Why doesn't Nissan USA call them Fairlady anymore?
Probably Tradition. US-sold Z-cars have never officially carried the Fairlady moniker, which has primarily been used only in right hand drive markets. Some people call them that, because it's a nice enough name, but it's never been official as far as I know.
Here's an interesting fact for you, though - the name originally came from when the president of Nissan Motors was on a trip to the states, and saw a play on Broadway - specifically, My Fair Lady. A later president in the 1960s decided that it wouldn't resonate with the US audience as it did with the Japanese Audience, so the badging for the new US Export Fairladys was changed to the Datsun Sports 1600.
My mom recently went back to Australia to visit her family and asked if I wanted anything while I was there. Got some Shapes, some Tim Tams, and more importantly I asked her to get me some port wine jello.
Maybe I just suck at searching but this shit is hard to find in the U.S., however it's pretty common there. Maybe in other commonwealth countries but I wanna say the actually Jell-O brand Jello was exclusive to there.
So tonight I'm making some with whip cream and some without and then combining it into the ultimate dessert. Hopefully it works out.
A 'mirror' which uses a kinect/ primesense and fluffballs/ pom poms. I've seen several variations of this using different methods of reproducing the mirror image.
Thanks Churba, I started replying and now I'm in way too deep.
I saw that. I'm trying to stay at arm's length, but I did chuck a few votes your way.
And really, all you did was make the thread better. You know a comment is going to be gold when the opening fucking line is "it amazes me how many people are actually socialists but dont realize it."
Don't even get me started on white tech-bro whining(now deleted) about how he's sick of white tech bros accused of being racist, sexist, classist, and ignorant, and how it's all wearing a little bit thin after being told so many times(Clearly, the idea of just not being a fucking knob was not considered) and then calling you a racist when saying "Yo, dude, white people don't get a race card to play."
I may be misremembering it but I think that dude was actually calling everyone else racist, sexist, classist, and ignorant for their views on the "white techie boogeyman".

tl;dr version: Boss was being a dick, employee chokes him and gets promoted. (Oh, and the boss gets fired.)
Kinda interesting.
They're fun to look at and play with.
