Tugboats are fascinating. Just giant, floating engines. Modern ones use propulsion systems like 360 degree thrusters or Voith Schneider Propellers (VSPs), which are fascinating:

No, man, this isn’t a piece shitting on the Richest Man In The World, this is a piece shitting upon some really awful UX decisions. Sad is not being able to deal with actual valid critiques of technology without feeling like it’s an attack on Elon Musk, who I suspect will weather this onslaught just fine.

2CV raids are still a thing :

They also sell more Ypsilons in Italy than the entire range of Alfa Romeos sells in the whole of Europe!

I contest your premise: there are no useless car facts. Torch would vouch for this in between researching VW taillights.

There must be a requirement between welding properly and beard growth. For example, David Tracey, small beard, low welding skills. Myself, moderate beard, moderate welding skills. This glorious man in the photo? Amazing welds. The conclusion? Santa would be the greatest welder ever

You didn’t mention any vehicle being involved, which leads me to only one conclusion;

I really don’t think a space ship exploding could be described as “perfect” by any reasonable definition of the word.

Speaking of stans......

What makes you think that? It’s the only one in existence. It would be really weird if they would not maintain it properly. Building a new one would be economically impossible.
By now, it’s decades old so i guess they’re maintaining it just fine.

Antonov, the manufacturer and operator (through subsidiaries, IIRC), is a Ukrainian company. The plane was built by the Soviet Union in Kiev/Kyiv, but it was never “Russian,” as Antonov’s operations have been based in Ukraine for most of the company’s history.

It’s hardly a looker like a Tesla Model 3

Now with smallpox blanket interior !

It’s such a one-dimensional, narrowminded, troglodytic notion of car enthusiasm too. Mashing the ‘Go pedal’ and going fast isn’t the only way to appreciate cars.

Can we go ahead and start the petition to include an underground section in the TT? Those bikes would sound lovely exiting a 180 degree roundabout turn at full throttle.

There’s a whole world that doesn’t live on your street.

Starred for admirable brevity, concision, and succinctness.

Well, you’re technically correct (the best kind of correct), but for most people that’s just as extreme as the coldest winter they’ve experienced in their entire life, if not more (it’s certainly more extreme than anything I ever lived through, the coldest temperatures I’ve experienced in my 38 years walking this…

That may be true of early ‘70s US vehicles, but don’t forget that the rest of the world mostly still uses COE today.
