Good luck with that. Most fast food jobs aren’t worth the current minimum wage.

Actually, I have experience using them professionally, as well as a couple other brands of action cameras, so I know exactly what I’m talking about. We still have, and use, GoPro cameras, and the phone apps you describe, and everybody complains about how much of a pain in the ass they are. The mount and attachment…

Finally, somebody has come up with a “supercar” that sounds worse than a Viper. I thought that day would never come...

Oof. 700 miles at 8 knots = something like 76 hours. Better bring something to read.

Well, Raph, at least he was driving his own car when he hit the wall.

And I bet the wireless communication setup they’re using will be poorly secured. Wait until all the signs say “No Parking - Zombie Apocalypse.” That will be fun.

Frankly, I am shocked that nobody has yet mentioned that the sticker might be white, with gold lettering, or blue, with black lettering...

Man, how hard is it to google an image of the missile in question?

I should totally move to San Bernardino. It must be a crime-free paradise, if they can devote this level of manpower and creativity to busting people not wearing seatbelts (a crime that’s it’s own punishment) and touching their phones when stopped (which I would much rather have than people messing with them while…

Because of their first-mover advantage. There are a lot of terrible products out there that dominate their market despite better things being available, simply because they got there first. GoPro is the Kleenex/Q-tip/Band-Aid of the action cam market. Plus, I doubt most people had a chance to actually use one before…

You know what I would settle for?

There’s a reason we assign them mandatory bedtimes and don’t let them vote (insert your own 2016 Republican primary voter joke here).

Nothing but guys crashing test mules. It would be hard to get manufacturer support, but it would be very popular while it lasted...

Reminds me of when one of Jack Roush’s friends used his Jet Ranger to dry off the dragstrip at Bowling Green. I haven’t met many billionaires, but out of the ones I have, Don Bowles is my favorite. A regular guy who just happens to have the money to do anything he thinks is interesting.

This, exactly. The US aerospace industry is in crisis because it’s basically at the point where there is just enough production available to maintain a viable, trained workforce. Once all the skilled labor and engineers retire, or have to find other jobs, you lose continuity of institutional knowledge and it takes…

Wow... that’s pretty bad! Did any of the planes not crash?

I KNEW before I even clicked on the link that I was going to be enraged by vertical video. I didn’t expect to be double-angry because of a missed money shot.

This has actually been something I’ve talked about since back in 2000-2001 when we had 18 deaths related to street racing in less than a year in San Diego. An accident is something that was unforeseen and unpreventable, and yes, there are some car crashes that are exactly that. But when somebody chooses to engage in…

Here’s a deeper dive into (as you mentioned) the car that’s much more strongly associated with US astronauts: Astronauts and Corvettes: Just Like Mom, Apple Pie, and Rock & Roll

Inevitably someone will make the argument that “more emissive pipes allows exhaust gasses to be cooler, ergo denser, ergo moving out faster for more performance!” But I can’t believe any gain from this is worth discussing.
