I’m not artificial, nor am I intelligent. But this seems like an easy calculation

I guess my question is why is there a race category on a red light ticket? If there is an option for Not Applicable then it sounds like we can drop the category all together.

Either the Unimog U5023:

Even if she was in the wrong. Dealing with the general public day in and day out will make you snap.

In the rear seat we once found magic in the rhythmic dance of power line shadows racing across our laps. Today, that enchanting ballet is replaced by the glow of handheld zombie-screens. Yet that silent waltz of light and shadow still continues outside the window, yearning to entertain and to become delight for the…

Those exist, but they're not super common, certainly not in the States. Canada has a couple- the Canadian, which travels from Toronto to Vancouver, offers some luxury experiences (although, not quite 5-star hotel levels, but the scenery in the Rockies makes up for it), and the Rocky Mountaineer is considered pretty…

I think there’s even more than that to consider. Suppose cruises went away, what would replace them? Probably Caribbean island-hopping trips with the expectation of the same amenities at the destinations. So whole entertainment/dining/waterpark complexes would pop up on the islands, good for tourism jobs sure but bad…

Literally anything that you need to adjust while the vehicle is in motion.

I love the idea of matching car/bike combos, but the Batur is an ugly Conti GT, and the Bentley Diavel is an even uglier Diavel. I’d much rather have something like this:

Yes. Well they used the vehicle to install emergency radio transmitters:

I dunno, it’s kind of a Star Wars rebel aesthetic–the grubby, dinged-up spaceship. For the money I could live with it, as long as the rust isn’t too bad.

It’s not immediately clear what caused the incident....

Actually, Sedan crater out in the Nevada desert was a complete success. It was the idea of using nukes to build transportation corridors that didn’t go very far.

The fun thing about the proposed “Pan-Atomic Canal” is that the Pacific Ocean technically is over a foot higher than the Atlantic Ocean, so blasting open a waterway between them means it could also double as a wave/current source of electricity.

Got a point.  I guess something like this not happening is a great by product of banning gas stoves.  

For cars to be sold in the US, manufacturers ought to fit strengthened suspension (what British exporters used to refer to as “Colonial Specs”).

Yes, and the original body panels were meant to last one race only, and many of the historic race cars like this have been reskinned at least once. Here you have the steel chassis which can be repaired, the original drivetrain, the instrument panel and some other bits. Hardly a Ferrari of Theseus.

As a balloonist, I feel seen. Thank you.

It’s as if God himself intervened to stop this one from getting out there into the world.
