Just imagine how much better the car would handle if the engine was ahead of the rear axle.

I AM a boring middle aged white guy, and am not interested in a Harley. I find the whole black leather, do-rag, wanna-be pirate branding tiresome. The only bike HD makes I would be interested in, the 750cc Street Rod, is hard pressed to compete with other bikes in its price range (which often offer more power or…

You are right. It was SUPPOSED to be a link to an image of Michael Learned (but I apparently copied the wrong address). +1 star for you.

And Michael is a perfectly good name for a woman.

You would prefer this?

God, some Trek fans are whiny. The show hasn’t even aired a single episode, and people are already acting like the showrunners stabbed their puppy. Star Trek has a LONG history of introducing new family members, often without a single preceding hint of their existence. Kirk’s brother, sister-in-law and nephew in one…

Those are very depressing numbers.

If the tech wizards who design these things (and their next versions) can’t get their power needs low enough to function full time, there is always the possibility of punctuated use. The energy could be stored in a capacitor or battery until enough was available to use for a short time or high-power burst…

“(because i’m not a savage and wouldn’t do it myself)“

I think you spelled “gutless coward” wrong.

Most of them claim that all space travel, including the ISS and satellites, are NASA hoaxes. Rockets are just launched into the sea (which is why they don’t go straight up forever.

When I first encountered the Barb fandom, I just assumed I’d missed an episode, where she did something amazing and memorable. I assumed I’d get to see what all the fuss was about.

I learned to drive (the basics, anyway) on a tractor like that. 8 years old, tearing around back fields and down old woods roads for hours. If you got it wound out in top gear (about 25 mph), the front wheels shimmied so bad, you couldn’t hold onto the steering wheel.

Considering that they have been revealed as the lawless ones, Jesus will be coming for them soon.

He fucked up that fig tree pretty good.

If you get rid of the driver, and the need for a big front window, then the front of these vehicles should be nothing but a great huge crash barrier. Make the first 6' of this a lightweight, energy absorbing crash pad, one that is cheap, easily replaced, and kind to animals, pedestrians and other vehicles. All the…

Please don’t do that. Americans flying a false flag only degrade the good-will we Canadians have spent generations building up. Have the balls to own up for your own country’s faults, or stay home. Don’t wear our flag because you’re ashamed of your own.

The fact that these warnings didn’t come true doesn’t mean that the scientists were wrong, it means that people actually listened to them, and took steps to prevent these problems. Things like catalytic converters, the Clean Air Act, the EPA, exhaust scrubbers in power plants, the reduction in using coal, unleaded…

With over half the world’s fresh-water lakes, there are plenty of places to swim (and not a single alligator in any of them), and we do have beaches - lots of beaches (we have over 250,000 km of coastline to choose from)

Really. You won’t find them downtown Toronto, or in dry regions (they like wetlands), but you don’t have to go far otherwise to find them. Remember that many northern U.S. states have good moose populations as well.

Come to Canada. We’re nicer, the scenery’s fantastic, the air and the water are clean, the food is good and the beer is better. You’re much less likely to get shot, and you might get to see a moose.
