but I totally get that you can work out a good living situation in otherwise high cost of living areas if you get lucky/persist long enough. I have a friend that lives in LA and works as a software developer. because he was able to work a family deal to control his housing costs he’s been able to pocket a ginormous…

$200k a year at one of those firms is going to come with the expectation that I work more than 40 hours a week and manage people or projects. I’m cool with being able to work on cool stuff while living in a cheap house that happens to border a national park. If that also means that I live in the mid-west and have to…

I have the opposite problem. I’ve achieved the unicorn of a reasonably good salary job in a low cost of living area. If I wanted to move to a more desirable area there is almost no chance an employer in my field would give me the pay bump it’d take to maintain the same quality of life. Right now I make enough to be…

the tires don’t have a thin cross section. the sidewall isn’t even that short relative to many cars out there on the road.

you’re assuming the bending incidence rate on these cars is much different from any other car running a low aspect ratio tire on a wide and large diameter wheel. Having handled a lot of corvette rims I kind of doubt that it is.

I would guess that many movie stunt cars would have a welded diff instead of an actual LSD.

Sherrod Brown used the same talking point. The idea is that we spend a lot of time talking about tax cuts or reforms to make it easier to do business but those are kind of gifts for the investment class. There’s a whole class of Americans that have been left behind. They just want to be able to do a job, feel like…

not really. this is the kind of petty self-dealing and bribery that Trump and the GOP engage in on the regular.

I would guess that’s actually an artifact of the animation process. the artist only drew florida once and then just manually moved and rotated the drawing to achieve the desired effect. the lake was probably just left clear on the animation cell and when it passed over the text on the background it showed thru.

they weren’t the first company. GM beat them by over a decade with the EV1 and then beat them to market with an affordable EV with 200 miles of range in the form of the Bolt.

and for a lot of owners a plug-in hybrid is significantly more practical. it’s not the perfect long term solution but it does enable you to get a…

Jalopnik is not innocent here but as an overall percentage of their output it’s not early as bad.

a good chunk of vinwiki videos feature remorseless and overprivileged rich dudes bragging about breaking the law and/or putting bystanders at risk. If it isn’t this asshole passing under yellow or another jerk talking about hooning cars on public roads, it’s channel owner Ed Bolian telling yet another story about…

I think it’s absolutely hilarious when pirate adjacent groups get up in arms because someone is trying to profit off of their work. 

right, but hat I’m getting at is that the hart foundation is remembered fondly mostly because of Bret. because he was already inducted as a solo worker there wasn’t a huge drive to induct the team. Up until this year the WWE hadn’t been inducting many people twice, Ric Flair being the only example I know of (solo and…

Bret had already been inducted back in 2008 or so. The Anvil not being inducted until now is less of a shock I think.

We could go with Shemot too but I figured a Greek word that’s made it’s way into English would be a little easier than Hebrew. 

Wouldn’t that just be Exodus?

They should have a significant power and downforce advantage. They should be able to take the track record without running full out. The only real wrenches will be “what does the vintage F1 tire spec look like?” and “how close to the race engine map are they running?”

besides, the N64 cartridges were reliable. It’s the OG NES stuff that you had to blow into and wiggle to get to work.

Tucson sucks for pedestrians just because of the sprawl but it’s a really good city for bikes. There are bike lines on most of the roads and a pretty good network of bike paths (relative to the rest of the country) that will get you almost anywhere in the city easily.

I’m a relatively high level amateur bike racer.…
