Complicating matters is the fact that automakers (and their suppliers) can't test every single phone on the market.

Cool idea bro. Patent it, build it, sell it. Do it now, go.

Don't change your style, Steve, that sentence was a thing of beauty. Still doesn't compare to Kant who could write about 200 words in a single sentence ;-)

Ummm ... where's the anachronism (aside from the jibe at obese Americans) ? That quote you clipped from SL's post contains no metric (weights & measures) terms at all. Pounds was the British currency, and pounds was also then part of the standard British system of weights.

"Broad" meant to signify attractiveness? Where did you ever get that idea?

Damn clickbait / bait-n-switch blog title ... I came here expecting to see some new HELMET designs, as in the actual design of the helmet itself, not PAINT JOBS AND LOGOS.

How is 'becoming a Scanner' a downside? I'd pay extra for that!

Oddly enough ... I fully cognizantly understand that SouthPark's animation style as well as artwork is inherently shitty, but I also feel (emotionally? intuitively?) that both aspects of the show are done to be intentionally ironic (which would be valid in their case since they did it before irony was popular ;-) )…

Oh, cmon! That lady took 5 tries to get it right, and no reasonably intelligent being takes more than 3 tries to plug in a USB cord! First try fail, turn it over, fail, turn it over again it goes in (because it was oriented properly the first time, we're just lame).

That's kinda sorta where I was heading ... implication-wise. If you think cartoons are stupid or childish, your gonna thing anime is stupid or childish. Personally I like cartoons that are specifically created to be intentionally funny whether or not you consider their subject matter to be childish ... I also happen…

The biggest problem I have with Muricans going through all this soul searching trying to find the ultimate clarifying description for these "categories" is that so many people utterly and completely disregard what the word actually means in its original language. Case in point: "anime" means "animated" (which, by the…

Jeeminy Christmas, how is this so hard a concept for some people? You nailed the definition with 100% pinpoint accuracy, and having known that factual definition myself since the first time it was ever used on American soil, I cannot begin to understand why the question was even tendered in this place/day & age.

The word "cartoon" has negative stigma attached but "anime" doesn't? In what world?

Totes on board with your line of reasoning ... I've been treated very nicely and politely and courteously in a few of my interactions with cops, and I've also been treated like dog shit in a few, and I'm the same person in either case. I've been called a liar and accused of [potential?] DUI by a CHiP who pulled me…

Ummm ... when you say 'driving without a stop for' 40 years do you mean he's been driving continuously for that time or that he hasn't been pulled over in that time?

I think it's more a matter of good taste / common sense overcoming the urge to produce another stupidly ugly anime-inspired useless turdmobile like so many concepts the Asians are spitting out ... have you seen the new Maxima? Fugly with a capital Holy Shit that's one stupidly ugly thing. :-)

Interesting. Okay, I would gladly believe that there were hundreds of thousands of _cases_ worldwide, but deaths? Are all these deaths in poverty stricken 3rd world countries with no modern medicine at all? Do you know any trustworthy web sources that provide the factual data as well as analysis (as opposed to a web…

Measles once killed hundreds of thousands of people

"Faceless turd"? Really, you're gonna be like that now? Jeez, much sand in your vagina? Am I "faceless" to you because I don't have a photo of myself in my profile? And without a face, must therefore be a piece of feces? By that logic, you are a talking car. I can't see how that makes your position any stronger.
