1st gear: I’m hoping this entirely stupid tread finally starts to die a quick death. People who drive massive pick ups deserve our pity and laughter. Not only do they look like idiots cosplaying as some sad version of a “tough guy”, driving these things is torture. Just this weekend I was in a parking garage and had…

I was at CES this year and saw the LG transparent monitor in person. The picture quality is abysmal and the actual use cases for this is zero. Their proposal that this go in a window is also nonsense. Unless of course you want to play movies for your neighbors who can’t hear the sound and enjoy watching stuff with a…

Came here to say the same. Just back from east central Africa and these things are EVERYWHERE. I spent the last 10 days in one doing over 60mph over heavily grated dirt roads for hours on end every day. I thought the thing should have rattled itself apart by day 2 but it just kept going and going without missing a…

I rarely comment on stuff but have to agree with the others. This is an excellent comment 

Same here... for now. Rivian is a good example. A friend of mine has the pick up and loves everything about it EXCEPT their native screen. Rivian also insists on controlling all the technology so no projection is available. He hates it and it’s why I won’t get a Rivian, as much as I like them otherwise. 

I haven’t tried it with bourbon, but brandy is sweeter while keeping some of that smokey flavor. Hope it works out! 

I am so fucking tired of tech bros. They really are a fucking menace and a scourge on society and the planet.

This is so true. Another vital component to this equation, that’s missing in his metaphor, is that the “internet” was invented by DARPA, (not a company and thus having fundamentally different goals and approaches) who’s sole goal was to create a tool with a very limited purpose (roughly a communications tool that is…

I had the same thought. I’ve worked in tech and start ups and have seen how easy it is to burn through cash, but IDK if most people truly think about just how massive an amount of money $9 billion dollars truly is. And they aren’t even buying expensive assets like cutting edge manufacturing equipment or even real…

Pro-tip: adding a tiny bit of brandy to the dough (with a splash of vanilla) takes chocolate chip cookies to another level.

NYE has always been my favorite holiday because it’s international and not-religious. (Thanksgiving is a close second). But since about 1990 I’ve done it in a different city every year and it’s been amazing. Sometimes it’s wild, sometimes mellow, but always somewhere new.

Wait, what region did or do you think they belong in? Just curious. 

I think this gives WAAAY too much leeway to the owner, many of whom don’t live in the neighborhood of their rental houses and don’t care about neighbors. Especially in idiotic red states that have preemptively banned cities from regulating Air BNBs (like Arizona).

This is exactly the right reply. Thank you. 

It’s amazing that humans have made it as far as we have.

This. All day this.

This is my assumption, as well. If the goal is to make a bundle selling an exclusive tourist experience to the ultra wealthy, the first video can’t be of guests bent over retching their lunch and spending 1/2 their trip on the can.

IDK if this will ever be truly real and actual cars will actually ship, but I was by their showroom yesterday and the place was full of people checking them out.

How did this not make the list? Mercedes GT is one of the best driver-focused interiors I’ve ever had the pleasure to drive.

If you look at the front left fender, it also seems to have a weird, blocky turn light on it, which makes me think this is a special use vehicle at the airport. Maybe a traffic-control type thing.
