Dring the Bosnian War, which decimated the civilian population and created thousands of refugees, aid trucks were regularly attacked, being slow and clumsy. They needed a way to get humanitarian supplies into the country while either avoiding detection, or being able to get away if spotted.

Surprised the cop didn’t shoot at it since it’s black.

You could have 100$ a month Broadband in your shithole rural district, but your neighbors have a terrible tendency to vote for the idiots who like protecting corporate profits at the expense of service quality.

Maybe don’t pin your hopes and dreams on a megalomaniacal robber-baron egotist. The ‘we don’t have good…

Considering how Starlink satellites are ruining Earth-based astronomy:

A lot of poor people also suck. Being rich or poor does not determine if you are a shitty person or not. Shitty people are shitty regardless.

Porsche and self driving seem to go together like peanut butter and sushi. Why would I want a car that is so wonderful to drive and tuned for the driver... which isn’t a human?

Porsche does not want self-driving features? I find this to be a wise stance. If you want to get driven to work while snuggled in a blanket, nursing a hangover in the back seat, you probably won’t do it in a Porsche.

Waiting for Teslastans to say. “The Tesla is so smart it knows that’s a fake child. That is why it didn’t stop!”

the whole thing seems like a petty, passive-aggressive “fuck you” to Floyd, his family, and everyone else who has ever argued for defunding the police (or just reining them in a little so they’re not killing unarmed black people all the time).  Pretty standard response for an American police union.

what I want in my car is a dumb display and a bluetooth speaker system.

I’ll bring my own computation thank you very much.

If only the actual cars were stuck 20 years in the past as well...

I used to be selected for jury duty every year or two and they’d bring me as far as they could without having to discount me from selection for seven years. Finally, in comments as to why I shouldn’t be selected for jury duty, I wrote that I go by my own code which may or may not coincide with the law written to…

This is bullshit - *anyone* who I am legally required to interact with must be 100% vaccinated. I have no way to avoid interacting with cops and TSA when they choose to engage. In return for those powers and their generous wages, they need to be vaccinated with zero exceptions.

Jalopnik’s been letting in some low effort clickbait recently, but this really takes the cake. Fire the editor who greenlit this, then fire the guy who hired that editor.
Except that was probably a herb.

As a cyclist, I have transitioned about 90% of my rides indoor via trainer and training app. After my kid was born, and several near misses including getting hit by a car while running, it was time to mitigate unnecessary risk.

Haha.This is Texas: cyclists are always presumed to be in the wrong because they should have been in a truck with firearms, like all normal people.

Just tested this on my 25 year old Toyota. Does the same thing, but the button doesn’t clack in the same way. I guess that’s something.

I’m a Millennial who’s pushing 30 but I never understood the appeal of TikTok.

“for American reality” —as if, this is a niche car for niche sales.

The Dart had a lot going for it. It was well-styled, especially the mini-Charger rear lighting silhouette. It had attractive engine options. It had big-boy tech features like a 7-inch color LCD instrument panel, an 8-inch touchscreen, and a proximity key.

Unfortunately, FCA shot itself in the foot by offering the Dart w…
