On behalf of all Kinja, let me thank you for not putting this in a slideshow or a video.

Great comment, and I’d like to add one more thing that Putin and Hitler failed to account for: American manufacturing

Anyone who wants to have their mind blown, and understand a lot of the context around the Russia-Ukraine war, should spend some time studying the Eastern Front in WWII. There are a ton of great resources out there, but my person favorite is Dan Carlin’s “Ghosts of the Ostfront” series as part of the Hardcore History…

Something on the order of 2800 pitbulls are euthanized A DAY, which comes out to around a million a year. Nobody who has actually cared for a pitbull would call them a dangerous breed. They are incredibly sweet, affectionate dogs. Most any breed can be trained to have a bad temperament, given enough abuse. It’s sad…

See, this is why you need engineers on staff of a car website. And why MAYBE YOU SHOULDN’T IGNORE THEIR INPUT.

Calm down, DT. [Breathes into paper bag, puts ice on swollen right fist].

I still feel like the Renault is king here because it grew wider by ~15% where the Bronco grew by ~13%.

Just to clarify, landfills are anaerobic environments. Methane is a product of organic anaerobic decomposition. Composting is an aerobic process*, which releases carbon dioxide as organic waste breaks down.

Slowly but surely Gary Larson’s prophecies are coming to pass. 

I mean... we kinda have to see the movie first to even start to assess that, right? I’m not the biggest fan of how superhero films have subsumed basically everything in pop culture, in how the dominant form of superhero film is the live-action PG-13 epic, a form that does the least with all the opportunities superhero…

I can’t speak for Toyota facilities, but I have worked for two big players in aerospace. One with a very strong union (in fact it’s the Canadian UAW, Unifor) and one without. Both companies need the exact same talent set in their shops.

Raph’s comment “Maybe they should unionize! Seems like a win-win.”

Sadly, when I think Capybara I also now think BMW,

LIDAR is for pedo guys.

Frankly, it’s remarkable that anybody knows anything at this stage - the fact that, after only a few months of mass vaccination, there has already been a study of the effects of covid vaccination on menstrual flow, and its findings have been disseminated to the media, is pretty impressive, objectively speaking. And,…

Yeah, that joke has been going around a while - they were the Tolkien White Guys

This tends to be my opinion as well. I think that the concept of fairness in a restricted-class sports competition (in this case, women’s sports) relies on a fundamental adherence to the spirit of that restriction.

In a more sane world, everyone would just use the NCAA’s testosterone policy, and then be open to monitoring outcomes over the course of years or even decades as we continue to accrue more observations of trans athletes. This is a topic where I don’t really care about people’s opinions right now. I think the…

I had an escort once in high school. It was my first, and my mom bought her for me. In fact, I was the first of any of my friends. She was a little boxy, but was very sturdy. Not too roomy inside, but I prefer a tight fit.
