It is not lost on me why they likely felt empowered to do something like this.

“On the flipside, you’ve taken a person in a mental health crisis and forced them to lie on their stomach with duct-taped limbs on an airplane. What’s that going to do to them?”

The fact that it is required to engineer and implement a mechanical “back up” suggests to me that it is absolutely not cheaper or more cost effective to go with electronic door pulls.

There should be one handle per door, half pull - electronic, full pull mechanical.

Can you imagine the morons who sat there designing this thing and literally thought “how can we better hide this emergency release latch so it can’t be seen at all?”

petabyte(bit)/second hasn’t anything to do with the transmission propagation rate, it has to do with the transmission bandwidth. Transmission delay has to do with the transmission propagation rate; as you noted, latency.

Can’t wait for the non-pilots to have big opinions on this one!

Gilbern has a fire-spitting Welsh dragon on their cars. Can’t beat that.

The 2003-2010 logo doubling as an upside down duck only adds to the charm.

Low hanging fruit: Alfa Romeo.

Living in a rural area, and it being late October, I would hardly call a deer in the road an edge case. I’ve probably seen as many of them driving this week as I have red lights.

With these, it isn’t so much mechanical breakdown, but rather the probability of wrapping them around a tree. 

This seems relevant right now:

First Gen Kia Soul.

Early Fiat Panda 4x4

Scion iQ

The 911.

Nissan’s dealers are killing the company. I had a 2004 Xterra which was a great, bare-bones vehicle. Owned some other cars in between, and in 2018 put Nissan on the list of cars to look at with my wife. The dealers we visited were so smarmy that my wife was categorically turned off by them. (I didn’t love the vehicle o…

My opinion is that modern cars are really, REALLY good....for people who don’t care about driving and consider a car an appliance. Which, to be fair, is the vast majority of the car buying public.

The former “Top Gear” and “Grand Tour” host bemoaned the fact that modern cars are getting too heavy for his liking.
