Saying a car that REQUIRES more attentiveness is safe is like saying a razor is safer than safety scissors, in that it is wrong. If people can’t give enough attention in automatics, giving them three more things to do in the car won’t help. Manuals are not safer, they’re just also not more dangerous.

Re: A Trade Is A Trade
No, this one’s real. Go into the dealer with your funding already secured, don’t play games with the 4-square sheet, don’t argue with them about financing, don’t tell them you have a trade until you’ve hammered out the price for the car, because anything they give on the trade above what they can…
Yep, he needs mental health assistance (seriously, two tours in Afghanistan, we need to care for our veterans) and banned from gun ownership.
Smooth flat tires are great for racing on a smooth, flat, dry racetrack. You lower the air pressure to get a larger contact patch between the tire and the ground. A larger contact patch allows the car to put more energy directly into the ground via the tire to propel it forward faster. If you look at a funny car…
Clickbait! The only thing on this list that’ll die is hydrogen cars, and they’re already dead. The rest is either stupid or, um, no, nevermind, the rest were all dumb too.
DKR is better than DK, which is better than Batman Begins. QED.
I’m NOT a Musk defender, but I hate this line: “Should’ve Built in the First Place”
They tried something new. It failed, and didn’t cost them anything. This was a useful experiment.
Yes, you are permitted to ignore these stories whenever you wish. No need to ask permission.
No, that’s the 80s cadillac sedan with ultralow profile rims that cost more than the car.
Her wealth doesn’t mean he’s not a sack of shit. He IS, he’s been known to be a sack of shit for decades.
We need to move forward with that anti-breeding plan that would wipe out all Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.
“Ducks are force-fed to develop a larger liver, which is then removed and pureed.”
Ducks and geese are forcefed by shoving long funnels down their throats and pumping in half to a full pound of ground corn several times a day, starts at half a pound, it’s increased as the animal gains weight. The birds are locked in…
I’ve lived in GA for 13 years. I have yet to meet a single person (who doesn’t work there) who likes that they’re closed on Sunday or thinks it’s useful/good/etc. It’s just virtue signaling, and the people who are supposed to respond to it don’t even like it.
I fly Southwest almost exclusively, they’re great. This story was about a jerk customer, not the airline itself.
ODD isn’t real. ODD is a bullshit disorder made up to put strong kids in boxes and make them easier to control. The core conceit to ODD is that the parents are right without actually bothering to find out, and how to make the child bend to that will. These kids may have real behavioral health issues, but ODD isn’t one…
No, American Beauty absolutely was the best film that year by a huge margin. Insider was good, but not AB good. AB is a once a decade film.
Like a lot fo folks, some of these are TERRIBLE ideas. DO NOT clean your phone, tablet, or ANY plastic of glass screen with these sponges, they’ll rip off the oleophobic coating, and possibly cause sratches. Don’t clean your computer keyboard with it either, it’ll rub off the letters. Silver? NO, you’re riping off the…
No, this is a true solution to the problem. The problem wasn’t the shaking, the problem was the astronauts couldn’t read the screen DURING the vibrations. That’s been fixed. The vibration itself isn’t a problem, it just caused one.
I use teflon coated pans. They’re fantastic. I cook up whatever I’m cooking, pop it out, and while the pan is still very hot run it under the faucet. The water boils, pulling all the crap off the pan in seconds, give it a wipe out, and I’m done. The high temp and hot water clean it up perfectly, and I don’t have to…
He pulls out his gun before being fired on, but he clearly didn’t shoot first. I don’t know how you miss the arm coming out the other car’s driver window and the BANG before this guy fires.
