As an engineer, beta testing in public spaces is unethical at best and reckless at worst. It’s not like this is some buggy game on Steam, this is a self-propelled 2 ton object driving through spaces where people my be completely unaware that there is no human in the driver seat and the car is under complete control of

Okay, so here’s what you do: If you’re watching TV and a NASCAR race comes on, push one of three buttons on your remote: Power, Channel up, channel down. Problem solved! NASCAR is NASCAR and if you don’t like the races, don’t watch them. There’s lots of people who prefer rugby over football or cricket over baseball

Millennial here. I can tell you where this comes from: When I graduated college, it was during one of the worst economic recessions since before boomers were born, even though I went to college on in-state tuition I was still saddled with student loans, and through it all boomers have mocked millennials for being lazy

Not to mention their reputation has completely been tarnished in my mind, because in response to declining reference book sales (due to the internet), Guinness now sells records if a company wants to garnish publicity.

Agreed. Pitfall, Star Master and River Raid were some of my favorites. All Activision games. And I’m also a big fan of Guitar Hero, so the legacy lives on.

I never played pole position. We did have night driver, which used the paddles to steer. If one of your greatest fears is running into a guardrail at night, do not play this game.

Cities should start putting these rocks on the corners of streets and anyone who runs over them automatically loses their licence if they don’t agree to driving a mid-size or smaller.

It’s competing with comments about Karens driving their SUV’s with reckless abandon. Something that Jalopnik readership might actually hate more than the recent direction of G/O media.

I don’t know about the computer science industry, but certainly in a lot of other industries that is the exact opposite attitude. “Oh, you’re right out of college? Sorry, we need at least 5 years of experience before we can consider you for a starting position.

“These millennials complaining about student debt and low wages. Back in my day I could buy a house and a car with a job right out of high school, so it must be because they’re lazy that they can’t afford anything! Now excuse me while I work a swing shift at Denny’s because I don’t seem to have anything saved for

I think Uber will hold on, but will eventually be bought out by some venture capitalist (gee, where have I heard that before?) that will ultimately trim the fat, streamline the services that actually are working and break a modest profit with the company a former shell of its old self. This is of course assuming they

My favorite part:

When I first thought about this, I was like, “why was I so scared about this as a kid?”, then re-watching it, I was reminded why. I think it was meant to be a video showcasing of how advanced technology has become, but something about seeing various 1980's robots set to polka music that flirts with a minor key,

I see a lot of commentators saying she shouldn’t expect a free drink just because she didn’t like it, but that ignores the facts that she didn’t want to make a fuss about it (i.e. she probably would have paid the $12 and not complained if the bartender never said anything), the bartender was dead-on his assessment of

Certainly, cars were always among my favorite toys, so any happy meal toy I could attempt to send down a Hot Wheels track was always fun. But, I think my favorite in addition to being a car (albeit that you couldn’t send down the track) also had a tie in to a favorite show, Tiny Toons: The Tiny Toons Flip Cars. We had

Can’t tell if you’re agreeing or mocking skeffles point, but yeah, if I had a car that cost as much as 100 ordinary cars, had been given to me as a present from a loved one, and there was no way to replace or repair it, I’d for damn sure have it in a garage with a security system and I’d have an enclosed trailer to

Seriously.

I think the biggest difference is that bar drink names aren’t a promotion thought up by a single company as a way to drive sales. They start off at a no name local bar and catch on elsewhere, but there is no concerted effort to make them a thing, it’s just word of mouth.

(Because every time he thinks everything is fine.. razor blade!)

Stick to.. non-sports!
