100% It is amazing, like every crappy BMW driver AND every Prius driver bought Teslas in the last 5 years. It is something about the car that seems to bring out an amazing combo of driving like a maniac and then seconds later pulling into the fast lane and driving 15 mph under the limit, and then flipping on their…

That comment seems more representative of a mismatch in expectations that will severely hurt the Audi brand and piss off the next generation when Audi looks them in the eyes and says “No no no no no no. We just license to you the ability to turn on the hardware YOU own and have to maintain.”

He was apparently a real estate attorney, so he likely made his career out of pushing transactional paperwork.

Unclear from the underlying article that the author based this off of. There are some photos of the helicopter it in the daylight showing damage to the tail (looks like he was coming at it from the rear) but possible they had thrown some white camo net over the top of it as part of the exercise, and that he was…

Careful. You try that in the wrong state and they might try and lock you up.

He probably resigned out of self-interest: if he resigns he doesn’t have to report that he was fired for cause after he moves to Sarasota and applies for a LEO position there.

The grille looks like the bottom half of a Dodge Nitro.

According to the slideshow, it’s worse than that:

MJ’s Hitler Mustache hit it on the head. Having a specific law gives private attorneys trying to combat this practice something to hang their case on that is less nebulous than a “fraud” claim or an “unfair practice.” In California, for example, they have something called the Unfair Competition Law that “borrows” from…

Looking forward to:

Maybe a profile on the owner of A1 towing is in order.

Agreed. I was surprised when the cars came out on the track without just sections of green screen where the sponsors would ultimately go, but digital painting over logos should be pretty easy. It has to be something more, like Mercedes put up the cars and is now denying them access to them so they have to change cars,…

Just wait until you read 36 USC § 305.

I thought “pump switching” was when you park on one side of the pump and then swap the handles and wait for someone else to pull up to the other side and try to start the pump. By the time they figure out why the gas isn’t coming out, you’ve filled up and left.

There’s an efficiency benefit to snout-houses: the attached garage’s common wall is the furthest from the garage’s door, which is where you have the largest temp differential. Square up the house and garage, and you now have a common wall running the length of the living room.

No reason. New Mexico will pay for it.

Similar thing happened to me in Denver about 15 years ago. Temp was over 100F, but the pilot said that we don’t get our place in line until we push back from the gate. While waiting in the departure line, they were on the APU to avoid burning so much fuel waiting that we couldn’t take off without having to return to…

Reading Number 3 gave me the mental image of the heads of fast fashions brands sitting around a table plotting ways to kill Macklemore’s career.

This looks like a low-slung speed boat that is half-sunk more than it looks like a submarine. There’s some photos on the Twitter thread that show the engines, which appear to be standard marine outboard motors - which are air-breathing.
