I liked the article. As a male and engineer, it left me thirsty for details that she glossed over, but it was a great fish-out-of-water story. The real shame

I liked the article. As a male and engineer, it left me thirsty for details that she glossed over, but it was a great fish-out-of-water story.
The real shame is that an article can be vanished like that. Not so long ago, once it was printed it was printed and if you had the magazine in your possession nobody could retract its contents, as far as you're concerned.
- gear54rus 3y agowell thank cthulhu for internet archive its power is not limitless though (yet) so you can't save every article
- sunshowers 3y agoWell, it can't, right? Even if the Internet Archive takes it down after the publisher asks, there are other archive sites that thumb their noses at such requests.
- kmeisthax 3y agoIt depends. If you're Road and Track you can at least make it very difficult for anyone to find the damned thing and very legally perilous for people to say what sketchy archive site has a true and correct copy of the article.
- xmonkee 3y ago> As a male huh?
- MarkusWandel 3y agoOK, stereotypical male, then. Who hungers for a more detailed description of the stripped-down (no fairings) race car, and is more mildly interested in descriptions of showing up at a gala dinner in a thrift store outfit (though that was still entertaining).
