Airplanes are stronger than people might think. Aloha Airlines Flight 243 in 1988 suffered explosive decompression at 24,000 feet and managed to land with only one fatality, despite the 737 suddenly becoming a convertible in mid-flight.

I used to work for one of the largest vehicle management companies in North America. We managed millions of vehicles for hundreds of clients in all fifty states, and Canada. We were responsible for purchasing, titling, registration, taxes, transfers, sales, every type of transaction and variation thereof, at every

It’s not the truecollege student with a car on campus” experience without the nightly experience of trawling your neighborhood for curbside parking, memorizing street cleaning times, profoundly and hatefully coveting the parking spots closest to your apartment door, and finding out what a boot is.

Universities with limited parking do it largely to discourage students from bringing their cars to campus and cutting down traffic.

Ah, so I see anti-consumerist DRM bullshit is now expanding beyond videogames.

My guess is that the robbers were wearing ski masks or something that made it visually apparent they were up to no good.

It is hypothetically possible that some shipwrecked sailor drifting alone in the middle of the southern Pacific Ocean prior to the 18th century was marginally lonelier than the Apollo astronauts.

I think there’s no clearer sign how much the unmitigated pursuit of wealth and money has ascended to the defining ethic and spirituality of our age, than the fact that people have turned to retail brand loyalty and business magnates as the epicenters of our worship.

The charges wouldn’t hold up. You can’t be accused of theft when you have no way of knowing who the device belongs to. If you came out to your car and found a stuffed animal under your hood, you couldn’t be subsequently accused of theft for keeping it. Some might say that it’s reasonable to assume the police are the

There’s a great line in an old Stephen Fry satire show.

Similar event in 2010 - a student discovered a device attached underneath his cover. He took to Reddit because he was worried it was some sort of bomb - Reddit told him it was a tracking device. Some time later, a posse of FBI agents showed up at his door refusing to tell him anything, but demanding he return it back

“Following on the heels of the Covid pandemic, the USA was unprepared for the hantavirus-bubonic plague-tetanus hybrid virus which consumed the country like wildfire. Where the disease came from remains unknown, but epidemiologists have traced the first cases to a diner in the town of Stanwood, Washington. Cases then

“Autopsy revealed he was more hantavirus than man."

A spare ... lung? He’ll need it.

Low speed hit from a train. The total weight of a train will be anywhere from thousands to tens of thousands of tons - and all of that is crashing into your vehicle. A fairly small train of 2000 tons going at 5 mph has the equivalent kinetic energy as your average pickup truck going at 150 mph.

Did you pay for the damage to the barrier? Because if not - kind of a dick move.

So you’re saying if a dude got T-boned on my street and the car rolled to a stop on my property, I don’t get to keep it?

Well, setting aside the complicated history of killing people and/or taking their land based on their ethnicity - the thing is, Jeep isn’t using the word “Cherokee” because they really, really love Cherokee culture. They’re using it to invoke the idea of untamed wilderness and pristine nature. Which in itself is fine,

I see. What if I stick up a UPS truck or a Fedex van instead? When it comes to hijacking parcel delivery on horseback, is privatization the way to go?
