None. Laws don’t seem to matter anymore; see the salon in DFW which repeatedly opened against court order, salon owner was arrested and put in jail, and Republican politicians from the Governor on down started changing the law to remove jail time as a punishment.  Fucking Ted Cruz went to go get a haircut.  Basically…

In literal terms, you’re not wrong. We won’t be safe until those two things happen. But, 1) is still a long ways from certification and widespread confirmed effectiveness, and 2) is even further away with no guarantee that it’ll be possible. I think the key to accept is, we won’t be safe. Do we seal ourselves inside…

Is that some sort of clown bubble car?  How many people are filing into it?

F-ing rookie mistake.  Sorey aboot that.  

Audio from the traffic stop:

So many dealer games and nonsense. When are we going to a straight pricing, Tesla-like ordering experience already? My parents grew up haggling in Taiwanese night markets and they passed the “find a deal” gene to me, and while I enjoy it for the most part and Slickdeals.com is my second home, I get really freaking…

So much of “news” nowadays are just hot takes (and I’m under no pretense that this blog is news, but still.) I suspect that the author here knows he could have clarified with the source(s), but wanted to get his take out there for discussion.  It’s an article so it counts toward his daily post count, and it’s…

For some reason, capitalizing “Giving Joy Rides” makes it sound sexual to me.

I can’t stop looking at the trim piece that floats in the air starting at the 0:58 mark. Looks like a cover for the right side grab bar. It’s like it’s in zero-G.

Not enough murder or wood-chipper.

I really, really wish the Jalopnik authors would at least try to understand the automotive industry and how suppliers/supply chains work.  Maybe hire someone other than a NYC millenial to write articles.  

Can you imagine?  Pick up an SUV in Spartanburg, drive hours through nondescript SC over to Myrtle Beach (preferably during Bike Week), and leave your BMW at the dealer there in disgust as you board a plane happily returning home

I remember that incident - if I recall it was pretty grisly as she was half-sucked out of the window?  Poor woman - I was flying for work a bunch at that time and remember how chilling it’d be if the window next to me suddenly exploded open

Marge, change the channel!

I love when salesmen bash their own product inexplicably. I’ve had a salesman accompany me on a test drive, go over features like bluetooth, “but don’t use that because the sound quality is crap, you want to connect via a USB cord.” I had no issues with sound quality using BT, and was just amazed that he brought that…

Shrug, I like knowing the depth down to the exact measurement.  How’s Abe’s head going to tell me that?

Please tell me that “yes, planes can fly with a de-skinned engine, they test for that all the time”

One situation is in a security-screened environment where they will summon air marshals/airport police quickly if you don’t listen up. The other was at a Family Dollar in Flint. So, you know. *makes hand weighing motion
