Many areas of Tokyo were also bombed to bits in WWII, which presented a unique opportunity to integrate hundreds of miles of trunk railway lines in its redevelopment. Also, for all of its flaws, Japanese culture places enormous respect for communal property (I hesitate to say “public” because it’s not government-run…

Inevitably the person doing didn’t grow up in NYC.

I’m sure I will get crucified, but I am going to say it anyway. Pedestrians need to think and *look* before stepping out into traffic. And while cyclists certainly have the right to share the road, they are ALWAYS going to be on the losing end of a collision, so the utmost attention should be paid and helmets should…

Wait, isn’t this New York style virtue-signalling? Or is it just meta-theme writ large? I’m so confused....

Hard to get killed by cars that are barely moving...

I really don’t mean to trivialize or minimize the stat, but 159 deaths in 9 months in a city of 8+million (that is also relatively dense) seems really really low

Cars don’t belong in cities. But you can have my Lotus when you use the jaws of life to cut it away from my cold, dead hands. Probably after I’ve been crushed by someone in a Tahoe who was texting.

New York City is trash., Reason #162662712722

Any machine is a death machine if you try hard enough.

Life was so much simpler when people were hacking the signs to warn about the impending threat of nazi zombies...

Good to see Alyssa Walker is staying active with her writing.

They most certainly have that right.

Shouldn’t that just be two pictures of Saab? Because had GM not prolonged their life they’d have died off in the late 80s or early 90s. 

No, you’re absolutely correct: a luxury, electric SUV is exactly the type of vehicle a wealthy, liberal NYC elite would drive. I’m not sure how Mack can’t seem to square that fact, but then again, he is known for his incredibly bad takes.

The fellow in the driver’s seat felt something break, and stood on the brakes. Rear brakes are not designed to stop the inertia of a dyno roller.

This “side loaded brakes” thing makes literally zero sense. In order for it to flex enough to cause THAT much drag the wheel bearing and hub would have had to been broken or this would happen anytime anybody gets a little sideways because the dyno is not “forcing” it to track straight any more than a road would be…

So our vision, and this is where you come in, is that entrepreneurs run these team-specific sites. People who are all Hawkeyes all the time or all Jets all the time. And are covering their team on an intense basis, and equally importantly are fostering an intense community of fans who come back to the site everyday

Hah! But no, Gawker was founded only a few months before the company I was at got acquired.

This is a Chrysler product. So just expect questionable aesthetic decisions by their owners in general.
