“Sadly, Bally wouldn’t get very long to enjoy his miniature bomber and he passed away in 2020.”

“it could be argued that anybody who came up with something that wasn’t crap would have eaten everybody else’s lunch”

I don’t know how old you are or how much you’ve interacted with various technologies, but if you were around in the early 2000's and used a Creative Nomad Jukebox or Archos Jukebox, you know what MP3 players were like before the iPod came out. They worked and were pretty cool and cutting edge, but they weren’t…

Tesla is the antithesis of Apple, both for good and for bad. Apple has rarely been a market innovator, rarely being at the leading edge of technology (unlike Tesla). But Apple takes a user-centric design philosophy that makes their products generally much more advanced in the integration of technology, and more…

Traffic circles are from Europe. Europe is Socialist. Socialism is Communism. China is Communist. Traffic circles are a Chinese plot to destroy America by starting tornados that take away our Freedoms!

I sabotaged myself in a job interview with them about 20 years ago, thinking they were still tied to their more anti-communistic stance, rather than their more progressive present positions. I still regret that.

I feel like Gibson’s remarks may actually enrage women who believe in the constitutionality of abortion as laid out in Roe v Wade enough to challenge the law by getting abortions just past the six week deadline. And thus I feel that Gibson is actually abetting these now-illegal abortions. I can sue him, right? 

I think it’s interesting that there’s all this advice about what to do if you think your kid is being bullied, but no mention of what to do if you think your kid is the bully. I mean, someone’s kid is the bully, right? Is the assumption that the parents just don’t care?

I think Sur Ron and Super 73 are good looking bikes. But I would definitely choose this over those. Or the CE 04, which I also love the look of. The fact that they brought the CE 04 to production barely unchanged from the concept gives me hope for this one too, though the price of nearly $15,000 puts a bit of a damper…

Being a fan of three-wheelers I am glad to see Morgan continuing to evolve. I never was a big fan of that V-Twin in front. Now that they’re making the front a little sleeker, maybe they could do some work in the rear and make it look less bathtubby. If they really wanted to evolve, and channel the “early jet age” they…

My wife, who is very non-confrontational, was aghast. She still sometimes tries to stop me from confronting people about this sort of stuff, but other times actually asks me to do it because she knows that it’s a special skill that sometimes needs to be unleashed. I’m like the Hulk; sometimes I’m wrong and incredibly,…

What cut of lamb or pork?

“Now, as for the second part of your question: should you keep on tippin’ even when the service is slippin’? Dollface, I’ll be straight with you. You mention that you’re comfortably middle class, so I think you should keep tipping generously because it’s the right thing to do. If you can swing 30%, tip 30%.”

Ok, Stan. 

Yeah you’d think a BIG FUCKING COP CAR WITH FLASHING LIGHTS would be a little more of a “primary factor” for Autopilot, but I guess not :)

That second map... seems kinda sus. Are you saying that’s the roads that are mapped by Autopilot or just all the roads that exist?

My point is that I often see cop cars that are the left-most object in the breakdown lane, sometimes protruding into the traffic lane. Like this;

I dig the look. I almost bought an R60 back in my college days - the prospect of a bad head gasket scared me off, but I still question that decision. I’m not really a cruiser guy though so the idea of a nearly 900 lb bike is a little daunting. 

One can’t make data from individual incidents but it seems like there is a pattern here. Tesla’s “camera only” approach to safety systems seems flawed. Is it the multicolor markings of emergency vehicles that’s messing with the Tesla system? Or is it just overall bad and it just gets the headlines when it’s an…
