Tested one for a magazine ages back - the natural speed seemed to be 220kmh. Thinking the traffic was going slowly I’d look down and the speedo would read 220. I’d back it down. Few minutes later, 220. I’d back down. Sure enough.... Never got on with the styling (always reminded me a of benign dolphin) but as a capable…

Everyone should throw their leg over a liter bike at least once in their life. Ok, so maybe not everybody, but if you’ve got enough sense to recognize that it’ll kill you, you’re equipped to handle it. 

You do know they released a report acknowledging climate change, right?

We super-glued this man’s hand to the control bar...

Solstice, new GTO, and G8 to name a few.

Technically, he did exactly as the name implies: gliding while hanging on for dear life.

There go my plans to get one on the used market. These things are gonna stay expensive FOREVER.

Race wouldn’t have been as much of an issue in Jacobean times as it became later on. Modern racism was pretty much invented to justify the Transatlantic Slave Trade as plantation slavery in the New World drove it to ever more extreme and cruel levels. Before then, Europeans would’ve seen Africans (or South Asians like…

“These proof-of-concept data chips can retain 360 terabytes each; roughly equivalent to 180 million high-resolution image files. They can also withstand extreme temperatures, and it’s estimated the information can kept intact at room temperature for the current lifetime of the universe... these disks could…

The only problem is and its been a long going issue in this entire season The Doctor lacks rage. I don’t know if its the actor or the writers, but Every single Doctor in the new Series has this deep seated Rage that they unleash at the right time and she lacks it even tonight when it should be there she just falls…

Seems pretty easy to me. There’s no congestion if no one has a job to go to.

Chrysler’s entire model lineup consists of the 300 and Pacifica. I... don’t really see them being able to maintain that brand as an independent entity for long.

I don’t think this should be spun as a bad thing. They’re trying to prepare for a market correction/recession. The past few years have been too good for there not to be one.

As not the oldest, but definitely not young I admit thinking Mr Wizard on Nickelodeon was somewhat creepy when I was growing up (80s/90s). Why are all these kids going over this old guys house alone? It's not like he was extra weird, but I thought to myself yeah I wouldn't do that.

Skyrocketing rent is a problem, sure, but it was also high 1, 2, 5 years ago. It may have driven previous renters out of San Francisco proper, but I have a hard time imagining there’s many people who were renting a place for $2,200 a month, and when it went up $1,000 a month by this year... they suddenly became…

I mean I guess the idea they suggest is that you raise taxes so high - 10,000 million percent or something - that you drive out everyone (billionaires, millionaires, hundred thousand-aires, middle class people, young people, and everyone above the poverty line) who would normally be part of the market demand for…

This isn’t a more money problem, its a management problem.

Its BS to say that we should build more public bathrooms, we even have mobile public bathrooms that are dispatched daily to the homeless areas, some of which also have showers. We had to close public restrooms because... homeless people were using them for drugs.

You might be thinking that San Fran should consider bumping property taxes, milking the mega-rich unicorn investors,

Building housing for homeless is not always the solution. A lot of homeless people just don’t want it. In LA for example something like 20%+ of shelter beds are empty every single night, while thousands of people are sleeping on the streets. Blame bed bugs, blame homeless stealing from other homeless, fear, annoyance…
