    It’s a 75 mm.

    They weren’t called Ronsons by their crews at all. That’s a myth.

    I hate to be an ass, but this guy got taken. This tank is an M4A4, running the Chrysler Multibank engine. The US never used these. They were all sold to Britain and France. The engine was literally 5 inline six cylinder engines mated together to make a single engine. It had 30 cylinders. The US didn’t used them,…

    Wights deserve an unliving wage!

    It’s a problem for two reasons. First, Harley is for old people. It really is, and they know it’s a problem. This guy isn’t talking about his Harley, but his father’s Harley. You can always say that the problem with Harley is the problem with Christianity. In theory, it’s not so bad, but its fans turn me off. I…

    As to number 4: The relevant question is how many millennials actually want these bikes?

    “13 years in and my fathers”

    If you’re an individual buying a used car, how do you actually ask for a PPI from a dealer? I get that you have some experience doing this for other people on high end cars, and they’re probably used to it. But I’m not sure what I should have done when I bought a used GTI a few years ago. I was looking to get the…

    I still kind of don’t understand why most electrics don’t have gearboxes. It would seem to be useful on the highway where you could run lower RPMs, maintain speed, and get more distance out of your batteries. The gearing for an ICE car might not make sense, but couldn’t the gears be specifically designed for an…

    Roady McRoadface

    Oh fuck this nonsense. Eliot Spitzer is an idiot, and New York politicians blow in general. They’re all corrupt, just like in New Jersey, but maybe a little smarter than their Garden State colleagues. Eliot Spitzer is terrible, and we’re really not missing anything without him.

    How about an alt history where Reconstruction didn’t end in 1877? One where the south was forced to integrate, Confederate leaders were punished, civil rights were actually protected, and the Lost Cause never took root. That would be interesting. These ideas aren’t hard to come up with.

    What are the chances it falls apart within a year of rolling out of the factory? I drove a Wrangler for 12 years and they still have a place in my heart, but the build quality was always shit.

    Merkur. It wasn’t necessary, it didn’t last long, and they unceremoniously sent it back to it’s home planet, never to be heard from again.

    In some markets, Netflix is being provided by cable companies. I know that Xfinity makes it available through the cable box in at least some parts of New York. And by “makes it available,” I mean there is no standalone app for Netflix. It’s searchable along with all the other on-demand content, just like HBO,…

    A Porsche Cayenne Turbo S for $85,000! What more could you want? (Note: must be willing to accept Jeep build quality.)

    Man, I hope that’s true. I would love to have an MS6.

    Oy, man, your thinking is closed off. I mean, you’re not seeing all the angles. Keep the big picture in mind. If Uber and Lyft can’t compete with taxis due to cost, that means the demand for taxis increases, because, presumably, people still want to be driven around. Increased demand for taxis, means more taxis,…

    Unionizing adds costs for both Uber and Lyft simultaneously. It ensures there isn’t a race to the bottom. If they can’t compete with taxi companies, that’s their problem, not the drivers’.
