Anyone want to clue Jody in that there already exists a legal document that defines what’s required to become a state?

You do realize these things are governed to around 3600rpm, right? And that they’re running on magnetos that don’t provide any ignition advance?

I was using a soft example for ease of math.

You are aware that kinetic energy increases as the square of the increase in velocity? If the duration of the event is the same, and my math holds up because it’s f*cking early, a 25mph impact has 2.78 times the energy to dissipate versus a 15mph impact. If you want a neat…

X-frame. Add a little more energy to that offset collision and you can get the front bumper to touch the rear axle, but only on that side...

Seems to me the requirement for continuity points more toward these things actually being intended more for keeping glancing blows to the cabin from allowing penetration and peeling it open.

“You know, I work out so my legs/back/core are strong enough to keep me from folding over into the dash with just the lap belt”

Also of note, any system that has a drum shared with a disc needs the drum to be properly adjusted or there’s a delay before pressure builds for the disc brake. ALL the slack has to come out of the brake hardware before pressure builds, and if the shoes are backed off then it could be running short of capacity before…

I don’t know if the MG setup is similar to other vehicles, but there’s usually an adjustable rod that goes from the brake pedal assembly to the master cylinder. That being off would have only any return spring providing resistance until the rod actually contacts the piston in the master cylinder, which should be…

Have you ever tried to stop a car with the emergency brake?
It can get exciting fast, in all the wrong ways....

Under the jail, with all of them.

Still ridiculously low for the responsibility.

$12 an hour for a union-held seat to operate a power plant.

rm -rf ./blah*.blah , except maybe the operator used the keypad and accidentally hits enter, murdering everything in the current directory. Same with rm -rf and quotes, or breaking the line for multiple entries, or using the right shift for caps....

Sand, full throttle, lots of wheelspin, 82F in sun, and it still took 15 minutes to trip a predictive overheat algorithm.

Sounds like an edge case... something’s performing to those internal goals but *not* just quite right, something like the traction control system stepping on the torque splitting system by a…

“I’m too old, I don’t get it”

Alright, think of Johnny Carson, or David Letterman, Conan O’Brien, Jay Leno, etc. on their late show doing monologues.

Now imagine the studio audience can send them notes (with cash paperclipped to it, in some cases) instantly, at any time during the show.

There are people who ride motorcycles, and there are people who ride borrowed time. You don’t seem like the latter, who are the people lane splitting at 90mph or riding older liter sports bikes with bald tires and flip-flops.

See, everyone, this is the kind of take nobody should give a shit about. It should have been left in the grey.

When you’re badging something you may want to break symmetry because your eyes are immediately drawn to it.

I gather you mean she rather suddenly stopped driving in the ‘10s...

It’s too wide. Postal trucks stop constantly, and though they pull over well to the side now... kind of moot with this thing, you’re going to get stuck following it FAR further than before unless you’re willing to risk passing it with the reduced sightline.
