$700-ish per hour in fuel.

Well, when someone dives a 787 to look at the Titanic, get back to me. but there’s a very big difference between <1 ATM pressure difference from inside out, and nearly 400 ATM pressure difference from outside in.

if you ignore its two main drawbacks, it’s actually an excellent choice

Every safety regulation is not written in blood. Difficult ones are, sure. The DeHavilland Comet lessons were written in blood because we didn’t understand the physics before that plane taught it to us.

Y’know, I hardly ever notice usernames unless there’s a long pattern of shitty takes. Congrats, I recognize yours.

Jesus fuck, if  that’s worth 13 grand I’m just gonna assume I can straight up trade my mint-condition 91 CRX for a Bugatti.

And the woman could have avoided getting raped if she’d worn pants instead of a skirt.

I’m using anti-fascist in the English-language sense, not the branded movement sense. As in, I don’t like and oppose fascism. That doesn't mean I'm an anarchist.

As an ex TV guy, I agree. Just about every chromakey problem we had on the weather set came down to "the control room doesn't know how to light a key wall." 

Happy to admit to an extreme anti-fascism bias!

Be nice if that were the case, but they will happily enforce unconstitutional laws all day long as long as they like the laws. They will happily enforce unpopular laws by saying “we don’t get to make the law, we’re sworn to enforce it,” but then not enforce laws they don’t like, including ones which are absolutely not…

There’s a group of sheriffs around the country who have decided that the Constitution says they are not bound to follow the edicts of elected officials, but rather they are the supreme authority of law in the land. That’s where this disobedience of state government comes from, and it’s why even if you live in a…

The idea that people can be tracked by the government through their license plates really isn’t that new, even if modern tech makes it easier.

Speaking of rewriting history, there’s a big difference between “looking at” someone and chasing them all over the neighborhood brandishing a firearm while they try to run away from you.

The answer to that one actually does make sense. When you fly GA, and you’re going somewhere that isn’t your home airport to do something that’s not at the airport, you have to hope the local FBO has a car for you to use. Otherwise, you hope the airport has a rental car agency ($$$). Or you take Uber (also $$$).

But is there a use case for a flying golf cart?

The middle ground is that if you’re in immediate danger you can defend yourself, unless you started the shit in the first place which is where many of these styg cases end up. The shooter starts the fight, then murders the guy and claims self defense. See: Kyle Rittenhouse, George Zimmerman, etc.

She’s pretty selective in what cars she likes, and it pretty much comes down to “something that looks fairly close to the Veloster.” Europe has several from Peugeot, Cupra, etc that she likes but, of course, we’re not getting ‘em here.  Alpine is coming out with a cool little electric hatch but when they come to the…

She might consider it, but she’s not sold on the looks. Neither am I, for that matter.

The saddest part is that it’s a very rare electric car for the US market; an actual car. Search “small electric cars” and you get a bunch of cool stuff that’s only available in Europe, and toy shit from Alibaba.
