In the heyday of Gizmodo commenting (pre-kinja and when stars really meant something) OMG!PONIES! was king amongst the intelligent assholery across the gawker kingdom. THOSE WERE THE DAYS, EH COMRADE?

Fucking oceanside.

Bro, if you think Vortex gets silly, you should check out a watch forum.

Actually, listening real hard, it sounds like only the drums and the synth “ahs” in Starboy are samples. The keys and some guitar noodling throughout are probably the Roots. The key patches aren’t exactly the same as the album, they don’t line up neatly with the drums throughout and the whole performance is a little…

I really want that shirt.

Real talk, is this only a real-time stream or will they be banked as they go? I’m at work at that time, damnit.

Are those swingarms extended or am I imagining it? If so, for stability at the max drift angle?

This kind of explains how they get fwd cars to do donuts...

If you had a heart, could feel and were 17 in 2003 you were deeply aware of this cover.

So I’ve been following a bunch of pro cyclocross riders on Instagram for a little while, and the sheer number of bikes/spare parts that these people bring with them is INSANE. Because they all run tubular tires that get glued to the wheels and insanely low pressure, it’s easier to just swap bikes when you get a…

Weird esoteric note: the stock music you used in this vid is the SAME EXACT track as the intro bumper for the Bowery Boys podcast. Weird.

Think I could enter this? Sidenote: a guy named Jake WOULD own this.

Can I ask a question? Do none of the automakers have economists on staff? How are they constantly surprised by fluctuating markets?

I think the biggest problem is Austin’s rising cost. The thing that stopped me from traveling from NYC to AUS this year was the $500-$800/night hotel rooms. Even if you split it like, 4 ways (and really, I’m 30-fucking-years-old, I’m tired of traveling that way), that’s a really expensive weekend.

Does it make an insane difference in weight distribution? Like, I’d imagine it does, but is that corrected with ballast or something? For a drift car I’d think you want either 50/50 or something front biased to give the rear something swing around, right?

The video notes that it got an AWD - RWD conversion. Which also sounds like a handful, if we’re honest.

Someone looks chilly.

Can confirm: almost get hit by diplomat shuttles whenever I ride by the UN on my way home from work.

Are we still doing COTD? Because it’s early, but this is COTD.

So it was the base salary that decreased, not the way raises work and such. On the one hand, it makes sense to keep a company solvent. On the other hand, sucks to be the guy hired like, the day after that went into effect.
