I remember learning as a kid how bees communicate with each other by “dancing” and then encountered a bee in the car on a road trip. When we shooed it out of the car, I wondered if it could just fly to a new hive, do its little waggle dance, and fit right in... or would the other bees take a look at it and ask: “Hey,…

Moments after Steve the fly is released from the back seat, the trunk is opened. Unbeknownst to Steve, another local has stowed away.

How do they tell their friends back home that they are having a great time and they miss them?

NOW we need an etymologist.

My whole life my concern was more what happens to the various insects in their new location.

Oh, yikes, man. Bad take.

Imagine if you were in the office and someone put out muffins in the break room and you took one and then someone else shot you with a tranquilizer and when you woke up you were in Azerbaijan.

Thank you. I’m getting sick of all these articles (in fairness, not just on this site) which act like the uber rich are sitting on giant piles of cash. This article and all of the tax-dodger ones a few weeks ago are like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Musk doesn’t have $170 billion. Yes, he’s filthy rich, but come on here, he doesn’t have $170 billion. When you guys say shit like this, it undercuts your argument. It comes off as you being disingenuous, so what other things are you being disingenuous about that I might not realize?

If the bank erred in giving me an extra $50, I’d probably order some pizza to celebrate. If they erred in giving me an extra $50 billion, you bet I’d call the bank. You can’t actually do anything with that kind of money without the authorities noticing. 

People Smart Enough to Know What Fraud Is Make Correct Choice

Foreign v Domestic can be pretty subjective these days. The origin of the badge usually trumps where it was built, or where the company is headquartered. Aside from jokes about California being like its own country, I can’t come up with any rationalization to consider a Tesla a foreign car.

Read those policies closely.  Most don’t kick in until after your personal insurance pays out, then they cover whatever is left over that they feel like covering.  Very few cards (usually the ones with HUGE annual fees) have primary rental car insurance coverage.

The same tactics described at length in the article with a link to ISIS praising vehicular attacks? 

Most of those crashes are people running red lights that are set to change to prevent them from hitting it. They get what they deserve

I can’t recall the details, but there’s a good reason why they can’t. It’s a rail bridge. I think the slope approaching it is already at the limit or something.

Nothing “breaks” or “defies” physics. Tired ass cliche hyperbole makes for a crap headline.

Right!

Completely agree. Lines like “And is firing a gunpowder-propelled restraint the best way...” are clearly meant to elicit an emotional response. It’s a blank cartridge that uses gunpowder because of the concentrated energy available in a small package. Would a compressed air cartridge that reached the same velocity be…
