I’ve never followed MotoGP, nor even heard of Nicky Hayden prior to the most recent race at COTA. While I was there I was absolutely enthralled with the fantastic racing, level of competition, and had an overall great time. I was in the box next to I believe Nicky Hayden’s family and friends, and all I can say is I’m…

Might be worth adding a paragraph about SCI stuff, the compartmentalization of classified material is critical to how it really works.

These shouldn’t be buttons at all.. They should be physical switches that once you put into a position setting, it stays there.

Rich Kristen is fantastic... Quite the budding supervillian...

Cheaper solution than bringing that paving crew back out: tow it 20 feet. nobody would even notice...

Good eye indeed.

Just out of curiosity, how do you know that’s a Cadillac?

I think that vehicles should come with a “stopping rating”. A sports car is going to always stop faster than a minivan full of children. If you’re going 20+ over the speed limit, lets penalize you more if you’ve got shitty stopping distance too, for being an even more unsafe driver.

Is that why our flyovers are absolutely gigantic?

IIRC they aren’t allowed in the left lane at least.

I think we should just say eff it at that point and go to the triple digits...

sick burn... whats with the communist units though?

Texas says eat my dust...

I’ve not seen one in White in closeup photos before. It looks stunning...

If we could start publicly rating individual taxi’s drivers and vehicle cleanliness that’d go a long way to weeding out the bullshit... As it stands though, the quality of your driver and the quality of their vehicle is a crapshoot in a septic tank.

You should do more stirring... it’s fun.

Man that seems vastly over-complicated, I love it.

Would you be opposed to doing a brief article on Japanese license plates, I don’t see how 4 digits could be enough. I do see that there’s 3 above that, but it still seems wonky.

There’s a test case for this kind of nationbuilding. Israel. While yeah theres definitely conflicts, creating a small nation between the big ones, followed by a large migration of diaspora to it to solidify the nation, might work. Yes there will be bad blood, yes there will be conflict, yes there will be war, it’d…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, a vast number of issues could be resolved if everybody just started ignoring the British lines on a map... A cohesive Kurdistan would be fantastic, breaking Afghanistan up into 4-6 different areas would be good too. Larger countries with more people are inherently more…
