Spoken like a truly intelligent, and educated person ;)

Your comment doesn’t make much sense in the context of what is attempting to be accomplished here. The goal isn’t to ban cars trying to go from 14th Street, to... your grandparent’s house 45 minutes outside the city. The goal is to ban cars trying to go from 14th street to... further down on 14th street.

It’s…

Seriously... isn't this a tech blog? How do you mess up basic facts this badly? Lol.

Ahhh, well then it sounds like in her case it would definitely count. I missed that when reading this post. That bodes well for her record!

Now, what if she (or anyone else) crashed on their second run after attaining max speed? Would you still think it counted, or would that be “cheating” so to speak?

I respect the hell out of Jessi Combs, I think she was an amazing woman, I hold nothing against her whatsoever, and I think she totally deserves that record. I just want to say that up front so that I can ask this question without people, hopefully, immediately jumping down my throat. I’m only asking because I’m not pe…

60-foot articulated buses. They are a lot of fun to drive, and also very weird. Oddly silent because the engine is ALLL the way at the back. There is also a strange rubber-band effect when you accelerate due to it being REAR wheel drive, with an articulated joint in the middle.

Fun fact: 60-foot articulated buses can…

Not sure what you mean by power adders not resolving the torque dip. You can eliminate the torque dip with JUST a header and tune. Hell, just a tune alone can more or less eliminate it as well. It’s not an engine characteristic so much as a shitty tuning decision meant to give the car good mileage (which is dumb.) My…

It took me a moment to out my finger on it, but I think I know WHY it’s so appealing. It’s for the same reason I like my off-center license plate. When these things are centered, they add symmetry, which is nice, but they also tend to look more like a part of the car. This is truer for license plates than for badges,…

I've never even heard of a Category 5 shitstorm before!

So you’re saying Bugatti thinks the Chiron could actually have gone 620 MPH?

You’ve lost me. This costs many, MANY tens of thousands more, and has less range. Is it better? Probably... but for the price difference, it had damned well better be...

I don’t believe banning them is the solution. They are genuinely useful devices. My girlfriend and I each purchased our own after just one day using the rideshare ones.

No. The problem is that ride-sharing has very quickly made it very easy for people who have no idea what they’re doing to simply hop on a scooter and…

Is there a version of the video somewhere that isn’t edited by a complete muppet?

That’s not the argument. Of course it’s terrible on-road. The whole concept behind the Jeep is that you live with the terribleness on-road so that you can have a good experience off-road. And before you say, “Well the other two are good on road, remember that the other two cost a LOT more, and that money pays for…

Why were you expecting to “get it” when you never planned to take it off road? That’s like attempting to “get” a Subaru BRZ by commuting to work on the highway in one, or like trying to “get” a Minivan by just driving around for an hour without an entire family in the back. Your test makes zero sense.

That’s because BMWs don’t speed; they just weave in and out of traffic like fucking assholes.

Just received my OnePlus 7 Pro two days ago, and while I absolutely love the device, I was just the tiniest bit worried that I’d be a bit jealous of what the Note 10 might be. Yeah, not anymore.

I just bought the top-specced OnePlus 7 Pro for, $750. As someone whose previous four phones were the Note, Note 3, S7 Edge, and S9+, I’m having a REALLY hard time figuring out how Samsung manages to make their devices so much more expensive. I’m not saying the OnePlus 7 Pro is perfect, or that it matches the new Note…

Looks like propulsion via sunlight has a bright future!

Let’s keep quieting down those cars, while continuing to allow all these Harley assholes to deafen everyone withing a 5-mile-radius all in the name of “safety.”
