Isn’t repairing ANY totaled vehicle “more trouble than it’s worth,” by definition?

You’re right.

On a different article about this case, I said to someone that Barnett was at the cross-section of potentially three major causes of suicide: non-stress related health issues, stress, and financial trouble.

It’s been reported that he retired from Boeing due to health issues, and he was a 62 year old man.…

Certainly weirder shit has happened, and that can’t be entirely discounted.

However, people are doing things in reverse, and instead are discounting the most likely explanations first and charging headlong into the most outlandish explanations. Not only that, but their reasoning is spurrious beyond belief, not to…

Those “receipts”, if they were in the form of actual documentation, would have to be turned over during the discovery process, so Boeing would’ve known about them for years. If they were just his ruminations, Boeing would’ve deposed him prior to trial (which they were actively doing), and would’ve cross-examined him du…

Yes, he worked on the 787, which was the plane in question. That in and of itself isn’t evidence of malfeasance, wrongdoing, or some specialized knowledge that only Barnett himself could know.

I reiterate my point. Given how the legal system works (namely discovery), if Barnett had truly damaging potential evidence or…

A fucking huge-arse aerospace company and defence contractor who’s trying to stem their haemorrhaging stock price after a series of high-profile screw-ups? Hmmm...

I saw the article. And I immediately thought how that news-ish/whiny East cost liberal finger-pointing site was barking up the wrong tree like what you wrote—many gears keep you right in the sweet spot of torque band—duh.

this is a car website right? RIGHT?

Whenever anyone brings up the Hummer EV, I like to point out that it’s basically the worst-case scenario for a consumer-grade electric vehicle. 9000 lbs, 1000hp, shaped like a brick, big knobby tires, and basically few concessions to aerodynamics.

my dude, that’s just a left turn .. who the fuck dreads that other than people who dread about a bajillion other things one routinely does while driving?

Diesel big rigs will likely be replaced by hydrogen, whether used in combustion (see: Cummins) or a fuel cell (see: Nikola, Hyundai. Daimler...) it doesn’t matter. Battery electric trucks aren’t going to be good for anything other than short movements, not over the road trucking.

Ban Cars doesn’t mean ban cars.

Why is it that movements like this pick short, inflammatory names to only end up spending so much of their time saying “There’s so much more nuance than our name suggests!” I swear, it’s like some people actually WANT to hand their opponents an excuse to casually dismiss them

I wholeheartedly agree that Level 2 crashes are concerning and warrant investigation, but as the article admits, there is so much information that is needed to provide proper context and analysis (and which was not provided), that the report today is almost useless.

While I do fully condone calling out Boebert for being a hypocrite, but before this can really be taken seriously, the PAC in question should actually present some proof. At the moment it is fully leaning on just claiming that they are have seen the evidence, but it is questionable to publish such allegations without…

My hope is that the thousand worlds include a handful of unique handcrafted worlds chock-full of lore and fun little quirks and tidbits to find that hint towards a bigger story, and then hundreds of randomized unpopulated worlds that basically just exist to gather materials and fight pirates without risk of messing up…

Jalopnik: We hate people with money, cars, trucks and EVs But we love brown stickshift wagons, reposting 7 year old posts and slideshows.

Honestly, at this point, I’m fine with whoever wants to buy these. We need people to convert to EVs like....yesterday. If it takes a massive brodozer that gets horrific range and is heavy enough to just plow directly THROUGH mountains to convince the Chads of the world (or, let’s be honest, the US) to think EVs are…

From a ruined nameplate perspective, I would offer the Blazer and the Pathfinder.
The current Blazer is straight up disrespectful to the offroad chops of its predecessor (or at least the collective imagined memory of those capabilities)

The current Pathfinder (5th gen) is a smidge better than the 4th gen, which was a…

This is one of the most idiotic articles ever posted on Jalopnik.
