You didn’t even touch on the terrible visibility. Between the small forward port and the massive radiator/solar panels, this is a terrible design for a fighter/scout mission. Presumably, they rely entirely on sensors for situational awareness and hope that their excellent maneuverability (see Tie Fighter, LucasArts,…

If you lead with a criticism of the rider before you turn on the driver, people will assume you are partly blaming the rider. Our reading skills may suck, but please consider that your shitty rhetorical skills are the principle culprit behind so many people responding the same way.

On one side, we have a driving infraction about which society has said “Hey, that’s bad. If you do that, it’s a violation and we will fine you hundreds of dollars.” On the other side, a man commits an act that society has responded to with “For intentionally trying to harm another human, we are going to charge you…

Because these are random spot-checks. It’s very unlikely that a single individual would get too many re-check citations. Whatever legitimate grievances they have are against VW, though.

So...every cop who ever made a statement into a microphone.

So...then you don’t believe his main point, repeated again and again, which was “I don’t care.” Decent people would be more apologetic for bumping into someone in the supermarket than this guy was for causing an serious accident, intentional or not.

Copyright may be broken, but this isn’t a particularly good example of that. Legitimate copyright holders have contracts which specify the ways in which their work may be used by licensees. If a user of licensed content streams that in a way which clearly violates the contractual rights of a licensee, why shouldn’t…

No, the US audience is miniscule (I know, I’m in it and other F1 fans are about as common as Snow Leopards around here), but it is a hugely popular series internationally.

Wait. Did someone want the Chevy SS?

Did it actually come out of the factory that ugly, or did someone with a few hundred dollars and a nearby Autozone go to town on it?

The shuttle program was very expensive per pound of payload. The goal of reusability wasn’t particularly cost-effective and it ended up limiting manned missions to very low altitude orbits. The only clear advantage that the shuttle program offered over single-use rockets, was the ability to grab satellites for service…

To be fair, it’s not like you guys are pushing some good alternative. Why didn’t you use VW Fraudorama or Diesel Circus? Really, anything other than diesel-gate, which is boooooooring.

Gateghazi!

Yeah, she’s obviously having a hugely bad moment in her life, but it’s a discrete episode. Possibly drugs or mental illness, but it doesn’t seem like her actions are those of a fully aware person executing a plan. He, on the other hand, must spend his whole life being an asshole that close to shouting for someone to…

The Volt has an ICE that charges the batteries, so it actually has incredible range. It’s a completely different approach to the problem than the pure plug-in/all electric solutions.

In the long run, that stuff creates short-term benefits to the state, but ultimately it loses the states a lot more than they gain, so they give up. Production will keep going to Canada, because Canada doesn’t subsidize production for financial reasons, so they don’t care if they take a loss. They just do it so…

Dickish behavior is by no means limited to conservatives. I say this as a pretty liberal guy.

This is probably my favorite Jalopnik-produced video ever. Well done!

I approve this fornication.

This guy manages to decry contracts and then goes on to later complain about a lack of professionalism. You can’t have it both ways, buddy. The world where fortunes could be spent on racing teams based on handshakes is long gone. Professional teams make careful (professional!) agreements these days. Good contracts…
