Gas prices very closely mirror oil prices. Sure, there is some lag, but a drop in oil prices overnight wont cause the gas station to lower their price similarly that very same morning.

You can move to Italy. Northern, preferably. Actually, just go away because you don’t have the mental capacity to be here in the US and not be a drain on the rest of us. IOW, you’re the problem. 

The fact that it is what is/has happened in socialist states seems to evade most of the people bringing it up

My late grandparents saw socialism and communism up close during and after the Russian Revolution.  Sadly, useful idiots like Bernie Sanders seem unable to understand they evils that have been perpetrated in the name of socialism and communism. 

Here is how modern democracies work: quite often the government in power doesn’t govern the way you wish they would. Often the candidates that you back don’t get elected. The proper course of action is redouble your efforts to elect a government that agrees with your views. One way to do that is to try to convince…

Entitlement. The reason why we’ve been advocating against participation trophies for that generation. Now they want a nationwide participation trophy government in the form of socialism. Or what they think socialism is.

They are the same people that think socialism is a good thing, they are why we have the electoral college.

It is amazing to me that young people think it is OK to joke about killing people with whom they disagree.

The fact that he walked out of the hospital two days after that crash still amazes me 

We should all be bringing antibacterial wipes to give our space a wipe down in general, not just while there’s a virus spreading the world.

THANK YOU. The whole point of a logo is it’s a consistent factor for me to associate your brand with. Changing it up for no particular reason does the exact opposite of its intended purpose.

I don’t get why logos are “due for updates” anyway. Unless there’s a fundamental shift in the business that muddles the logo’s message or they used some very period-specific styling in the first place, there’s no need to change something that currently works. It only makes sense when there’s a functional issue to be…

Do you vote for Bernie?

I think you’re framing this irresponsibly. It’s more like he got the job, was like hey something’s up, talked to the correct authorities and got the company to fix it, and now that it’s obviously awkward he’s going to go get a new job. 

Where? I don’t see any donuts....

This. As a former union worker, I have to agree, and agree fully.

I kind of liked the old 5 lug setup they had going on. At the very least it made for an impression on just how good and highly trained the mechanics are. I suppose being a mechanic makes you appreciate that a little bit more. I kind of appreciated that little bit of extra difficulty those guys had and how awesome they…

Part of the enjoyment of Nascar is the fact that a lot of the pit positions require a lot of fitness and skill. I think a lot of Jalopnik commentators who complain aren’t watching anyway and won’t be attracted no matter what engineering changes they make.

What is wrong with all of your eyes? That thing is fucking gorgeous. 

The real reason for flying boats was the fixed pitch prop. Prior to adjustable pitch props you had either a climb or cruise prop, if you wanted to be able to cruise at altitude at a decent speed and at a low cruise RPM you needed a flat pitch prop. This was the equivalent of fifth gear in a car and just like top gear…
