[Whispering quietly, in the corner]: i still like the name Boaty McBoatface

Burgers topped with giardiniera and celery salt!

These Chicago guys are going to start selling deep-dish Whataburgers and making their queso out of mootzarell. 

Why would you have to fear destroying the gearbox? Transitioning to the other side of the car takes no time. The shift pattern is the same, the pedal arrangement is the same. The biggest PITA is that you have to pull way out to see before you overtake, and the aforementioned drive through issue

If by “heaven” you mean I’d have to be dead to get in it, I agree.

Oh Jesus Christ no, that is not the biggest annoyance about open offices.

Gizmodo: “So what can you do with this magnet?”
Magnet scientist: “Well... make more magnets, of course.”

Trucks are the internet porn of vehicles. People are like “Nah, I don’t need that” and then open their browser at 2am and go to the RAM configurator.

You want a ghost car? Because that is how you get a ghost car.

Counterpoint: There are way more people that wouldn’t speak up, than would.

I hate these companies more than anybody I know for clogging the sidewalks and turning a blind eye to the behavior of their riders, but even I draw the line at cut brakes (and yeeting them into bodies of water with aquatic life, for that matter—these garbage-piles are pretty toxic!).

Even the dumbest questions here are still sharper than nearly all the questions supposedly submitted to The Salty Waitress.

Lol I never noticed that...I’ll try to maintain that pattern because let’s face it even if the question is kinda dumb,  it’s still entertaining.

Well that’s the sales pitch, but the reality is much different. It’s as far from a drop in replacement for gasoline as you can get. As has been noticed, the system efficiency is horrible, 10-20% compared to 80-90% for BEVs, and hydrogen is pretty nasty stuff. unlike LPG, it doesn’t turn to liquid when compressed at…

Back in the 1980's I had a pretty nice-looking RoleK. Some guy pulled a knife on me and took it. I was out $10.

This looks like the world’s most expensive gaming mouse...

My cognitive dissonance is so psyched for Tesla brodozers. Big “NO FUEL” stickers on the back window, custom names like “Silent But Deadly” with a bunch of deer head decals, NRA and NPR stickers living together, vanity plates like “OL SPARKY” and “CAMEL TOW”

Just to offer a different point of view, to me that looks like a pile of good money turned into something ugly as hell and probably undrivable apart from an actual track or runway. Cars as art has just never appealed to me. Different strokes I suppose. I can certainly admire the engineering work though.
