This ... this does not need to be made into a movie. Especially not a JLaw movie.

you can see the Flying Elbow Cop thinking “THIS IS IT! THE MOMENT I’VE TRAINED MY WHOLE CAREER FOR! THE PEOPLES ELBOW!!!!”

If Jezebel went out and told everyone it was the board of directors plan to use her as a fall guy from the beginning, it would be a serious crimp in the “she was fired because of the sexist and racist users at reddit” narrative they are pushing.

yeah, the toolbox drop at 1:48 in the first video was probably the most obvious-scary thing with the aluminum bed. because that is something as close as what i routinely do with pickup trucks. it wasn’t scary in a ‘don’t buy ford’ way, it was scary in ‘this is the future of all trucks’ way.

Did anyone else find the actual footage...relaxing? Perhaps it was the stillness of the camera, but it all just seemed so smooth.

In Germany, that’s pretty normal. Unless you’re driving something capable of at least 155mph (that’s where the limiter is set on a lot of cars there) you spend a lot of time looking in the mirrors waiting for the headlight flash of a TDi Audi at half the speed of light.

You’d be surprised. The autobahn really is something else. But with the way people drive on an American highway? Absolutely terrifying.

Is most of the Autobahn 2 lanes in each direction? Every video I’ve seen looks like this one. It seems a bit narrow and winding to be completely unrestricted. If Americans stuck to the right, it would be much safer here to do 200mph. I’ve driven some French 5-lane Autoroutes that were pretty amazing (but limited) as…

The original CEO admitted that one of the co-founders set up Pao to be both the scapegoat and a token woman/minority:

Completely true. She was blamed for the unfair firing of a well-respected mod, and this was used by every Reddit user who totally wasn’t racist and/or misogynist but wanted her out as justification, even after some other dude came right out and said it was him.

Yeah and what exactly is wrong with strip clubs? We stripper shaming again?

Another failed attempt to exploit "sexism" for financial gain.

This I fully believe.

Funnily enough, the current Reddit Consensus (tm) about Pao is that she was basically the fall-guy (gal?) CEO. They bring her in, she makes a whole bunch of changes, user shit-storm happens, they fire her, bring back the old CEO, users rejoice, and in their giddy joy, they conveniently fail to notice that the new…

Among some people she has lost all credibility. It will be interesting to see what kind of sentiment people have toward the book and Pao’s experiences.

“I saw the channel as an opportunity to really share the enthusiasm for learning with a wider group of people,” MatPat told me in an interview. “What I like to say is, [it’s] an educational channel that’s disguised as an entertainment channel.”

That’s not because “oil’s running out”, because it’s not. It’s because of the current push to move away from fossil fuels.

Weird, I’m trying to reply to one of the anecdotal comments discussing electric car ownership in their European cities, but Kinja is having me automatically reply to you.

At first I didn’t know the guy and liked the idea of a flamboyant Italian executive leading Chrysler. But I’ve grown to loathe Sergio.

Ironically I read that article prior to this one, so I will admit to a bit of a facepalm that I didn’t remember to check the timestamps on the disruption events. On one hand it’s too much of a coincidence to not be related. On the other, why would your GPS not being able to pick up satellites result in the loss of…
