Aren’t those blocks desirable because they’re basically a reinforced normal Olds 350 block? Good for boost and all that, especially in the bad old days before aftermarket blocks were plentiful

Yeah they're quite suitable for all that poo poo, barring the fact that statistically they're more likely to have been parked under a pine tree outside a barn for 31 years

that japanese channel sounds like it’s extremely my poo poo

NHK World. They broadcast it on a tv subcarrier here and i will turn that poo poo on and just let it mumble in the background for eighteen hours. when i get burned out i just focus on that and watch some 93 year old japanese guy pull noodles while a narrator goes "Wow! This tradition has been common in this prefecture for seventy years." i can get about 45 channels on OTA TV here and ninety percent of my tv channel time is spent on it

when ecstasy and raves were a thing in 80/90s people were dying (maybe it was just one or two) from that water intoxication thing, so the knowledge because to drink powerade or whatever because it supplies electrolytes and you can just drink boatloads of it

i think

overdosing on opioids must be the best way to die

no, they weren't. they were dying from the meth and/or drain cleaner in the pills

boomer fucks loved propagating the 'water intoxication' trope because it was seen as a SEE HOW DANGEROUS THESE RAVES ARE? YOU LOSE YOUR MIND SO BADLY THAT YOU _KILL_ YOURSELF WITH _WATER_ but 99.9% of the rave deaths were due to crank and other adulterants in pills, because mdma was so heavily cracked down on that they resorted to cutting it to make money.

the problem was the war on drugs, the problem they wanted to propose was MDMA IS SATAN

in 98 i was a junior in high school and working as a typesetter

this is a good book http://thinkingwithtype.com

cutting my teeth at a press was one of the best things that happened to me

i won awards for my review of sonic youth's Washing Machine during my HS journalism stint which i dearly loved, and i worked at a newspaper for a short while. i absolutely loved all of the engineering/production/backroom action and had very little to do with front end advertising poo poo which is probably why i have such fond memories of it all

i used to drink one at midnight when i got off work and a second one at about 3:30 AM.

I almost _died_ and I certainly have persisting cardio problems because of that habit

i had a cow orker who would get crazy migranes

like all of a sudden with no warning she'd just go completely blind and we'd have to take her to the back room and let her lie down and take medicine

one of our principal engineers is absolutely constantly destroyed with migraines. he's taken three months off before just to lie in a cold dark room and cry through it. really good dude and one of the smartest people i've ever met. he's thinking about retiring at the end of the year and he's in his early 40s. just can't work any more.

moved back to the netherlands in february because even with our best in class insurance he couldn't get the treatments and medications he needed to control it in the states. talk about timing
