Regarding slide 3, that’s one thing I don’t like about my local go-to gas station. It only has three parking spots, one of which is reserved for water/air, and another of which is handicap. You pretty much have to park at the pump when the regular spot is already taken. I suppose I could wait in my car for the other…

Jalopnik is not renowned for their spelling and grammatical forte. 

A ton of engineering has gone into keeping fuel vapors in your fuel tank and not spilling out into the environment. No fuel vapor means no risk of explosion.

It’s a legit risk when filling gas cans in the bed of a truck. When they say to set them on the ground first, there’s a reason for that.

Is the windshield fluid really a thing? I’m sure it’s pretty gross, but I’m not drinking the stuff. It can’t be much worse than all the junk coming out of nearby exhausts in traffic that layers the entire roadway.

Speaking as a Japanese-American that grew up in a predominantly Japanese speaking household, Wssei-eigo (English loan-words in Japanese that mean different things) can be really, really confusing.

Exception is diesel, though. The outside diesel nozzles are often for the big cargo trucks and stuff. The nozzle doesn’t fit a standard diesel car. So you do have to wait for the inside spots to open up. At ‘new’ gas stations (that i’ve not visited before) i often hop in and ask the attendant which of the diesel pumps…

I actually enjoy going to the gas station for the most part and I like the gas smell.

Do NOT park in front of the air hose or the vacuum unless you are actively USING the air hose or the vacuum. Exceptions are made only if you are getting change from the person behind the bullet-proof glass. “I was completely oblivious as to where I parked while getting lottery tickets and a Mountain Dew” is NOT one of…

This is mostly correct! School Idol Festival is specifically referring to the rhythm games from the franchise. There has been the original “School Idol Festival”; “School Idol Festival After School Activity”, an arcade rhythm game later ported to the PS4; ”School Idol Festival: All Stars”, a spinoff featuring all of…

From a frustrated fan, Loopy is 100% correct, with the minor addition that “Love Live!” refers to a multimedia franchise, not just a game one. The first anime (Love Live! School Idol Project) debuted a few months before the game came out, though I would imagine they were developed in tandem. The first game (Love Live!…

“Live” is the loanword the Japanese use to refer to a concert performance. “Love Live!” is the overall franchise name, “School Idol Festival” is, I think, a subfranchise of the franchise (think Persona for Shin Megami Tensei) and the “Miracle Live” is, I believe, the sequel subtitle.

my assumption here is that xbox/windows store only allows dedicated servers run by microsoft while pocketpair wants to run the servers themselves. Microsoft doesn’t want to give up on that server rental money or they have stipulations for security for the servers to connect to the xbox ecosystem that pocketpair don’t…

Imagine if you devoted 1/10th of the energy you expended defending a billionaire on anything else. Like, for example, the people she brazenly wishes to disenfranchise.

Don’t be a cunt, Doc.

When I was a kid I was fascinated with the crystal key that Chrysler used for a couple of years. I think it reminded me of the fortress of solitude crystal stuff from the first Superman movie.

For the most disappointing key:

Shout out to Ford and GM requiring different keys for locks and ignition, supposedly so you could hand the ignition key off to a valet not have them get into your trunk. So much concern for security in an era when you could walk up to any random car in a parking lot and have a reasonable chance your keys would start…

Wow can’t believe this list didnt mention one of the best weird car keys of all time, the credit card key that Mercedes and Mazda used to be put in your wallet

Oh blast it all! And I just had the help at the Palm Beach property wash and wax the silver one for a romp around South Beach this weekend.
