I was poking around FiSTs and FoSTs a couple months back and asked about Apple’s CarPlay and the guy said pretty much all this. Nice to have confirmation on it. Guess I’ll have to wait longer to get back into hot hatches.

The moan before the ball even got to Suarez

Sports nerds and game nerds just need to accept that they’re just different sides of the same coin, get a room, and just do it already.

It was a fairly touristy area. Also had a few McDs, a KFC, and a Pizza Hut.

When I was visiting Paris there were two Subways within a few blocks of me. Perverse curiosity almost got the better of me, but I was able to stay away.

Nobody’s seriously pushing for coast-to-coast highspeed. But all of the areas that high speed is talked about (northeast corridor, LA-to-SF, Seattle-Portland, Chicago-wherever) are all comparable in length to routes run by high-speed in Europe. Hell, two high speed trains can get you from Paris to Berlin in eight…

The biggest thing that worked for me was to have something that you’re doing the work for. Nothing like “I need to fit in these pants” or “I need a beach body”, but “My fitness is holding me back from X,” where in my case, X was a sport. Focusing on weight as the goal always seemed tricky since, if you had a bad day…

One of the blessings of the FRS is that the rear screen is close enough that you can get a GoPro close enough with a suction mount for good angles like these.

It’s more of a control problem than a speed problem. They’re saying that the steering program was probably too conservative; with things like these you’re reading input, but instead of reacting to every little shift you’re blending x amount of data together to smooth the response. The thing definitely can steer itself…

That's kind of the point. Sponsored posts and editorial posts are two separate things, and never the twain shall meet. If this post gets axed because Dove calls in a favor, then there's an issue.

Lets go full glory boy and use "olds fashioned"

Counterpoint, re: Mini. Toggle switches (albeit fake). The best buttons ever put in a mass-production car.

Just looked at mine, very faint, doubt it makes a huge difference. More pronounced is the small scoop at the toe.

Only problem I had with CDG was how my gate was literally a million miles from the RER station.

Not to mention the coolest-looking airport in the world.

It would be interesting to give a bunch of pros a square bat like that and see what sort of difference it might make. It's easy to say "cricket has square bats, so why not," but also just as easy to say "cricket has a square bat since the bat has a different purpose". A square baseball bat would theoretically have an…

With bluetooth you may not even need to see the sign to check if you’re legal.

I’ve been borderline doubtful about the styling of the newest Mini generation, and seeing it in person didn’t completely help. But then I saw a few on the streets while visiting Paris earlier this year and, in the context of all of the small Euro cars it lives with, and it suddenly made sense.

His statement was about how he wants the game to be. That he’s a figure in “FAR LESS...watchable than the version of basketball that he’s shitting on” doesn’t make his statement invalid: his version of the game is played under rules that are not his doing. You play the game under the rules you have, not the rules you…

You have to play the game you have, not the game you want
