This is a sad story, but it's not every story, and sometimes truck drivers are dicks.

I have that car. The button near the knee is the master on/off. It basically just activates/deactivates the wheel controls. I always leave the knee button on. I supposed you could turn it off to avoid accidental presses on the wheel, but I've never run into that issue.

That's why I don't. If I'm going up a bridge, or similarly large incline, I will take it off cruise specifically to avoid this. The problem is much lesser inclines, the kind you can't even tell are there, that will drop/raise a car's speed by 2-3mph. This requires extremely small adjustments in throttle, which…

Nice catch, it sure does look like it. Even has that little kink in the spokes.

You can always tell on a highway who is using cruise control and who isn't. No matter how good you think you are, if you aren't constantly staring at the speedometer then you are changing speeds (slight hills, impossible to notice, will accelerate/decelerate the car). This is incredibly annoying for those using…

There already is a front page link to opposite lock... use the "blog view"

You're not supposed to tape it to yourself... you're supposed to tape it to itself and basically make duct tape "fabric" that you then use to make clothes...

Except that using a non-legal definition to describe this in a published piece of "journalism" amounts to libel and is punishable in the courts. But sure, other than that, who cares...

You're arguing the philosophy of what makes something "artificial." I'm arguing the legality. This is the legal definition of a natural flavor vs an artificial flavor:

The problem is scale, and like the article says, exacting paint matching. You are shipping large parts to a small factory where a skilled (read: expensive) craftsman will fix it. You're then shipping it to some paintshop which will spend large amounts of time getting paint that matches perfectly (never easy with…

What a misleading article. I'm sure it will get an "updated" note correcting the mis-used "100 artificially flavored" tag at the end... as soon as this falls off the front page.

Then find a beer you like? Alcohol shouldn't be the only reason you're drinking beer.

Why mess up your nice driveway, and bother with all the hose/powerwasher/whatever setup, when you can take it down to the coin op? Sure, he could pay someone to clean up his driveway, or pack/unpack all his cleaning stuff, but that's a hassle. What's the problem with going to the coin op, if he didn't use the brush…

It's a freakin lambo, it's supposed to be outrageous. I like it.

Some yellows are obscenely short, fyi. I agree with you most of the time, but some of the lights with traffic cameras have suspiciously short yellows.

no turn on red?

Depends if it's a high speed merge or a "yield." One lane coming into many with a yield sign (IE: an on ramp), the one lane has to yield to the cars in the many, stopping if necessary. But if it's a high speed merge, where multiple lanes are coming together with both sets of lanes traveling at high speeds, that's a…

There was some "I <3 Sabine" a second or two before that too. Did someone from Jalopnik tag that stretch?

And the ISS was a copy of MIR... soo...

For the love of all that is holy in this world, STOP BASING OPINIONS ON PATENT ABSTRACTS. They are meaningless. Don't even read the descriptions for that matter. All that is important are the claims. The main claim of the cited patent is:
