Those rescue guys rule. Tolerant beyond belief. I’m sure they are empathetic people too, but this guys thought process seems pretty fried. That word is getting mangled these days, which is a problem because it’s one of the building blocks of a functional society. Empathy is the ability to see things from someone…

I think the fact the he genuinely seems to not know whether his transmission will leap from the car on trying this is pretty idiotic, but kinda cool...

Heard this the second I read the headline... cracks me up that so did everyone else. It’s eery how appropriate it is, like maybe he’s an actual witch.

The meta is strong with this one...

2 stroke fires the plug twice as often, need to change valve timing to match. (and some engineering trickery to clear the exhaust)

RC enthusiasts have been doing ridiculous stuff for decades, but we knew the risks and in general were very careful/kept it away from populated areas. The rocketry crew are awesome, they really do some crazy shit, but you don’t hear about them doing it near air traffic... Your AMA membership gets you insurance, but…

Please, everybody vote on Tuesday.

Pity it’s such a repulsive application, It’s a very elegant solution.

Woof, repeating yourself is a no-no in good writing. When showing off your vocabulary, repeating unusual words is a major faux-pas. (tl;dr it comes across as pretentious...)

Old school retouching. That was probably hand painted on an overlay then reshot. The whole thing is pretty heavily manipulated, kinda cool. The wheels look almost hand drawn, it’s awesome.

Nope. He was born to drive f1 cars. As illustrated by this article there’s tons of rules and politics and they are part and parcel of the whole thing. Beyond truly incredible talent operating the machine he also plays that game so well there’s a rule named after him. Kid is slaying it...

Whoa...

Sad thing is that this is actually pretty freaking amazing. It’s clear that autonomous cars will happen. But... definitely not there yet. Characterising it as a replacement for a human driver is laughable and just belittles their acheivements. Worse, it muddies the waters around this debate and is downright dangerous.

Hell Yes... I’m into model airplanes and it occurred to me years ago (and I’m sure millions of other geeks) that if you had an upside down wing for a car body it would stick to the road very, very well. Only thing is that by definition you’d end up with a weird gaping hole at the rear of the car!

Anyone that thinks Trump can’t win hasn’t been paying attention.

Your car don’t have a nose-wheelie sensor? Weak, bro...

media != journalism

Please. Your logic and reason has no place in this...
