Came here to post that. Immediately where my mind went.

Having been on the receiving end of a refueling boom 30 feet behind a tanker roughly 50 times, it was probably a risk that didn’t outweigh the rewards in reality. For reference, the more times I experienced air refueling over thousands of flight hours the more times I felt like I was rolling a dice praying it didn’t…

Having spent 25 years in aerospace and having been aboard AF1, admittedly on the ground, the fact that the administration bought 2 airframes and thought it was saving a ton of money, is an exaggeration. In reality its the equivalent of buying a freshly built custom home tearing it down until just the studs and…

It’s true that the air in an airplane is cycled through incredibly fast with outside air, hepa filtered when it’s not, and basically the cleanest air you can find indoors, but the decision that its’s no longer effective should come through the cdc, not some idiot who stretches the definition of “sanitize” to the…

Get out of here with your scientific words and asking me to sacrifice! Commie!!! /s

1st gear. You’re comparing a $4k electric K car to a model 3. Yeah, that’s an apples to apples comparison for sure.

Not sure the point of the comparison. The Hongguang Mini EV‘s base price is almost a tenth (yes tenth) of that of the Model 3…I would worry if it wasn’t outselling the Tesla. It makes the Bolt look expensive.

1st Gear: A lot of China’s population doesn’t actually make all that much money. Yes, even now after years of growth. Their upper class and upper middle class have ballooned, but the blue collar population is still massive. Combine that with small streets and often limited parking and a smaller car makes sense. The…

“Continental claims that this is not a profit-based decision, something that for-profit companies do all the time.”

They’re using two existing airframes for the new AF1s.

You may not be able to fly on one once passenger variants are fully retired

Yeah, I think the writer’s just too young to have proper perspective on what compact car interiors just... just looked like in that era.

The EQB is coming later this year so it’ll be first. It will be the first SUV that comes that is electric-only though, since the EQB is just an electric GLB.

1st gear -Didn’t Ford mortgage EVERYTHING back in ‘09 to avoid taking a government bailout?

whats really fun is they offered the exact same drivetrain in the HHR SS. 

I know it’s been said a million times, but it’s commonplace in countries like China and Japan for people to wear masks when on public transportation.

The American Taliban is here.

A lot of Republicans like to say the comparison between conservatives and the Taliban is ridiculous because the Taliban kills women. The only reason conservatives don’t actually kill women is because they can’t.. yet. But they defintiely want to. Conservatives are actually debating whether or not women should be…

The Steve Bannons of the world who always complain about Iran aren’t upset about that society.

I have been thinking about this for some time.
