As far as I can tell, following themed stories here on Jalopnik over the past year or two, this problem of “getting away with murder” in regards to traffic accidents is purely a local problem to New York City. I’ve not heard or seen any where near this depth of trouble with accidents anywhere else in the Union. So ...…

Negligence is not the same as intent. That’s why they are actually two different words. Getting drunk or stoned and then driving is not any indicator of intent to cause harm, just an indicator of negligence.

I’m kinda confused by the bit where you say “dealers get fucked by the manufacturer” ... seems to me from everything I’ve seen on Jalopnik, it’s the other way around. Other than that, carry on.

You’re right in thinking that there are more appropriate trailers for hauling such equipment ... however, you seem to not be clear on some of the facts that were given in the article (or are sufficiently commonly known as to often remain unsaid) — specifically that was a Russian transport since Crimea is technically…

Stupidest piece of clickbait garbage yet on Gizmodo ... it’s not a firearm by any stretch of the imagination. It’s not even a fecking airgun ... it’s a RUBBER BAND GUN. Holy fuck, you can make your own fucking “poison dart gun” out of nothing more complicated than old cardboard, pine scraps, and rubber bands. In fact,…

And now it is illegal, like this article says, to share the 3D printing schematics of firearms.

I don’t know about you, but I was alive and cognizant of the world around me in 1975. There was no hue and cry, no sturm und drang, and certainly no consensus, scientific or political, that there was any kind of “ice age” coming. But to your credit, I do know that in the 1970’s there was plenty of ignorant…

What do you need HDMI port for?

Well, I go to Gizmodo main page and start scrolling down ... each interesting article gets a right-click-open-in-new-tab. I go and go and go until I’ve got somewhere between 15 and 20 tabs open, then start reading, closing them as I finish. I get to the last one, and restart on the Gawker main page.

It’s all semantics after all, but since we’re arguing anyways let’s go here: what exactly and precisely to they mean by “cleared it’s neighborhood”? Is that phrase verbatim from the IAU’s official definition or is that just a cheeky one-off by the writer of this article? And prior to the first re-definition (in ‘05…

Ummm ... isn’t that how it ALWAYS worked in the past, before the agency was gutted and resorted to simply “allowing” carmakers to be the judge and jury over their own safety defect issues?

I can’t believe all the stars your (sorry, but gotta say it) ignorant post got. The AP report is linked ... had you clicked said link, you would have been able to read these aspects of the story that Stassa unwisely left out:

You must have never experienced the joy of the 60/40 split front bench with pillowtop upholstery and power driver’s seat like I had in my 77 Olds Cutlas Supreme Brougham ;-)

Both the WW1 and WW2 uniforms look like someone found some original uniforms mothballed in some old footlocker for the last three quarters of a century ... totally faded and worn out. I’m pretty sure that in both of those cases, the uniforms were quite a LOT greener when issued. WW1 doughboys did not look that shitty.…

I can’t get angry over other people’s stupidity.

Could you do us a solid and replace “value” with “cost” up there? There is a factual and conceptual difference. There is little value in housing in Frisco and York, but the fact remains that the cost is ridonkulously high.

Sometimes the toy makers put out something that becomes popular, hence collectible, and hence appreciating on the secondary market, and then stab the market in the back by re-releasing toys that were originally sold as limited edition items.

as evidenced by the frenzy around SDCC exclusives (most of which will be on eBay for 3x the price within a week).

What’s discriminatory about it? And even if it is, how is that a bad thing? Do you not discriminate when you choose one restaurant over another, or should you be required to spend the same amount of money at every restaurant in town regardless of your desires or needs?
