@nickfshort Check out the AWE factory museum also!

@DrHelenFry Richard Frank‘s, “Downfall”

@BoCamaro It’s for pumps that dispense that corn liquored up E15/E10. They’ve got the ability to pump both blends but if E15 was selected you can E12.5 in the first gallon if you want E10. And no small engine should be run on that stuff. Save the ethanol for the moonshine please.

@klaasm67 Johnny Winter auch, 1969

@UltimativCars @aut0mob @CarManToday @ObscureSupercar @JeremyClarkson @BBC_TopGear @javierd1969 @omenschikov The car shown is a recreation. The original didn’t survive a fire (more than one, actually ;-). Miller begat Offenhauser, which begat Meyers & Drake. The Miller Marine 4 cyl was the genesis of the killer Offy.

@SSN_685 @joeroganhq Put myself up for getting out during a big layoff. Found out the job I just got shuffled into was an 80 hour a week deal, exempt employee over 60 and I said, if it works out, I don’t mind taking the severance and walking away. Best decision I made.

@Eric_Schmitt Odd request from a landlocked Missourian, but please push strengthening US maritime (Navy, CG, Merchant Marine). We're an oceanic nation with amazing navigable rivers and seaports that are the envy of the world.

@cqcqcqdx Voice of Music tape recorders used them in the 50s & 60s

@klaasm67 Attended church with a gentleman my father’s age who spent the war in an M10 TD. Not my idea of fun - a quiet brave man.

@BuzzPatterson @TomPorterDC What percentage of pilots are capable of that?

[Hugo Becker @atrhugo]

@archeohistories There was a switch in NE where switchmen used unclaimed memory in an ESS switch to create a „Friends & Family“ free long distance plan. IIRC, someone ran an audit on the memory, knew that block should be vacant, and got Swell Labs involved. Things went downhill from there. ;-)

[Hugo Becker @atrhugo]

@archeohistories 2.6kHz dropped the long distance trunk, local trunk to toll switch remains up. Call an 800 # blow 2600 then pump digits for the # you really want. CCSS 7 put an end to it. No, I didn’t do that I worked for AT&T.

@Chiefs247365 Hey what’s that wrapper doing there? ;-)

Happy 5/4 day!!

@For_Film_Fans If you know how flimsy those 917s actually were (in fact almost any FIA sports racer of that era) you can understand just how challenging Le Mans in that age was. End of the Mulsanne straight and the cars getting just a bit 'hinky' under braking - beyond my meager capabilities.

Alex Zanardi left us much too soon - an intense competitor and a great human being . . . RIP

[Paul McGinnes @PaulMcG1992]

Simply known as 'The Pass'...

During the 1996 Monterey Grand Prix at the WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, Alex Zanardi passes Bryan Herta at the The Corkscrew during the final lap of the race.

@TKratman @hoodfarquaad The greater Kansas City metro area is about the same size as the New York City metro, but with only 1/10th the population density. We're quite happy with our spacious lawns and cars ;-)

Created a workaround - but still, it shouldn’t have to be like this. Case sensitive file systems are part and parcel to a UNIX background. Why Adobe?

[Hugo Becker @atrhugo]

Once again @Photoshop strikes! I just upgraded my PS Elements package on a Mac and can’t install it because I use case sensitive file systems. And no refund info for it. Caveat emptor

@UltimativCars @Moumounepujol It’s a Chebby V8! (Us ‘muricans pronounce Chevrolet, Chevy or IYKYK ‘chebby’ ;-)
