Um, Nintendo sold at least a million of those things. It is kind of why they exist today:

Um, Nintendo sold at least a million of those things.

This is Nintendo. Here is some mass produced plastic from 50 years ago worth $300:

Because a ball isn’t a toy, and baseball isn’t a game, right?

Why is it so hard to catch? Electric motors have magnetic fields. Iron filings should stick to the bike frames where the motors are housed.

So, do you use deodorant? Is it because you smell?

The only way to measure the best 0-60 times in an era where computers shift faster than people is to use an automatic, or create a robot shifter that shifts for you in a manual transmission.

You bought a Fiat. How could you expect anything else?

We’ve seen this story before though. Vibe vs Matrix, Prizm vs Corolla, etc. Why would it be different today?

You’re saying you’ll never have an accidental night of insomnia? You’ll never have a kid throw up at 2am and take them to the hospital with a fever of 102 and then come home at 4am, and then go to work at 6am? That you’ll never get sick yourself and then have to leave work early while slightly incapacitated? Or that…

The difference between you and I is I acknowledge my failings. No one can claim they are 100% vigilant, aware, focused, and perfect.

Yes, maybe, but if the parent is a complete asshole, so too should the kid be, and thus necessarily need the red key.

I loved that look on the Volvo; rather, they changed the ratio of the headlamps to 2:1, and pushed the grille out just a bit.

Are Grand Am owners associated with cinder blocks and unmowed weedy lawns?

Here in the US it would be rats or squirrels.

So a rusted out Trans Am.

So you're telling me they were like the Pontiac Trans Am?

Polycrystalline diamond has a fracture toughness of 13, which is okay but not great; couple it with a composite material, like a titanium sleeve (also super lightweight, but featuring a fracture toughness of 44-66) or a steel alloy (not as light, but still a fracture toughness of 50), and you would have something with…

The same is true of carbon fiber. You use the diamond for it’s low weight and high heat dissipation. You use a metal sleeve for the cylinder and high strength materials for the piston heads. It’s no different today when you have an aluminum engine block, or a mix of steel and aluminum:

If we're going down that road then we should be engineering the engine block out of pure diamond.
