a plucky band of pirates slapping together a satARRRlite and lARRRunching it on a RARRRRcket

during target killings (read: assassinations) of terrorists

Literally nothing you describe is unique to young people.

Yeah, our dearest author coulda spent an extra minute to add some clarifying context. I went to the cop’s tweeter and watched it there ... the small sedan was in the HOV lane and the hatchback comes rolling up on sedan’s tail, then Mr (or Ms) Hatchback suddenly swerves to the right, passes the sedan, cuts back in…

I think it’s not so much about stopping the initial bad actor, but more about hindering the copycats / promoters who re-post that kinda shit. But I don’t see how they’re gonna manage it effectively. They really need to stop bad livestreams as they occur and I don’t see how that is even remotely possible unless they’ve…

The GS definitely holds value better than many other Beemers but at this price you could find a much newer more capable example.

Why is it that reports such as this always always always imply if not downright claim that it’s the fault of the food seller that the lardass with heart disease keeps buying the most unhealthy options available? FFS, people, it’s time to fucking sack up and take responsibility for one’s own choices. Nobody makes…

I can’t say I use a lot of services that require hard core or cutting edge security ... I guess my bank would be the main one. But of any/all services I access or know other who use, that touch money or ‘private data’, I am aware of exactly none that you can use Google Authenticator let alone a hardware key as part of…

waste such a finite supply of an nonrenewable source

Wow ... there is absolutely nothing new here. All of the fantastical ideas and notions presented above have already been told and explained and dwelt upon in science fiction stories over the past several decades. Well, crap, since the invention of sci-fi actually. And that’s what? Well over a century now (H.G.Wells’…

impressive job of taking some serious missteps with its heritage nameplates<snip> now it’s coming for the Trailblazer name

The C2 is the pinnacle of Corvette styling.

Oh lord, I had totally forgotten that Maddox existed! I used to read his shyte religiously 15 or so years ago, lol. I even bought one of his books, the ‘Alphabet of Manliness’ if I recall correctly. Whatever. And whadaya know, his page is still up and being periodically updated.

Umm ... did you not read the comment you replied to? The gas engine is a ‘range extender’. It is used solely to generate electricity. It does not provide any motive force to this vehicle. Maybe it’ll “drink gas like an alcoholic” but you won’t be hurting for horses or torques since those will be coming from the…

I haven’t seen much discussion yet of the capital costs ... the cars themselves cost. Right now, the “contractor-drivers” provide their own cars. They provide their own maintenance. In Uber’s fantasy future of full automation, Uber will have to provide the cars. And maintain those cars. And that is simply gonna cost…

Love Elements. Own an Element. Would not pay anywhere near 15 large for an 11 year old car with over 200k on the clock. This thing might tickle my fancy at half that price, but no more.

if you’re wearing a shitty helmet that offers no effective face protection

I can see the 4 to 8 week notice if you’re a friggin C level executive jumping ship and there’s a possibility of negotiating a going-away package / dealing with NDA’s & non-compete contracts ... but if you’re a W2 employee, one second more than 2 weeks notice is absolutely insane.

The biggest failure of comprehension is people thinking ‘6 pack abs’ are a result of enhanced musculature ... they are not, they are the result of extremely low body fat. The muscles are there, just under a layer of fat. Get rid of the fat to see the muscles.

I’d rather it be pictures and text even though I could play videos at work. I want pictures and text because the video presentations on all Gizmedia venues simply suck. I love Torch’s writing, but I will not sit through a video presentation with him. He may not totally suck at presenting, but the video itself still…
