I just want to comment that your coverage of this has been top notch, you’re one of my favorites of the new writers. A pure enthusiast and it shows.

In Germany they used to say that if you wanted your very own Starfighter, just buy a plot of land out in the country and wait.

My dad was in the RCAF and had a friend who punched out of these twice- he ended up a lot shorter and had back problems for the rest of his life

The news story headline should have been:

I’ll park my car wherever I want. 

Any bidders on this incredibly dangerous aircraft?

“I really thought about how the GT-R NISMO Special Edition not only transports us physically, but emotionally and psychologically, and aimed to capture this feeling through my work.”

I’ll never understand this. Its like walking around carrying a suitcase everywhere you go, just in case you might need to move something.

NFT’s are Beanie Babies for tech bros, and I will die on this hill.

Having a truck is nice. Using a truck is nice. Driving a truck is miserable.

I never got NFTs, right click save image as, and you have a copy of the image and can use it as much as you want for personal use. A real painting on the other hand, has different textures and can be viewed from different angles, something you can’t replicate on screen.

1st: Stupid is as stupid does. Elon is in many respects a genius, but his reliance on endless hype will catch up to him - if it isn’t already. NHSTA is 100% correct on this one. Calling something “Full Self Driving” when it clearly isn’t is asking for disaster.

OR maybe we could get the Federal Trade Commission to start doing their job and crack down on companies who use words wrongly.  Like Full Self Driving for a product that doesn’t fully self drive.  Or the use of the word ‘Unlimited’ when there are in fact limits.

1st: Musk’s insistence on overhyping his products is going to be his undoing. I get that he doesn’t want to call it some boring jargony thing but if he had just not called it “Autopilot” but something else Tesla would be having few problems at the moment.

Holy shit - talk about truth in advertising. This truly did look Rad! I hope i can come to one of these sometime. That little Suzuki truck is something i did not know existed and i love it. 

I foresee an upswing in Frank Stallone jokes in the A.V. Club comment sections. “Who saw that plot twist coming on ___? You guessed it. Frank Stallone.”

Every time I watch that clip I have to wonder why on earth Conan thought it was a good idea to taunt Norm with “Do something with that you freak”, but I am forever grateful that he did.

Well, the light was on.

“Death is a funny thing. Not funny haha, like a Woody Allen movie, but funny strange, like a Woody Allen marriage.”

Unfortunately, while he was getting treated, he was at the podiatrist’s office.
