What’s important to me is being able to open an article in Jalopnik without a video autoplaying.

It’s always a great idea to give in to people making death threats. That never leads anywhere dangerous. Nope.

I want to say that this is unexpected, but it’s sadly just the end result of where anti-trans politics are headed now, nationwide. Under this president:

Stop capitulating to terrorists, it only encourages them.

When they turn on him it will happen in the blink of an eye. Then they’ll all act like they were against Trump from the beginning.

Not even. There were 1,031,881 casualties in the Civil War. World War 2 slightly edges it out at 1,076,245 with and additional 30,314 still MIA. Don’t get me wrong, the Civil War had a far greater impact on the US since 2.1% of the total population died in the war compared to 0.39% of WW2.

It’s weird that the guy that lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton in 2016 complaining that this is taking away the power of the people and their vote.

The way you describe it, and based on the recommendations to drive it faster you were given, it seems that the difficulties to get it sideways are mostly due to a lot of understeer...

I’ll do you one better. Find any EV with an easily accessible tow hook on the front. Forget the waterwheel and pulleys. Now you just need a horse and a hill. Problem solved.

Not sure what platform / body style would work best to be inconspicuous, but I would definitely go with an EV. Forget the solar panels, or even electricity from the grid, you could use the brake regen to charge the car. All you would need if travelling to the past is a couple belts to make a pulley system around the…

Acts of war are perpetrated by countries, not non-state actor. 9/11 was an act of terrorism, not war.

We were attacked by a paramilitary organization. You can be at war with those. 

 What country attacked us?

The bombing of Pearl Harbor was an opening by the Japanese that had a military to continue to make things worse. The hijackings were a one-and-done; not even the fourth one was a success. The only reason it could even happen was the FAA had come to accept hijackings as a cost of doing business and ignored the multiple…

But a helo isn’t really a fan spinning above the vehicle. That would imply that the fan is pushing the helo up into the air. In reality, the helicopter uses the same bernoulli principle to provide lift. Since the top form of the wing is longer than the bottom, the air rushes by faster, creating lift. But while the…

Dear Secretary DeVos,

I address you now as both an educator, and as a man who lived in West Germany in the years immediately preceding and following the fall of the Berlin Wall (my old man served in the Fulda Gap on two separate tours):

GET. FUCKED.

There are certainly a few strictures in the modern American education…

Same here. People are always shocked at what a lap in my “slow” car feels like...

Can confirm, I get point-by’s from Mustang GT’s all the time. On any technical track, the 86 twins eat up the distance like crazy.

And what you see is the intake, the top of the motor is a few inches even lower.

The first takeaway I had from this photo was “man that engine in the GT86 really is mounted low!”
