ITT: A bunch of people with no concept just how enormous the Indian Ocean really is.

I think the difference is more like "something everyone can do/something only coordinated, in-shape people can do" versus "possible for a human/impossible"

Now playing

The human nervous system is set up pretty well for the task of balancing upright on two feet. I would imagine that even rocket boots with zero computing power would be workable - maybe somewhere on the difficulty scale between learning to walk on drywall stilts and barefoot water skiing.

Like I said in the article, the best way to describe it is like playing Grand Turismo in automatic mode. You never have to think about gear selection - it's just in the right gear, all the time. It's almost like a cheat code for real life.

Autojunkie, I have driven the 8 speed, and I bet that most people who had a chance to drive it on a road course back to back with the manual would still choose the new automatic. It's just never in the wrong gear, unless you are intentionally trying to trick it.

The correct terminology isn't "male/female" - It's "top/bottom"

"Blues Angels"? Come on, Tyler. You're better than that... At LEAST proof the headline before you post.

The ambulance doesn't have a coin box up front that you have to put your money into before they'll take you to the ER, you know. Just do what pretty much everyone without health insurance does - use the services that must, by law, be provided to you without you having to demonstrate any ability to pay for them, then

Just let the police do what they want - if you question their borderline illegal activities, you just single yourself out for "special attention." Work only through the system, because the system is designed to Take Your Concerns Seriously, not protect the status quo!

"Oh my God, what moron did this?," asked the man watching the vertical video.

and it can be yours for only $1.2 million dollars.

Yah, just a tasteless joke.

Wait, ambiguous - Supermarket where pets can be purchased, or supermarket where things for pets can be purchased, or both?

Better check to see if your glass house homeowner's policy covers broken windows before you start tossing around criticism of other sites' "clumsy errors"... Does anything that makes it on Jalopnik get even a once-over copy edit before it's posted?

Unfortunately, there is a very inexpensive countermeasure to this technology widely available, called a "mirror." While not a perfect foil, polishing the surface of an air-to-air missile to a reflective finish will greatly increase the amount of engagement time required to deliver enough energy for a kill.

It's right there in the name, Henry. Front. Mid. Engine.

Why would anyone buy a Wrangler that you can barley off road with?

...I frequently get comments asking why the manufactures...

The C7 Corvette, just like the C6 and C5, is ALREADY MID ENGINED. I don't want to have to tell you this again.

When I am running things, there will be a simulated overhead bin at the ticket counter/kiosk. You will be required to show that you can lift your bag into the bin without assistance. If you can't, it gets checked.
