Drop your phone in public and pick up the pieces like that Lego castle I built in grade school and dropped on my way to the fair where I probably would have won a blue ribbon and mom said it was my fault for being clumsy but she is the one that started driving before I was even the whole way out of the car

Remember that TV interview after a quadruple OT win over Michigan a couple years ago when he called the team a bunch of fuckers? And then kept saying “No, I said fighters!” Riiiiight.

What was the dentist doing?

Phones are going through the same cycles as vehicles. Right now we’re at the giant SUV phase that was so big (ha, punny) in the early aughts.

Growing up, me and my buddies always had nerf guns. They would sit at home while we had massive “j-wad” battles, which left terrible welts and were much, much more fun.

That’s really interesting. I’d love to see someone do an article about all of that.

Do you have any idea what they do with the contraband? (serious question)

So, are you desperately, desperately poor or something?

Do. Or do not. There is no try. - Yoda phone.

My x100 or d7000. Not because they’re old (they work great!) but because I drop those suckers like a hot potato every other time I pick one up.

Great article. I’ve always had a problem with how future technologies are portrayed in sci-fi films (think Iron Man, Minority Report, etc) and you hit the nail on the head here. I like being a lazy gremlin that’s able to do anything with a flick of the wrist and a tap of a key.

I moved out of a city and now get 3mbs down, through Verizon. The worst part is that I literally can’t switch. There’s no other provider. My life is hell.

We’d have tournaments in high school (five years ago) so I consider myself part of the Tecmo elite, but $50 for updated rosters on Tecmo?

If they made this available through Axial racing, or something similar, I would buy it. Oh yes, I would buy it.

If my flash is accidentally turned on in my pocked, it gets got FAST. I can’t imagine this being good for your phone.

They were bought for $12.6 billion in 2000 and sold for $36 million in 2010. Ouch.

It’s terrible how outdated it is. I know a lot of Jeepers who use ECE headlights in the US because the pattern is often considered preferable. I can’t imagine a police officer ever saying something. I could see a trucker getting a CSA violation for it, though.

Thanks, I clarified it a bit in another comment but you’re right. Difference between adaptive lighting and “dynamic” adaptive lighting from a consumers standpoint.

This is kind of complicated and gets into the semantics of “adaptive”, I guess. Auto-leveling headlights are legal (if you put a heavy load in the back of the car, the front end aims up in the air. Auto-leveling headlights correct this change.)

No, for the time being, adaptive lighting is not legal in the US. I’m pretty sure the snag in NHTSA that doesn’t allow them is some weird law from 1968. Absurd, but FMVSS 108 is painfully slow to change. We can’t even use ECE headlights, while our level-headed neighbors up North in Canada have allowed it for a long…
