It Seems Your Tesla Will Recognize A 3.5-Inch Floppy Disk Drive - Jalopnik Using audio files on 3.5-inch floppy disks probably isn't the most efficient way to play music in your Tesla, but if you have the right adapter, it can work.

The most interesting fact I found while researching this is that it would take about 100,000 3.5-inch floppies to store Baldur’s Gate 3. And I thought six floppies for Windows 3.1 was a lot.

Watch This Twin-Turbocharged Porsche 911 GT3 RS Outrun A Helicopter - Jalopnik The Porsche has the horsepower advantage, but the helicopter is lighter and doesn't have to deal with any traction issues.

A Porsche vs. a helicopter seems like an unfair fight, until the Porsche wins.

And now, for something completely different. I went ghost hunting! Virtually, at least. 😊 And threw random stuff at everyone.

Exactly. When Supernatural disappeared off Netflix early in my viewing (yes, I’m a bit late), I bought it on DVD so that would never happen to me again. Yes, it’s back on Prime now, but I’m ready for when they drop it, too.

That’s my favorite flavor of my favorite seltzer. I drank it all the time when I lived there. 😊

Meanwhile, human writers like me are constantly accused of being AI. My canned response to that is, “Negative. I am a meat popsicle.”

Trump Expects The High Gas Prices He Caused To Stick Around Even If He Ends The War He Started - Jalopnik As peace negotiations stall, and there's no exit strategy in sight, even Trump has been forced to admit that prices aren't coming down anytime soon.

Well, he wanted regime change. At this rate, he might get it, just not in the country he expected.

Car Seat Manufacturers Face New Testing Regulations To Keep Kids Safer - Jalopnik Many child seats available in the U.S. already offer some form of side impact protection to meet existing European Union standards.

It’s about time standards and testing procedures came out of the 1970s when they were first established. Better late than never.

It’s not the collab we expected, but it’s the collab we need.

Diesel Prices Are Choking The Trucking Industry, And We'll All Feel The Pain - Jalopnik Trucking companies aren't going to eat the cost of fuel themselves.

Gas is up more than $1/gal since we picked a fight with Iran, but diesel is up $2/gal. Everything we buy rides on a truck at some point, and those extra costs are going to bite us, too.

Radio Isn't Dead, Half Of In-Car Audio Time Is Still AM/FM Radio - Jalopnik The popularity of streaming platforms has skyrocketed in recent years, but that doesn't keep AM and FM radio from dominating in-car listening time.

Contrary to popular belief, streaming has not killed the radio star. This is one of those times I enjoyed learning something new while I write.

This Adorable Miniature Motorcycle May Just Be The Smallest Ducati Ever Made - Jalopnik The Mini Marcellino is a pretty neat bike, even aside from its Ducati connection.

From the Itty Bitty Ducati Committee...

We could do with a bit less international power and taking care of the mess at home instead.

That's exactly why I don't have a daily driver/tinker car of my own these days. I'd like one, but there's no room in the budget.

A Lot Of Americans Aren't Sold On This Whole Car-Centric Life Thing After All - Jalopnik We live in a society designed for and built around the automobile, and many people don't seem very happy about it.

I lived in a cohousing community in Massachusetts for two years. I enjoyed walking to visit friends, and carpooling to the commuter rail station with neighbors who became friends and worked a similar schedule to mine. I like cars, but I'd enjoy not needing one to do everything or get anywhere.

Toyota Partners With Volvo Group And Daimler Trucks To Keep Trying To Make Hydrogen Work - Jalopnik While Cellcentric already knows how to build a fuel cell, adding Toyota's expertise to the mix can only improve their work further.

Toyota is still trying to make fuel cells work. The technology got us to the moon (the first time, because I have to make that distinction now), but finding a hydrogen refueling station along the way is nearly impossible. That's why it's really a no-go for commercial trucking.

Even I’m 66%! Some of it’s due to my New England upbringing. Some from my Canadian ex-wife. Some from my travel, camper van and motorcycle (I had to ride the Cabot Trail, which led me to Cape Breton Highlands and Fundy National Parks)

I'd forgotten until now that I won "Comment of the Day" with my comment on this. 🙂

@jerrysmith6559.bsky.social in my travels today, seeking crosslinks for an article I'm writing, I found this article of yours on Jalopnik. I enjoyed it then, and I enjoy it now.

NASA's "The Edge of Two Worlds" photo of the moon with a cresent Earth in the background, plus an Eagle from "Space: 1999"

In my article, I wrote that this photo looks like a screen grab from a modern remake of "Space: 1999." Here's what I mean. 🙂

I spent October 2021 traveling nearly the entire length of Route 66 in my camper van with some friends. My story begins here.

New 'Earthset' Photo Gives Earthlings A Unique Glimpse At Our Own Home - Jalopnik We need some positivity right now, and Artemis II is delivering, not just to the U.S. but to the entire world.

“From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.” -- Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 Lunar Module Pilot

Jeep Lightly Restomods An XJ Cherokee To Be Nicer Instead Of Wilder - Jalopnik The subtlest of this year's Easter Jeep Safari builds is also the most appealing.

I learned to drive in one of these.

Waymo's Stopped Testing Robotaxis In New York City, So What Now? - Jalopnik The New York Department of Transportation has given no indication whether the permits will be renewed or expanded.

There are few things that Boston and New York agree on, but this is one of them.

I never thought I'd be living in a time like the 1960s, simultaneously marveling at moon missions and scared of nuclear war.

Detroit Police Found Woman's Car The Day It Was Stolen, Couldn't Be Bothered To Tell Her For Half A Year - Jalopnik Crane's only chance to get the car back now is to buy it at auction, bidding against anyone else who might want it.

"What we have here is failure to communicate."

Why One Educator Is Getting Elementary School Kids Into Car Repair - Jalopnik The children yearn for the shop lift.

It's because college is not The One True Way. It's certainly one valid way, but the trades have been neglected, and that's why it's so hard to find a good mechanic, electrician, or plumber these days.

Even in this picture from the moon, it’s still a pale blue dot.
