Not very hard to do if you really wanted to. Granted, new technology certainly makes it easier and more convenient.

I feel like this isn’t necessarily something new. What stops folks today, and in the past, keeping the spare key to a vehicle they’ve sold?

Obvious answer is obvious: V8.

“No tire pressure”

I lost it

Negative, it was the throttle. Wheels were spinning and didn’t realize.

I’m not interested in debating Trump’s political soundbites, some of which are said not to drive policy but to cement support. Essentially, not relevant to our discussion.

Regardless of who’s President, how should the US respond to aggressive, destabilizing states? Iran? Russia? China?

Should the US provide military aid…

Some would say letting Russia have Ukraine is basically inviting them to do this shit again. “Oh you want to annex bits and pieces of other countries?” “Sure, go ahead, the world wont do anything about it.”

What message does that send to Iran? China? Saudi Arabia?

Yes, Ukraine doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of…

Technically, no one is advocating for a Russian conflict.

Remember, there’s no Russian troops in Ukraine so taking a page out of the Putin’s playbook (a la Syria) and supporting a legitimate government fighting terrorists should not be a problem.

Did you even think prior to typing that garbage?

My vehicle was totalled by a Turo renter. Thankfully because I live in California I received RCV (Replacement Cost Value) which was fair market value (using local sales data) + CA sales tax.

In my defense, it was my first visit to South Africa and had never heard Afrikaan’s before. To my ignorant 20 year old self it sounded like gibberish with hints of multiple languages sprinkled in.

Thats both scary and hilarious all at the same time. I like how Andrew always kept it polite (“Thanks, I’m good”, “No thank you, not my scene”) as if what was happening was completely normal. Dem english genes.

The worst is probably the time i was on an 11hr redeye to South Africa back in 2008. They were about to serve dinner (I was sitting in the front exit seat next to the gallery, leg room ftw, seriously i thought i was the luckiest guy in the world) and was watching Twilight (Edward is so hawt, ermahgerd).

Dis, so much dis. It happens on both sides of the aisle and for a man who earns his living applying the scientific method I find it the single most infuriating thing in the entire world. That the lives of millions of people can be affected by the most ignorant soundbite.

I wish research, thought, and data wasn’t so…

TIL: Don’t accelerate powerful RWD automobile’s into hairpin corners.

Rented a 2.0 Kia Spectra, sweet mother of torque! (context: spent my previous 5 years driving 1.2-1.4 litre engines, that were 10-20 years old).

Every time i started that 2.0 engine i could feel the raw power pulsating through the steering wheel, yearning to be released, and released it I did.

Muppets thankfully can’t afford Mustangs, at least in the UK. Instead its Vauxhall (Opel) Corsa’s attempting to murder men, women, and children.

Shelby Cobra replica.

But, rifle bolts are pretty slow? Perhaps instead: It shifts like a gas operated semi-automatic rifle.
