Us too, thank you.

Thank you Erin. Someone close to me is going through cancer right now, and its kicking the shit outta her. I’m going to keep this one. Best of luck on your own recovery.

What would it take for NJ Transit and NY’s MTA to just admit that they’re terrible at it, and hire a bunch of Japanese consultants to fix this shit?

I’ve been in the path of a Derecho before while I was in Iowa, I highly advise against it. Wind speeds hit over 95 miles per hour, roof’s ripped off and thrown hundreds of yards, trees broken like toothpicks...

Tell me about if it has adaptive cruise control, and if it’s any good. That’s literally my #1 question for new vehicles.

Don’t let the Brit’s know that even seals have knives now, they’ll have an aneurysm.

I really wish there was a modern standard for this like, how many standard crash test dummys can we shove into a trunk, that’s the measurement. done. It gives a standardized measure, it can effectively use a good amount of space since they’ve got joints, and the “two/three/four/etc body trunk” joke is even more…

I listened to it on loop for 2 hours earlier today, and i just turned it on again.

honestly the live version 25 years later is better... His voice is absolutely fantastic even all those years later. He sounds like he’s in his 20s. The women singing are on point, and it’s still just so damn catchy.

perhaps...

“Less Lethal” would be the correct terminology they should be using...

in GT1 it was easily capable of being a 240mph + 930 hp all wheel drive monster of a car that would slaughter anything except the LM cars.

What’s that about a 930 horsepower monster in Gran Turismo 1 that could hit 240+ miles per hour on High Speed Ring?

Grumble grumble microtransactions grumble.

Ugly is an understatement, hah.

Yep, that’s what led me down that path of thinking. Also of note, they were using the older style aluminum grid fins instead of the new titanium ones on the center core, the titanium ones can handle higher heat, so that may be a factor.

Yeah, I’ve not run any math or rocket science at all, but my gut tells me that the correct formula for landing the center core going a hell of a lot faster than normal is instead of the typical and successful 1-3-1 burn they do, they may be better off with a 3-3-3 burn, perhaps with even slightly larger grid fins on…

appears that way.
