Becoming dependent on a vehicle (ie, need to drive to get anywhere because public transit sucks) and then something sidelining that vehicle which can cause absolute chaos to your life.

Ya, and in our late-stage capitalism hell hole, this guy had to go to work one month after having twins.

I also significantly prefer the look of the Charger to the Challenger after the 2011 facelift and *especially* after the 2015 refresh.

Get the fuck outta here with “invested in pretty secure-return stuff like multifamily residential property”.

I think if it’s a shorter stint and there’s less crap on the tear off they’ll clean it and leave it. I’d guess since the rest of the pit stop is longer and it allows them to save tear offs if they actually need it.

My guess: in the strive for StOnKs MuSt Go Up everything is getting thinned out - maintenance crews, support crews, staff, (ATC to an extent but that’s more manufactured government dysfunction)...etc. Everything that makes the system work smoothly has been slowly chipped away to make more money and we’re really…

Idk, Geico is really ramping up their efforts to not cover people. You can find reports of it online and I ran into a similar issue.

The Golden Gate Bridge could have used some of that wind tunnel testing before they turned it into an extremely loud, low frequency harmonica when they replaced the railings.

One thing that gets lost in the sauce is he didn’t form Tesla. Tesla existed for a few years but in his typical egomaniacal fashion he demanded to be considered a founder when he purchased it.

There is basically zero trade-off in performance between sedans and their hatchback equivalents. CUVs: yes, but not hatches

I think the game that perfectly encapsulated that experience was Steel Battalion on the OG Xbox

It’s a hint at the next character to be added to Super Smash Bros.

Just wanted to chime in to say this is an awesome article. I wish there was more of this stuff (the article, not assholes screwing people over)

“If you can’t say something nice, do not say anything at all.” immediately after saying something not nice

I understand how purist this idea is, but the problem is this approach ends up driving up the costs so rapidly, as teams try and eek out every last ounce of performance, that the series becomes too expensive for teams to run and it folds.
