It’s not a zero sum proposition. Solar is just a part of the energy mix, and it makes great sense locally (not so much for powering industry and the like).

No one uses flippin’ bar ends anymore.

Im surprised bikes are even legal. They are not safe, and shouldn’t be legal. Their self righteousness comes from knowing that.

Fun story... long before Craigslist was a thing I listed my Honda Prelude Si on CArs.com, Autotrader etc...I would get these bonkers offers from “international buyers” who wanted to pay more than my asking price so that I could cash the check and send them the overage. Of course this smelled like a scam a mile away.…

TL;DR: “Because Freedom.”

Where can I get them?

Not entirely true. Some brands (ahem, HP) put a chip in the cartridge that interacts with the printer. That way even if you try to refill the cartridge you still get a “low ink” message and the printer will refuse to print.

I agree with you for the most part, but actually, pink was at one point considered a masculine color. It wasn’t until the mid 1900s that western style really settled on pink for girls and blue for boys. The baby boomers were the first generation in America to grow up firmly in the belief that blue was for boys and…

My girlfriend thinks it’s sexy when I open her beer with my wedding ring.

Somebody give this guys number to Channing Tatum.

Wrong. A worn plug will have high resistance between the electrode and ground strap and you will get a weak spark, which will indeed cause a loss in performance. A spark isn't an on/off switch, it's a heat source. Produce more heat, get a larger explosion. Get a larger explosion, and you get more power. The…

I am a working cook, as well as an instructor at a culinary school in Canada. I regularly reference BCO in class, trying to prepare my students for the unbelievable fuck-wittery waiting for them out in the 'real' world. These poor kids have no idea what awaits them...

More than half of Americans have no idea what:

Euros
Pounds
Shekels
Dinars
Rupees
Yen
Yuan
Francs
or Rubles are

Fair review. For that market, where the shipping container either affects perceived value or is destined to be opened by a handicapped person, it very well may score a 7/10 or higher. But for my business (and I'd wager, 99% of other businesses who would rather spend the saved money on the actual product packaging than…

This is retarded. You can do all this on your phone and use the car system as a monitor/touch screen. To allow you to use such software on a major OEM head unit that was a discrete system instead of a ts monitor would be to invite lots of clustefu**s when the buggy initial versions of CM came out and your dumbass…

That's pretty cool. I believe the preferred nomenclature is casing for that piece of brass, though. The projectile is the bullet.

Im a designer for a middle sized city police department. I couldnt possibly hope to do every slideshow but let me tell you I cringe knowing I might be blamed for what goes out there

Tell your friends. Seriously. Please tell your friends. The more people read this kind of stuff, the more we can do it.

YEA, OLD JALOPNIK IS BACK!
