I would say they can consider themselves lucky it was just a bit of basic vandalism. When you are stupid enough to sack your IT staff en-mass like that you run the very real risk that they could easily cripple your business on the way out.

Why is it in English if it’s in China?

I, like millions of others, watched Tiger King and I walked away with two conclusions. First, this country is packed with crazy people and second, all the main tiger people were terrible, awful people I wouldn’t trust with a rusty nickel, much less the welfare of a big cat.

Fyi, Saff prefers male pronouns. I agree that he is one of maybe 3 or 4 semi-decent people on that show.

Agreed. And maybe I missed it but I don’t remember her, crying or being sad or even saying she glad that her dead husband at least brought her love of exotic animals in her life. ( I know they didn’t have the best marriage )she talked about her missing dead husband like he was an acquaintance or co worker.

I’m sorry, maybe I’m not reading the statement correctly and I don’t get that this is sarcasm, but this is just not true. Circumstantial evidence is still evidence.

“Well trick me into an embassy and chop me up like a piece of meat, this is the last thing I’d have expected from Saudi Arabia!”

“90% of the guys that buy Tacoma’s will never even use it for transporting rebels, let alone mount a 20mm cannon in it.”

The real bullshit here: While all of those ass holes can fairly easily get their hands on the best pickups and SUVs Toyota has to offer, I cannot buy any of them in the US and I’m not even trying to wage war on anybody.

And I see that our “friends” Saudi Arabia and Dubai are complicit in this. 

Sorry, not buying it. This was likely the safest time this could have been done. As you said, hardly anyone is on the road. I’m not buying the Alex Roy argument either, “They could have hit a truck carrying precious medical supplies”. Well, yeah but I’ll bet that’s statistically pretty low. I think most of the…

No, it doesn’t.

And running 100s of car spotters, airplane spotters, ten of thousands of dollars of radar and radar jamming equipment doesn’t qualify for an asterisk?

New Yokers: drive to Los Angeles

“If literally one thing goes wrong—if the team needs to call for help or a tow truck, if they get stopped, if they crash—literally anything goes wrong here and these guys would be pulling resources from an otherwise already overloaded system, not to mention potentially increasing the risk of contracting coronavirus by…

Kind of ironic that you wrote the exact article Ed predicted in the very vinwiki video you shared, condemning this run. Which is funny considering all the positive press Ed got here on jalopnik back when he originally broke the record. 

One of the reasons i got a Ridgeline is because Honda tested the bulkhead to keep 1100lbs cargo from intruding into the cabin in a crash.  I don't think any other pickup manufacturer tests that (and probably for good reason on their part).

Specifically to show what would happen without safety measures.
