I used to have to get tested annually to be sure one of our lasers didn’t burn a hole in my retina. Good times there.

I work with lasers for aerial surveying and they are nothing to mess around with. Even the little laser pointers that you use at work and make cats run around chasing the dot are pretty powerful. They can light up the reflective surface of a stop sign a couple clocks away. Fortunately, they can see those lasers and…

I hit a person like this about 20 years ago. Its a horrible thing for the driver as well as the pedestrian.

I’m a bit jealous that, through the magic of kinja, your Metris suggestion is getting all the attention and my suggestion of a Metris has fallen to the bottom of the pile. You still get a star because it’s not about attention. It’s about the right answer. Metris is the right answer.

And if they can wait a year, there’s a brand new one coming which will almost certainly be updated to the “quirky” styling of the new Prius, which sort of seems for some reason like it may be a positive in this buyer’s eyes...

I talked my coworker into getting one of these sorta once he found out he was gonna have a 3rd kid. HE LOVES THIS THING. He can from a tuned Passat (2 cars ago) and a 2017 Accord Sport (most recent car). Honestly its super comfortable to ride in, TONS of space, and the best part is? The headrest is the most…

That’s only the Gen 4 Liftback, not the v. And, that’s a European tow rating - all Prii are rated for 0 pounds here in the US. (European tow ratings are based on 4-7% tongue weight (although the European market tow bar for the Gen 4 is rated for, from memory, 70 or 75 kg tongue weight), rather than the 10-15% that’s…

What about it? The Prius V can tow 2000 pounds. So a U-Haul 4x8 would be doable.

“1,598 pounds

Look at this big ass brown wagon, look at it because it checks all the right boxes for you, and this is what YOU will buy.

I wonder if you’d get weird gyroscopic effects due to the spinning rotor, instead of just the spinning wheels.

The Millett from 1892 was the first rotary engined motorcycle.

As a matter of fact, the same company (Sachs) made a rotary chainsaw:

Not just rotary, air cooled rotary.

Was anyone else waiting for the part where they do some CSI shit to determine whether it was ever actually used? “Yes, analysis detected trace amounts of whoseywhatsit, which is likely a last remnant of long since decomposed blah blah blah.

Do yourself a favor and get a full face shield. They’re only about $15 and will keep all sorts of nasties out of your face. If you’re doing something really gross you can wear the face shield AND eye-protection.

Don’t assume you can finish your job in the time it took to watch the YouTube video about it.

After owning two Honda Ruckuses.... fuck carbs. If I ever get back on two wheels, it will be on something with fuel injection.

i told myself that after maintaining my FZR (WITH FOUR CARBS) for the last five years.

Let me sum this up for everyone. Fuck carbs.
