There’s not enough money in the world.

Elon Musk has enough money now to fix every McDonald's ice cream machine, but he won't because he only thinks of himself.

Dave's Car ID Service is keeping it clean today with a look back at a neglected topic in automotive history: the car wash. So sit back, put it in neutral, release your parking brake. And don't forget to roll up your windows! (1959 Chevy Bel Air sedan)

"Rent Is So High, New Yorkers Are Living With Nuns" Convent boarding houses are affordable and clean, but there are rules: curfews, chores and sometimes nuns who vet boyfriends. There are worse things than living with nuns! wsj.com/lifestyle/rent-is-so…

God forbid anyone actually builds a starter home. Oh the humanity!
"Tiny homes" continue to grow in popularity. These are selling for around $140,000 for just over 600 square feet in Texas.

20 years ago, An Inconvenient Truth put climate change at the center of global debate, shaping politics, influencing leaders, and inspiring a generation of activists. Two decades later, we can assess not just its impact, but its accuracy. Many of the film’s most alarming predictions did not materialize, while many of the policies it inspired have proven costly and ineffective. The lesson? Panic is a poor guide for public policy. Focusing on innovation, adaptation, and economic development can do far more to help both people and the climate—at a fraction of the cost. financialpost.com/opinion/bj…

Anybody who’s old enough will find a dark humor in seeing Gerry Adams calling for calm and denouncing people for being unhappy with people of non-Irish heritage being present in Ireland
Last nights incident in Belfast is no excuse for tonights rascist attacks. Rascists are exploiting mostly young people without thought for the consequences. People deserve better. Say no to rascism.

Venus and Jupiter. Too much city lights to see the rest
Venus and Jupiter are finally in conjunction, 1.65° apart. Don't forget Mercury 14° to their lower right. Think photo opportunity! buff.ly/PkPbrGF #stargazing

Hey @CartonCalderon me acuerdo de un cartón de Abel Quezada con esta idea, en un panel al rico le sirven gusanos de maguey y el pobre no tiene otra cosa. Te acuerdas? Lo tendrás?

I teach auto shop at a small high school. We work on students cars, teachers cars, students parents cars and some community people cars. We only charge for parts and not labor, so we saved some people a lot of money last school year. This last school year we did 126 oil changes, 68 brake jobs, 85 alignments, 4 steering racks, 22 tune ups, 32 struts, 20 shock absorbers, 4 transfer cases, mounted and balanced 82 new tires, 4 timing chains, 15 valve cover gaskets, 14 thermostats, 4 radiators, 12 in tank fuel pumps, 8 EVAP canisters, 6 exhaust manifolds, 4 mufflers, 15 AC repairs including evacuate and recharge, 8 alternators, 22 batteries, 9 starters and so much more! Proud of those students I am!

To @alpharivelino for analysis
We need a reality dating show called "Average SEC Couples" that's just 15 Average Joe's from the South wooing 15 gorgeous women with generational wealth.

Indebted to @zoecabina of @Quillette here for explaining dating apps & why these die & the need for a costly courtship to help boy meet girl ... would add that if churches had any sense of mission, being a meeting place would be their first priority youtube.com/watch?v=Z_-tar5Z…

Desde que el presidente Donald Trump cerró el programa de financiamiento USAID, ningún país en Latinoamérica ha vuelto a ganar elecciones un líder de izquierda, se acabaron las caravanas de migrantes y los “estallidos sociales”. ¿Se dieron cuenta de esto?.

"And gentlemen in England now a-bed Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day." --- Henry V, Act IV, Scene III Dave's Car ID Service remembers D-Day on its 82nd anniversary today. A bit of a melancholy remembrance, as the sun continues to set on those Greatest Generation men who fought it. It's estimated that only 45,000 American WWII veterans remain, perhaps fewer than 100 D-Day veterans. Their numbers relentlessly decrease. And one day, in the not distant future, there will be none. That's inevitable. But what isn't inevitable is forgetting what they did. It's our societal obligation, even among those born in this century, to keep that flame of their memory alive so that it persists 100, 500, 1000 years into the future. These silly car ID threads I host have that as a serious goal: they're sort of a rage against the dying of memory. And there's no memory more worthy of preservation than the Americans, Canadians, Brits, and others who fought on the beaches of Normandy that early morning, June 6 1944. I have a reverence for those men, and am grateful to have known a dozen or two who were there. And you can bet your ass that I hold my manhood cheap when I think about what they did that day. Over my stint as an online car identifier, I am honored to have received several photos of D-Day veterans with their mystery cars. And those IDs I approach with a special reverence. As a thread starter today I'm going to rerun a few. Below is @minhagim's grandfather. He was a helped plan out the D-Day invasion as a mapper in Army intelligence. How he even got to that point was a miracle. Per his grandson's note: "Grandfather maimed or killed two Gestapo officers when they came for his parents (he was an amateur boxer). Took his parents and two siblings and immediately left. Made it to France. Fought with the French resistance. Mid-war emigrated to USA." In #3 he's postwar in his civvies with his new bride and a 1946-48 Chrysler. Incidentally, Grandpa's brother landed on Omaha beach that day and survived, later working in the CIA. x.com/minhagim/status/140160… x.com/minhagim/status/122047…
