I’m on the fence about this. Should we be more careful with permitting companies to test? Yes. But should we let two tragedies discourage us from the pursuit of something that has the potential to significantly reduce traffic deaths? I don’t believe so.

Yet another irrationally defeatist article from the Jalopnik flat earth society.

Thank you for bringing common sense into this - but I’m sure it will be overlooked by Trump haters who can’t tell the forest from the trees.

It’s mind boggling the comments made regarding HRC and HW and his support for her. Much reinventing of history. Including nutjob denials that they ever met, despite huge photographic evidence.

Hahahaha

Megan could have put links to those to actually give examples - like she did elsewhere in this blog.

It is telling she did not.

Why do you guys even care about Barstool? This is some Burger King-McDonald’s playground fighting bullshit. Nobody else cares except for Deadspin staffers.

Have you been to this family of sites lately? If you scanned down the first 10 pieces of any of them you would find like 3 sponsored stories, 3 for Amazon’s daily deals, and 4 for actual stories. That doesn’t even account for the 5 to 7 ads between those 10 pieces. These sites are ad revenue whores for their new pimp.

If you were told that you weren’t allowed to say a word based solely on the color of your skin, you don’t think that would make you a tad rebellious? And let’s be real here, the “rule” isn’t that only black people can say it, the rule is that only white people can’t.

White people could care less about using the slur. People make a mountain out of a molehill because, well, drama.

Yes, fuck anyone with a dissenting voice and/or opinion. We must all coalesce into a group-think hive mind, comrade!

Sucks that The Onion got bought by Killarys Kinja... you used to be funny.

Shut up, Travis.

Fuck this constant anti-Uber rhetoric. Usually I don’t bother to comment but this is quite ridiculous. Yes, someone died. That is unfortunate, and steps should be taken to prevent that but this is progress in the real world. You make it seem like that never happens in other industries: aerospace, rail, construction...…

It is but this is Jalopnik, they need to sensationalize.

IIRC that was based on an open-cycle nuclear thermal ramjet. Which, while it would lack “combustion”, yes, would still emit one hell of a fucking signature in the form of a fine mist of fallout.

Just because something is small, fast and unexplained it must be aliens, great logic. Aren’t most non Western aligned nations developing and fielding high speed even hypersonic antiship missiles. Isn’t that a better explanation than aliens?

The kid could have not jumped him.

Where are all these horrified males?

Oh gee, I don’t know, maybe they aren’t the primary demographic for jezebel.com?
