“It [Google Maps] also doesn’t automatically update your route if there’s a traffic even while you’re driving. Instead, if it detects a traffic jam and wants to reroute you, you can chose whether to accept that new route or carry on your way.”

That’s actually the least steep grade going down that hill. There are two other routes down, but both are steeper and more residential.

So soccer player head butts an opponent. Hooligans burn down the city. Soccer player is responsible for burned down city?

But Clarkson didn’t make the threats. Why should he be responsible for them?

You are missing one of the primary reasons for driving a winter beater: the car can take more punishment before your heart/bank account breaks.

I’m not sure I buy your assumption that putting a team back in Los Angeles makes the league “bigger and better”. LA doesn’t seem willing to support a team. I’m assuming that that’s why the Rams left in the first place, ditto the Raiders later on.

Maybe Kosar should invite Maziel out for drinks. He’d probably go for that.

Was “Endura” code for fiberglass?

Aggressor squadron...http://www.navytimes.com/story/military…

Oooohhh...I want to be able to increase the aggression level of my self-driving car, and, of course, drop the aggression level of everyone elses.

You are missing Phase 1.5, when the first really awful AD-caused accident kills people, and a significant set of lawsuits drives the scientists back behind their lawyers, giving us at least another generation without AD.

Oh that silver Dino...breath taking.

There is a service area or some other sort of parking area on the right. You can see it at :07 in the clip. That’s where the Mercedes came from.

Unfortunately, that only works for the first, and maybe the second car to get to the overpass and can fit on the shoulder. Then you have some idiot stop in the middle of the road under the overpass, and you can’t see them because your windshield is a mess.

Nice pedanticism, but actually BOAC Airlines is correct. BOAC is the company, just like Delta, American, etc.. BOAC Airlines is the airline that that company ran. A redundancy would be TWA Airlines since that last A was for “Airlines”.

Perhaps stopping would have risked being hit from behind. Better to try to drive through what you can see than hope that whoever is behind you is going to stop.

Doug, you overlooked the trade option...

That's it! We need to start a movement to replace Clarkson with Doug!

Why, oh why, isn't there something worse to vote than just Crack Pipe?

Wow. That seems incredibly unlikely. Putin feels threatened by NATO? Right. Um...when has NATO ever actually threatened Russia? He's worried, what, that we're going to invade? Did he have a stroke that wasn't reported? Is he suffering early-onset Alzheimer's?
