Lucky you were working on relatively modern hardware. Back in the old days your shit would be completely fried if you did that.

Same with overclocking. These days the thing will just go into thermal over-load protection if it gets too hot. Restart, fiddle with the BIOS, everything is fine. Back in the early 2000's,…

Haha, yea, the proportions on the new 737 MAX are pretty wacky. That fuselage sure has come along way from the ultra-low-bypass (lol) JT8D days:

“I was proud to serve as a loadmaster.”

Much respect. Loadmaster is one of those jobs that doesn’t get thought about much until it goes wrong. Makes me think of that bone-chilling crash of National Airlines Flight 102 in Afghanistan; the most frightening example I know of as to why a loadmaster’s duties are deadly …

A CX5 with the CX9's turbo AWD drivetrain would be fucking amazing. I would totally forgive Mazda for never doing a Mazdaspeed 3 or 5 if they made that car instead.

It hurts so bad that they’ll never do it, they could pull it off so easily. Parts bin special; just throw a couple million dollars at it, nothing fancy.…

Kanye has always been talentless. Rhymefest wrote everything that brought him his initial success.

RWD in Denver. What’s not to like?

Subaru could make the STI engine 1000x better just by throwing a WRX crank in it:

“Especially if you want to focus on late years genX and millenials who’s primary form of social interaction is participating in a virtual echo chamber while having virtually no influence on society at large.”

OMG, fucking same. Screens in a high-end luxury car look cheap and tacky as fuck. Goddamn microwave ovens have full-color LCD screens now.

Some day, in the near future, a full suite of legit mechanical gauges will be the mark of super-luxurious cars.

Flame suit for what? You’re exactly right. VW totally and utterly screwed the pooch when they cheapified their product line. Some corporate executives got it into their heads that they could (and should) take on the likes of Toyota. That combination of hubris and arrogance was palpable in the products that followed.

Don’t forget the huge, fake, not-round, chrome exhaust tips!

They hyper-rich don’t buy regular-ass supercars like Ferrari 458's and Lamborghini Huracans. They buy a lot more classic cars and crazy bespoke hypercars from the likes of Pagani and Koeneggsegg, or they buy the special projects made by more pedestrian supercar brands like Ferrari and McClaren (F12 TDF, P1, 918, etc).

F…

White people don’t voluntarily sign up to to join the White People forces so that they can get paid to oppress black people.

Cops, on the other hand, do exactly that. Therin lies the difference.

No. That rich man doesn’t spend his dollars. Not the vast majority of them, anyway. He invests them and hides them away in tax-shelters so that they can grow ever-larger without benefiting a single person other than himself.

Trickle-up economics, only chumps work for their money.

“and they will be losing hundreds of dollars of diesel sales for each one of the battery-powered big rigs that stop in to recharge.”

Why should they care? Fuel stations themselves make virtually no money at all off of fuel sales. The margins are tiny, they earn only a few cents per gallon. Fuel is just what gets…

WAY over a year! Those 2014 models have been sitting around four years! They’ll need tons of parts replaced right from the get-go. The tires will be dry-rotted, all the fluids will be bad, many gaskets and bushings will have perished. These discounts would barely cover parts and labor on all the work these cars will…

I tell anyone who will listen to lop off 10% of their car-buying budget and set it aside for fluids, tires, bushings, wheel bearings, shocks, brakes, etc. If they’ve got a really small budget I insist on even more than 10%

Holy shit, that’s genius!

Yes, because black people always reach for a cop’s gun before they get shot. It’s not like Walter Scott was shot in the back as he was fleeing in terror or anything.
