I get that it was playing off the term witch hunt. It was clever. It also implied a joking wish for the drowning of the president - the office of the president (if not its current occupant) is presumably still at least somewhat respected by some of the voters we need to convert in 2018/2020.

Thanks to their opinions on contraception, fucking Trump voters will often just result in more Trump voters :-(
It absolutely doesn’t argue that they deserve the same amount of respect.
Early on, Obama and his white house constantly complained about Fox News and their unfair coverage. Although to us, it genuinely was massively factually unfair, there’s a large segment of the country that would equivocate Obama’s whining with Trump’s, and unfortunately, some of that fraction are the people you need…
So I know it’s unpopular, but please consider how you’d react to:
“We need to start conducting this witch hunt properly-we’ll throw Obama in a lake and, if he drowns, he’s innocent”
I believe it is within the president’s powers to raise tariffs up to 20%. Beyond that he needs congressional approval.
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.
Looks like there’s a >1km purely-vertical drop in Canada: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremes_on_Earth#Greatest_vertical_drop
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?
