I mean, cmon, no way Alec Baldwin didn't do a line before that scene.

Yeah, they could be catching humans!

They’ve been watching too much Glengarry Glen Ross

For what it’s worth, I can understand Glick’s frustration. But also, the Pininfarina design seems to have held up remarkably well. If one didn’t know, I think they’re be hard pressed to know which one was the new design.

One of the air taxi designs actually takes the transition into account and the whole craft is designed to be aerodynamically optimized for forward flight. I think it’s called Blackfly:

F1 goes significantly faster than this, and I’d be willing to bet there are ways to offset the minimal altitude to make crashes survivable. Doing it over water might be the best near-term solution.

I’m actually really sympathetic to the idea of eating proper sit-down meals. But when you’ve got kiddos (especially little ones) and you are trying to make time on a road trip, driving through can mean the difference between a 10 minute stop and an hour long stop. And if the tiny one is sleeping, then going in is…

I know a ton of misogynistic assholes who are married to attractive women. Money and looks go a long way. My wife’s best friend dates beefcake pretty exclusively, and most of them have been misogynistic assholes.

That's a crossover that makes sense to me actually.

R-class owner here: it is a minivan in most respects, with the doors being the obvious difference. A less obvious difference is that it's remarkably short (height wise) compared to any modern minivan. While the seats are still spacious, it does mean that the trunk is a lot smaller than you would expect given how long…

It is offset somewhat if you tow. Your diesel mileage won’t suffer nearly as much. Source: my Dad tows stuff with his little Gold TDI.

I maintain that Koenigsegg needs to put this engine in an airplane and go to Reno.

Uh, the US has one city that is in the news for not having completely potable tap water. China's water isn't potable out of the tap in 99% of the country. The US has room for improvement, but the comparison isn't going to work out favorably for China for years to come.

The thing that kills me is that T’Challa is clearly the less interesting between him and his sister. I wish she was the Panther. And I say this as someone who gets uncomfortable when people try and shoehorn women into leading roles for the sake of feminism. Wonder Woman and the latest Mad Max I think were excellent…

Important note before you go teach in a low income school: your student loans were most likely sold to a private company who now owns the loan, but also oversees the process for forgiving the loan as well as the appeals process if your application for loan forgiveness is denied. Guess how often qualifying candidates…

Technically even in at will positions, firing because of unionizing is illegal. The issue obviously is proving it, and having the resources to fight the firing. But that’s going to step 1. Someone has to fight the first battle.

It’s not just right, it’s a fundamental necessity for the labor market to function. Otherwise the bargaining power of labor is at a disadvantage against employers, and the power imbalance leads to wage suppression.

Seriously? If anything fasting brings people to confront the excess in ways they would otherwise not. I would agree that fasting as a way to lose weight seems to be missing the point, but I will also say that restricting your caloric intake is the kind of change that your body will make you painfully aware of. I think…

I think technically no, IIRC cheetahs can’t always do it, and I think Jaguars sometimes crush skulls. But generally, yes, big cats prefer killing by going for the jugular.

The used electrics are some of the best values in the car world right now. I was eying the used Leafs before I bought my current little ‘03 Matrix a few years back. So cheap for the low mileage. Plus, people have been repurposing their battery packs for powerwalls and the like. The ubiquity of lithium cells is…
