This mall has now been renamed the "Collin McCreek Mall" after this rally practice in the lot.

You, good sir, have not mastered the fine art of e-brake turns, have you?

Let me tell you a story of young lad, with a Ford Probe GT, and a snowy Richmond, VA winter. A one foot snow storm meant all but the main roads were unplowed. Side streets had a snowbank in front of them because, well, they weren't main roads.…

WHERE THE HELL ARE PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO PRACTICE CAR CONTROL IF NOT IN ANY EMPTY, PERFECTLY SAFE MALL PARKING LOT?!?!

I could watch that thing work for hours.

Aw man, that's a shame. This wasn't a guy who was out to get his hoon on (well, I mean, he was, but not like dat), this was a guy who knew the symphony and altogether rightness of a for-real four-wheel drift. Look at him—he's not trying to be stupid, he's trying to be graceful. And I bet he's listening to "Air On a…

Ugh, I hate the people who are just impossible to explain anything to. I had a conversation about pesto this week that went like this:

Yeah, he accidently tried breaking a speeding time record. Ooops sorry!

Well, I mean, yeah, they're affected in that they'll presumably have to move to Canada if they want to be with him, but I dunno if that's really all that "affected" in the deeper sense that you're implying. Come on, it's Canada, not friggin' Syria.

You still suck.

I've read that article a bunch of times and everytime, I just imagine her thinking "goddamn I LOVE this plane". The whole story makes me love/hate the American military because yes, woman combat pilots are more than capable of doing the job and an A-10 is still a badass piece of machinery that deserves to keep flying.

I didn't mean to hijack this thread! That F-16's ability to keep flying with that much damage and all those computers is baffling, wonderful and godlike. The skill of the pilots is amazing as well, testament to that is their very survival, from such a hairball, mess. Heroes, all. Can you imagine what it is like to…

Tyler, I worked on F-16 control system software for several years. Essentially the flight control system uses sensors that measure what the plane is doing (pitch, roll, and yaw rates; pitch, roll, and yaw attitude; AoA, airspeed, etc.), the environment the plane is in (airspeed, altitude, temperature), and what the…

Why does everyone always feel for the truckers.

Damn, I'll issue a correction.

I'm not an interpreter or captioner myself but I'm very familiar with this as a Deaf person. It looks like somehow, the practice file that captioners use to essentially train the computer to recognize names was sent into the broadcast stream.

Generally, a captioner will spend time before an assignment inputting all…

Oh yeah, that storied Alabama rocket scientist heritage. Was that the Tuscaloosa Von Brauns, or was it the clan from Decatur?

An hour and a half? That's nothing. Race relations have been frozen for a hundred and fifty-one years in Alabama.

And we have a Challenger for best joke of the day!
