I mean, it was effectively a Beetle which were fun to look at but also garbage to drive.

I mean, getting ejected from Malaysia ended up working out really well for Singapore.  They have a higher GDP per capita than the U.S., although they have significantly restricted civil liberties compared to the U.S.

Rapid descents aren’t that bad. I’ve been involved in one for a similar situation. The pitch of the engines changes as they throttle back, there is a slight and brief feeling of negative g’s when the pilots (or auto pilot) pushes the nose over, but that’s it. A few seconds after that the descent is established and the…

This. ^^^

Assuming they were at cruise altitude of 35,000ft, the instant the flight crew received a pressurization warning the likely donned their oxygen masks and busted out their “loss of pressurization” checklist (although some of that checklist might be memory items)

Regardless, once they established oxygen flow and…

Cops (actually Michigan DNR) at the beaches we go to use quads.  Seems like they’re better suited to that sort of mission.

That’s a good call out, but yes, I’ve tested both. I have a carbon frame so I’m assuming that’s why I don’t get any signal loss.

Depends on where you live. I live in the Chicago area. Hardtails are great. If I lived in Colorado, I wouldn’t consider one at all.

Woof. That’s a big question. I think at some point if you have the right fundamentals on a bike then it just becomes a matter of marginal gains with price increase (some wide margins, some narrow), but riding and trail style factors in as well.

For example, if you’re willing to spend around $1k on a new hardtail mountai…

As the owner of a current gen Scott Spark 910, this is one of my biggest fears (fortunately I don’t live anywhere close to Silicon Valley).

I have both an AirTag and a Tile hidden inside my frame, as well as an “If Found please contact...” label rolled up and tucked into my handlebar.

Not sure the latter would help at…

I have questions. First off, why didn’t the IndiGo aircraft execute a go-around?  They had to have seen the Air India aircraft roll on to the runway...

Sure, but in legit transactions the vehicle is titled in *your name* with the bank listed as a lien holder. You legally own the car, but the bank has a lien on it until you finish paying off the loan and can repo if you don’t

If the BHPH place didn’t actually put the title in the lady’s name, then that could explain…

This is fair. My argument based on the anecdotal evidence of 1 is as ludicrous as Bradley’s. It was a visceral knee jerk reaction to a dumb statement.

Cycling is as dangerous as you make it. And as Saigon_Design points out these drivers are likely adrenaline junkies and could be quite possibly sending it over shit they…

Riding bicycles is incredibly fucking dangerous

You know what would be even cooler than a clutch on an EV?

A clutch on a CT4.

I mean, Mach-E is a fine name. They should have just stopped there.

I’m in a suburb of Chicago. Homes fitting your description with 2k square feet on 1/4 acre lots start around $600k.

Ha. This article just goes to remind me of how old the family fleet is. Other than the smoking bits and the crank windows, our cars have just about everything on this list. Model years 2023, 2011, 2006, and 2006.

Before we bought one of the ‘06 cars (that’s the kids car) we test drove an ‘18 Kia Rio with a 6 speed…

Fortunately, it looks like that system never made it to the R171 chassis, but I’ll probably pull the negative lead anyway.  Just in case.

I’m about to order parts to do the brakes on my wife’s ‘06 SLK. Pads, rotors, brake hoses with shipping is about $400. Figure my time is worth another...I dunno...200 bucks?

When it’s clean, and in the sun with the top up, and you squint really hard, it looks like an SLR.
