It’s amazing what a surge of adrenaline can do for you. I was commuting home by bike one day when a massive pit bull rolled up on me. I only knew it was coming because I heard its collar tinkling as it took chase. I was already doing probably ~15mph and it was closing the gap effortlessly. The fact that it wasn’t

What’s the over/under on the number of times Chip has said the n-word in his life?

Many happy returns, Torch. Love reading all of your stuff!

1st: I think there are a few issues with swappable battery idea. First and foremost, I thought that we were moving toward batteries becoming structural elements. This isn’t to say that a swap is impossible, but it becomes highly impractical if the battery is serving as an actual, structural component of the vehicle.

As much as part of me wants to, I can’t laugh at this poor guy’s anguish. I made the relatively easy decision this year not to re-up my Prime membership, after basically quitting Amazon cold turkey.  There are other places to buy things, even if they might take an extra day or two to arrive. If only there was a way to

This design has aged phenomenally well. In fact, I don’t think it’s ever looked anything but “classic.” The newer Bentleys look good now, but I have a feeling they’ll look gaudy 20 years down the line. Bear in mind that rap/hip-hop culture hadn’t fully embraced Bentleys and Rolls Royces in 2001. Petey Pablo rolled

I’ve never understood the 928.  I never particularly loved the design, and the one I got to drive was just... uninspiring.  The 944 Turbo was so much more engaging and fun in comparison.  Went ND because it’s not for me, but it looks like this one is going to be a runaway NP win. 

My freedumbz!

I had high hopes for COVID-19, but it seemed to hardly affect some of the worst people among us. 

The audio is pretty garbled, but I’m guessing she said something about Trump, the stolen election and “our freedoms” before she lobbed that sucker punch. 

I mean, to the average Tucker superfan, “protesting” is simply expressing any viewpoint that they disagree with. By getting the vaccine, they’re basically exclaiming that COVID is real. Also they’re putting untold billions of dollars into the pockets of Soros and Gates. And threatening the health of her family by

Come on.  She was just having a bad day, that’s all.

They wouldn’t have been arrested.  They would have left in a body bag. 

Yes and no.  Back when I had a Juke, I would get irritated by having to gas up every few days because of the thimble-sized tank.  My RAM is lucky to get 16 mpg, but it has a 33 gallon tank, so it doesn’t need crazy frequent fill-ups.  Little bit of sticker shock at fill-up time, though. 

Kansas seems like the kind of state that would rush a law through absolving a certain type of person of a crime if they claimed God told them to do it and got an ordained man of the cloth to sign off on the idea.  I mean, obviously it would only apply to white, Christian males, but still. 

Depends on your perspective, I guess!  I can tell you that I would be checking myself into a psychiatric hospital if I suddenly started hearing voices inside my head. 

1st: Why not keep radar as a failsafe?  The more info the better, right?
