I really hope it wouldn’t pass tech as it sits. That car has zero side impact protection.

“given that the police and military perform similar functions in our modern age.” Do you seriously not see the problem with that?

And a lot of people are being told ‘Thanks, but no thanks’ today. But the fact that you can take the ASVAB an unlimited number of times, and when we’re at war the standards basically drop to nothing, means that there are a lot of idiots in the military at any given time. I’d guess that there’s a higher proportion of…

Maybe more black people should try, like, not being criminals. And if you are going to be a criminal, maybe you should be prepared for and okay with being arrested.

Businesses don’t typically have militaries? Just a guess.

Because a volunteer military isn’t full of idiots? You do realize that a huge number of people who enlist, whether they’re right or wrong, do it because they feel they have no other options.

Petty should have an asterisk next to all of his records because when he was racing he was pretty much the only guy with a dedicated race car every weekend when all the other guys were driving their car to the track every weekend. It costs money to win and Petty was spending loads more of it than everyone else at the…

Public record is public record. I suppose releasing mug shots is bad because of innocent until proven guilty too, right? Because I seem to recall Jalopnik posting mug shots of people yet to be convicted quite a few times.

Ethical hacking isn’t illegal, and companies pay huge money for people to hack their stuff.

You do realize that a bored teenager could write a script to drain the battery of every Leaf connected to this system, right? Security through obscurity only applies for systems that can’t be exploited in batches. And even then, having zero security is negligent just because it’s so easy to implement a decent level of…

Okay, that point is when more people are killed or seriously injured by the airbags than are saved by them. That seems like an easy question. that point will almost definitely never come.

No, it would not be safer. The airbags have been responsible for like 10 deaths so far. Weighed against the countless lives that have been saved by Takata airbags, it’s not even a question whether it’s safer to disable your airbag. 23 million and counting cars affected and ten deaths. I refuse to believe that’s a…

uhhh never. is that a serious question?

It’s not normally such a drag race to the finish is the point there

Rear wings are great until the cars get turned around and the wing creates lift instead of downforce.

That is not a ‘he nearly died’ crash at all. I don’t consider myself an expert in racing fatalities, but I’m not aware of anyone who has ever died in a crash like that. Not only that, but several drivers across the top three series are involved in crashes like that every season. It turns out tumbling around like that…

They’re not denying it because they’re crazy and unreasonable. They’re denying it because they know they can make money off of stupid people believing them when they deny it.

Right, because the same exact thing couldn’t be said about any other racing series with just a change of the amount of time...

In fact, even the attendees, some of which have conflicting claims on portions of the South China Sea, a body of water that is rich in fish stocks, energy and is a major shipping artery, made little progress in working out their own disputes.

Once a girl turns around 16-17 she’s at the best time in her life to make babies. It’s only natural to be the most physically attracted to that.

Creepy would be a grown man hitting on a 16-17 year old. Acknowledging the fact that a 16-17 year old girl is physically attractive is not creepy.
