This is easy from least important to most:

Are we to assume nothing about the aerospace industry will change in the years leading up to this? It’s not hard to change the performance envleope of a commercial aircraft to suit the needs of the application. The whole study is a bunch of noise to draw attention to Columbia.

I agree, Spoon. These asshats at Jalopnik don’t know what good entertainment is, which is why they can’t produce any good content themselves. Anyone who actually works on their cars knows the absurdity that Roadkill actually is. Which could be why a bunch of arm chair enthusiasts don’t get it either.

You’re a hindsight warrior. Not everyone is in a feasible state of awareness 100% of the time. It’s inhuman. It’s actually literally the opposite of intelligence. Nothing can learn without making mistakes. Logic requires closed loop feedback. You’re assumption is shallow and taken at face value.

Breaking news, Old Man Does Not Like Change.

Pretty sure I’d call the police if they tried to charge me $15 if I left my wallet in the car.

You cannot treat bicycles like cars. They cannot go as fast. They’re incredibly low visibility and make relatively no noise further complicating that. It’s that simple. They will clog traffic as they become increasing popular in metro areas. I read your response as a long winded way of saying “cyclists are people…

There are lost of things wrong with modern traffic infrastructure. And I agree that bicycle law and treatment is a very glaring problem. I’ll even agree that shit like this will keep happening until we stop treating cyclists like regular traffic. But you should have stopped there.

Its safer than coal and hydroelectric, and natural gas in death count. The safety protocols set up in a modern reactor make them nearly fail safe. Using the TWO existing examples of major releases is fear mongering at best.

I’m sorry Ferrari, but you lost the exotic exclusivity market when you decided to sell out and make an SUV

Cleaner and more balanced based on what metrics? Your opinion or did you actually test both of them in a quantifiable manner?

Stop giving this guy who you disagree with free publicity ya dingus.

If sensibly designed, they will. Even if they weren’t, they’d absorb enough energy to make a fatality and injury instead. You’re arguing the motorcycle helmet reasoning which never makes sense

They don’t work upside down

Chances are if it’s illegal in your state to shoot someone if they trespass in your property, then...

Lol if you think 200 miles is a good range for a truck. You could at least pretend to do a little research.

The F-35 isn’t really designed for dogfighting. It’s meant for long range high speed low radar visibility intercept. I don’t think anyone including the military is calling it the Swiss army knife it was supposed to be.

You’re sort of right. Yes in that suspensions plan for sidewall flex. But it’s not for compensating the compression of the tire. Only for lateral flex. The “ spring rate” of a tire is virtually rock hard compared to the spring rate for any given road car. Mine, for example, compresses the tires at a rate of roughly…

Two words. Crumple zones.

That’s not why they failed The business model drifted so far from its old demographic while still maintaining the old inventory. I remember paying $15 for a full bridge rectifier. It was ridiculous but that’s what they had to charge to keep the doors open. Everyone figured out Digikey and Mouser existed and all they…
