Yea, I think you’re on the right track with this thinking. The issue is that in conditions where the wet tire would be the best option, they would put so much mist into the air that drivers couldn’t reasonably race.

You might notice a bigger noise difference inside the cabin, as turbine engines are pretty damn noisy. Also, since the propellers being placed so far back the fuselage on this particular aircraft.

This could change things for the short haul flights to places like islands where the only other option is by sea.  Seattle to the San Juan islands is a natural fit.  All that would be needed is a recharging facility rather than having to haul fuel to the island.

Did you miss the part where they said of an entire airlines 400 flights per day that 80% of them could be covered by these?  There are many many many flights that take place every day that can be covered by this range.  Just because we arent electrifying 747s doesnt make this not useful.

Sounds like we found one of the assholes that goes to these gatherings. And this was not the only incident. If you follow the threads on social media Wildwood people are claiming the police blotter was filled the whole weekend with accidents and other carnage. And there was at least one other incident with serious…

The unsactioned gathering is what draws these folks in. This guy was just the worst offender becuase he killed two people.  Please tell me what “other points of view” I should examine about having modded cars drag race in the middle of a small town with a lot of pedestrian traffic. 

Counterpoint: do these actually hurt anyone? I see rolling coal below and obviously sideshows above, but I don’t really see any issue with people making their cars the way they like them. This is ONLY pertaining to the modifications, not what an owner does after the car is modified (drag race, donuts in an…

Actually, it seems like you’re doing an even more misleading thing by using the base price only, not accounting for options or higher trim models.

I’ve noticed something sad. I’m not seeing Jalopnik articles with 300+ comments these days?

ban working on cars during red flag (other than cooling fans and tire warmers... no tire changes, no repairs, no wing adjustments), eliminate the standing start after red flag and go with an outlap that is the like the last lap of a normal safety car.

I know that a negative take on anything new does appeal to some readership, but with this subject, it’s another step in reducing emissions.

And SF real estate is only limited because of extremely restrictive zoning. There’s no shortage of land, it’s just that a lot of the land that’s there is not allowed to be used to its potential. We’re talking about spending a lot of money to convert a cruise ship into rather shitty apartments in order to save maybe a…

I sincerely want to live in a world where it’s surprising and rare to see weird toxicity boil up to the surface of any mainstream fandom.

There are only 9 races to go and Verstappen is leading the championship by 109 points. He doesn’t need external help to win. Whoever thought of this conspiracy, those who buy into it, and especially those that wrote those comments, are deranged. Yes, that’s a strong word, but it’s the right word.

I take pleasure in it. Seeing the rich minorly inconvenienced is one of the few pleasures I can afford in life

It’s not unusual for people who grew up in socialist countries (esp. Eastern Europe) to lean towards the right-wing politically. I’m sure Russian coal-baron Gennady Ayvazyan worked very hard. His partner in the coal business is Iskander Kakhramonovich Makhmudov, who should be familiar as one of Russia’s top…

People who own yachts did not achieve success honestly.

That sentence you quoted didn’t strike me as sour or jealous at all. It is you who is reading way too much into this.

Also, this yacht has insurance.

That’s my question as well. This guy was working in a dangerous occupation with a legitimate risk of death or disability, and was being paid to do so by a very large media conglomerate. There should be absolutely no need for any type of additional funding beyond the preventative measures he should have taken (life…
