I don’t see how the pickle brine would prevent your car from rusting compared to regular salt.  Pickle brine is just a salt solution. what am i missing here? 

We already do that in my town - you can tell when the roads have been salted, you can see where the truck sprayed 10 or so parallel lines. Might not be “pickle” brine, but its some sort of brine; when it dries it looks like regular road salt. It doesn’t all get blown to the curb like rock salt and apparently works…

The deer would lick up all the salt and become dill flavored, so we would have lots of dill-does 

we should clear our roads with pickle brine, instead of road salt? But pickle brine is just salty water......Might as well save ourselves all the trouble of carrying the water + the salt and just carry salt!

Just a reminder that the burn rate for ICE cars is 500x that of electric cars.

It’s a bad analogy that involves entirely different reasons for entirely different results.

Not even a back door.  You have ot pay for their cell plan to use any of it, you have to pay for onstar to use apps past the first 1 or 3 years, and eventually you have to pay for onstar to even use google maps.  

Seizures are synchronized activity across populations of neurons that shouldn’t be synchronized. That synchronous activity perpetuates itself and propagates to other aspects of the neural circuit. In a small percentage of cases in certain people, they can be triggered by a sensory stimulus like a flashing light that…

The decision to move away from CarPlay/Android Auto was made in order for GM to capture user data that they can in turn monetize. When using CarPlay or Android Auto the data capture happens on the cellular device, and can be monetized by that company (Apple/Google). GM spent more money on developing their own system…

Seems the difference is a human says “hmmm, those bright flashing lights are making it hard for me to see, I’ll slow down” and a Telsa says “No idea what that is, best not to worry about it”.

As a real researcher who studies real epilepsy, I’m going to ask you to not ever use these words to describe this sort of thing again. This is not how epilepsy or seizures work. At all. In addition, real people who have real epilepsy suffer real stigma regarding their medical condition, and this sort of thing only…

Well that was a good try,

They also blind normal drivers too!

Android Auto is mirroring your phone to your car. Confusingly, Android Automotive is software built into the car that works without a phone connection.

This is and always was 2 things, a way for the automakers to cheap out yet again, I assume AA and Carplay have some kind of licensing fees, and eventually a way for them to turn this into a subscription service. Are AA and Carplay perfect, no, but we literally already use our phones for EVERYTHING else. Like I would…

He put his crimes into his jump logbook? Did I read that right?

I wonder what the modifications were ?

The best part of that line in the story is that the “never landed from his jump” hyperlink goes to a story about a skydiving plane that crashed on a Mexican beach.  How that relates to the FBI’s thinking that he “never landed from his jump” is anyone’s guess.  Never change Jalopnik, never change.

When you try and be a “cool” dad only to have this guy and his god damn kids ruin your parade.

No more avocado toasts for the millennials. Productivity goes up 300%.
