I am a banana.

I had the rear wheel of my bicycle suddenly stop turning while going down a not-very-steep hill not very fast, and that was bad enough. I can’t imagine this.

“Say it out loud,” eh?

Everything I need to know about the De Dion-Bouton I learned from the instruction manual:

The image choice for #9 is wonderful.

I’m curious... in a small plane, instead of crabbing all the way to the ground and then straightening out at the last minute, you can carry some bank the whole time and touch down on the upwind gear first. Can large airplanes not do the same? Perhaps not, to be sure the upwind wing doesn’t hit the ground?

Caution wake turbulence.

For those who are talking about how it would be better to have an RV so you could have a kitchen/bathroom/whatever: Guess what? If you’re a single guy working at Google, the only benefit of having any of that stuff would be if you really like having to clean your own kitchen/bathroom/etc.

Actually, there are quite a few RVs parked around the campus. There used to be a bunch on Shorebird, but they just redid the bike lanes and now they’re gone... I’m sure they’re still close by, though.

HE HAS A SEAGULL NO HE DOESN’T IT’S HIS NOSE!

I learned the correct way to do this from James May in the cheap Porsche challenge: with... A man.

My co-worker just sold a twin-turbo supra on monday for $35k. He was paid in cash, and apparently mostly twenties. He came in with a plastic bag with about a cubic foot of bills in it... I’m sad I didn’t get a picture.

For some reason I read “Tesla” as “Texas,” and was confused on multiple levels at once...

As others have said, this doesn’t look unusual. In fact, all you have to do is watch any of my landings, and you’ll see a big bounce and then a shimmying nosewheel.... :-/

I came here to say this. My wife drives a Mazda5 (with a manual transmission... AFAIK the Mazda5 is the only minivan to have one, in the US at least), and EVERY DAMN DAY I have to hear about how she wants to get a Sienna.

Could be worse...

Alternatively, you could live in any other city in the US where there is crappy/no public transportation...

To be pedantic (sorry) those would actually be normal buttresses, not flying.

Russia has GLONASS, which is (as I understand it) basically the same as GPS.

Jet-sustained glider, since the jet hides inside and then looks like an evil laser cannon or something when it deploys.
