I don’t think even Texas allows open carry inside the airport; but I see your point.

#Trump2016

I guess this is probably the best narrative the Trump campaign can employ to try and stop the hemorrhaging from that comment; but it’s still not a very good one. The best they can manage here is “our guy isn’t capable of expressing his views clearly enough that most Americans can tell if he’s calling for violence or

I don’t think the idea of trailers with batteries is going to take off. I think, for the most part, the clients own the trailers and the trucking companies do not. It would be hard to market a truck that required every potential client to buy a new, very expensive trailer.

I think it’s more likely that Tesla is going

Okay, this guy is a allowed to drive while using a cell phone...but no one else!

I’m going to wait for the F-35B model...she does things the other models won’t do.

Still, even though this crash turned out alright for everyone in the end, the takeaway is: the cars actually can get over those barriers in the right conditions.

Ostensibly, those fences are there because during an actual race there might be a crowd on the other side. I think that’s why this is scary.

My impression is this company doesn’t have the technology yet, but they honestly believe they are getting close and are trying to raise capital to finish. Maybe they will fail, maybe they will succeed, but the idea is sound.

There’s nothing about this design that sounds too out of place. They aren’t claiming to have developed anything revolutionary, it’s all sounding like a clever integration of existing technologies. Gas turbine engines are used all over the place: helicopters, tanks, APU’s for airliners, building power backups. If you

Aha! I’ve been saying for years we should be building these types of engines. Gas turbines provide excellent power to weight ratios and very good fuel consumption. The reason we don’t use them to power vehicles directly is that they don’t deliver low level of power very efficiently, and it takes a lot of fuel just to

This kind of reminds me of the “unintended acceleration” case from Toyota from some years back, where people claimed their cars took off without any input from them. I always wondered, why didn’t they just turn off the ignition? Are we really taking the line that people have no responsibility for understanding how

Just to play devil’s advocate here: it’s not impossible that what they said does excuse this kind of behavior. If that driver of that car legitimately feared for their safety from the motorcyclists, and that was the only viable escape route, I could see a case being made. Granted, that’s a pretty unlikely scenario.

Really it’s most areas that are not cities. Once the density goes down, people seem to behave better on the roads. I live in the North Bay, and as soon as I cross the Golden Gate bridge I can feel myself switch into “city mode” where I start driving more aggressively to maneuver through heavier traffic, and as far as

At 1:45 one of the guys has something on his hip, it’s probably a phone but it might have been a little glock or something, it’s pretty bury.

Apparently the 2016 Tundra he has now is the 16th Tundra he’s owned in his lifetime. Big fan of the brand!

Great! Because what I was really hoping for was an FPS where I wait in the trenches doing nothing for 3 months and then die from influenza.

Sure, and the A-10 was primary tasked with taking out columns of T-72 and T-80 MBTs; but that’s not what it’s doing today.

I’m willing to give them the slightest benefit of the doubt. It’s very possible right now to hack into someone’s car and engineer a situation in which people are killed. I wouldn’t bat an eyelash at a life sentence for someone who did that; then again, that’s probably already covered under existing murder laws.

I thought that the F-35 was equipped with a 25mm GAU-12 cannon as well? I’m sure it won’t hold as many rounds as the A-10's ~1,300 and they are slightly smaller, but I would assume they are up to the kind of tasks they are facing now against lightly armored vehicles.
