This is sort of what I mean, none of us — presumably all not mental health professionals — know the best way to deal with this kind of situation. What those passengers did was almost certainly the best they could’ve in the situation, and I don’t know that I’d have anything better to offer. Still, if someone is experien Read more

It’s used in just about everything! From the Model S and X to ebikes, scooters, laptops, vapes, 18650s are all over. The 20400s that Chris pulled from vapes here seem less popular, but they’re still used in plenty of places themselves Read more

I’ve actually been thinking about adding a modular helmet to the stable, just because it’d be great for filming -- ride around with the chin bar down, lift it to talk to the camera, then put it back down between shots. I wouldn’t want to daily one, it’s not worth the weight and visibility penalties, but it could be Read more

I’m of the firm belief that AM radio is important and to be preserved. Not everyone has a cell phone, not everyone has access to reliable charging and reliable income to pay the monthly bill, but everyone needs access to information on severe weather or other disasters.

This is definitely not a thing we do, headline and header image changes do happen occasionally but they’re infrequent and certainly not a formula. As for this headline, what, you never watched Animal House? Read more

Hey, we’re still complaining that NA Miatas are too expensive. Who’s saying we’ll be able to afford new performance cars when they’re only 30 years old? Read more

A satin black with gloss accents could be cool, but full-on matte just never looks even on a car body. Plus, it’s terrible to try and keep clean Read more

He actually goes into this in the video! Prior Dominator builds didn’t have gullwings, and the front doors actually couldn’t close if the rears were open due to the thickness of the armor. The gullwings prevent that issue from popping back up, as well as acting like an umbrella when they’re open for people to stand Read more

Head gaskets shouldn’t be an issue on this one — the old EJ engines had that issue, and the later Imprezas moved past those entirely. Read more

Where are the laser watches! The submarine cars! Give me camp back! Read more
