It seems like a transparent medium. But all you can see is the upper layer. Most of the really tricky stuff on the more advanced builds really starts under the surface, where you can’t see how the structure holds everything in place. For instance, it’s a pretty common technique now, but the first SNOT (Studs Not On…

Actually, it’s considered cheating by almost all LEGO enthusiasts to do any kind of part modification. Glues are also considered verboten (as evidenced in the LEGO movie), though are sometimes considered acceptable for larger builds that are being made permanent. That said, the piece should be stable before you glue…

“herb” grinder. Uh-huh. Perhaps I’ll put that in my “water pipe” and smoke it.

Again, we don’t remember it fondly, but that’s not the car’s fault.

Here’s a comparison test. Car and Driver rated the Protege5 higher — and I would agree, but while you’re getting a better handling car, you’re sacrificing some cargo room and the air conditioning in that car couldn’t keep up with the Texas heat in a Miata. Imagine how good it’s not when you add two extra doors and…

Wow. That was unexpected.

Goddamnit. I’m going to be the only person to defend these pieces of shit, but I am falling on that grenade.

What’s with Frank Reade’s fascination with upside down exclamation points?

Typical Chinese knockoff quality. Instead of a smooth clear reflection, we get a bumpy mottled one. “Good enough!”

I think I know all these people.

It only has one pedal because it’s direct drive with no shifting.

Sure there is. All I have to do is filter VPN and SMTP protocols from your traffic. Block all access to gmail, hotmail, yahoo, and a few other big name email providers and I’ve done a very good job of blocking email access for the majority of consumers.

They very much should be able to turn a buck. However, keep in mind that this market only has a few major players and the passengers on an airline are a captive audience. Is it really right to charge $41 for an internet connection that doesn’t cost much to provide? Or is that taking advantage of having a monopoly…

The thing is, the airline industry isn’t that large and the barrier to entry is steep. Much like if Comcast asks you to bend over and take it, you really don’t have much choice. The major airlines, which control 80% of the market may have been colluding.

“Heavily modified Ford V-8” with ... 270 horsepower. Alrighty, then.

In that era, it was not uncommon for ambulances to double as hearses. Small towns really couldn’t afford both.

You’re not the only one. This would have been epic if they’d recreated this Arthur. Fitting. Perfect.

Tobacco grinder? Coffee beans? Uh-huh. Pull the other one.

Can we talk now about how stupid the Nitro Circus guys are? They saw this stunt and rather than have a nearby college model the stunt, they just “wing it”. They are so damn lucky someone wasn’t killed. Their cage builder should have gotten one hell of a Christmas bonus.

And Chevrolet ripped off the RX-7 when they did the C5 Corvette and Toyota ripped off the F40 for their last Supra Turbo.
