I’m sorry... we (30 year olds) missed the Gen X boat a LOOOOONG time ago. We are the head of the Millennials, no matter how much you or I hate that word. We may have gotten stuck in between technology eras (like remembering the pre-cellphone landline days while still be completely immersed in the current smartphone…

Jupiter Ascending was an awesomely flawed movie. It tried so hard, and you could see and enjoy those moments when everything clicked, but man was it bogged down by some shitty, shitty writing. It also just kinda gave up during the third act. BTW... for a better version of the exact same story, read The Android’s Dream…

You know where sous vide wins? If you live in a tiny apartment and don’t have room for even a gas grill. All you need is a small sous vide setup (mine is a small repurposed countertop deep fryer, so pretty much the size of a crockpot) and a cast iron pan and you’re all set for perfect steak every time. That’s the…

I’ve got a setup kinda like that, just smaller. Industrial PID controller + deep fryer. I originally had it hooked up with slow cooker but those things just aren’t powerful enough for such a large mass of water. 1800W through a deep fryer though... that brings the water up to temp in minutes and then barely uses any…

I disagree about Dirk Gently being awful, but I think it would be a hard book to get into if you weren’t already a fan of Adams. As for the remainder of the HGTTA... Life, The Universe, And everything is probably my favorite behind the first, and Mostly Harmless was good, just way too bleak to finish up with. And…

Its like a Citroen concept mated with the OG Batmobile. Definitely intrigued, but yeah... pure vaporware for now. Just as others said though, Tesla was vaporware forever before the Roadster came out, that was pretty much a beta product through its entire life. Cars take time, much longer than most internet commentors…

Is Uber’s surge pricing a dick move? Yup. Was this guy an idiot? Also yup. Does this cancel out? In this case, I think it almost does. Just like you don’t blame eBay for drunk auction bids you don’t blame Uber for drunk Ubers.

I’d be happy with an RX-8 too, but not too many people are cross-shopping an RX-8 (or equivalent) against a Tesla :P

$30k? Buy a Leaf. $45k? Well... then you might get a Model 3 when it comes out. Tesla’s not about to go downmarket just yet, not with all the R&D costs that have to be recouped.

Remember that Tesla’s current factory in is only running at a fraction of total capacity. At its peak NUMMI (the factory Tesla bought) was producing 6000 vehicles A WEEK, for multiple manufacturers.

Yup... we should, that’s if they weren’t acting like total asshats. Protest is good, even if its a dumb protest. But when you start bringing guns to the party then it stops being a protest and starting be something more threatening (though words like insurrection or rebellion might be a bit strong, and well...…

There’s working a terrible B-movie with shit plot and an idiot director cuz you know you’re gonna get paid and your rent’s due, and working what you know is a pure propaganda puff piece for a corrupt organization. One is “I gotta get paid, and it sucks” and the other is “I wanna get paid, morals be damned”. Tim Roth…

Virtual machines are wonderful things, and when you have the full internal specs to work from it becomes ALOT easier to make a VM that virtualizes the 360’s PPC chip and graphics chip. A lot easier is still fiendishly difficult, but at least its not “Impossible without massive hardware overhead”.

I’m not pissed about the new NSX, I’m pissed that I missed the boat on a Gen1 NSX when I was shopping for my current car back 2007. Back then, they were going for under 30k for a good example. Guess what, I paid 23k for a car that is now worth ~6k. Had I got the NSX, it would now be worth 45k+. That being said... I…

A CX-3speed might be what it would take for enthusiasts to finally like a CUV. Think about it... its pretty much a GTI with AWD and the pretense of offroadability.

Cars like this will need a totally different style of track for them to be truly interesting. When you have that amount of ground effects and power you’re asking for tracks which many times larger, with runouts measuring in the thousands of feet, so that you could actually use all that tech. Imagine a race where you…

Were the Brotherhood voices from the game? They sound like they could have come straight from a Warhammer 40k game instead of Fallout 4...

Haha, yeah... my 94 miata sure is a tank... I still think I’d come out on top in crash between it and a 127 though (unless I end up shiny side down...)

That’s one hell of a stunt driver... Some of those landing on the train looked pretty damn sketchy, and one really sketchy landing = one very hard impact into the dirt, with a side of possibly being RUN OVER BY A TRAIN.

Yup... you can do amazing things with little power if health and safety aren’t your top priorities.
