I for example bought an ungrounded male to grounded female converter where you have to run your own ground. Now that sounds dangerous, doesn’t it? If somebody who doesn’t know what the fuck they’re doing, they either touch the exposed ground prong and become the ground, or they tie something to it and create a static…

Not to mention there’s a vested interest in keeping nuclear dead through bullshit means like misinformation. Just the other day I saw some article that had the headline “Are we running out of nuclear material for reactors?” As if there aren’t more tons of the various uranium isotopes still buried than there are tons…

I’m not defending them, I’m lamenting some of the information that was lost. Not even like, most of the information. Just some of it. It’s unlikely that there will be such a centralized catalogue of the offences of the internet’s zoosadists, child groomers, racial supremicists, and KiwiFarms posters themselves that…

Actually, yes. The people were fucking horrible, but some of the information they had was genuinely useful. This is kind of like the Unit 731 situation, where what the people did was horrific but the information that was gathered was used later to do some good. Like I said, these assholes finally managed put Woof away…

The thing about Kiwi Farms is that, as much of a shithole as the place was, it was still useful in keeping tabs on some of the worst people in the public (but not celebrity) sphere. They were basically the one place aggregating and cataloguing evidence that could be used to keep those people either within state help…

I think they used an FD3S RX-7 for the center section when making the moulds and just added onto it from there. But the actual profile is very much like an SLR McLaren.

Fuckin’ shit... Ugh, another company goes for the Google “Material” style of design with single flat colours and heavily simplified shapes. I hate this seeming fear and abhorrence for skeumorphism, dropshadows, shading, and embossing. One of the greatest logos of all time was the 2002 Pepsi logo, and people have been…

That problem with requiring training at the bottom to continue the top end of the business is true for just about everything that isn’t food services or sales these days. For example, the expectations of modern software development are so high that there’s often ten years of experience in enterprise level projects for…

It’s not as if they haven’t found the paper trail. It’s that the other parts of the executive branch have to find ways around Louis DeJoy since they can’t depose his dumb ass. He’s one of the beneficiaries of Oshkosh winning the contract, after all, along with other self serving leeches like Tim Ryan.

As someone who is absolutely self-destructively obsessed with making period correct fictional things (cars, movie posters, electronics) this is some low effort crap.

A supercar designed in 1994 would’ve taken cues from organic run at the tail end of the 1980s like the Citroen Activa and Isuzu Como concept cars:

Of note about the comments, used to be there’d be hundreds of comments on every article. Now you’re lucky to get over twenty. Some articles have zero comments even days later.

The problem isn’t “supporting U.S. manufacturing.” The problem is they don’t understand the mindset of the corporate world. If something suddenly becomes too expensive to make for that particular market niche with the new standards that bias towards U.S. manufacturing, corpo suits don’t adhere to the new standards to…

As an owner of an A34 Maxima with a manual, I note the passing but do not regret it. The A34 was stupidly fast for what it was. So much so that it almost killed me when I was much younger, much dumber, and much less experienced with FWD. But the A34 was still a shadow of the A33 (especially the 2003 SE with the VQ35),…

GM learned nothing of the Cutlass debacle. The fools. Cutlass Calais, Cutlass Salon, Cutlass Coupe, Cutlass Brougham, and Cutlass Supreme. At one point all sold at the same time, spread across four different size classes and three different body styles. And Oldsmobile never recovered from this brand dilution.

The thing is, Ford kinda stepped back on using the Mustang name. If you look at a lot of their marketing material they often just refer to it as the “Mach-E” now, and they use the higher trim levels in press photos or specific angles to hide the galloping horse badge or replace it with the GT badge. Even the URL on…

A real man drives a Subaru 360 wearing a fishnet shirt and blasting Benny Goodman.

So the playtriot’s losing his green tin can? I guess the next thing to go would be the sixty Rolexes the guy owns.

Not necessarily. Ford kept the original Lightning going until 1996 when they retired that particular body style, and the Lightning was comparable to the 454SS in terms of emissions.

Renting out the Post Office chargers during the day is a really good idea, actually. There were tons of local offices built along the rail lines between the 1860s and the 1920s, and even if a town isn’t big enough to have it’s own gas station there’s a pretty good chance it still has a Post Office.

That would actually kickstart wider adoption, trend towards more energy efficient... Well, everything, and also possibly start localized generation using solar and wind on the building’s roof.
