When Industry says there are not enough people, what they mean is not enough at the wages they are willing to pay.

The one detail that I’m curious about is this: Does the Tesla system require the driver to keep or periodically place hands on the wheel? I know that most, if not all, the other major car manufacturers who offer radar guided cruise control + lane assist DO have sensors in the steering wheel and will set off an alarm…

Anybody know what those tunes were he was using?

If you want to “just hear a song” then turn on the radio or cd player. This guy is not a DJ in the old ‘slappin a piece a vinyl down and sitting back for 3.5 minutes’ kind of way. Referring to these guys as “DJs” can be confusing to olds like me, but there you have it. What this guy and his ilk really oughta be called…

There’s DJs and there’s DJs ... people of my generation (hint, I’m old) think of a DJ as someone who plays (not “creates”) music. This kind of DJ’s sole purpose is to play the music the audience wants to hear and in the case of a privately hired jockey playing at a wedding reception or some such similar event the…

I don’t get where this “beloved” adjective comes from. I saw the original Ghost Busters in a movie theater, I liked it enough that I bought the DVD when it came out a couple decades later just to share it with my kids, but “beloved”?

Thirty some years ago this schtick was fresh and funny. I was there. So it and/or he hasn’t aged well, same can be said for just about every comedian under the sun. And speaking of 1984's Rodney Dangerfield’s 9th Annual Young Comedians Special, did you know that Bob Saget has returned to standup? He’s not the same…

“In my experience, once a manipulator is exposed, all the social power shifts from the manipulator to the intended victim,” Nail said.

historically been seen as very white and very male. Go to your next Cars and Coffee meet up and just look around if you don’t believe me. You see young people at Cars and Coffee, but that’s about it.

Also also ... “a 28-minute Hyperloop ride” is the ride itself; don’t forget the time & effort & cost to get to / check in at / check out of / get away from the Hyperloop station (Loopport?) at either end.

I saw an early trailer for it at my local theater sometime last year, and the first thing that went through my head was “Why on god’s green earth are they advertising a Big Fucking Gun as some kind of kid’s movie?!?!?”

Thank you for pointing out that specific example. I’m not very learned on the different types of medieval armor that existed, but when I hear “knights in shining armor” I typically envision a full suit, not that half-plate or ‘plate mail’ that the guys in the videos were wearing. I’m picturing the kind of armor that…

Your average daily driver “sports” car is not really track rated.

Jeezus, you were like the 3rd or 4th person to reply to shpuker, but the first to point out the GLARING MATH ERROR ... this is a sad state we live in when the internetters are accepting someone’s “gotcha” for “bad math” when in fact the one doing the ‘gotcha’ i.e., shpuker, is the bonehead who can’t math straight.

It’s called “content aggregation” ... so why are you here? I go through the G.M. sites to see interesting stories and *if* it’s a real news item and is interesting enough, I might go look for an original source report, but for cheesy unimportant crap like ‘how to jimmy a lock’ why would I? I don’t surf youtube, it’s a…

Who on God’s Green Earth could possibly say that Transformers movies AREN’T for kids?!?!?!? Nobody over the age of 12 can (or at least should) have the slightest complimentary thing to say about the series. They are absolute sub-B-grade movies, designed specifically for prepubescent children only.

Nice lawn jockey. Haven’t seen one of those used non-ironically (i.e.,placed in a manner indicating someone seems to think it’s a viable lawn ornament) in decades.

Ya know what would have been cooler? If someone took a bunch of plastic models (i.e., Revell or Tamiya, the old fashioned shit kids used to buy in hobby stores when such a thing existed) and modded them up in a dystopic Mad Max style. I used to do that kinda stuff with models when I was a kid ... usually putting tank…

This is/was/will be a Finnish legal case executed in a Finnish court. Does the Finnish legal system have the same requirements and methodologies as the US? All these arguments about process service here in the comments appear to be from a US legal perspective, at least in that not one so far has mentioned the Finnish…

I find it interesting, this choice of fuel. When I was a young’un here in suburban California, we didn’t have potato cannons, we made tennis ball cannons. Three or four campbell’s soup cans duct taped end to end, and the accelerant of choice was lighter fluid (the kind used for barbecues, not cigarette lighters).…
