Yeah, something is really messed up here. You buy a brand new $54,000 car, and when it has major issues within “a few months”, your solution is “welp, I guess I have to sell it”? Does it not come with a warranty? Am I misunderstanding something here?

the ending of Nineteen Eighty Four when Winston has been abused within an inch of his life and comes out the other end feeling nothing but love for the fictitious leader right before having his brains blown out

This is borne out by the fact that 3 or 4 brands/tires basically trade places near the top every year in the CR rankings. Which specific tire is deemed “THE BEST!” in any given year doesn’t matter as much as just going with any of the brands that regularly appear near the top of the rankings.

Will Elon Musk and the Republicans get a chance to reply on Jalopnik?

crew members have filmed their view from inside the planes and it does not look fun.

Two cops deployed tasers but neither of them worked. (Guy only had a t-shirt on, so I don’t know what was going on there.) But it looks like they could have easily subdued him with pepper spray, or batons, or a good old fashioned gang tackle. (They had plenty of time, and the guy never made an aggressive move toward…

I attended one of these “educate the public about police use of force” things a few years ago. Many of the other people there bought into it and were like “ah, yes, I see why you totally have to shoot people in a situation like this.” What those people were missing was the fact that the “situation like this” was an…

A delayed image would be much worse than no image at all. At least if you know your camera’s busted, you aren’t relying on it. The thought that I could be looking at an image, but not a current image, is pretty disturbing.

When I was younger I made up just such a table, laminated it, and kept it in the car with me so I could always do a rational cost/benefit analysis of whether it was worth it to me to risk a ticket.

It’s just so exhausting to have to explain this over and over, isn’t it? The entire g-d point of having something like AM radio around is that cell phones won’t fucking work during a true disaster/emergency, yet people keep shouting “yOu CaN juSt dO iT On YOuR PHoNe!!! It’s as ridiculous as someone arguing that it’s…

why such an exorbitant fine?

What’s The Worst Thing A Passenger Has Done In Your Car?

I want to second that. I have ridden all kinds of public transit, both where I live and when travelling around within other cities. Sure, there’s the odd weirdo, but that’s true pretty much everywhere you go. I mostly drive, but that’s only because I really like driving. I have to say I have never had a bad experience…

It wasn’t engineers who demanded electric door openers, they’re just the poor bastards who have to try to find ways to execute Musk’s “genius” ideas.
