That’s a terrible name for a paint color.

Good luck on getting promoted out of the greys.

I’ve been a passenger on the roads in and around Mumbai and it was the most terrifying experience of my life. 

It’s great that something is being done, but I have serious doubts that romaine lettuce is a viable long term substitute for sea grass. I expect a wave of malnutrition caused illness in manatees eating nothing but romaine for very long. It’ll keep some of them from starving for a while but... seems like a bandaid for…

Looking at cars for sale on Craiglist seems to indicate that maybe Carvana is responsible at least in part for the insane used car market prices. It seems they own around half of the cars for sale already.

There are small multirotor aircraft that use four variable pitch props and a single electric motor. They’re capable of the most incredible stunt flying I’ve ever seen. This one has been around almost forever now: https://hackaday.com/2013/12/04/a-collective-pitch-quadcopter/

I recall some YouTube videos of a much…

It’s pretty common for large agricultural multirotor UAV’s to use a small gas electricity generator to get multi-hour flight times. I fail to see how this is a better solution. Hydraulic systems weigh more than electric systems and don’t provide nearly as fine control. This seems more like an exercise in seeing if…

This is a perfect answer to the question “Tell me you’re a giant asshole without saying a word”. Jesus, what an eyesore. Stupid just to show how stupid you can be. 

Your bad take completely ignores the absolute rights of people. In this particular case a woman that was sexually assaulted and her DNA which was sampled was ostensibly taken for the purpose of helping her. Your bad take also ignores the very real chilling effect this practice would have on sexual assault victims. So…

I wonder how threatening the phone call was? I mean, shutting down the entire import of a substantial crop over one phone call (that my could have been placed by anyone) seems like a huge overreaction. Maybe there are unpublished details of the call that would clarify and justify this decision. 

I haven’t been more excited about a science project in a long time. What an awesome device. I’m so looking forward to the first real images and the awesome ones sure to follow. What a time to be alive.

What of them? Recovering from covid unvaccinated once doesn’t offer nearly the protection from subsequent infection of covid. It’s not even close. Unvaccinated dolts that survived covid would benefit themselves and everyone they are physically near by getting vaccinated. But selfishness and idiocy abound.

The fact that it’s stolen bitcoin doesn’t minimize their crimes in my mind. If anything that adds to their legal exposure in my opinion. They are therefor likely thieves in addition to money launderers. Seems worse in my book. 

Facing up to 25 years for laundering BILLIONS in a commodity?! People have spent more time in prison for growing weed in their own house. 

That made me laugh out loud. Thanks. I actually scrolled up to make sure I hadn’t missed something, but you were right.

No, Dirka’s statement of disagreement is distinctly different than a person actively flouting the law based on flawed logic and misunderstanding. Dirka disagrees with the law and the Supreme Court’s decision on DUI checkpoints, but isn’t proposing that people refuse to comply with them. Pretty big difference. The…

Good luck with getting out of the grays. Is there a lottery or something? I’m out of the grays on Gizmodo (lucky timing with an admin getting me out), but I’m sure I’ll be in the grays forever here. Ah well.

As to your point, I agree. The US military would be a great place to use carbon neutral fuels, assuming that we…

I think that refers to the rocket powered part of its’ journey, before it unfurls the solar sail.

He could have caused a huge fire with massive destruction. He deserves jail time. I’ve watched a few videos that have absolutely convinced me it was a staged stunt for views. I don’t know if jail time is a possibility, but I hope it is. If he filed an insurance claim for the crash he could be looking at fraud charges. 

My technique for stupidly big styrofoam packing material is to bust it into pieces that will fit in a large garbage bag and pour about 4 ounces of acetone into the bag, tie the top tight and set it outside for a day. The acetone eventually melts the styrene down into a chunk that’s easy to fit in my garbage can. It’s…
