It has always baffled me how freely people associate their Facebook profile with third-party sites, like it was some sort of trusted master internet profile. Maybe it’s because I’ve never trusted Facebook’s M.O. when it comes to harvesting personal data, but I don’t see how people can be shocked when they learn that…

If I’d made the argument that ICE cars were inherently safer than Teslas, or never catch fire, your point might be cogent. But I did not.
So, Elon... What happens in that skinny-ass tunnel when it’s jammed full of cars and one of the sleds breaks down? Or even any air handling systems. What about all that exhaust? Oh, I see... this is just for Tesla owners, right? Good thing those never, ever catch fire, cause that might be a bad thing in a tightly…
Your use of “they” as a gender-neutral pronoun is confusing. As readers were unclear at first about whether the pilot was solo, the first “they” suggests that perhaps both pilots were asleep. After that, it’s just jarring.
As I’ve said elsewhere, this story is a public service. The fact that someone searching for “Tyler Chevrolet” of Niles, MI, will learn that their car will likely be abused by the still-employed joyrider, and that Tyler Chevrolet service manager Dale Patzkowsky is a lying scumbag? That’s all the justification that this…
Exactly. If there’s one thing I won’t tolerate, it’s blatant dishonesty, like this manager demonstrated (warming the tires? Really?). I wouldn’t work for a liar, live with one, or vote for one (so 2016 just wasn’t my year). So I sure as hell won’t buy a car from one. And, believe it or not, I’ve dealt with a few…
Yeah, no. They get out mid afternoon.
I don’t have a dog, but I do have kids. And I don’t like the kids having to be out waiting for the bus in the dark. But I’m more concerned about those kids who walk to school. As it is, that only happens for a couple weeks before DST ends. But make DST all year long, and that’s going to be one long, dark winter of…
I beg to differ your... differing.
Yeah, I was also hoping this meant a new HD edit from the original film footage.
And that example may be a good case of why context is important. As a northerner, the closest Civil War battlefield is Gettysburg, and I wouldn’t assume that all Gettysburg confederate re-enactors are of the “noble slaveowner” mentality. But if I saw confederate uniforms in GA? Yeah, I might jump to another conclusion.
Nah... It’s a free Internet, and I’m free to click and opine wherever I see fit. But thanks for sharing!
They are indeed. Honestly, the purist in me would have preferred that this Texan had been properly dressed in its correct US (or maybe even Canadian?) markings. But, now that I’ve finally been able to get through to the Condor Squadron site, I see that they’ve preserved what look like several Texans in correct-looking…
Good details, and I don’t doubt that it has been coopted by neo-nazis in Germany. I don’t dispute the nazi association any more than I would ever argue that the swastika hasn’t been forever corrupted, despite its long and innocent history before the 1930s. And I question the intentions, or at least the wisdom, of the…
True, and I if I saw it tattooed to the neck of some skinhead MFer, I’d cross the street for sure. But in a plane that participates in gistorical-ish mock dogfights? Not even remotely the same thing

Splitting hairs? If that’s another way of saying “telling the truth”, then sure. Look up the Wikipedia entry for the current German military aircraft insignia. Hee, I’ll save you the effort: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_aircraft_insignia
Some may, but in large, no - most historical reenactors are “probably mostly” interested in accurately depicting moments of history. I wouldn’t make such broad and baseless assumptions about groups of people. But then, you "probably mostly" do.
