Same. I figured it was just a nostalgia trip, but before I realized what had happened I had binged both seasons.

I’m holding out hope for an auto news site not full of hand wringing pussies.  Guess we will both be playing the waiting game.

Still holding out hope that one day there will be an article about stupid, dangerous shit totally free of comments excusing and bragging about doing stupid, dangerous shit.

Doc Brown chose his car as a safety, coz only a maniac would take a DeLorean up to 88mph.

What makes this especially galling is that there is a god damn race track - NCM Motorsports Park - across the highway from the Corvette Assembly Plant and National Corvette Museum that I’m sure a couple engineers might have been given access to if they just asked.

Fuck the family that did that. Not only are you a royal PITA to the rest of us that have to squeeze into a tiny metal tube together, but you probably just ruined your child’s day. Be a responsible adult and check that shit.

I’m sure that eventually, to make money, the TSA will start fining people arbitary amounts. “You attempted to bring on a carry on too large for the plane. You’ll be fined $10,000 and the bear will be conficsated and destroyed in front of your child’s eyes while a TSA agent holds her and tells her how awful her parents…

Carry-on! Fuckin’ carry-on! C’mon. Really? Carry-on? Somehow he got past the place where they check to see if something is too big to be a carry-on, (“excuse me, please, we’re important”) and he got as far as TSA? There, the brough-ha-ha about the bear and not fitting in the scanner would tie up at least one TSA…

I like how you think that has anything to do with my point. Whether she came up with it herself or is paraphrasing the original article makes no difference to my comment.

Paul Newman, lead scientist

Yeah but they are stupid.

For six decades, scientists have watched a steady circulating wind pattern in the tropical stratosphere repeating like clockwork every two years.

Atmospheric science yes, “meteorology” is a fancy term for “weather prediction”, which is like believing the Santa Claus is real.

The quasi-biennial oscillation needs better branding.

It’s not even a speck. It’s nano-speck. Out of almost 5 billion years 60 years is essentially nothing.

Did it just start 60 years ago or has it only been observed and recorded starting 60 years ago? I’m curious about that.

We’ve been measuring it for 60 years. On a global timeline that is a speck. Why are we assuming it’s always done that and always will?

Ah, the false dichotomy combined with insult. The oft-used Gawker method of getting everyone’s blood boiling. Glad to see it’s alive and well.

Gawker definitely also does make the right look foolish/suppress many right wing items of worth for their leftist rhetoric. However, Gawker doesn’t purport to be a neutral curator of “Trending Topics” in America or the world, they are pretty clearly a left wing news source and operate as such. Gawker is smart to tack…

There’s nothing wrong with biased news reporting as long as you’re aware of it. In fact, it’s probably better to have a collection of openly biased news sources you can sample as you like compared to those sources continually telling you they are “fair and balanced” when they obviously aren’t.
