Ultra minis like this are extremely common in Europe and are great as space and energy efficient city cars. I recently went to Rome for the first time in eight years and ultra minis are among the most common types of vehicles for most city dwellers and are almost as popular as scooters and motorbikes. My favorite is…

I can see you and your friends sitting there like a collegiate-age “King of the Hill” posse. “Eh-yup, look at that one run!”

Here’s 38 seconds of video with the exit sequence beginning at just underneath the convention center.

If that many people are slamming into that wall, it’s a sign that something’s wrong with the road design. You need some flashing lights in that tunnel, some actual speed limit signs, something more than what they have now. Drivers aren’t going to always be paying 100% attention, and highway designers need to keep that…

This is incredibly poor roadway design. That should be a white speed limit sign, not a yellow sign (which is a suggested speed for curves and is geared towards the biggest, most ungainly vehicle possible).

You might end up getting tired of this topic, but a bunch of poorly engineered metal without crumple zones. air bags or any sort of augmented braking/stability systems is the opposite of safe. You would be far safer in a newish Corolla than you would be in this barge. Nearly as many people died yearly in auto…

There once was a man from Nantucket
Whose newspaper told him to suck it
They did not approve
And told him to move
From public beach where he had stuck it

Drove his truck into town

There once was a man from Nantucket

“how there’s the FAA regulating what goes into passenger jets so they’re built well for near worry-free traveling so we don’t have to be engineering experts.”

Why not? Hitchhiking is just Uber without the app.

I could live with a bailout if it was a combo of what the feds did with GM and Chrysler in ‘08: The company gets taken off the market, and the government gets an ownership stake until they confident there’s a good management structure in place. It’s not perfect, but its better than whatever the hell has been going on…

Let’s suppose things get so bad for Boeing due to their own trashing of their quality standards and shipping defective product that demand dries up and Boeing goes bankrupt. The Boeing management jackasses will descend upon DC screaming and crying for a bailout—absolutely guaranteed—privatized profits combined with…

I’m no tesla fan, but is R&D work, pure and simple and not eveything pans out.  

“Outside Agitators” sounds like something George Wallace would say. 

For real. The Right has done a fantastic job of convincing young white men that they are superior and everyone else is just here to cater to them. Thank you for pointing that out.

How did this dumbass even become a Deputy Commissioner? These morons who work in public capacity and earning hundreds of thousands of dollars should be publicly called out for stupid shit like this. Not in twitter comments, but on actual live television. Next time he’s on air, journalists need to ask him to explain…

Side note....that’s a killer deal on a Kryptonite Fagheddaboudit.

So NYPD leadership doesn’t seem to know what a “New York City” bike lock is? Like, literally locks that are advertised as being safe enough to trust in NYC by companies that don’t insure the performance of any of their lesser locks in NYC? Never heard of them? Literally an entire category of locks named after your…

It’s like watching the death and dismemberment of a beloved collection of websites...
