Anyone interested in obscure old oddities should look up Roy Glashan’s Library. He specializes in rescuing lost Australian authors whose work appeared in magazine and newspaper serials, as well as better known thriller writers like Edgar Wallace and E. Phillips Oppenheim. I especially recommend the Madame Storey…

I both love and hate LA. I really doubt I’m alone with these feelings

Joule thief!

If you think it's bad that Amazon warehouse employees don't have time to pee, just imagine living in an off-world colony where Bezos owns the air.

This.  You’d be surprised how bright you need a room to be, when taking pictures this fast.  Dark crash test videos are useless.  This whole thing is happening in less than 50 milliseconds.

It doesn’t take much to trick someone from Arkansas. I used to sell Cheerios there as donut seeds. 

Which automakers advertised these replacing normal driver actions aside from Tesla?

From the very moment automakers started implementing this “autonomous” tech into mainstream vehicles, it was a fallacy. Because they marketed it as a replacement for healthy driving habits everyone should have, such as physically turning your head when changing lanes, turning or backing up, checking your mirrors, be…

I went to a dozen different onsens/bath houses in Japan, all over the country, and never had a problem getting in with my tattoo. Japanese people understand that foreigners have tattoos, and that they’re not affiliated with the Yakuza. This is a dumb article Ashcraft... If you’d spent any time in Japan, you’d know…

or skip the poor decision of getting one.

Holy shit. I know the big C comes down hard on some people. But I really expected a few more months out of him. Not really a fan, but I guess I expected him to be around a bit longer. RIP John Bain.

I hope his family and friends are coping with their lost as best they can.

Little girl: What was the apex of civilization like daddy?

This. There is so much shady bullshit going on with the property management, I don’t even know where to begin. I hope she wins her suit.

I’d like to say it was something innocent like “landlord looking to make sure there’s no signs of termites or mold or whatever” but this is the real world and it’s never something innocent like actually doing the job of a landlord.

No no, you have it all backwards. The bits that make the car drive are really good, the body... not so much. Therefore, it’s a perfect candidate for an inverse LS swap... put a Camero body on the Model 3 skateboard.

I smell LS swap.

Nobody is abusing these. They’re consumer grade garbage that some shitbag is littering the streets with in order to justify the $300 million he stole from investors. This is the equivalent of getting mad that the scooter you bought from Walmart and left outside for two weeks doesn’t work so hot.

When people started using trucks more to haul people than to haul stuff.

Is this really a life problem that needs to be “hacked”? It never occurred to me that anyone would need written advice on how to fuck, as if there are these poor horny uncoordinated couples walking among us. Fill orifices with appendages. Repeat. It’s not even apple sauce let alone rocket science.

Thank you very much for doing this story. I saw on Airliners that they were reactivating this one to replace a damaged out one. But the process to bring something back to life is awesome. Also goes to show how fast (relatively speaking) we could bulk up our numbers in a time of war.
