Startup idea: Diplomats get to bring cars in that would otherwise be banned from US roads. Weirdo Jalops want to drive these cars. We’ve already got apps like Getaround and Turo that let people rent out their cars—start one dedicated solely to otherwise prohibited cars with diplomatic plates: DIPLO.

So...a C-class?

I wouldn’t touch that with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole.

I knew a few Argentinians and Brazilians who only spoke German.

Having been taught Spanish by an argentine of German descent, there are definitely nazis there.

Well, there is rumored to be a lot of Nazis in Argentina. This may sink the rumors of Hitler making it there, but that’s it.

psa: If you’re building a rig with top quality components go seasonic PSU.

SSD. IMO the most noticeable upgrade even when compared to CPU or memory. If you put two systems side by side, one with a HDD and the other a SSD the difference in responsiveness is night and day.

RAM. never ever skimp on RAM

Yes, but the one in LA is a straight shot down, not slalomy at all. Lombard is all twisty, you know... like a slalom.

I think it’s actially steeper than Lombard. Lombard isn’t even the steepest street in San Francisco.

Here’s a crazy idea. How about LA actually does something about its impossibly shitty traffic instead of bitching as people search in vain for a work around.

If the road is so dangerous why is it open to through traffic? The article even said that a fire truck couldn’t handle it, so why is it still open?

If you’re going abroad, and can afford the cost, just get the AT&T International Day Pass (or equivalent on your carrier, if they offer it). We did that last summer, and it provided full access to our entire 30GB/mo data plan for $10/day. While speeds were somewhat slow (I think the local carriers do some throttling),…

Why is this only 5 minutes? I wanted to see all of his machines. Those are glorious!!

Dear God, it's even crazier in there!
