Hard to reconcile the complete destruction of the vehicle with ‘man was treated for minor injuries’. That aside, dude is an automatic nominee for Darwin Award.

I have it on my desk at work with a small battery so I can change music/volume while working without having to pull my phone out. It’s not super important, but it helps me from getting distracted on my phone.

Alright, I don’t want to give too much else away. You should really head over to the Wall Street Journal for more eyewitness accounts of what happened on Singapore Airlines flight 321 as well as a slew of pictures from onboard the plane. It’s truly scary stuff.

They can start by wearing their fucking seatbelts. How many more of these incidents are we going to have before people start to understand the importance of being buckled up when seated? There were 71 injuries resulting from this incident; a whole lot of them serious spinal injuries. There weren't 71 people looking to…

Regardless of the specific need for this thing, it’s a terrible move to simply brick something like this rather than opening it up for the community who did buy it to repurpose the device, especially since Spotify still exist as a company. (e.g. I can imagine that if they had gone bankrupt that there may not be…

Fortunately for people, there are no recorded orca attacks in the wild, just the ones in captivity. Orcas have very consistent diets and habits that get passed down generationally in the pod and it appears no pod has ever cared about humans (yet). That intelligence, specific diet, and likely rare interactions with…

Getting near an orca and it’s calf? How is this guy still even alive? 

We can’t add more comprehensive driver education

The study is at

This is why parents should have been teaching their kids to look both ways rather than hear both ways before crossing the street.

Oh wait.

just make them compulsory. no exemptions. make it if you want to ride, you need a license AND a helmet. 

American’s conflate stupid choices with masculinity and safety being anti-masculine. One suggestion would be no healthcare, no state covered medical expenses help. If you are injured while motorcycling without a helmet, you cover all your medical costs out of pocket not the tax payers or others on your health…

Once upon a time I was an intern for the Sonics. I can’t remember the exact event, but one night every guest got a free miniature American flag upon entrance. Our jobs, as interns, was removing all of the little gold Made In China stickers from some 10,000+ flags.

It’s actually more difficult stay at constant ‘alert for sudden takeover’ status than it is to just drive.

There is plenty of fault to go around here. You can’t call something “Full Self-Driving” that can’t see flashing crossing lights and a damned TRAIN across the road. And the driver is a complete and utter moron for not immediately taking control. My guess is that they were not really paying attention, because for dammed…

The effects of turbo lag make the engine less responsive to user inputs. What they measured was essentially the time from pressing the accelerator to the engine actually providing power as you mentioned. I would call that ‘responsiveness’, it’s how quickly the car responds to you demanding acceleration.

What they…

Rehashing old C&D and CR articles.

The Veyron is a very nice somebody else’s car, and I would love to meet and greet one from a reasonable distance one day. 

He genuinely doesn’t seem like a bad person or anything - it just sounds like he thought it looked neat so he bought one. I disagree with him, but I feel for him a little bit. Having people fuck with your car is always gross and awful.

funny, the charger looks “ehh” to me.  not bad, just not great.  the look of the N ionq looks unique and good.  I prefer hatchbacks and fastback designs.
