Take and hold territory? To what ends? Give it back to Iraq and Syria? They weren’t strong enough to hold it in the first place. How long will the occupation last this time? How many new terrorists will that create? How long will Americans tolerate daily casualty reports and the inevitable horror scenes of war before…

All that was spoiled for you from this headline is that Rosberg (probably) didn’t finish. If that’s enough to spoil your enjoyment of an entire race, then I question your fandom. And that’s leaving aside the absurdity of asking an auto racing blogger not to blog about auto racing news when there’s auto racing news to…

Who is advocating for that? Nobody. I’m not arguing for unilateral nuclear disarmament. I’m just calling out an absurd, nonsensical justification for cutting a multibillion dollar check for defense contractors. How many warheads do you think it takes to maintain a nuclear deterrent? Because we have thousands.…

“It would be at least one way to help with what is a growing possibility of a nuclear deterrent shortfall”

Sounds awesome.

Both of these are saves.

I was going to say that if 12C’s are going for $120,000 then there’s not much reason to consider a Porsche Turbo unless you’re a Porsche guy. Then I thought about getting it worked on. Who would even touch the thing?

As someone's who's played a fair amount of Mario 64 at a fairly low skill level, these videos make me physically ill. He is ON THE EDGE the entire time, going SO FAST. Even though I know he's not going to fall, my heart is in my throat as if I was the one whose Mario was a pixel from death.

Yes, heaven forfend someone eat foods and drink beverages that are prepared how they like them.

So, lemme get this straight. The F-35 can't fit ALL the SDBIIs that it's supposed to carry, so they're saying it can't carry ANY, until it can carry ALL of them? Do I have that right?

Hatchback has 2 doors, wagon has 4, no? At least that's how I always thought of it...

I learned to drive stick on my dad's "bondo sled" B-GT. Launched it like 12 times all shuddery before he noticed the parking brake was on. Even with the parking brake off there was like 3 inches of grey area clutch takeup.

Except that says "turdo".

So... why can't their F1 team win anymore?

Yeah, but that's only because A-Rod is a horrible person. I don't think it's incumbent on a superstar athlete to walk up to someone wearing their jersey and be like "Hey! It's me!" If I were the t-shirt guy, I'd still think this was extremely cool.

Well, IIRC he was in the Jordan for just one race, his first, and qualified 6th I think? So not bad on that count either...

Nope, he's Dutch.

The late 90s Jordan F1 cars, like this from H-H Frentzen's unlikely title challenge in 1998, were awesomely yellow with an awesome hornet on the nose. Yellow is a great race car color that isn't used nearly enough. And the hornet was perfect for those buzz saw V-10s.

Looking at the speedo, if it's stock (and it looks like it is), he's doing about 80-90 mph for that insane jump near the end… but the extreme narrowness of the road make it look like about 215.
