Daily driving a Toyota Prius is a rolling statement that reads “I care about fuel economy and will sacrifice everything else for it.”

I agree. It’s a much prettier car.

How are these lasers visible?

I find it hilarious that they have to show their passports to DHS when they get off the plane. I bet the guys who flew the jets in had to also.

Things start badly when at 0:13 you see him go to shoot and then realize he hasn’t actually chambered a bullet yet...

Also, why do they always have these crappy helmets and no riding gear? I’ve never seen a cop in a full-face and proper gear. Short-sleeves and a Little League helmet shouldn’t cut it.

State Police always have much more formal uniforms, plus often giant hats.

Transmissions: 6-speed manual, 7-speed dual-clutch automatic

But it was hard to debate those people and tell them how lucky they are when I felt even more spoiled.

It all comes down to attitude. You can have a trust fund, but still behave as though you don’t.

I just set my bank account to automatically wire my mom $55 each month (which is what it costs to keep me on the family plan)

support the troops and guns!” [The last sentence is pretty much every one of her posts.]

And this is where the line between “rich” and “elitist” gets drawn. You can have everything provided for you, but still understand that most people aren’t as lucky and that you should support whatever helps those people.

Triple-blink blinkers are nearly perfect for lane changes

The little 0ne on the far right is the USS Pueblo. Captured by North Korea, but still a US Navy ccommissioned ship

Iran is to F-14s what Cuba is to American cars

Any idea why that picture is backwards?

I know it’s related to Jalopnik, but Tyler over at Foxtrot Alpha consistently writes very well-researched, unbiased military articles.

Not even comparable. ISIS isn’t dig into the terrain. And even if they were, Iwo Jima didn’t have “airstrikes” so much as “bomb the general area and hope you hit something” strikes

It’s an expression. I wasn’t arguing that 100% of Muslims love the West. However, most certainly don’t hate the West, and many that do are influenced by the crappy situations they are in, and blame us for those problems (many of which are directly or indirectly our fault).
