Some shows have had better individual episodes or arcs or short runs, but for my money, Season 1 is still the single best 20+ episode season ever made.

Search and Rescue helicopter pilot guy here. In case any of you are wondering if this will happen to you after falling off a cliff face or something and needing an airlift, it won’t if they do their jobs right. In the organization I fly with you have to use a line attached to the litter that’s held by a member of the…

$1200 for an AC repair and it still broke again? They changed and billed you for a new compressor...and it still failed?

Volvo spent all that time and money trying to “design cars for women,” and I feel like they could’ve saved a bunch of effort by just making a nice, modestly stylish bracelet that contained a transponder. (Or a Broach. Or a pterodactyl...!)

I think it’s because people associate scooters with toys/novelties and not as vehicles.

In live, but not Memorex(tm)

Most large companies simply have no way to generate real innovation. the way that they get new ideas or new innovations is by buying out and partnering with smaller, entrepreneurial companies.

It sounds crazy, you think “Gosh- a company with that kind of money and power should be able to do anything”

But in practice, it…

Good unique. Very good unique. It is a good unique because it was originally just a design study and was never intended for production or even an actual concept car, but then some people at General Motors saw the design sketches and said, “This is awesome, lets build it”. I saw one in person yesterday. It was the w-40…

I can never decide if this model year of the Toronado was the apex or the nadir of automotive design.

Stanford clearly values honesty and integrity... I can tell because they’ve proudly employed people like Condoleezza Rice. /s 

its very possible. If the skin was mostly intact then there might not be much blood if it was tight around the puncture area. If it is bone, then it means her Lateral Malleolus dislodged and went through her heel. This would be the bottom of the Fibula which would make sense considering how her tibula broke and her…

we are in the age of self incrimination, I cannot imagine an easier time to be a prosecutor 

My work connects me to the stamping industry. Whether to you get a complex part out of a tool, or a mangled torn piece of metal depends, to a very large degree, on the lubricant being used. There is a lot of science that goes into making good lubricants, with many companies competing to make the best lubricating,…

Shout out to the ref for bumping the leg as he casually stepped over Nurkic.

Really makes me think it’s a modern day Pantera

I am a sheet metal mechanic, and I build the fuselage for these planes, along with about 15,000 other employees in Wichita, KS at Spirit Aerosystems. We do structure here, not avionics or software.

It seems to me is that part of his complaint as a TV critic is he can no longer point you in the direction of the good stuff. There’s a shotgun blast of a new season of a new show with ten episodes all released at once, and next week there’ll be five newer shows, and three more the week after that.

I’ve read this twice and I’m still not entirely sure what the point of this rant is. That people prefer comfort food over new stuff? Well, sure. That’s been the case since TV began. (And I’ll always have a Law & Order on when I’m doing chores.) Netflix wants people to stay home and watch Netflix? Well, duh. It’s hard…

Interiors have gotten so bland over the years. If anyone offers a color its usually only a red seats add on. While I like red seats more creative interior options would rock. The lowest of the low for interiors was probably late 90s-mid 2000s. Recent ones are much nicer in terms of materials but colors seem to be…

My brother has the alpha gal thing. I’d sure as fuck cry and it’s not about missing hamburgers or having jacked up priorities. Guy went into full blown anaphylaxis while having a beer in a steak house, aerosolized beef fat in the air. He was being treated for that at the ER and they gave him fresh frozen plasma, a…
