Yep. It’s not for amateurs.
“What’s the use of being sober, when you’re gunna get drunk again?”
Today I learned how the dashboard got its name.
The dashboard was a literal board designed to catch filth. In the horse-and-buggy era, horses at a ‘full dash’ had a tendency to kick up a cocktail of mud, rocks – and of course manure – directly into the driver’s face.
Carriage-makers developed a wooden barrier to at least partially block the debris. When engines replaced horses, the board stayed put, and the name stuck, even though the mud and poop no longer did.

TIL that anaesthetists have no sense of humour. Went in for a knee op and was asked what I was taking blood thinners for. I said to thin my blood. Lights out pretty quick and woke up in recovery. He didn’t find it funny but he did his job.
Well it would have because most roads were still unpaved in those days.
While I am here, TIL that robots can make chips…!
These are now for sale in Australia.
End days
