BRB, measuring the engine bay on my S-10...

In case you find yourself at a bar that is unfamiliar with this code word, it’s always a good idea to keep a few flashbangs in your purse. Those work pretty much everywhere. Great for parties too.

Wow, that’s impressive. Dragonflies are cool, and I like them.

I wish I could scan those QR codes and see what they point to. Got any better pictures?

I mean yeah, they are among the top 2 fastest-flying insects in the world, but it’s not like they’re going to chase you down and bite you. It’s more like if you somehow manage to catch one, and you’re holding it in your hand and won’t let it go, it’ll probably try to bite you as a last resort.

I can think of maybe a few things that would suck more than that (World War III, a global ebola epidemic, another Pirates of the Carribean sequel), but yeah, that would suck a lot.

Fun fact: dragonflies can bite, though you have to really piss them off first and probably won’t notice unless you’re paying attention.

It is the most efficient way. They probably wouldn’t even complain that much if they were slightly sedated.

My dad’s ‘49 Buick had an innovative remote start feature. The key had three positions: on, off, and lock. There was no start position, because the starter was engaged by pressing the accelerator all the way to the floor. Also, the key was only needed to move into or out of the lock position; as long as it wasn’t in…

Apparently you can buy air mattresses that are designed specifically to fit in truck beds, with cutouts for the wheel wells. Just put one of those in there, and you can have all the comfort you want.

Not necessarily revolutionary, but not ubiquitous yet either. 150 Watts is enough to be useful for some things, but at 115 Volts, that’s only 1.3 Amps before you blow a fuse or something. Circular saws, for example, can pull between 12 and 15 Amps. Hopefully Tesla’s system will be a bit more robust.

Ooh, I hadn’t even thought of that. That would be wicked cool.

Neutral: I’m a millennial (barely), and I do want a certain few connectivity features in my car. Here are the ones that would matter to me:

1st Gear: The power outlets are a great idea; you can already get one on a Honda Ridgeline, and I’m sure it would be easy to implement in an all-electric truck. Also, why is a six-seater pickup so surprising? Trucks with two rows of bench seats used to be everywhere. Even my S-10 can technically seat five, if they’re…

As a man, this picture bothers me. Why are all the men sitting in chairs or on couches while the women are on the floor? I guess I can’t judge the situation based only on this picture; maybe the women wanted to sit on the floor.

See, this is the rare kind of American who actually would benefit from a bigger truck.

I’m guessing the idea is for the spacecraft to do a kind of do-si-do around the moon in such a way that the moon’s gravity slings it back into a geosynchronous orbit around Earth.

Oh, so it’s kind of like a Russian version of the Up Goer Five.
