I don’t get it, Dodge has some of if not the best ads on tv:

You have been lied to your whole life.

It was actually considered out-dated even before Pearl Harbor. That being said, the Russians used it to great effect in the air to air arena and especially in the air to ground category. What interesting about that is that it was horribly suited to both in the European theater.

Man I love the P-40 too, always have. And you’re completely right, Op. Torch and the following campaign is completely overlooked for the most part (or at least in comparison to Op. Overlord, conflicts in Italy, the island hopping campaign, etc.).

The P-40 was outdated fairly quickly and was at a bit of a disadvantage not only in the Pacific theater vs. Japanese Zeroes but also in the high-altitude air battles over Europe. And yet it was a pretty good looking fighter, gave us the fantastic Flying Tigers livery, and was pretty reliable in CAS roles.

Agreed, it's the only theory I'm willing to support.

Perhaps we should be trying to get closer to the sun rather than away from it? There are some really strong arguments why traveling to Venus would make a lot more sense and may actually be much less expensive, faster and easier to pull off.

All I ask for is Tyrannosaurs with frickin’ lasers attached to their heads.

Pouring actual boiling water on the wound is very bad idea. While it is true heat denatures the protein, boiling water will cause a worse injury in the process. Quick research suggests that water should be 100-115 degrees which is really only just warm, not even hot.

I got Bell's palsy, though not from a tick bite. Actually not sure how it developed. But one day, sitting at my desk, I noticed my eye was twitching kind of uncontrollably, then the corner of my mouth. Next day, I had no movement on half my face. It was still touch-sensitive, but man what a fucked up feeling. Went to…

I live in Southern NH near the MA border. I have had tic bites nearly yearly for the past decade. They used to test you, once when you got bit and then again 3-4 weeks later, they also used to send saved tics to the CDC for testing. Recent years they have stopped doing that and any tic bite is treated with a mega dose…

Elon Musk envisions self-driving cars being taken to their logical conclusion: crashes eliminated and drivers outlawed. After all, "You don't want a person driving a two-ton death machine," says Musk.

Agreed. Musk has pioneered electronic payments on the web, the private space industry, and the first mass-produced full EV worth owning. Even if he over-promises, he is still a bigger winner than the rest of us. Don't be jealous.

It's an all seeing eye...the great MI6.

"Alright, is the signal coming in?"
"YES. I SEE YOU."
"Great! How's my tie?"

reading this immediately brought to my attention just how loudly my timex is ticking on my dresser across the room. please make it stop.

It feels like the cold, clammy grasp of capitalism throwing you out on the street while a man in a flight suit and top hat runs you over.

Thanks for saying this. The rampant profanity on Gizmodo and its related websites always bothers me. Keep it fun, but professional. Leave the swearing to the forums.

Eric, it's bad enough when the NSFW articles have accompanying graphics that we don't have the option to click away at work, but is 28 point FUCK really necessary in the headline? You write good articles, this gratuitous profanity is totally unnecessary. (It isn't necessary in the body of the article either, but…
