i always find it interesting how you americans call these “derailments”. where i’m from something that involves cranes and produces scrap metal is far beyond a simple derailment and would be called a major accident

What morons!

Surely you forgot about the Tribeca though...

Cybertruck

Look at this thing:

This is what happens when a country and culture worship money above all else. We value money more than our health, safety, and lives.

The anodyne Japanese sedan with the dealer-installed vinyl roof. It’s already kind of dumb enough on a big boxy Malaise era land yacht, but it’s even worse stripped of full context. Like, imagine walking around in athleisure wear with a massive powdered wig on your head because that’s what classy people wore like 200…

You mean other than the Youabian Puma? It’s the de-facto answer to this question...

Ugh, automatic shoulder harnesses were such an annoying thing (as you still had to clip in the lap belt, anyway!) I remember a friend’s car that had the passenger track break within five years of ownership, and so now you had to unclip two seatbelts to be able to use the shoulder harness.

There’s something about the 2nd gen Dodge Durango that never sat quite right with me. Most of it from the A-pillar aft is fine, if a bit boring, but the front fascia just looks a mess. The bumper juts out like a French Bulldog with an underbite, and they tried to make the headlights and crosshair grille look like a…

The anticipated Amber Russian EV...a face only a tadpole could love.

The Renault Robin:

Fiat Multipla

At this point, the MAX design has been scrutinized over by pretty much everyone, from NTSB, FAA, Boeing, independent teams, etc. If all of them are wrong and Pierson’s the only one who’s right, that would be some amazing fail. I can’t believe, with the sheer number of outside experts reviewing this plane, that its…

i wonder how rarely flock requires a warrant before handing over information. 

^^^THIS.  I never once thought airplane mode had anything to do with “plane interference”; instead, it keeps the battery use to a minimum as the phone doesn’t keep searching for a valid connection.

The most important thing is that Airplane mode saves battery... It stops your phone from trying to scan for signal every few seconds...

The real reason is this: airlines think people won’t stop yapping on their cell phones during flights, leading to more instances of “air rage.”

It beats the junk 737 Max Boeing tried to replace it with.

That United aircraft was N57111, a 757-224 first flown December 5, 1994. It’s almost 30 years old. It probably has 20,000 or more flights on it already. Probably has 15 C checks and 3-5 D checks on it already. It’s probably been disassembled and reassembled multiple times by the airline. That part may not be original,…
