What really gets me about these podium ceremonies is how much everyone seems to dislike Rosberg. At first I thought it was just disgruntled Hamilton fans, but it seems everyone loves to boo him. I’m interested to see what happens when we get out of Europe again.

Gratuitous rallycross picture:

If I remember correctly, the spot for the directed energy weapon equipment on an F-35A is where the lift fan goes on the F-35B, so it would be tricky to get lasers on the B-variant.

Um...

Everyone was heartbroken by it. I can barely stand to watch the video...

I still love the dashboard from the Lamborghini Reventon. Rather than merely being futuristic, it looks futuristic.

The headline loaded before the picture for me, and for a moment I thought the owner was going to have skin like Donald Trump. Disappointed.

Man here. The only reason men are unfazed is this:

Getting a modern car didn’t help Robocop, and it won’t help now.

That was the bit I couldn’t fathom - there was plenty of room to fit the 3.5 v6 and a 9 speed automatic gearbox. The stupid thing about the side impact test is that both the types of service that bought Crown Vics in volume (taxi firms and police) would have been quite happy with a sturdy bulkhead or brace running…

You forgot that one level in Tiny Toon Adventures - Buster Busts Loose from the SNES. I was very confused when it popped up in a run of the mill licensed platform game.

The statement from Takata states that the truck was carrying inflators and propellant. I’ve done a little work in hazardous transport and the guiding principle is that if you need to send something capable of causing ignition, you definitely don’t send it with something that’s capable of going boom if it’s ignited.

It was Takata that put the stuff on the truck though, and the driver was working for Takata (through a subcontract). If it was that driver’s recklessness that caused the crash, or Takata’s recklessness that put primed explosives into a dangerous situation, then they do need to take some of the blame.

Modern trucks can brake pretty well.

A Riley Elf - A Mini with enough room for a very tiny body in the trunk!

The Mk1 Elise weighed 725 kg. This new one is a lardass.

You’re funny.

That only applies if the deal that’s reached results in the Norway model, and there’s no guarantee that will happen. The City of London doesn’t think it will happen either, and they’re expecting a deal more along the lines of the Swiss model, where a number of bilateral deals in specific sectors would mean that the…

No, we can’t sign trade deals until we leave. Important difference there.

The country with full access to the single market but restrictions on freedom of movement isn’t Switzerland. Try again.
