Interesting. Maybe the LEDs are more fragile then, or they can’t get the cooling they need. Have you tried the new xenon ones?

Were you in the front seat? If so, that’s why. The comfort is in the back. Get a driver, you pleb.

Uh...wut. Maglites last for decades. I still have my little two AA cell one from when I was 10. Works just fine, other than I’ve had to replace the bulb a couple times. I have a 4 D one too. I imagine the LED units are even more reliable.

Kinja’d 2.0. I stopped caring. Look up the USS Pittsburgh.

Kinja’d.

You have no idea how bad I wish I had known about this event before it had happened. I would have been on this like something on something, because I was out of work all summer. I don’t know if I’ll be able to swing that kind of time off again next year, either.

Presumably so the nosegear didn’t sink into the soft dirt. 

Woosh.

Yeah, this is...a thing. That’s for sure.

Cannot be unseen.

Retired as in destroyed. In a dignified manner, specifically. They’re not being flown on flagpoles, sure, but they’re still being displayed, and if they are being displayed they are supposed to be in good condition.

The flag code says that when the flag is no longer fit for display, it should be destroyed in a dignified manner, generally by burning. While indeed a neat record of the tower’s history, a torn and tattered flag is not considered fit to be displayed. 

While neat, those flags all need to be retired. 

Yeah, you’re comparing multi-million dollar supercars with electronic nannies out the ass and the engine in the back. We’re talking normal people cars. You’re basically comparing apples to tractors.

I don't care how bad the prequels we're and how poorly they portrayed it, but pod racing is fucking cool.

Depends on if you lump the fuel and tire bills into that.

Depends on how the Demon was set up. 840 is a lot of ponies to put down through two wheels, and any European car would have trouble with it too.

Partially. Not really.

That’s good at least. I figured BMW would have done something about it by now, but you never know.
