What I’m missing is how having to point your phone at something to control it is beneficial. I remember when TV remotes required that you point the remote directly at the TV, it was kind of a nuisance. Newer remotes just work regardless of orientation, it’s much nicer. I don’t want to have to point my phone at each…

Nissan XTerra. I just picked up a 2012 Pro-4X for $11k. They are capable off-roaders (body-on-frame, true low range 4x4, locking rear diff, etc), and the back seats fold flat.

He had one, but he should learn how to use it. You should never throw the hood wide open when your car is on fire. Crack it open a bit and spray the extinguisher through there. You want to smother the flame, not fan it with a huge rush of air.

Yeah that thought did go through my mind. But more likely he just doesn’t really know what he’s doing... I mean he is overlanding in a Wrangler after all.

It could’ve easily been his child instead of him. You expect every single person who’s going to enter a car for any reason to read the manual to figure out to open the door? Sorry but GM isn’t getting off the hook here. This is a shit design.

How about a blanket that is actually a bag that you are inside of (a sleeping bag, I guess). When you crash, the bag is designed to decelerate your mass without applying excessive force to any one area, by means of a material that stretches to fit your form, then applies force evenly across your entire body.

Small trucks are way overpriced in the used market. Get a RAM 1500, F150, or Tundra. They are much cheaper used. Tundra would be my personal choice.

Give me a Cayman S for that money

If my memory serves me right, Giz is banned from Apple events after stealing an iPhone prototype from a bar, they are bitter, so they post stuff like this out of spite. They’re like the bitter ex girlfriend of the blog world

I vaguely remember something like that happening at Monaco

I think he was trying to get around the traffic and got got stuck

brb... gotta go park my taco behind him

“engineer” is the key word there. I’m a software engineer and I would hate to be a woman in this business. Bunch of socially clueless sexually frustrated nerds hovering around you constantly. Some chicks seem to love it though.

Suspension is hugely important in a rally car. This is not a stock RS by any stretch of the imagination. But hey Ford clearly is putting more money into rally than Subaru these days so if this is what gets more fanboys into rally racing, carry on.

“The shield, known as the New Safe Confinement, had to be built away from the scene of the accident as the radiation immediately above the reactor is still too intense.”

Facebook is not The Internet. The Internet is a technology stack that allows 0s and 1s to stream into your house from anywhere in the World. The Internet does not, and should not - care if those 0s and 1s are cat pictures, friends reruns, or clown porn. That is the free flow of information you are talking about and it…

I’m pretty sure the battle of the bastards cost more

I recently visiting the Dachau concentration camp in Germany. There were people taking pictures doing funny poses at the entrance gate. Where 200,000 Jews were imprisoned and 45,000 were murdered. Not even one of humanities worst atrocities could snap them out of social media attention whore mode. We are screwed.

Yeah I work in software QA. It’s embarrassing how little the managers care about the quality of the software they are in charge of. The attitude is get it out the door and let the users find the issues. They only care about getting more features to put on the back of the box. I won’t be letting software drive my car…

This is such a terrible idea it physically hurt my brain (could also just be the hangover). Let me count the reasons:
