On a side note, the distance traveled by the Tesla Roadster IN SPAAAAAAACE is not legitimate. If you’re going to calculate mileage it hasn’t generated under its own power, then it will never catch up to the oldest surviving car on the planet, which has also been not only orbiting the sun but rotating on a pole axis…

There is so much kissing up in this ridiculous article, Elon Musk absolutely has to be sitting in a spittle puddle by now.

I seem to only go to exceptions. Most of the places I’ve lived in the last 25 years did not want caps. Where I live now doesn’t want caps... AND I see a link to that “recycle styrofoam” story... yeah, that’s on the ‘do not recycle’ list for my town. And the grocery store bags, well, out waste disposal company changes…

“as impressive as this snow plowing effort looks to out-of-staters like me—in Minnesota, it’s apparently not uncommon”

LOL. People are overlooking a very basic problem. Tesla works very hard at attempting to fool the public into believing Tesla involved accidents are an urban myth. And clearly documenting safety features or obviously labeling emergency releases do not fit into the “accidents are urban myths” narrative. Hell, look at…

Seriously? Several former military bases in the area, including a former navy airfield along the bayside in Oakland, and the bridge is where you decide to do this nonsense stunt? You need a place for this, just watch a half dozen episodes of Mythbusters to get locations to scout out.

Putting drunken decisions aside, stuff happens unexpectedly. Parts get old and fail. About a month ago, I slammed on the brakes in my car hard enough to make the quarter century old brake rotor shatter. The system dumped the better part of 3 quarts of brake fluid on the roadway and all I had for a clue was a brief…

No, I have it right. It was the franchise owner’s decision to put the pay scale on “waitress rates”. Had this been a corporate decision, we’d be hearing about hundreds of locations doing the same thing at the same time. Even if it was an experiment on the corporate level, it would have involved quite a bit more than a…

I know exactly how this happened. A corporate location became a franchise location. And the franchise owner had no clue what he was doing since there were obvious violations of the law regarding minimum wage. That’s what happens when you sleep through the mandatory franchisee training most corporations provide.

Dude... the word you want is “taunt”, not “Tauntaun.”

Crock pot.... season? Haven’t you learned yet that with a decent extension cord (like one of those orange contractor ones) or an outside power receptacle, you can use the crock pot outdoors, making it crock pot year instead of crock pot season? This is the true wonder of electrical kitchen appliances - they can all be…

Interesting how the... “central airflow splitter” bears a striking resemblance to a range of wifi antennae.

You know what I’d like to see just once? Whatever the hell they use to practice these stunts, because we all know that aside from minor test driving by the repair crew, the show trucks aren’t driven anywhere but the show.

One of those spray on, “hey this stuff is bombproof!” truck bed liner companies really needs to come up with a “vinyl look” formulation to replace this vinyl/landau technology.

LOL. At one point you asked why expensive cars didn’t use glass when price was essentially not an issue. The answer comes in the form of a very similar money related word. It wasn’t price that was the issue but profit. Why shell out an extra $400 for glass when you can use vinyl instead and put that money in your…

This quietly points out the problem with these skateboards. The concept doesn’t go anywhere near as far as it could when your drive train is wiring plus a handful of modular components. I have yet to see a skateboard designed with an adjustable wheelbase in mind, so a much wider variety of bodies could be attached.

According to your post, every used car dealer and many, many auction houses in the country are technically committing a crime.

A food truck in Philadelphia exploded back in 2014 for the exact same reason - faulty propane tank. U-Haul was found to be at fault for the defective propane tank to the tune of $160 million after the explosion killed the mother and daughter working the truck and injured numerous bystanders.

I’m just disappointed my Honda is too old and not styled properly to make dicky snow angels.

If the banks can’t keep you from being scammed via plots worked through them, why would you think for an instant you can protect yourself better than the millions of dollars they throw at trying to do so?
