Call a person wearing a confederate flag a Democrat and see how that goes

You mean the “government party” that actually abolished slavery and was willing to go to war to enforce abolition?

I cannot top Kente Cruiser.

Relevant Gizmodo article from way back in the day:

Beaverton isn’t in the middle of nowhere. It’s one of the biggest suburbs of Portland, home of Nike HQ, and pretty diverse. According to City Data, Beaverton is 62% white non-Hispanic. I hope this guy lost his job over this.

They spy, we spy, we all spy. But the sheer level of assholery that is required to send a giant balloon into our airspace, where one minor helium leak (because Chinese quality) might sink it down to JetBlue traffic level, is major. Add that to all of the other bullshit they pull and it becomes obvious that we need to…

This is just something to test US’s response.

Wreckfest can get away with it because its cars are not licensed.

A hovercraft rides on a cushion of air held in by rubber billows. This fan boat is just a flat bottom boat sliding on ice. Not same.

But it is necessary for the damage to be shown.

Example. I do a lot of iRacing. On ovals Aero is a big deal. If a car has a wrinkled fender they will be able to keep pace in a draft but will kill your speed if you let them shuffle up to the head of a pack. The only way to know that driver is off is by looking at their…

Wreckfest exists. So really developers like to make excuses

Lurking on the Gran Turismo Reddit, I came across a post venting about which cars can/cannot be turbo/ supercharged, which led to this gem:

Because crashes do happen in racing and it is lazy if a SIM doesn’t accurately represent that damage. Especially if the IRL implications of the damage would impact handling and aero.

Comment section is sparse and the only one so far is making fun of Elon. This is bad. Someone needs to write post about autopilot killing baby seals, should get the usual Jalopnik commentariat out of the woodwork

Does anyone know the history behind why we say we are “dumping” the clutch? We all say it, but why?

I’m sad that there’s not a better explainer for how the hybrid system works. No commentator on NBC explained much at all during the D24, even the pitstop “re-energizing” was only explained once during all my viewing. Do these cars only use it on the front axle? Is it for low speed acceleration? Overall all-the-time? A…

That would depend on where you live.

Is it really that hard to pay for the things you use?
