You don’t put water on a lithium fire unless you’re a backwards hick with no training.

A big concern about gasoline powered vehicles is that they are often composed of hundreds of pints of flammable fluid that can (but is designed not to) start a chain reaction in the case of a fiery failure.

My neighbor has an 82 El Camino with the GN drivetrain in it. He paid $3000 for it.

Glad to see she’s teamed up with Tay Zonday. That’s a winning combo right there.

Indeed. Put a knife through the gas pedal and crash that sucker.

Just read it was a track hoe. It will be a while before the NTSB report on this comes out, but the only reason that equipment should be near a line is if they’re pulling or installing a valve, which should only happen after residual product is removed and the line is made inert. My money is on these yahoos trying to…

Exactly. What the hell are they doing with an excavator anywhere near a pipeline? This is a huge clusterfuck. Hydro-vac is the only method of mass cover removal that should ever be considered, even if the line is not active.

I can’t say I’ve ever been to a Love’s, but I can say that their tanker trucks are among the best looking in the business. They make me want to stop and get a skillet full of home style happiness.

Why do the game companies have to apologize for complying with third world dictator government demands? Should google apologize for not being available in China?

Wow. It’s almost as if the whole system is set up to benefit everyone but the citizens. On both sides. I’m sure Hillary or Donald will get right on to a realistic solution to the problem once they are elected.

Only one gun shop? How do the cartels keep their inventory up? They should probably do some background checks or something.

Original Civ should be higher. Maybe #3.

Magrathea?

After the number of 250 ml Jack Daniels bottles I had to step over in the parking lot of the last union manufacturing shop I worked at, I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often.

Said the first person ever. Maybe they are on to something.

Short story:

You’re an idiot.

Then I’ll give them a look in a decade or two. Until then, China is the home of melamine laced baby formula, deadly dog food, bridge supports filled with garbage, completed high rises that just fall over, and a complete lack of respect for IP laws.

I don’t care who they bought. China has a very long history of producing very bad products, automotive and otherwise. They’re going to have to do more than buy some IP to convince me they can build a safe automobile. Call me prejudiced if you want, but there’s a reason many engineering specifications require no…
