Why are we paying for this?
If you want US navy protection, flag your ships with our flag. Pay your workers according to our laws and pay our taxes. Otherwise get Mongolia to protect you or whatever other flag of convenience you fly.

Because falling-apart rust buckets on the road is so much better...

This picture could not be more perfect for this story. ****clapping***

on the one hand, this makes a lot of sense. On the other hand it’s horrifyingly expensive if you don’t have local babysitting help from grandparents so some caution is really in order before you just sign up for this 100%

We don’t have reproduction controls in place. Given the propensity for humans to spread like bacteria, this is a serious problem.

Ugh. Another “animal experimentation don’t work” article. Yes, some animal experimentation is superfluous - cosmetics for example. But that whole idea that mice (and rats and cats and chimpazee) are so different from us that the tests are pointless is wrong. They are not perfect - the ideal would be human subjects.…

Hopefully we’ll even get to add “People thought race was a thing” someday.

How can you forget that we kill each other, over who’s god is best? To me, this is the number one reason why we are not unified as a planet. More people have died and suffered on this planet because of god, than for any other reason. This is true barbarianism and ignorance.

She belongs in a cage. She’s not crazy. She’s a casually cruel, supremely cynical and self-absorbed crook. If her grift wasn’t cancer, it might have been identity theft, or check fraud or blackmail. She is a professional criminal; this was merely her crime of choice. It worked for Lance Armstrong, and for a while it…

There's a good chance people have died because of her. She doesn't deserve politeness.

Reading the article, it’s highly appropriate in this case. There shouldn’t be any soft-peddling of the very real harm these con artists cause, and they deserve no respect at all, just the strongest possible condemnation.

You and I are very different people. Plenty of tension, IMHO, and I laughed aloud quite often while reading.

Sorry, but that is nonsense. Both metals can be, and are being, recycled. Both recycle streams need good quality monitoring to keep unwanted metals out of the stream. (I’m looking at you Copper!) Both need processing and adjustment of chemical composition to get the alloy you want. Steel has an advantage in that you…

One fun bit of useless trivia that I find fascinating is that the top of the Washington Monument is Aluminum, and at the time it was made, aluminum had a higher value per ounce than gold.

Hey what the hell did you do to the amazing Jalopnik logo and how do we get it back? Let’s talk about that.

The popular fan theory with Minority Report, which is actually pretty compatible with the rest of the movie, is that everything that happens after Anderton gets arrested is the idealistic forced dream he’s experiencing within the stasis prison.

Someone with 20 years worth of computer experience in the 80s would be fine today. They would know a lot more than how to use a mouse.

What interests me about this whole article is that your use of "Trolling" seems to fall more along the lines of "Pranking", albeit with a negative consequence for those on the receiving end of the Prankster's Gambit.
