But what I can’t get over is the decision to not realease any info about the investigation into the Trump Russia love affair. I get having to release the Hillary email shit because Chaffetz was going to do it. But if you are going to break with standardized ethics than you also need to be transparent about the fact…

I can see how it was a genuinely horrible position for him to be in. There was a very real possibility from where he was standing that he could end up in a situation where he kept quiet about the fact that they were pursuing new leads, and then have those leads lead to real results (we know now, of course, that they…

One guy who lives in the center of Helsinki owns a Citroën 11CV Traction Avant Coupé. During summertime he sometimes parks it near his home. I have seen it couple of times (but I’m too lazy to dig up my own photo of it). This thing is ridiculously rare as the production number of these is around 15.

Many many Birds.

counter : all SUVs are stupid and only a fraction of the owners need their capacities. However, two door SUVs are even stupider because the whole point of SUVs is that they’re practical, I never look at my GC and think “you know what would be great? If it was harder for passengers to get in!”

Hipster nonsense is hipster nonsense.

SUVs are for driving around on loose surfaces, towing boats to the lake, race cars to the track, or filling with bags of mulch from the home improvement store. It should be simple and uncomfortable to drive, like a truck with less utility.

Kept my tour group waiting so I could snag this pic of a Cygnet in Paris. I keep forgetting that these things exist.

John Mulaney describing the Trump’s charade of a presidency as “ This Is A Horse Loose In A Hospital” is one of the best metaphors I’ve heard.

Ralph Lauren’s Ferrari 275 GTB/4 NART Spider. Street parked in Manhattan outside his Madison Ave flagship store.

I’m confused why he serves coffee at what I am assuming is a chicken rotisserie place

I just drove for nine hours straight, but I don’t think that’s solely to blame for how confusing that Megan Markle story was.

I think they wanted to ensure the sense of finality with the Red Wedding while also preserving the big “magical resurrection” in the series for Jon.

With this setup you can have one engine driving two completely separate and independent drivetrains, think about a tank making a turn or a zero turn mower for example (not sure what zero turn mowers use but you get the general idea)

I don’t understand all the math and engineering behind it, but in short the answer is ‘extreme thermal efficiency’. They are complicated but not as heavy as you think due to there being no cylinder head or valve train; the pistons themselves serve as the valving mechanism. In the Jumo 205, the intake port was on the…

Came here to say it.

All this concern about time from completely empty, to completely full is projecting the gas engine operating model onto something that doesn’t work that way. Once you live with an EV for a few weeks, you have a different use pattern. “Fueling” is something that happens when you are doing other things, and in normal…

TBH, I really like that stadium analogy and I may use it in the future. Way more intuitive than explaining it directly.

This is a great explanation of something that doesn’t matter the vast majority of the time.

It’s brilliant. The MK6 interior wasn’t bad either, it’s just the materials they used were awful. But this MK7 one is a masterpiece.
