    Pullin’ out some deep chemistry for that reference.
    It’d fit perfectly though. A wasteful, narrow purpose, and expensive process to fuel wasteful, narrow purpose, and expensive cars.

    Synthetic fuels? Seriously? That’s like saying you’re going to transition to polycarbonate nanotubes because plastic is being phased out.

    Listen, just because we’re moving away from oil cracking that creates gasoline as a byproduct doesn’t mean we still can’t make ethanol.

    though everyone wants a small, thin device,

    We’re already laughing now. Why wait to ridicule stupidity?

    Higher energy density in a package just a millimeter or two larger in every dimension. We’re talking about a 30% energy density increase just because of the increased surface area of the electrolytic mat inside the cell.

    The use of 21700 cells is kind of big news, considering they’ve been on the wider market just barely over two years. You normally don’t get that quick of adoption.

    The raccoon would drive around the hole and head straight into somebody’s pool so they could wash the food they found stuffed in the car’s cupholder.

    This complexity is stupid and I’ve said it was stupid day one. They could’ve had no door handles at all just by hiding a button in an alcove at the trailing edge of the door. Still achieves their goal of aerodynamics and looking sleek or whatever without stopping people from opening the door.

    How the hell does an unmanaged file extension cause that to happen?!

    Like, I’m sitting here thinking of all the times I’ve coded things, all the times I’ve done data recovery, all the times I’ve dealt with everything from files without extension names to files without headers...

    The only thing I can think of is they

    The Malibu was going to be my answer as well. It was one of the forerunners to the muscle car and the personal luxury coupe, cementing both roles while the Pontiac Tempest and Ford Thunderbird each only did half the equation. It led directly to the Chevelle SS in 1965 and Monte Carlo in 1970.

    Then the third generation

    Fuck this stupid shit. The problem isn’t big rail yards. That’s actually a benefit of efficiency. Railyards let you just shift things from car to car and keep moving.

    The problem is we have to offload things from trains to trucks so the trucks can take that shit on surface roads to warehouses, before being sorted and

    Ice Cube signed over his right to be cool when he started playing a cop in film.

    And Pit Bull? Seriously? Two kinds of people like Pit Bull. Music producers who are panicking and trying to find something to fight online streaming services so they can continue fueling their cocaine habit, and trainers at Planet Fitness

    People really like the ‘70 Pontiacs in spite of the funky Rhinopithecus lookin’ fronts, not because of them. They’re just imposing cars. Bunkie fucked Pontiac’s front end design something good before he jumped ship to start ruining Ford the same way, but at least he didn’t stop them from making the cars wider and

    It’s hostile architecture. It’s became a really big point of debate in recent years, because often times the money spent to put these measures in place and maintain them is many times more what it would cost to just improve homeless shelters and give subsidies or benefits to soup kitchens and placement centers.

    In

    It looks like they hit a distressingly high water table or maybe even an aquifer. The water comes rushing in, but later footage shows it doesn’t get any higher than about fifteen feet below ground surface. If that were the river it’d keep pushing until it was level with ground surface and maybe a little above due to

    You mean with the random lane expansions that follow no known logic? Or perhaps the strange and bizarre way it seems that there’s no elevation for the road surface above the riverway?

    Amtrak also bargained for that when Conrail was conceived. If Conrail never existed Amtrak couldn’t use that little debt marker to share rail lines.

    I doubt they’re gonna let some rich asshole fuck up their Class 1 and 2 lines to have an affair with an intern under the caboose skylight.

    MK2 Fiat Panda 4x4 with solid axles and a six inch full shock lift. Rollcage outside the bodywork with diamond plate steel sheaths along the rocker panels.

    Now THAT would be a movie car that would catch eyes and fit in with Nathan’s whole shtick of nearly getting shot in poorly developed South American jungles.

    This dude breaks four laws at once and admits to doing it nearly a dozen times previously, and he gets reinstated.

    I thought you meant like, outside of the G/O Media sphere.

    Huh. Maybe they just hate TikTok videos so much they refuse to apply the codec plug that lets them embed them?
