They’re already spending close to a thousand dollars a month on parking, plus another $300 a month or so on tolls. Anybody spending $1,200 a month to drive into Manhattan for their commute, when there are perfectly acceptable commuter trains they could be taking, is not in a financial situation where they’re “barely…

The next thing you know, you’re going to say that most people born in the Western Hemisphere consider themselves Americans.....

Pretty rich coming from “The Sun Never Sets on the British Empire”

She did the correct thing. Fuck those platitudes. A trump supporter killed dozens. Fuck thoughts and prayers.

Thoughts and prayers aren’t going to do anything to fix this problem. You are missing the point, you dolt.

Mark my words. We’re going to find out it’s the same issue as the Lion Air crash and we’re going to find out that the pilots failed to do the one thing Boeing specifically said they were supposed to in such an instance. Ethiopian is going to talk about how experienced their pilots were in order to save face. Boeing’s…

Counterpoint: automated weapons should be outlawed. War is bad because of the human cost involved, not the economic cost. That is what makes war a moral project — it has consequences.  Reducing the human cost involved ensures that there will be more wars.  This may not blow back on us, but we are still responsible…

Rob has said on some other podcasts and videos (The Smoking Tire I heard him on originally) that 100% of the manual cars they have rented before were crashed in some form. Not even like 9 / 10 but 100%.

If you choose to work insane hours, that’s fine. Especially if it’s your own company or if it’s an anomaly where a rare deadline that has to be met. The article mentions the employees are forced to work these hours. They can always quit, but still you’re a rather shitty employer if you expect 60 hour work weeks, every…

Are you proud of the fact that you’re overworked by whatever shitty organization you work for?

“accusations that Subaru perpetuates a pressure-cooker environment”

You remember that Sunday morning, two months after dad left, you wake up and notice mom’s hair is seriously mussed, and then you walk into the kitchen and dad is making eggs like the past eight weeks never happened . . .

“Evidently I’m the only person who things the car did what it should have.

The logical conclusion to “better safe then sorry” is not even driving a ZL1 or going to an autocross. The risk has to be managed.

Answer: People would shit on my uncle when he owned a Toyota Tundra for not having a “real truck” they will absolutely ICE out an electric truck for being a little hippie bitch.

Russians are good at maths. I’m sure each launch will be perfect.

Counterpoint - ICBMs are also inertially guided, travel similar distances and have CEPs in the 10's of meters range.

I’d assumed it was the most intense you could exercise “sustainably,” as in until you ran out of energy rather than a cardiopulmonary (“winded”) or lactic (?) threshold, with the added provision that your movements become significantly more wasteful when you move up to running. Basically, you want to stay in that…

Please don’t write posts with headlines like this until we know what is going on with Drew.

They cant afford it. They’re profitable but they don’t have the scale to invest in major engine redesigns like other mfr’s. They also are under pressure from CAFE standards with their whole fleet being heavier and less efficient due to the AWD than many other mfr’s. That means more power has to come with more…
