You calling it a hamberder on purpose and if yes is there a funny story about that you can share? Genuinely curious.

It’s baffling that they can charge that much. The little taco shop near work(which happens to be in a former Taco Bell building, complete with functioning bell) gets $2 for a “Super taco” which is your standard street taco, but twice as big and comes with avocado. Sticking to national chains, Del Taco charges less and…

Cool joke bro. Are you disputing that these people take NRA money or that the NRA is being investigated for laundering Russian money?

Kevin did say the article was about the race to the bottom!

On a similar vein, earlier today Jake Tapper thought he had a brilliant gotcha moment on Pete Buttigieg when, after 10 minutes of a thoughtful exchange on gun violence and white nationalism enabling, he brought up that the El Paso shooter represents a case where most of the US population would support death penalty as…

Beto, after the September debate, gracefully bow out of the race and declare that you are going to devote all of your efforts to unseating John Cornyn. Yeah, it’s a long shot, but it’s not as long a shot as you winning presidential primary, and you have a voice and clarity about defending the people of Texas that is…

As someone who struggles with mental illness every day—in myself and other family members, some of whom have been institutionalized at one time or another —I have one thing to say: Stop. Just stop. You look fucking ridiculous.

Well, as a person who suffers from depression, bipolar, and anxiety, I don’t feel attacked. I like it, actually. It’s his best skin, maybe tied with the Talon epic skin. I don’t really see a reason to be upset. He’s a villain. They’re not saying all mentally ill people are like him. They have a host of villains who…

There’s an article in Car and Driver today explaining that the reason for the lack of a manual is because they built the car around the tunnel, so punching a hole in it for a manual would compromise structural integrity.

Found the salty boomer.

yes they are

A lot of folks don’t even drive.

Realistically, the ratio of autos to manuals for something like a Corvette would have probably been the same for boomers and the younger generations, just for different reasons. The winga-dinga crowd is old and can’t be bothered to change their own gears anymore, while the younger crowd knows that you need the DCT to…

This is almost certainly the best take here. I’m a young Gen-Xer and this is the first Corvette that I’m attracted to in *years*. No, that’s not quite right. The first in *decades*.

My boomer parents learned to drive on manual transmissions, and drove manuals for years. They just laugh and laugh when I suggest they drive a manual again. As soon as autos were “good enough” they switched, and never looked back.

Boomers are whatever you want them to be, you radical Gen Xer you.

This (and the generation that followed) was an aspirational car for me.

Unfortunately there’s no good quality copies left, but The Secret Life of Machines was a brilliant series for teaching basic science and engineering to, well anyone really. Well worth a binge watch.

To really get moving, you need to power your car with something with a better power-to-weight ratio. While something like the uranium out of a breeder reactor, with a specific energy of 80,620,000 megajoules per kilogram, would surely get you going in a hurry

If Ferrari really wanted to blow our minds they would come out with something like a Miata for $50k.
