“Watch This Idiot Lose Control of His X-Wing as He Peels Out of Starfighters and Stim Tea”

Alternative title:

The vehicles were mostly boring, honestly, but there’s a drinking game in the making that involves how difficult it is for that Marine to get the door open.

I have a feeling, though I obviously can’t be sure, that people fool themselves into liking Tesla designs because they like other things about the cars. IMHO, the S looks like a rather average mid-sized sedan, the X “SUV” looks like a minivan and this looks like an ugly small sedan. Plus, their interiors are just…

I didn’t realize that “Ender’s Game” was considered a YA novel. Especially given the sequels (not all of which I’ve read, admittedly).

I always think of these details as “architectural.”

I also can get behind an effort to battle the hot take but I am fully in favor of making shallow judgements on the watchability of upcoming films based on their trailer alone, as this is the function of trailers.

Here’s what I don’t understand — why is an analogy even required? This is a fairly easy to understand concept.

Could someone explain to me why there are fixed wing trainers in the naval air service? I tried to wiki and found out that some of them were anti-ship aggressors but most of them seem to be for guys who will end up in helicopters. Is this common for rotor-wing guys?

I’m surprised at your civil engineer friend. It’s my understanding from working with civil engineers that speedbumps are considered the worst option when it comes to speed mitigation. Anyway, the bridge looks cool. I guess Jalopnik wants it’s bridges to all be brown diesel station wagons too.

That Frankenstein poster makes me want to look at some Bernie Wrightson art. Which I will now go do.

What did Twain call the kind of book you love so much that you re-read it every few years, first having read it over twenty years ago?

Not sure breaking Steam’s EULA really qualifies as bravery.

Came here to suggest Shinano. She was at the time the world’s largest carrier. She could’ve been a real threat at the time of her sinking except for myriad design flaws and the fact that she lacked even an aircraft complement (she was on her way to pick them up when she was hit). The circumstances of her sinking by a…

I totalled one of them in Lynbrook, New York. It’s in Auto Heaven now.

How are we ever going to know if there’s not some kind of VW-esque software system messing with the emissions levels if we do a static test like that? This thing needs to be tested under real-world rocketing conditions. I presume that was an EPA emissions test, right?

Is it possible, in the most cynical way, that the U.S. “wins” here? We get to double-team ISIL with the Russians, who protect Assad. Except we don’t exactly have a third option between Assad and ISIL. So we get a return to the old status quo (mostly) which we can blame on the Russians for propping up the (genuinely)…

Useless on a sporting vehicle but this will be brilliant on military or construction vehicles.

Forget tuners. Give a Model S to one of those Italian coachbuilders. Who is still around? Bertone? Giugiaro? Pininfarina? I think some of them are dead.

It’s the Mitsuoka Orochi writ small.
