The parts you touch on the interior are a good thing to change out if buying a used car. I recently decided I needed a cheap truck, so I found a rust free 05 F-150 for $5K. 190K miles but runs great. Once I drained and refilled every fluid, I turned my attention to the yucky interior bits. It had cloth seats that…

...we really should stick with metric units.

Hey ours look the same!

Eh, he’s probably less likely to get COVID in Germany than he is in Michigan. All of your other points are spot-on, though.

Hey everyone,

Airline industry engineer here: This isn’t news. Furloughed aircraft need to be started and run up every week or so - they’re a million moving parts not designed to sit still. Engines get funky (fuel and oil pumps, air compressors, corrosion at the bottom and tops of the nacelles, tips of the compressor blades,…

Thats exactly what people don't get. " it's like the flu" No, the flu doesn't spread this fast and infect this progressively.  And the majority of flu victims dont need to be put on a respirator. 

Vertical takeoff has too many structural requirements that are not conducive to planes that don’t need this ability. I think it would be a better aircraft with if all had just bought the one type.

Those of us who have studied Roman history have been seeing this for a while now. I believe we’re at the point where certain people are trying to move from Republic to Imperium. The issue is that we have a Nero instead of an Augustus at the helm. I don’t expect a 400-1500 year (depending on where you draw the line of…

David - don't ever change. 

How Splinter and Deadspin were handled was atrocious, the having Splinter go dead and having no announcement whatsoever was shitty on the part of Spamfiller and Madman. They should have dropped in a post like this when they pulled the plug.

Splinter dies and this world becomes a little less enjoyable.

Splinter was a damn good website.

Within a large corporation the individual contributors that handle day to day operations are very competent (or mostly) and always try to do the right things, whether an accountant or an engineer.

Please. Unless your engineering degree came out of a Cracker Jack box, you have to know that there is no way to repair this frame and restore its original integrity. It would be devastating to have the repaired frame fail on the road and cause an accident, particularly if another vehicle is involved. Having fully…

A cool looking machine ,but let’s not pretend RR is doing anything useful with this.They havent brought any new tech and they certainly havent even dented the massive problem of battery energy density.
This is a publicity stunt pure and simple.This aircraft is not useful for anything more than short sprints or…

If you don’t fit in an NC Miata, 2003-2005 Z4 2.5/3.0 cars. Can be had for 5-10k. Quick, mostly reliable M54 engine. Old enough to fix yourself, modern enough to not have to do that often, and the parts are not uber expensive. Design has aged surprisingly well, decent aftermarket support (due to shared components…
