You became a less responsible driver because the car isn't yours, you don't have any emotional attachment to it, and you probably don't respect it very much.
Yeah, and you can't deny that Ethiopians like to be thin!
Enough with the GIFs. Seriously. They're showing up in my RSS feed; they're incredibly distracting, they change too fast for me to really get a good look at either photo which means they're pointless, and NINEEN NINETY SIX CALLED AND WANTS ITS ANIMATED WEB PAGES BACK.
LEDs are pulsed to get the most luminous flux; they're less efficient the hotter the junction is. Running at a partial duty cycle means the junction has time to dissipate some heat before it's switched on again.

What is this doing on Jalopnik? Detroit is just another city that invested itself entirely in one industry and paid the price, just like every other city before it. It's happened for two centuries and it'll keep on happening as long as voters are too stupid to keep falling for preferential industry treatment in the…
Given that men are victims of violent crime three times more than women, you're right, it isn't the same thing for you.
"but will still have to deal with shit from people almost every single day, because no matter where you go, there are intolerant people. There are racist people. There are mean people. And that scares me."
Whiter than white (German/Irish) and my favorite comfort food is Mom's baked mac and cheese casserole.
