Can you post the RSS URL your feedly is using? The one I’ve been using for ages appears to have broken, and the one at the bottom of the page doesn’t work either.

Totally off-topic: Is it by design that all the gawker RSS feeds have died? The main way I find my way to your articles is via RSS reader, and none of the blogs I’m subscribed (gizmodo, jalopnik, io9, deadspin, jezebel) to appear to have had an RSS update since May 19.

I’m pretty sure that in every racing series ever, the team with the most money tends to win. Restrictions on development tend to just make it so that the rich teams outspend the poor teams on the things that aren’t restricted, and so still win.

One has to assume that the planes back from the Bahamas were greeted by class action lawyers and several dozen conversations went like this:

Fun fact: It would be easier to fire Dan Snyder into _another_ star instead of the Sun. The Earth orbits at about 30km/s, which means you’d need to fire him backwards at 30km/s to make him drop into the sun. Very expensive, would require a high-quality rocket.

I gotta say, it’s pretty impressive that there are sports like Indy and NASCAR (aka draft-racing on ovals) where bulk crashing at 200mph is _expected_ and it’s generally assumed everyone will be fine.

But if he played hardball with Blizzard, they would have piled the lawyers on, and the legal cost to him would have been far in excess of what he could’ve gotten.

3280ft is suspeciously close to exactly 1km, which makes me think the root height estimation was “he fell 1km”.

Alonso has said the car is great at corners in a bunch of other races this year. Remember “we are the fastest in the corners!” from China.

Obviously they couldn’t use that while on the move (then you’d be talking about a car powered by its own motion, aka a perpetual motion device) but that’s not a bad idea to plonk down overnight whenever they’re stopped. I bet you could get a couple-kW unit that would still fit in the car, and surely some places

Solar power isn’t dense enough when you’re talking about car-sized solar panels.

If you’ve built billions of dollars of long-lived housing, infrastructure, plumbing, electrical distribution, and other major installations in a place that will be underwater (or flooded much more frequently within a decade or two), do you consider that a problem?

Keep in mind that just because a boat can travel from China to Europe X days faster doesn’t mean they just turn it off for 5 days, saving the pollution. They’ll just turn it around and go back to China, burning bunker oil the whole way. A container ship that is sitting still is a container ship that isn’t making

The oceans becoming acidified and killing many coral and fish species is still a problem.

I wonder what the comment on their customer file is.

300x300 miles, which a ship can cover in less than a day.

Completely agreed.
