Congratulations! It was kind of sad reading your last "I had it but then I lost it" article.

Don't take this the wrong way but what's your basis for comparison?

According to Wikipedia, a Robinson R44 is roughly $425,000 new, which makes it cheaper than a Rolls Royce Phantom.

It's also one of the few industries that the good ol' US of A has a very strong lead and is still largely "mostly made in America." So I'd say it drives jobs in the US but maybe not everywhere.

I feel like I can guess which articles posted to the Gizmodo Facebook page are front page Giz vs Sploid just by the headline.

Came to post the same thing.

Not sure if anyone has said it yet but one more caveat to email is if you have a lot of text or multiple pictures, email is the best choice.

You wouldn't be able to get a single crystal from this method. Single crystal casting uses a seed to "grow" the piece where essentially the liquid solidifies from a single point and solidifies toward the end of the part. There is a very high scrap rate for the single crystal method making it very expensive.

Another great case for asteroid mining...

Haha, my oven is gas but I'm sure I could do this on a charcoal grill or wood burning fireplace ;) Although I majorly fucked up some pork this weekend with charcoal.

If it cuts down on the number of awful dealership ads that somehow think yelling at me sells cars, I'm all for it.

"I'm not looking to shame people, but to shine a light on projects that really screwed the pooch,"

I have a fix, it's called learning to cook. I have no reason, ever, to eat kraft macaroni and cheese.

Oh god, those people...

The Ridgeline makes slightly worse mileage than the F-150 with the EcoBoost and the Silverado with the 5.3L however it's slightly better than the F-150 with the 5.0L. All 2014 models, all with 4WD. I'd say it's a wash.

+1 this is exactly what the Ridgeline is designed for and used for. People use their trucks as trucks for maybe 1% of the time they own them.

Reminds me of this. And I'm so glad I'm not the only one that thinks the Veyron is ugly.

The current generation of bikes use the Twin Cam 96 which was developed from the Twin Cam 88. The Twin Cam 88 started production in 1999 and was intended to replace the larger displacement Evolution engines. The Evolution is what the Sportster still uses in 883cc and 1200cc displacements. There are several differences…

Your stuff looks awesome. What software do you use?
