Blindly trusting navigation apps is stupid. I use Waze but always eyeball the route they offer before setting off. The worst is when it tries to “save” a few minutes by routing you off the beaten path. In once case, the directions wanted me to take a small side street then try and cut through six lanes of 65MPH cross…

No

Yep, I have seen the same around the construction zone in Palo Alto on 101. The artifacts from previous markings from three years of constant lane shifts is hard for many human drivers to figure out. Caught some interesting reactions on dashcam.

If you catch an STD from the same person each time you hooked up, wouldn’t that be a hint to take precautions?

I am ashamed to admit I am a dihydrogen monoxide addict. Withdrawal symptoms are terrible and I always relapse. My habit is at least 8 containers per day and sometimes more.

It’s obvious why the drone was up there. CHEMTRAILS!

How soon before that machine appears in hentai?

In tech, I always say anyone that claims they have never committed a huge outage is either lying or never did anything beyond canned checklists. My auto enthusiast friends say the same, work on enough big projects and you will screw up royally at one point or another. Slap yourself on the forehead, learn from the…

Here is how it usually goes, “I want basic transportation....... as long as it has a peppy engine, bluetooth connectivity, a nice sound system, power everything, remote start, an interior that is not acres of cheap plastic, tinted windows, room to carry all my stuff, etc etc etc...”

My wife and I did the same, we were going to pay cash for a used vehicle but we did the math and ended up going new. We were offered 0% for 60 months as well as other incentives and went with that option. After making the down payment, we put the remainder into a stock fund. Once all costs were factored in, we are…

Pieced together 3 broken Iridium satellite phones into one working device to a get a high latency (2000ms+), 1,200bit (not kilobit) connection. Location is classified.

So true.

So one of the claims is the sweeper was visible for 20 seconds and the vehicle took no action to avoid it. If only there was a way the car could have been manually manipulated to change course away from a stationary object by some sentient being responsible for operating the vehicle.

No shit. Had a 80 Series Toyota Land Cruiser. Swapping out a front turn signal bulb took about 1 minute from the time I opened the package to when I threw away the burned out bulb.

My wife gave up an X5 M for a Honda Odyssey when the 2nd kid was due. She didn’t speak to me for a week and was likely contemplating divorce. Modding her van may win me a few brownie points from the automotive side of our relationship.

When I was consulting in the automotive industry, I met a salesman that would routinely move 75+ cars per month. Did over 120 in one month during the 2009 cash for clunkers rebate period. He was genuinely a nice guy that did not BS people or play games. He helped his store keep sales numbers up so the General Manager…

Alright, I’ll take the clickbait. I do not have a dog in this fight but just want to get a few observations down.

So which FAA official was caught having relations with a goat and blackmailed into signing off on that contraption?

Twin sticks used to short circuit my brain. There are just not enough arms to shift both sticks and turning a corner at the same time. A with 5 speed main with 4 speed auxiliary had quite a learning curve,

While I do not use that recipe, the process is about the same. After shredding, I return the beef to simmer in the sauce for about 10 minutes without pressure. Works great with extremely tasty results.
