Lady Gaga never said she was victimized in the same way, she said he was an emotionally abusive asshole. That’s basically what everyone who’s worked with him has said, and it’s not hard to believe - from his previous press, he sounds like a classic type-A narcissist (although I’ll admit he’s got the talent to back some…

But Tavarish said it was a better value than a new Mercedes C-Class!

Was that the one where, instead of a traditional combustion engine, they had a miniature donkey on a treadmill?

My Dad had an ‘85 XJ6. I loved the way it looked but my GOD was it a piece of shit.

In that case, a “proper” XJ should have sub-mopar build quality and electronics designed so poorly it counts as sabotage. It should lose 90% of its value in five years and use interior finishes evocative of dollhouse furniture.

I’m not against developing a new aircraft; the mistake is in making the F-35 some kind of flying Swiss Army knife, instead of developing multiple new craft for specific roles. Eventually the F-35 WILL work, but it’s going to cost more than any weapons system we’ve ever developed, for relatively limited (if broad)…

The F-35 eliminates situations where defense contractors are unable to afford trail-access lodges in Aspen AND Jackson Hole.

Why should engineers worry about aesthetics at this stage in development? And since when has aesthetics mattered for military hardware? Aircraft carriers look like less-graceful garbage barges, the osprey looks like a rejected transformer made out of factory-second parts, and submarines look like enormous vibrators.

Yes. I hate its customers and everything it (and they) stands for, but god damn if it isn’t the most beautiful new car I’ve ever seen.

B-21 Boomerang really captures the look of it...

Hey, at least they’ve got some working prototypes - more than these guys ever showed up with.

Here’s a link to all of Tesla’s current service centers. Electric cars are very, very mechanically simple compared to modern gas-powered vehicles, and a lot of minor issues can be fixed with a software update. They don’t need a service center at every dealer, because a much smaller percentage of their cars will…

I take public transit. My cock is expensive but satisfies 6 million people every day.

Patrick, can you post a link to follow you on Spotify or something? I love the music you post and I’ve discovered so many bands I love through these posts...

So, a hypercar?

A girl skipping the line to pee in the boys’ bathroom would be breaking state law. The mind boggles.

There was only one state-level society north of Mexico anyway (Cahokia), and it existed in the dixiest Fever swamps of the southeast. By all means, let’s give it back.

My republican parents are now pro-Bernie, because they think a public option is the only viable way to reform our healthcare system. They also support implementing a Postal Bank, so any citizen can access credit-Union-like banking. I'm proud of them and deeply concerned that their house has a undetected gas leak or…

If it was Chrysler or GM they would have waited until the 5th model year to issue a recall.

That’s what it looks like to me...if it’s not a hoax, I bet someone set off a small charge near the window (much smaller than a typical suicide bomb) and wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, so they got pulled out and partially shredded by the fuselage.
