Red Bull’s increasingly quixotic quest to find a second person who can successfully operate the RB21 proceeds apace.

MBS is a stain on humanity. Not because of this, but this is profoundly stupid. If he’s considering abolishing the cost cap because the bureaucracy is hard, he might as well do away with weight limits, fuel regulations, and track limits. All of those things are hard to keep track of. They require cameras and scales and accountants and all of that costs money and effort, so he figures, ‘let’s do away with it’, not realizing that without all of that shit, the FIA is just a logo and a wikipedia entry.

This might get a bit spicy. Probably not the conditions the rookies dreamt of, for their debut race.

He stuck around this long and even though he’s Bill fucking Shatner, it’s hard to say he doesn’t deserve one last ride. I just wish he’d played it more gracefully these last 30 or so years.

It’s not illegal to download books without yourself offering them for upload. What’s illegal is when you feed those books into your reality devouring content monster and it outputs all that copyrighted content in a slightly different order and you profit off that content vomit.

Just pass a law that prevents the government using the word ‘sinking’, ban research into subsidence and, for good measure, disallow local governments from providing sand bags. Problem solved Florida style.

It’s pretty, but it was built for purely practical reasons. This is an old towpath, and the bridge is designed in such a fashion that horses towing barges can switch sides without having to unhitch.

In case you were wondering, they’re saying that Apple doesn’t outsource its design. It outsources its fabrication like nobody’s business. I always kinda thought that’s what outsourcing meant, but apparently there are companies that neither design nor fabricate their products. I guess their core competency is just taking the money.

I crave singe damage!

Rest in Peace, Lt. Ogawa.

That’s . . . not what cute means.

That’s pretty much the ballgame, folks. Try to move somewhere where it’s always cold and in a decade or two you may still be alive.

‘Politically correct’ is what people used to say when they got called out for being awful human beings before ‘woke’ was invented.

I imagine they’ll have backtracked on this decision long before then.

I kind of assumed it was based on one of those ‘how they photograph food’ articles that pops up every so often with shaving cream instead of whip cream and motor oil instead of pancake syrup. Pretty sure I’ve seen one where they mix glue in the pizza cheese to make it more stringy.

Check out Strange New Worlds. It’s the trekkiest of all the new new treks.

I thicc, therefore I am

According to who? Did the NTSB clear this? Are they even allowed to clear this? If this thing fucks up and kills somebody, will the judge let the driver off the hook 'cuz the manufacturer told them everything’s cool?

It has been six days, twenty-three hours, and fifteen minutes since out last major security breach.

Eminent domain the final mile and be done with it. These companies have no business holding our national infrastructure hostage.
