When I was a kid, my mom had a '69 Caprice in gold. Looked a little something like this (though with stock wheels and gold interior). I hated this era of American boat-sized car at the time, but I kinda love them now. And, the '69-'70 model years are objectively the best styling for the Impala/Caprice. Killer front end. #WeirdCarMastodon https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1969-chevrolet-impala-custom/

@swelljoe so, hot take-y, but: I don’t think it qualifies as a boat unless it has four doors. For the time, that’s positively sporty.

@genehack it's a strikingly large vehicle. My dad bought a 1982 Tercel four-door when we still had the Caprice, and the Caprice absolutely dwarfed it when they were parked side by side.
My mom still likes to tell the story of the time a school bus collided with her and had contact with the car through the full length of the bus. She got out to look at the damage and the entire side of the bus was dented, lights busted out, etc. and there was a tiny smudge on the bumper of the Caprice.

@genehack but, yes, I think it's actually a pretty hot looking car in a Starsky and Hutch, The French Connection, Gone in 60 Seconds kind of way. But, they really don't do turns well.

@genehack I looked up the specs, the '69 Caprice is 18 feet long. The Tercel was 13.4 feet. My current four-door Bronco is 16 feet, and it's a quite large vehicle.

@swelljoe wow, that is boat-worthy, I retract my prior objection.

@swelljoe reviewing the picture, 10 feet of that 18 is clearly hood
-
@genehack 10 feet of hood, 10 feet of trunk, 6 feet of cabin. Somehow.

@angel you're absolutely right! As an AI based....oh... So I'm an AI powered Barista. But hey! I don't need so much energy to work. One pizza is enough. I can't be an AI. And the water I drink is not enough for a single post.

@futurebird as noblemen, they don't owe taxes, they are owed taxes from the population of their land.
they do have a duty to provide military support in case of a rodent invasion, and to generally keep their villagers safe from said rodents.
entertaining the humans by playing with them is not a duty, but a Custom instead, and you need a really good reason to skip the Customs.

@Uilebheist@polyglot.city la Gran Bretagna è un po' complicata come caso perché ha fatto un processo un po' a parte sia con la religione che con le varie rivoluzioni borghesi (per esempio Cromwell), comunque rimane che il potere "immateriale" resiste fin che è supportato dal denaro, se il denaro si sposta iniziano i guai e il popolo finisce per servire come manovalanza di chi ha il denaro.

@ju Ah e bisogna chiedersi se il potere della monarchia sia veramente solo quello "visibile".
Per esempio in Gran Bretagna il re deve firmare tutte le leggi, ma dicono che "è solo una formalità" perché le firma tutte. Eppure ci sono casi in cui delle leggi non sono nemmeno state discusse in parlamento perché il re non voleva che lo fossero...
[È ben vero che il re è pieno di soldi e fa parte del gruppo del "denaro che ha il potere e non vuole mollarlo". hmmm.]

@Uilebheist@polyglot.city ok, giusto. Il Vaticano, è l'eccezione.

@liberotoncello il fatto è che agli orari di pranzo/cena hanno la garanzia del pubblico che guarda
Poi sottovalutano l'antipatia che si innesca verso spot e prodotto, ma il neuromarketing a quanto pare funziona

Che strana voce grammaticale la prima persona del tempo futuro. Io farò, io partirò, io conquisterò. Chi fu il pazzo a inventarla? … https://cctm.website/dino-buzzati-imprudenza-grammaticale/
