Truly sad for him and his family. I admire air show pilots and love to watch them at work, I hate to hear when one of them has an accident.

Chevy don’t surf!

It’s always been possible - just do it in reverse.

The should call it Sixth Gear.

Hey, I actually went to that. It was a fun time. You should be proud of your town, they did a nice job.

The NakedWhiz (no idea why it’s named that) Charcoal database is a great resource for charcoal reviews.

‘86 Honda CR-X. Me in the passenger seat, girlfriend on lap, out the sunroof, resting her arms on the roof.

Oh, I am pretty easy to drink with. I like it all, from Sauvignon Blanc to Cabernet, though I have favorites.

Yeah, has to be something like that, like they lost both engines but only one was down for the full 25 minutes. Something isn't adding up.

I know they can descend fast, what I am wondering is how do they descend so slow. If they dropped quickly they couldn't hold the altitude without power and they only descended 13k feet over a period of 25 minutes where they had no power. So assuming they are trying to maximize their altitude so they can fly the…

Oh, now we’ll just piss off the Gawkerati, not that I care. Personal favs are Merry Edwards, particularly Olivet Lane and Flax vineyards, Walter Hansel, Scherrer (when I can find it), Dutton Goldfield, Copain and even though they are pretty big I think Hartford Court produces some killer stuff. Obviously Williams…

My point was that a plane with a 15:1 glide ratio dropping only 13,000 feet in 25 minutes would seem to have an impossibly slow forward air speed. Not sure but it seems like something doesn’t add up.

OK, what’s wrong with my math here. I looked up and the A330 can achieve a glide ratio of 15:1, so a 13,000 foot drop result in roughly 37 miles of forward flight. If it took the plane 25 minutes to do that, we’re talking about roughly 88 mph of ground speed, right? Can’t be right. They said inclement weather, but…

I thought this article was a brilliant, and actually articulated quite well why these articles and videos are ridiculous. I’ve wanted to jmp into the discussion and support it but two things have stopped me... 1) This is a Gawker website, so snark is the only thing that’s going to win the day, not actual debate (case…

That is definitely how it played out in Sideways, though people don’t seem to understand the “issue” with Merlot and why it is disliked by many wine enthusiasts. It’s not that Merlot is a bad grape at all. In fact it’s one of the top wine grapes in the world, making anywhere from 30% to 100% of the composition of top…

That’s not the answer to “Hardest thing to do in zero gravity”, that’s the answer to “Thing in zero gravity that makes you hardest”

Oasis Of The Seas can hold about 6000 vacationing passengers. I’m not much of an ocean-liner guy myself,

The ad is a clever homage to The Warriors, which is about a gang framed for a murder trying to make it back to their home turf though other gang territories. Many of the gangs in the movie are eccentrically costumed, like the mimes. It's also the movie playing at the drive in at the end of the ad. It's s popular cult…

Totally agree. I was looking a the high priced Warings and others but the awesome reviews for this one caught my eye. I couldn’t NOT try it for the price. It really is a fantastic performer, we love it and it’s held up for a few years now with no issues.
