Singapore also has a mass transit system that, you know, works, unlike the US.

Imagine my surprise when I found out the beer prices when I was there. My budget of 30 singapore dollars was laughable.
Interesting. I suppose there will also be Asshat Edition, for the opposite side of the spectrum?
Singapore doesn't do everything right but this is a backwards way to minimize traffic. On the bright side if you're a saver and one who can invest or enjoy the benefits/fruits of starting your own business ... the taxes in Singapore are very pro-job /pro-business. Earnings per capita in Singapore are also…
I went to Singapore for work a few years ago. I sat down for a beer at a German brewpub type of place after 23 hours in the air and was stunned by the $16 pricetag.
You have to love how the military procures its equipment. They could have saved a billion by buying a bunch of Wranglers painted OD green or tan, but instead they contracted this out to a bloated aerospace company that has little to no real experience developing land vehicles just to end up with a vehicle that does…
So, let's take a vehicle that, on paper, looked incredible and yet in reality suffered from paralyzing issues (such as lack of useful cargo space; also, control problems and very limited fuel mileage), and try to justify its existence by creating an accessory for it, that nobody asked for, and that could be handled…
Drassanes Station looks to me like it would have fit well into 2001 : ASO.
Most places discussed here, you know are scary. But here is one people may not even realize the danger.
The night "The Blair Witch Project" had its mass release, when everyone was still unsure if it was real, we saw the 12:15am showing. We got out of the theater at about 1:45am and proceeded to take back roads home. On a particularly windy/narrow one a friend blew 2 tires on the right side of his Jeep when he hit a…
Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. I've seen many accidents on this bridge over the year but one in particular has stuck in my mind and makes me terrified of having any accident short of a 5mph fender bender on its span.
Anywhere on a motorcycle.
Not only is there the strong possibility of being stranded if off the beaten path, but you're far less likely to be seen by passing motorists if injured laying in the ditch. Not to mention the pitfalls of a multi-vehicle incident involving a motorcycle. Makes me cringe....
Bolivia's Yungas Road. Even Foley's awesome cage won't save you if you go over here. Oh and trucks! Lot's and lots of trucks driven by coca-chomping maniacs.
OMEN!! Ever since I was a little kid, i've had a reoccurring dream where im 27 years old and driving to either Galveston or South Padre Island TX. Right before I reach the big bridge, I get a flat tire or some type of catastrophic front end failure which causes my car to veer to the right and straight into to deep…
Here:
well i do remember a specific stretch of road on fröya norway that i used to drive every day to work that i once had a close call frontal colision with a SUV now the issue wasn't the 2 ton truck i almost ran into the issue is that on the inside of the road there is a sheer rock cliff face and on the outside its a 10…
My buddy went to medical school in India, rode a motorcycle the whole time there. I have no idea how he did not die.
I don't usually like "future cars" in movies/shows but I remember liking the motorcycle from Star Trek (09) for some reason.
Cost is an illusion caused by the mental illness of capitalism, and with that in place, it would be impossible.
You forgot to mention the R&D costs. The Enterprise is Starfleet's flagship. The cost of developing the tech that goes into the Enterprise is a major factor.
