Isn’t this just statistics.  Last year there were 0 scooters, so no injuries.  This year there are thousands, so the increase seems appropriate to me.  Especially considering the learning curve.

It is essentially the same thing. But there’s no headline value (for a site like Gizmodo) in saying “NASA plans routine test of new Launch Abort System.”

They may be right, we may one day see our civilization collapse and all out chaos ensue. But isn’t it better to devote your time, energy and money to making sure…

Not sure what but something about the story rang an alarm bell in the back of my head. I dunno what, why or how but something isn’t adding up. guess we’ll probably never know.

A scientist from Florida is still just an advanced form of “Florida Man”

Admittedly, it was a mostly terrible show, but Lynda is still the best Wonder Woman of all time...

Yeah, this was cutting-edge technology... in 1962.

But it is not even a Jet...

The whole thing is a PR exercize and a joke.

The eagle on the chest represents freedom
