Finally, a serious Jalopnik article.

I really enjoyed this. I read the whole thing and don’t have anything cynical to say. I think there’s a place for articles appreciating useful, well-made automotive “things.” I’d love to read more of them (as long as they didn’t turn into sponsored ads).

Now do the same thing with human drivers who don’t know it’s a test.

But the guy lives in New Jersey, which means he has to pay a filling station attendant to come over to his house and plug the car in every night.

That figure seems like complete BS. Is a positive test results really the same as an average case costing $46,000?

That could still be a grey area. Unless you’re out in the middle of nowhere, it leaves whether-or-not you’re an asshole up to your ability to judge distances, inertial momentum, and wind resistance, and your ability to accurately throw (or spit) a lightweight object through a car window, into the target area.

If it ain’t baroque, don’t fix it.

The peasants love it when I give them menial work to do. It makes them feel valued.

Where are you throwing it? If it’s deep into the bushes where no human will ever see it again, OK. If it’s just out your car window, then that’s asshole behavior. Please don’t do that.

I go into my phone settings, search for USB, then click “USB controlled by.” If I change “Use USB for” from “File Transfer” to one of the other options, then back to “File Transfer,” the phone pops up in my Windows explorer.

I will not read a slideshow article. I click on them, curse the demon-spawn who added them to the site, then close the window.

Without the doorbell cam you’d probably come across this and think it was a hate crime or something.

You need to sell a line of Changli merch to fund the repairs and upgrades.

Anyone who makes more than Justin didn’t earn it.

No need to brag about the size of your area, dude.

God bless her. She did a lot of drugs, didn’t she?

The infotainment system won’t allow access to any Disney media until the 11th hour.

Can’t I read just one Lifehacker article without being spit-shamed? Leave my life choices out of this.

I’m not saying it should have been caught sooner. I’m saying it should never have been written b/c the person should have know as they thought about typing it, that doing so would probably get them fired. I believe many, many workplaces operate that way. I just wonder why this one didn’t.

If someone named an internal document with a slur in my office, that person would be written up and possibly fired. How is it not like that everywhere?
