Hopefully Monsieur Button is saying "Enough screwing around Ron, I WILL be driving that car next year, and if you actually put something worth half a crap in my hands I WILL win races for you."

Haha, that was actually just my mail. It'd been sitting around back at my usual post for 2 weeks, and my NCOs did me a solid and threw it out on a bird headed my way.

This was just to top the crew off after they test fired. SOP at the time was when a crew was taking over station, they would test-fire 30-50 rounds and then get this filled up when the 58D came in for fuel.

I'm no Aerospace engineer but the balance between stiffness and flex could be set just right so it will flex at speed and greatly improve the aero similar to that of lowering the whole cars ride hight thus reducing the drag coefficient underneath the car so long as the stiffness isn't compromised to create instability…

It's not clever. Flexible components for aerodynamics is pretty fundamental, and taught in most undergrad aerospace classes as "aeroelasticity". There are limits on it, and Red Bull breached the limits. It's the same as weight limits, size limits, and all the other damn limits that a "formula" series implements.

It's not the first time the flexibility of Red Bull's wings has been brought up, although its's the first time I've heard it this year. There are rules governing this precisely to stop the front wing breaching the minimum road clearance when under load.

Best part "stable condition" that guy fell 11 stories onto a car with bones poking out of his skin. And he's stable.

One of those rare scenarios where multiple compound fractions means he was lucky!

Amazing, but I think the Big Balls Award doesn't go to the truck/truck driver but to the F1 driver. Headline should be "Holy Crap an F1 Drove under a Jumping Truck"

The choppers in Battlefield have always been really touchy. Sometimes you can pull off a hard landing and other times it'll just explode on contact if you try to gently land.

Yes. With every corner, he looks to the outside and goes "AHHHH!!"

So hot right now...

Bernie is so spectacularly out of touch with his sport. Imagine Roger Goodell or Bud Selig saying that their sports don't want the youth market, that they don't need publicity, that everything is just fine with the teams with the most money winning every game and those that are struggling should just buck up and close…

At least he's bothered to bring an advertisement broadcaster to show the rich 70 year olds the things they need to buy.

'My' in the sense of the flat I live in, at a heavily discounted rate. It belongs to a friend of mine who's so wealthy, he once forgot about an entire house he owned.

"Get out of the square mile" – that means he's a member of the City of London Police force, rather than the Metropolitan Police that preside over the rest of London. The City of London Police are proper, old-school policeman, silly hats and all. If he'd done this anywhere else in London, the Met would have have him in…

A goat wearing a top hat? In an MMO? So, it's Goat Simulator meets World of Warcraft meets Team Fortress 2?

As a track rider and a commuter, I've been following the development of this system for a while. I'm certain I'd have a few less rickety bones in my system if I was wearing it. As for being an enabler of bad behavior, I don't agree with that sentiment at all. I wear all my gear all the time. It gives me confidence…

I used to tell people I was allergic to mushrooms. I just fucking hated mushrooms.

Shout out to Farah for actually using the Jalopnik boards. Cool guy.
