Aaron rarely thinks outside his little NYC leftist bubble. It’s an ongoing problem for Jalopnik. His post history is basically just a giant public relations arm for anyone spouting union rhetoric or some kind of vendetta against a rich boogeyman. 

Aero engineer here. The simple answer is power density and weight of batteries. Keep in mind that you have to generate enough lift to carry them, in addition to the plane, cargo, and passengers. Given a relatively fixed speed, that means somehow dramatically increasing the coefficient of lift. You can do it for…

I’ll expand on this—*MOST* frequent fliers are business travelers. As Mr. Party said, the tax won’t reduce their travel, it will increase their employers’ expenses. So what it will reduce is their salary, potential for raises, and even likelihood of being hired into a travel-required job in the first place.

Blogging: A career where you can collect revenue by voicing the moral high-ground stance, while also collecting revenue through advertising the very thing you are against.

Counter-point: This is a very stupid idea that should not be used for revenue generation (used for god knows what) nor reduction in air travel.

I have not ridden a bicycle since I was like 15 years old. That doesn’t seem to be a concern in this household. 

yes, the classic deadspin contrarian opinion...literally every journalist, and website for nerds calls it classic. rando blogger Felix Biederman on the other hand has a different palette yes, more refined than the average human and thus he finds Joker to not be as good as Four Brothers.

Weren’t you just trying to buy a right-hand drive Cressida full of bees?

I keep screaming this into the void, but the parsh is good.

It’s not a horrible idea for a ‘road warrior’ - which is what the salesmen in my company like to call themselves (Which is hilarious to me. You’re staying at a Hilton Garden Inn, you're not Mad Max) - provided there isn’t a work around for it only being able to be used when the transmission is in park.

If you haven’t owned one, I know you won’t understand, but these cars are in a category that really only belongs to... well, people who love cars.

I live in Canada, and I know her. A lot of us know her

Just ran into my garage to fix this and to my bewilderment realized that I don't own a porsche.

Okay, but who gets beaned now?  Bryce Harper?

Yes, it would literally kill me to watch it. It would kill the part of me that’s sickened by blog sites using video when text is so much more efficient and accessible. It’s always disappointing to click on a Jalopnik link hoping to learn some information, only to be stymied by another article that’s just a video that…

I’ve heard that rust will reveal the face of David Tracy on the undercarriage

would it kill you to watch it?

“...if I hammered the throttle, there was a tiny bit of hesitation before the electric thrusters shot the Taycan down the street.”

You know the first attraction I built when I came down from Scotland... was a flea circus. Petticoat Lane.Really..quite wonderful. We had uh...a wee trapeze, a merry-go-... carousel.Heh. And a see-saw. They all moved, motorized, of course, but people would say they could see the fleas, “Oh, mummy! I can see the…

I don’t think that is right. It is not 29% of income, someone butchered the 29% factoid along the way. From what I’ve read other places, I think the statement is supposed to be along the lines of “The average American, with employer provided health insurance, pays 29% of the insurance premium; the other 71% is covered…
