If they could take all the fiddly modern bullshit out of it, I would give both my kidneys to Audi for this. Since they definitely can’t, I’ll stick to dreaming about old S6 Avants, and driving my XJ.

You know, if they keep this shit up, I’m going to have to start wearing a helmet in the Jeep, just so I can have a HUD. Spent too many years driving a car with a built-in HUD, and now don’t ever want to do without.

I didn’t catch why this was a problem. Are you troubled because they’re labeling the food as GMO (sort of silly, in my opinion, but I understand consumer pressure), but then on the website saying true things about the food, like that it’s cheap, doesn’t have artificial flavors or colors or any MSG? I don’t understand…

Most definitely! That’s one reason I wanted to be sure to specify “evidence or reason,” because while we lack confirmatory evidence of life on other planets (and would be unlikely to ever even be able to use evidence to prove they don’t exist; proof of a negative), we can apply reason to the things we do know, and…

I was really waiting for some kind of actual garbage can - not a gilded lily of a wastebin-from-the-future - to be nominated, but no, it’s SimpleHuman all the way. (Glad that Ikea thing got honorably mentioned.) I just don’t understand: I use a generic dollar-store foot-opening plastic can that cost all of 20 bucks,…

Do you have evidence or reason to support your assertion?

Best: 1997 Audi A4 quattro. In the snow. On Blizzaks.

It’s just a shame that the company is spending money hand over fist on a useless gadget when it could be funding its own research to find a cure for cancer.

Wouldn’t this strategy be vulnerable to “defection,” since a given party has more to gain by lying about their red line than they do by being truthful?

Also changes in wealth, and in how we spend it. More people are choosing to use their disposable income to avoid cooking their own food (with, naturally, positive, negative, and value-neutral effects).

I am 100 percent going to steal one of these from the top of an airplane and mount it to the roof of my Jeep.

...it is a disgraceful failure because it shows how lax crowdfunding sites can be about quality.

They restrict private automobiles from entering a city…bigger cities…biggest cities…population in cities is growing…70 percent of the world will live in a city….Cities…help everyone navigate the city…Oslow….city center… Helsinki, Madrid, Hamburg, and Paris….London…Johannesburg….New York City…San…

It will certainly be a struggle to maintain an open mind about this, but I’ll do my best. It seems likely this won’t be great for io9 readers, but only time will tell.

1. Wrong XJ. Wrong Jag XJ, too.

Kudos to Cracked for doing just this for their Adventures in Jedi School series.

There’s also a section on how to complain “the right amount.” Can you imagine anyone ever telling a man to do that?

I’d love it, but really, it needs to be on the bottom, or on the sides. The actual space above an airplane isn’t that exciting.

In other news, Tokyo broadcasters have already optioned the rights for a new High Speed Drone Chase program.

What’s an interior? The interior of all my cars is just the inside of the exterior. I’m very pleased with that arrangement.
