HOW MUCH?
There are not many supercars in New Zealand, probably because they are a bit on the expensive side, and our ever deteriorating roads would totally munt them in no time flat. But I started wondering, if I was filthy rich, and in the market for some racy looking bling, how much would a new 2024 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport Red Dragon cost?
The Red Dragon flaunts subtle Nocturne exterior accents, accompanied by sleek black-painted lightweight five-spoke wheels that seamlessly blend with the understated Super Sport stripes, cleverly concealing vibrant red brake calipers. The exterior is a symphony of design, a testament to Bugatti’s commitment to perfection.
Inside the cockpit, the elegance continues with Blanc (white) seats and door panels harmoniously paired with meticulously handstitched Hot Spur contrasting details and Beluga Black carpets. This meticulous attention to detail extends to the dash and door tops, creating a visually striking and athletically inspired contrast that elevates the interior to a level of unmatched sophistication.
The Red Dragon isn’t Bugatti’s first venture into the world of red-tinted carbon fiber; a similar aesthetic was employed in the Pur Sport Grand Prix unveiled just last year. The integrated headrests boast contrasting ’Chiron Super Sport’ embroidery, and even the rear-view mirror is color-matched to the striking exterior hue. Overall, it stands as one of the most captivating Super Sports to date, a remarkable feat considering the array of jaw-dropping releases from Bugatti in recent months.
Underneath its bespoke exterior, the Red Dragon retains the powerhouse that is the 8.0-liter W16 quad-turbo motor, delivering an astonishing 1,578 horsepower and a tire-shredding 1,180 lb-ft of torque. The elongated rear end, 9.84 inches longer than a regular Chiron, not only contributes to a more graceful aesthetic but also enhances stability at high speeds, achieving a 40% reduction in aerodynamic stall. Consequently, the Super Sport effortlessly reaches a top speed of 273 mph, an impressive feat by any measure.
In the case of the Red Dragon and similar bespoke Bugatti creations, customers collaborate with the Sur Mesure department to tailor every detail to their precise preferences. The exclusivity of Bugatti is highlighted by instances like a wealthy couple commissioning matching Super Sports. However, for those who haven’t secured their Chiron yet, the window has closed, with all units spoken for. Yet, for the less discerning, the secondhand market may still unveil opportunities, such as the recent discovery of a rare Super Sport 300+, expected to fetch a staggering $5.5 million. Bugatti has capped the production of Super Sports at 80 units, while the even more exclusive Super Sport 300+ is limited to just 30 units, ensuring that these automotive masterpieces remain rare gems on the roads."

The Most Dangerous Superstition
"When someone looks out at the world and sees all manner of suffering and injustice, stretching back for thousands of years and continuing today, he invariably blames such problems on someone else's hatred, greed, or stupidity. Rarely will someone consider the possibility that his own belief system is the cause of the pain and suffering he sees around him. But in most cases, it is. The root cause of most of society's ills--the main source of man's inhumanity to man--is neither malice nor negligence, but a mere superstition--an unquestioned assumption which has been accepted on faith by nearly everyone, of all ages, races, religions, education and income levels. If people were to recognize that one belief for what it is--an utterly irrational, self-contradictory, and horribly destructive myth--most of the violence, oppression and injustice in the world would cease. But that will happen only when people dare to honestly and objectively re-examine their belief systems. "The Most Dangerous Superstition" exposes the myth for what it is, showing how nearly everyone, as a result of one particular unquestioned assumption, is directly contributing to violence and oppression without even realizing it. If you imagine yourself to be a compassionate, peace-loving, civilized human being, you must read this book."

Bikini Atoll is a hot tourist destination
Bikini Atoll is now a popular tourist destination, but clueless "scientists" are pretending to be baffled as to why marine life is thriving there...
The realisation that "nuclear bombs" are entirely fictional is not an area they want to get into.
The photos of the "nuclear testing" are all spectacularly fake. And there were supposedly 23 bombs tested, LOL, why is it always 23?.
Scientists report corals as big as cars and say it is teeming with fish such as snapper, sharks and tuna.
Steve Palumbi, professor of marine sciences at Stanford University and his team have been studying the effects of radiation poisoning on marine life. He declared the flora and fauna “remarkably resilient” at the Micronesian island, located halfway between Hawaii and Australia.
The scientist reports plentiful schools of fish inhabiting the lagoon, using the living coral as a place to spawn. Profesor Palumbi says fish populations are thriving because they have been left alone - “in a strange way they are protected by the history of this place”.
The
abundant coral seem unharmed by high radiation levels. A research team
is investigating how the coral colonies are able to survive – and even
thrive - by sequencing their DNA as well as calculating mutation rates
and patterns.
