I intentionally ran Cat-5E to my gaming PC, despite being right next to the router. Why? It communicates at a much higher rate than wi-fi.

Ah, so that’s the origin of the ‘Oh Snap!’ .gif.

Protip: when your Tesla is at the top of a hill fill the trunks with the heaviest rocks you can find and unload them at the bottom for a free charge.

This is why it is pointless to lose your temper while driving. If you feel yourself getting frustrated, take a minute and a few deep breaths, and do it again properly. And if you still can’t do it, call it undoable and go do something else.

So, unfortunately, much of America is set up so that there aren’t stores within walking distance or biking distance, and ‘nuff said about the lack of decent public transportation. Reducing food waste is awesome, but reducing burning fossil fuels is awesome, too, so for the folks in a situation where driving is…

Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. The NRA should simply tell the secret service to ban people, not guns, from the hall. Problem solved.

I get better MPGs in my truck all the time by letting the truck slow down going uphill and romping down the downhill to let gravity make up the speed.  You absolutely can optimize the way you drive for better mileage if you don't mind annoying the hell out of any poor bastard stuck behind you. Just stay out of the…

On behalf of all Kinja, let me thank you for not putting this in a slideshow or a video.

Yes this exactly. This was covered in a Top Gear years back where Clarkson was going from London to Edinburgh and back (800 miles) on a single tank in a diesel Audi A8. Cruise control is designed to keep you at one speed regardless of context. To get the best out of your fuel you want to let your car gain free speed…

The speed of sound varies with the square root of the absolute temperature for perfect gasses. Nitrogen is pretty close. The temperature drops off nearly linearly from sea level to around 33,000 feet, to about -56°C from 19°C (per the International Standard Model) so the ratio of the speed of sound is…

So would be Air Canada

Tell me you didn’t watch the piece without telling me you didn’t watch the piece.

Republican: “You know what I wish I could say?”

Grift all you want, put the boot down on poors/brown people all you want, but by God, you’d better not yap about the coke/orgies, that’s the One Rule.

Boy, they don’t mess around in the GOP when they excommunicate you do they?

I work in editorial for a living and I think grammar blogs should be illegal. Who could possibly care?

Best one in the Gran Turismo series is “Moon Over the Castle (Orienta-Rhythm Banquet Mix)“ from GT3: A-Spec.

When they say used, they mean a Volvo square back with a couple hundred thousand on the odo. 

I feel like a huge part of the problem are those 178 rail crossings over just 66.5 miles. That’s a rail crossing every 1,973 feet (601 meters) compared to one every 9,916 feet (3,022 meters) for CalTrain. That’s more than five times the number of railway crossings per unit distance, which is just another way of saying…
