I was waiting for somebody to post this image. It’s exactly the same kind of profound immediacy and clarity that feels so real it becomes absurd. We’re not used to seeing a murder so clearly, at the moment it happens. And lest it need be said, it is a good thing that such an image is surreal to most people.

This is the correct reaction. We’ll all wear cheap power ties and loafers, and hoon around north Chicago.

Nice Pontiac

I can’t help but think this wasn’t a glitch at all, just Uber throwing out a super large bill to see if anyone caught it. Part of their “try anything and see what sticks” business plan.

One guy had a late 60s Barracuda, that only hit on seven cylinders.

Lowest-bidder military rations.

Does Tracy David collect heaps of Toyota Cruisers?

This moving really is a wealth of crunchy detail for people who geek out over the operational engineering of PDP-1 mainframes. Praise the maker!

I don’t know how many other people are going to read a huge comment like this, so thank you for an excellent breakdown of the vapor-tech business experience.

One company buys all the assets, another company assumes all the debts, and they’re both owned by the same person.

Hard at working finding waymo ways to waste waymo money.

That’s the thing, all of the technology to build a phone already exists in a modern car, plus literally a thousand other components. Apple and Google had no idea what they were getting into.

Good. The car industry did not need “disruption” from a brigade of turtlenecks whose idea of product-longevity is how readily it can be patched. Building cars is a whole different ballgame from writing software.

I was gonna say, an early MythBusters episode featured the centrifugal governor for dropping an elevator. Adam and Jamie were fascinated and amused by the spinning balls. Science!

Unless the guy who invented it plays jolf and mows jrass and locks his jate, then that guy is wrong.

I’ll keep saying it as one syllable to the day I die.

That’s at least two digits of Jeep carcasses.

Once upon a time elevators were finicky enough to need an operator, but even then, nope not a vehicle. For insurance purposes, an elevator is considered static machinery the same as a boiler or HVAC unit.

Pretty sure that’s 90 kilometers per hour. Which would still be gloriously terrifying.

9 out of 10 I’d buy the sedan. I like the trunk being separate, and having a back window and C-pillars I can see out of. That being said, this is the million dollar question. When basically the same money gets you a sedan, or a hatchback version of that sedan, and the hatchback is objectively “more car for your money”
