On a previous vehicle its autostart/security system had a feature where I could leave it idling with the key out, but any change to controls or more than a subtle movement and it would shut off and re-arm. If it was left for more than five minutes without being “resumed” it would also shut off and re-arm.

Objects within the vehicle pose a serious threat as well. If you’ve got a toolbox or other gear in the back of your SUV, strap that shit down, people. No reason to get yourself (or your passengers) bead blasted on the off chance you slide into a snowbank one day.

Having owned both a launch edition PS3 as well as an Xbox 360 (with separate HD-DVD drive!), I can confirm this statement.

They genuinely worked great in home theater setups (proper CEC support for things like universal remotes, soundbar/receiver audio return, HDR auto detect and HDCP passthrough), but the majority of people didn’t care or couldn’t be bothered to dive into the extra capabilities. It was a box that played games.

Barge bypass to Colombia, same as any other sensible people.

They aided with breaking trail, tow recoveries and charging the Nissan as needed if the panels, turbine or generator wasn’t doing the trick. For the Northern leg, they used two diesel F-350 6x6 trucks, but for the Antarctic portion they…

I love how the embedded links to “Arctic Trucks” and “39-Inch Tires” go to some random slideshow about Burning Man and a Ford Bronco chassis breakdown.

It’s extremely stupid, but still not nearly as bad as the G/O network-wide crutch of punctuating cold take headlines with “, actually.”

I kind of want to buy one of the long-boi wipers just so I can mount it on a plaque on a wall, like some sort of sad, taxidermied Marlin.

I’m glad that we’ve at least moved on past the jellybean Ford era.

Minor, but important correction. Death Stranding was first released in November of 2019, not 2020.

Now do cruise ships.

Takes 1.3 seconds to hit that switch, and they failed to do so. They deserved the PIT.

I am disappointed that you did not immediately commit grand theft auto.

This car would absolutely have sold for near their asking price just in part-out potential only a few years ago.

I take it back! The paint is that thick.

I don’t think the red paint is that thick.
