Word of the Day

Gladhand (v./n., GLAD-hand)

To welcome someone warmly but insincerely. Used especially in reference to politicians, but can be applied to anyone who's mastered the art of being "among the people" without *really* caring about them (looking at you, Taylor Swift).

Lego builds a Bugatti Chiron car that can drive

LEGO has partnered with high-end automaker Bugatti to make a 1:1 scale model of their Chiron that can actually drive. Over 90% of the car is LEGO, including the engines, with a few structural components still made of regular materials. Becuase the engines are Technic (2,304 Technic engines), the car only has 5.3 horsepower and 12mph top speed. STILL: this is really cool, especially when you see the thing actually move:

Jalopnik has more details about how the car was made, which are worth checking out. These two did an incredible job, and now we all want one. Sadly, it's not for sale.
