Almost everything you’ve said is wrong.

I believe brake fires on a rejected takeoff are permitted on a rejected takeoff test, as long as they don’t spread beyond the brake, within the expected response time. The wheels have temperature/pressure safety releases to keep the tires from rupturing.

It’s criminal that nobody has mentioned Roadkill yet. Is there no love for Freiburger and Finnegan? They are all the things that reality TV isn’t, and they’re reality “TV.” You know how you usually can’t watch a reality show without wanting to punch one of the people on, it in the face? Sometimes within a minute?…

Touchscreen interfaces are not a “finally for pilots.” They’re purposefully not used in cockpits because you have no tactile feedback for both making sure you’re pressing what you intended to (ie, you can place your finger, make physical contact with the button, and stop pressing it if you feel your finger slip) but…

ISIS doesn’t give a shit about the US, friend, beyond making people like you scared of them.

Airshows are where some of the most dangerous flying in the world can be found. Not only are you performing high-speed maneuvers very low to the ground, but thousands of anxious fans line the runways to get a glimpse of the action up close. However, this risk was mitigated by the best training system in the world.

#1: NEVER use a powerwasher in an engine compartment. You’re going to force water into connectors, get it into bolt threads which will then corrode, damage gaskets, etc. Electrical connectors are rated to keep splashed water off them, maybe a direct stream, but absolutely not pressure washer streams.

Incredibly slow and hard to maneuver so the fleet protecting it can’t move much either and it can’t evade anything faster than a sailboat, massive radar profile in a time where modern warships are being built that have low radar returns, powerplants/systems not designed for quiet operation so subs could hear it a…

How do they not know who was driving? There’s tons of video, including of the drivers getting out of the cars!

Landlords don’t evict people. They file in court to start eviction proceedings. Judges issue orders of eviction.

None of the people who “pointed out” the UFO brakes were “knowledgeable” on them. It reminds me of Ferrari fans: never touched/driven one, but an expert in them. They were all car/Audi enthusiasts who heard from a friend who heard from a friend about them and have never seen one in person. FYI: if you know you want a…

I didn’t see him really getting through corners faster than anyone else. It seemed almost entirely him late-braking/early apexing and just shoving his way through in a game of chicken.

Honey, EVERYONE likes to label themselves a geek/nerd, thinking that because they have some particular intense interest that makes them a geek/nerd. Usually said particular intense interest is something really mainstream and totally OK to be really into.

As a man, do you have any idea how much I agree with this? “So, if I’m not sufficiently physically attractive, I can’t ask for anything from my potential partner?”

Curious. Why does “a job with benefits” matter to you? You’re employed, right?

You’re constructing a strawman argument - that people out there are telling you that you need to date basement-dwelling smelly unemployed people who don’t know how to clean and are single parents.

As someone who owned one of these cars for 10+ years, they’re not horrifying at all. Complicated? Says some blogger who never actually worked on them. You can change the pads and rotor by removing ONE small set-screw that keeps the rotor aligned when the wheel is off. You don’t even need to put the screw back on; it’s…

And meanwhile if you keep the UFOs, you get nearly as good braking and you can still run 15” snows+rims.

Audi of America sales were in dire shape after the 60 minutes thing. The worldwide company was largely unimpacted by it.

What does the mileage have to do with the brakes?
