People and their entitlements when it comes to dogs is getting out of hand. Went grocery shopping this weekend with the wife, and while we were at the local store, I saw 6 different people walking through the aisles with dogs on leashes. None of them had any indication that were “Service Animals”. (Vests or anything…

Equal parts fascinating as it is disappointing for Russel. While I am the hard-ass that would say the team is responsible for staying above the weight limit in any conventional situation, one would think there’s an argument for weighing the cars without wheels just to avoid this problem. A team getting punished a team …

It’s the same for caravanners - the vaunted “grey nomads” - in Australia. Take up an inordinate amount to resources for tiny towns, but actually contribute fuck-all. They bring their own food, own accommodation, but towns are expected to build and maintain camp sites for them.

Even in the more walkable/transit friendly neighbourhoods, the incumbents (re. older) are incredibly territorial, and prefer to block new housing, or really anything that’d benefit anybody else.

y’all are missing out. they help you with acceleration and passing and all kinds of things. my automatic Honda fit has them. if I’m in ‘drive’ then yes if you hit them it reverts back to auto but i can drop my shifter from D to S and then it will not shift without user input. you’ll redline. i can shift from d to s at…

To keep platforms cool would require isolating them from the tracks. A platform edge door system would do that, as well aas eliminating death and injury from being pushed onto the tracks or falling. . The problem is the hardware is costly and trains have all have common dimensions and door placement plus signaling and…

Got to admit, those wings look delish!

Isn’t it crazy how scared they are of pretty much the entire modern world? They like to frame it as angry or indignant (if they knew what the word meant), but really they’re just scared little bitches lashing out at anything they don’t understand. It would be sad if it weren’t for the people in power encouraging them…

They launch their heavy rockets from Hainan Island on the coast anyway - and their manned rockets from in the desert.  It’s only the Long March that launches from this location.

Its silly, it really is. Also goes to show just how good the GR86/BRZ chassis is.

Respectfully: 86 > Miata

“We have to save cycling as a sport” is a dumb argument for why bicycles need to have road access.

See, that is not Sharing the Road. It goes both ways. Drivers and riders must be mindful of each other. As a cyclist myself, it really pisses me off to see the entitled, dangerous behavior that some cyclists have.

There is one particular road I drive every day it’s one of three heavily travel ones that connects one side of the county with the other it has a downhill stretch that is designated for both bikes and cars and has those cute little share of the road signs. A certain percentage of cyclists mean”shating the road” is…

Who pissed in your cheerio’s this morning. I explicitly stated

Part of the delay comes from the fact that the issues are in the service module, which is always jettisoned and always burns up on reentry. So they can only study the problems by looking at instrument readings, and only while Starliner is still in orbit.

The Aussies have champs as well:

So start again. A little inconvenience for a few years is worth a bright future!

Cities are way better than they were the last you set foot in one for more than a hot minute.

I live in such a town (Dunedin, FL) and I love it.
