I do wonder, if a player (such as a QB) is destined for the Jets, why don’t they pull a John Elway and say ‘Nope, not gonna play for you. Trade me.’ Because it seems like a guarantee that if you go there, your career will be toast and your record will be awful and you’ll be a laughingstock and perennial backup.

Is the…

Donald Duck, the character, has a shirt but no pants animated.

I think post ACA feels a lot to me like pre ACA: premiums are expensive, deductibles are high, I’m in a financial bind every month if I pay for insurance, but I run the risk of financial catastrophe if I don’t pay for premiums AND have an accident.

The difference: post ACA I don’t get to choose which scenario makes…

I have the reverse. I have the car loathed by my significant other. My wife does not trust my VW Passat(s). I had a Black 1993 Passat VR6, loved the torque, loved the sound. Loved that I could fit people in the backseat. That car stranded me three times. Once with a broken crack pipe (VR6 owners know), once with a…

Looks like they’re going to need to
Face the consequences.

Wore BK Knights for years. I just thought it was a weird thing I did. Had no idea they were cool.

Multiple In-line Chrome stick on teardrop vents.

///M badges on a non-M BMW. Bonus points if they failed to remove any of the stock badges.

Engineers are problem solvers and designers. A software engineer or a network engineer analyzes a need, determines what structures will fill the need, and how to design the solution in the most robust manner. This applies for physical things (bridges, electrical circuits) as well as things written in bytes (network…

I’d bite if it had sliding doors. Sliding doors = does it baby = mad yes.

A motorcycle.

Split those lanes, arrive much more quickly and much happier, radiating confidence and aplomb.

Or a self-driving car, when they come out.

So instead of insurance covering them, they’ll go to the ER, jacking up emergency transport and emergency care bills, and insurance won’t pay, but they’re probably too broke to pay, so the cost will get spread on all the medical system users who do pay.

So in the end, you pay.

I ride a motorcycle and lane split when traffic is tight. Sometimes people actively pull onto the paint in front of me to try and cut me off. I ride around them, and after I pass, I wave.

This is my revenge. Because I am happy and they are bitter.

No, this is petty and vengeful. They’re not taking your place. See how your car is in the middle of the lane? See how the motorcycle is not? The motorcycle can be where cars are not, so he’s taking a space that you cannot take, thus you and every car on the road can keep the space you’re in or moving to, and the…

So Ferrari is making a Corvette now?

Third party candidates who raise support create pressure from the main parties to adopt their positions to entice voters. So no, a 3rd party candidate won’t win a presidential election. They do help direct the course of major parties platforms and priorities.

I think this is fantastic. I’ve been aware of CRISPR/Cas9 for quite some time, and I think it’s an awesome capability to give future generations. Eliminating disease, removing defects, these are good things. Maybe even giving next generations better genes (improved immune systems, reduced susceptibility to cancer) is…

If I gather correctly, ALL Jalopnik sub-blogs are shared to the main Jalopnik, no? Perhaps only those authored by employees or ‘Tier 1' writers, but I think it’s automatic.

We must regulate Hamilton Nolan’s writing because everything he spews is based on ‘What I’d like’ and not a product of any type of well reasoned thinking or grounded in reality.

Cut bait. Part out what’s good and find a project where you’re not literally buying all the pieces.
