The regime in Iran, that is the crazy Mullahs who repress minorities, deny the Holocaust, demonize Israel, support terrorism (Hamas, Hezbollah and Syria's Assad), etc., is the problem.

Competition is good for consumers. The so-called freedom top, Jeep's version of a t-top, is a nice feature.

It needs 3 pedals. I would consider a manual Dakota.

No doubt an unfortunate development. Iran has a tendency to "disappear" spies. I am speaking specifically of Bob Levinson. https://thehill.com/opinion/international/451603-bob-levinson-still-awaits-freedom-as-we-celebrate

Fascinating stuff. I had no idea. Thanks! BTW, the snake was very calm. I assume it was just too cold for him. These are examples of dumb luck in my case. :) BTW, the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum is one of my favorite places!

This was at the top of local "mountain", at ~1,800 feet.

Interesting stuff. I had not heard that before. So, some background to the Diamondback picture: I came across him this morning at about ~7 am, and it was cool (for SE AZ) at about ~80. I assume he was warming up before heading out for breakfast. Rattlers are not uncommon in the area. Last...

Oops. Almost forgot this guy:

Recent encounters with some denizens of the desert:

? I figured that's what you originally meant, but didn't want to assume. :)

Ultimately, yes, visitors have no choice but to accept the fact that it's their country, their rules. My only disagreement with your post is: "proportional and rational punishment". Quite the contrary, IMHO. But it doesn't matter, as the Mullahs in Tehran don't give a flying fvck about my...

Wiki link below with all the usual disclaimers. That said, penalty of 1 to 10 years in prison, or in US terms a felony. I also agree with you that we are in the realm of mental-health-cum-political-protest, or vice-versa, as has been seen in other repressive regimes. She was in desperate...

Hijab protest. https://edition.cnn.com/2019/09/10/football/iran-football-women-sahar-khodayari-spt-intl/index.html

I get your point and know where you are coming from, I really do. We have something in common, achi. :) I am NO fan of the Iranian regime. I cannot stress this enough. Well, I suppose I could, but don't want to earn a ban. But ... I read the exchange here not to be defense of the Iranian...

+1 on the IDF pressure bandage +1 on noting the time of a tourniquet Good link!

4.56 is a good choice.

100% agree. Gears first. I went to 4.56 gears, and probably the single best modification, period.

Recommended, I think you will like it. Since this thread has morphed into a philosophical treatise of the soul and vehicle, I just want to point out that Descartes, not Voltaire, is your inspiration.

I am pressed for time, but basically your thoughts mimic, at least to me, the theme in "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". The main character rides an older BMW, and talks about the "quality" attributes of his old ride, especially compared to his friends' newer "fancier" rides. The...

You do Robert Pirsig justice. 100% serious, intended as nothing but a compliment.
