The nitro is the culprit for the dull flavor. Historically, you could go to the brewery in Dublin and be allowed to tap un-nitroed Guinness Draught straight. Apparently the taste is much more complex and nuanced, and beer lovers like Michael Jackson claimed it is vastly superior to the iconic ultra-fine foamy version…

If you’re talking about North America, all Guinness Draught and Guinness Foreign Extra sold in North America is and has always been brewed in Dublin, Ireland. This is a fact. Never has Guinness Draught sold in the US or Canada been brewed anywhere but Ireland. It is all imported from the Guinness Brewery in Dublin.

I really find the economic defensibility of pirating ridiculous. It’s silly and completely avoids the reason most (note, not all) people pirate: because they don’t want to or cannot afford to pay for something.

*Note: those who did not laugh were blindfolded. Or blind.

My wild and unfounded suspicion is that Roku sold the space for the Rdio and Sling buttons. I.e., Rdio and Sling paid Roku for product placement, literally on the product. Margins in high-volume SoC containers (which is all a streaming box is) aren’t especially great, and I would not be surprised if Roku was doing…

There is literally no reason to believe this car will come to America. Let alone that it would even pass crash tests here. I'm really not sure why anyone is trying to raise hopes on this.

I’d prefer if we could relegate the buttons you’ll use once a month to a touchscreen and keep the ones you’re using every single day. I’m certainly not saying kill all the buttons, and I think Tesla’s approach is equally silly and convoluted, it’s just at the opposite end of the spectrum compared to Porsche. Porsche…

Safety-schmafety. Look at all that space for manipulating holocubes!

Oh, that explains the $6000 markup quite well. They should call it the Macan OCD.

Is everyone in the Mercedes-Benz concept department on drugs? It seems like they are.

Deep, dark, delicious secrets.

MIDDLE GROUND “OK”

I am amenable to saving some of the buttons.

Is it a joke yet that Porsches have too many fucking buttons? They have too many god damn buttons. AND THERE ARE STILL BLANKS FOR THREE MORE, STOP THE BUTTON MADNESS.

They ditched it on the ‘16 Jetta as well, the base is now a 1.4T. The best part? Makes just as much torque as the 1.8T for substantially less money, and gets better MPG. 20 fewer BHP, but you save ~80-90lbs if you opt for an auto 1.4T vs an auto 1.8T.

omg the paper license plate

THE HORROR

VIDEOS IMMEDIATELY!

The early NC is indeed Peak Miata Ugly. It looks like it got stung by a bee and then looked in a mirror: “OH!”

In a world where cars had to be pieced together from scrap parts and paint had become a long-lost luxury, the DMC-12 would look great.
