If you’ve ever been an engineer or scientist at a company big enough to have a marketing or sales department, this will probably be one of the less-stupid things they’ll ask of the people who actually know how to make stuff.

He seems like he’d think it was ‘funny’

I’m honestly humbled by that statement. Thank you. I’m gonna miss this place too if/when it shuts down. I’m already missing the rest of the whole Gizmodoverse. This is basically what’s left of it.

I have much the same thoughts, but they usually come out caked in sarcasm, with a generous side of profanity haha

Remarkably concise and astute assessment.  Well done.

You know he would jump at the chance to do it personally.  You just know he would.  And as the richest man in the world, I halfway wonder if he already has.

You could use the same latch, just pull it two different ways.  One with a solenoid, one with a cable (a cable that is very light in comparison to one used every time the door is opened.)

oooh i like that. Regular season champ gets a free bid to the next round! Larson would have gotten the bye in this case

It’s much easier to understand when you remember that playoffs exist to boost the TV revenues and thus make more money for the billionaires that run our sports-industrial complex. It’s never been the fans asking for these ever-larger and more convoluted postseason formats.

can we stop using X or Twitter to make references? Like this whole site rightfully spends time dunking on Elmo but then 90 odd percent of the links or embedded posts are to Twitter. 

Given how easy they are to break, I think calling them a “trolling rollmobile” might be more accurate!

How is “assault” not one of the charges?  Or will that be specific just for the driver?

Unfortunately, they usually destroy their old ones. I did a bunch of research last year and they are pretty much impossible to get your hands on.

I’d gladly keep GWC if they’d jettison the rest!

The Confederate battle flag attempted ban falls into this bucket as well.

Judging by the election results, 50.3% of all cars on the road are MAGA cars.
