Agreed, but I would argue it was not a disappointment, it was a foregone conclusion the moment GM bought Saab...
While your statement is correct, your picture is totally wrong. Your picture is of a 2nd Gen. Honda CR-X VTEC (in fact taken straight from the wikipedia page), the ultimate small, light, economical, fun, go-kart car of the 80s. The CR-Z, which was supposed to be its spiritual successor looked okay, but was heavy and…
In reality, Voyager 2 is very close to not having enough power for any of the instruments it carries, with a last-instrument shutdown date expected in 2026. Since it’s already outside of the heliopause, it is not too likely to encounter something overly interesting in that time (though the amount of plasma it found…

Indeed, we are probably only a few years away from Elon tweeting (Xing?) that the first X Games are about to begin, following the same format as the Squid Games, and the survivor, erm, winner, will get the first seat in a non-return trip to Mars. That is as long as they are not vaccinated, of course, as you don’t want…
Perfect precursor to a real AI-driven Thought Police to seek and arrange arrest of all responsible for thoughtcrimes as defined by the ruling regime.
I was going to say exactly that. On their own, many highways in the US are perfectly fine for driving 100 mph (though in NJ the potholes will destroy your wheels and suspension if you try), but the complete lack of lane discipline and deficient driver training (unlike in all European countries, in the US driving…
I don’t live in NYC, I had to drive over 10h to Eastern Long Island for a meeting I couldn’t miss after a flight to LGA/JFK was cancelled with no alternative given for 24h. Train or subway were not going to help at all in this situation.
