I mean, definitely not Twitch’s fault outright, but clearly an area where there might be a software system.
This might be an interesting application for Destin from Smarter Every Day’s recent project with live recognition of firearms in a video feed.

You wouldn’t enjoy pretty food that tastes like shit and you’ve clearly never shot suppressed firearms. It’s fantastic.

This looks like someone gambling (well) on the near future of trendy retro car culture.

The fact that you don’t know the beautiful sound of rubber on road is proof enough that your engine is too loud.

And you certainly can listen to music in a regular car, but you hear a lot MORE of it when your vehicle is quiet.

That’s like being into fine dining because the food looks pretty.
Or into target shooting because of the noise.

It’s a shallow take when there is so much ELSE about it that’s fun/interesting/valuable.

I don’t care what anyone else has to say, this sound fantastic.

ICE are like the needy guitarist in an up-and-coming band. Constantly soloing and way too loud at worst, but generally just droning on.

The first time I rode in an electric car with the windows down, it all clicked for me. There are so many OTHER amazing

I had a cop do this in the States once- I was doing 45+ in my (30 mph) neighborhood one summer afternoon heading back from a friends. Local cop pulled me over- we happened to pull over into a public lot for a green space.

He saw a fucking terrified 16 year old who had had his license for about three months and realized

The packaging overall is very similar to a private version (ie, not a shuttle) version of the Local Motors Olli 2.0, minus the 3D Printed lower frame, of course.
This almost looks like the Lucid Motors designer’s take on an Olli 2.0

A 9’ cargo van...

This is the kind of shit that’ll lead to Craigslist postings in 7 years saying “$12,000 firm. Basically a Raptor without the badging. I know what I’ve got. Serious inquiries only.”

If I was GM, I’d count these as sold trucks and double my numbers for the month.

I think they’re much smaller than you might be imagining- only slightly bigger than hand-sized. 8.5x11 piece of paper sized. They use FPV racing drones for this. They also use wide-angle lenses at high resolutions, so the drone is usually farther from the subject than it appears.

An out of the box turbo is much different than the peak attainable overclocking speed.

Releasing the genetically modified male mosquitos that decimate the population by making females unable to reproduce has shown a great deal of promise in Brazil. I’d love to see that take off!

You did actually miss the first gay astronaut!

Interestingly, doesn’t this inadvertently make McClain the first openly LGBT astronaut? I don’t recall her relationship being public previously.

From left field-

And from left field, here’s this week’s gaming comic from XKCD!

Every website fighting for clicks with catchy image headers leads to the phenomenon most recently happening with the Tesla Truck- where articles about an unrevealed vehicle use ridiculously bad, over-the-top fan designs in their header images.
