Upgrading existing nuclear facilities from Gen 2 to Gen 3+ is not really feasible. Better to build as Gen 3+ from the get-go, streamline the approval process, and quickly decommission the older, dirtier, less-safe plants as soon as possible.

Meh. The 3-series has been getting sillier and sillier as the years pass by. The last decent (albeit boring) 3-series was the E46 (although the E9X M3 looked better than the E46 M3).

See also last good looking 7-series was the E38.

Well, Rich Purnell is a steely-eyed missile man.  

Let me guess, by your standards:
- X is a rockabilly band, not a punk band
- The Minutemen were a free jazz band
- Big Black isn’t punk because they used a drum machine and Albini is an asshole.

Ah...one of my favorite Clash songs.  He won my vote by running against Ted (Probably Not The Zodiac Killer) Cruz and by surfing a fast food parking lot while campaigning, but he won my heart with this comment.

It was a left turn off a main thoroughfare onto a residential street (without a turn lane and without a signal).

Shore answer: because I didn’t want to get killed by physics. As it was, I probably should have gone to the hospital as a much later x-ray indicated that my C2-C5 vertebrae are seriously cattywampus.

Beautiful fabrication job, and I’m sure it goes like stink (and handles amazingly). I feel like it needs the two-tone canary and British racing green paint, though (assuming that the white is just the base assembly coat).

And grill bars. Definitely grill bars.

WTF is with this transverse engine mounting?

Thank you!  I’ve learned something new today!

I was rear-ended in my senior year of high school (spring 1987). I was stopped at an intersection in my VW (Squareback) waiting to turn left onto my street. The driver of the other car (a nurse who just came off a 12-hour shift) came down the hill in her E80 Toyota Corolla like an Exocet missile and hit me doing

Something that always puzzles me when I see cars with fire suppression systems: how hard would it be to put it somewhere unobtrusive?! If you want to keep it inside the passenger compartment to keep it from being crushed, why not put it behind the passenger seat (you aren’t going to be sitting in the back of a GT3 RS

Note for Phoenix - don’t pop Sue Bird in the facemask when she has a broken nose. You’ll make her angry.

And you wouldn’t like her when she’s angry.

Yeah. It’s criminal how hard broadcasters make it to watch WNBA games.

Ugh.  We don’t need a goddamn SUV.  Build an f-ing station wagon (lighter, better c/d, less of a threat to everyone on the road), please!

Bleacher Report is stating it was a bone bruise, but it still looked like it could have been an ACL injury. That being said, a knee brace that prevents the knee from collapsing backwards + a bunch of cortisone injections would allow her to play with a sheared ACL.

Clearly you have never been to a car museum - they will kick your ass to the curb for that. I’ve seen people get the boot from both the Academy of Art University Auto Museum in San Francisco (highly recommended if you are in the area and can get a reservation, BTW) and the Petersen Museum in LA for doing this exact

Wait, are you implying that Ballaban touched someone’s car with his junk?

Ew.

You forgot the most important travel tip - always take a photo of where you parked your car.  Trust me on this one...

Hamstring. They weren’t doing cadavers very often when I had mine done. However, I wish they had been, as my hamstring and IT band have been angry at me for the last 18 years as a result.
