Fuck yeah.

Don’t give up on the dream!

Cairo to Cape Town in a Land Rover Defender. 

The differential in the front axle is open, so if the right-front tire was spinning freely (off camera), the left front won’t turn at all. Also, this is an extremely broken-ass Jeep, it’s totally possible the transfer case was shattered; and, some base model XJs were shipped with rear-wheel drive only, but why you’d…

All this discussion, and not one single reference to Big Bill Hell!? I am disappoint.

Holy shit - when he passes that Lotus Cortina at 2:47 he’s at full-on rally-spec lock!

Thanks for ruining my FUCKING Wednesday.

Damn, dude. Excellent reporting. 

I grew up in Casper, and, despite all those “cowboy up”, “Code of the West” (“#7: Ride for the brand.”, Jesus, FUCK.) gun-waving Libertarian motherfuckers that seem to populate Wyoming’s vast nothingness, they will stop at nothing to suck a corporation’s dick at the first possible chance.

I don’t have time for that given my current projects, but just getting it running, driving, and stopping, and allowing it to stretch its legs a bit isn’t going to hurt it. If anything, it will prevent internal rust buildup, and keep the seals from cracking.

So many Beetles. So many.

WHO VOTES NO ON THIS ENGINEERING MASTERPIECE?! SHOW YOURSELF.

The trolley problem is one of the most flawed ethical thought experiments imaginable, and I’m sick and tired of seeing it trotted out as some kind of gold standard for understanding morality and moral decision-making, human or otherwise.

It’s mind-boggling to me that a study of this magnitude, with a data set this…
