The DC-10 is an interesting example of what happens when planes go wrong. It launched with a bad design and hundreds of people died. The design was then fixed and it went on to serve a fine career. But the DC-10 never really shook the reputation for killing people. Read more

Depends on the aircraft. Is the Boeing a 777 but the Airbus an A320? I still get starry eyed over widebodies so 777 it is. Read more

How does it handle hills? One of the reasons why propeller-driven land vehicles usually suck is the fact that they don’t really like going up grades. Read more

The problem I foresee wouldn’t be at the DMV, but in interactions with law enforcement and the justice system. Florida currently has a bathroom ban in place as well as other restrictions on trans people. Through no fault of their own, a trans person can find themselves in Florida’s court system simply for being trans… Read more

It is not a loophole. First, transition for a trans person varies by person. Some people get every surgery, some people get some surgery, and some people get no surgery. Sometimes, because of health reasons (for example, my wife has an advanced form of Crohn’s Disease, and any surgery can be dangerous for her), you… Read more

It is not and has never been. Read past the headlines and you’ll learn that adults have long been the true targets for anti-trans legislation. It would be brilliant if it weren’t so aggravating. The politicians (and many in the media who take the bait) get everyone mad about minors while slipping in very real… Read more

If Florida ever becomes blue (lol, I know) Tampa will be my on my shortlist of places to live. It’s so freaking beautiful there and thus far, most of the locals I’ve met have been pretty sweet. Read more

I love how people assume — on Jalopnik of all places — that the desire for lots of horsepower is some toxic masculinity trait. I mean yeah, sure, there are definitely a lot of toxic bros who care about nothing more than a spec sheet. Read more

Oh my, that was nearly a decade ago!?!? I could have sworn that was like 5 years ago at best. *Brain malfunctions* Read more

Everyone else here covered how stupid going mach jesus in traffic is. The thing that gets me is the fact that he wanted to chase clout so much that he didn’t wait until the statute of limitations ran out. Read more

This video is illuminating. The Cybertruck acts like a vehicle with open diffs and no off-road traction control. Apparently, the Cybertruck does have an electronic locking front diff, but I guess Tesla is still figuring out how to make it work. Read more

Throw my wife into that pile. As counties and cities in my state are losing funds for their legal aid clinics, the people who used to run those clinics are sending people her way. She’s basically a one person legal aid clinic and a public defender for all cases. My wife’s the person you call when a cop beat you up,… Read more

Yeah, I’ve chatted with the teams of some successful YouTubers. You’d think that due to how...uh... silly, their videos are, that they’re just goofing around in front of a camera. But the big ones have teams of people, plan videos days or weeks ahead of time, and your free time is based on publishing schedule. Those… Read more

Aside from Boeing’s door plug scandal, not much has changed. If you follow the Aviation Safety Network or the Aviation Herald, you’ll find literally daily incidents and accidents. The vast majority of things that go wrong in aviation never get reported in the media. Now, reporters are watching like hawks for anything… Read more

I'm suddenly interested in seeing a car wash speedrun. Maybe you save some time by clipping through the roof and glitching under the floor? Read more

Vote for *better* Democrats. Remember when everyone was talking about how Biden was going to pack the Supreme Court and then he just... didn’t? Read more

I’ve been testing one of these for six months. Your commute is definitely possible during the summer. If by “chilly” you mean winter temps, you’ll make it there, but will very likely want to charge at least a little during the return trip. That’s if you’re planning on going 80+ mph. Read more

So, where do I get one of those comically oversized VW keys? Read more

A lot of wireless charging pads do little more than turn your phone into a block of lava. Read more
