I think you’re confusing republicans with libertarians.

I suggest that they put a hex on the Esty policy writers and refuse to lift it until they change said policy.

Read this book. The author used to work in China as an exporter and he said a lot of the knockoffs are made in the same factories as the regular products.

I have never cared for Apple’s software but their hardware is definitely impressive.

What are some of the technical issues with having a rotating spacecraft that simulates artificial gravity? I assume docking with such a craft would be difficult. (It’s hard as hell in KSP anyway.)

This is why the phrase “first world problems” annoys me so much. It seems to happen frequently when discussing, or more accurately: complaining about cars.

Porkboner? Seriously, if I ever get a twitter account, I’m totally following you.

Damn near any automotive exec. The automotive industry isn’t perfect but they have a good reputation for actually getting shit done. Plus they have a real tangible product with real tangible assets, unlike Donald Trump.

Gotta torque stuff. Otherwise you end up with a free-floating brake caliper.

Welcome to Midway. Literally in the middle of a neighborhood.

Actually, I guess there is a difference in the two trucks — look at those wheels! They’resomewhat different! Isuzu seems to offer chromed ones, while Chevy is going for a more restrained painted wheel. There’s the market differentiator you wanted!

God, those Alfa 4Cs are sexy. I think I will be putting a deposit down on one today.

I somewhat disagree with saying that we won’t ever have a moon base strictly because it offers no tactical advantage. There are numerous things that wouldn’t have happened throughout the space race if this were the mentality. If there were the opportunity for it to have a political advantage, it would have a higher…

That show is awesome. I’ve started to work my way through it on Netflix and it’s great.

Who knew that tasteless vehicle mods would bring supportive evidence to mysteries of the universe?

That kind of leads to another comment: I see automation like this being more appealing to factory farms rather than small operations. You get to a point where the tech becomes more accessible and the reliability of the automation controls is better and well understood, then it might appeal to a smaller operation but I…

Well, given that most cars that hit houses were caused by incompetence, I would say it's not on the manufacturer to make sure that they don't fall out of the sky.

Is unplanned downtime in agriculture that common? I’m mostly curious about the logistics of keeping the equipment running. I know the joke is that if a sensor goes down the whole system stops working but if the system has redundant sensors and fault tolerance like aircraft, would that be able to mitigate the…
