Then the second person has to go up “normal” stairs... not really a huge deal unless you have some really hateful, jealous asshole living on the same floor as you who always gets home 10 seconds after you do.

Sadly, not even the police could free the contractor from the ATM’s clutches. They had to wait until the man’s boss arrived at the scene and managed to let him out at last.

You don’t even need these studies to know how smart Ravens are. Remember this video of a Raven that basically sat down on a fence near some humans and called for help until they aided him?

I doubt you’d even notice this if it was an unsuspecting video on Facebook, rather than a video in an article about synthesized speech videos...

To be fair, it’s probably a much more interesting view from the ground. Girls dancing, guys singing, and a MASSIVE front end loader twerking on two wheels directly behind them.

Sounds like a wiring fault. That button is supposed to turn on your parking lights, not the reverse indicators, lol. At least it was still useful (more useful than the standard function, to be honest.)

Tail lights, rather than reverse lights, would make it just as easy to find in a dark lot for you, and less confusing for everyone else :)

When you lock/unlock your stupid, fucking GM vehicle at night, it illuminates the headlights, mirror puddle lights, and reverse indicators to illuminate the area around your car.

However, whereas headlights and puddle lights are not used to signal movement, reverse indicators are used to indicate an intent to reverse…

Whatever law it is that allows GM to use reverse indicators as approach/departure lighting. That one is the stupidest.

Meh. That’s an annoying law, but far from the stupidest law.

That’s very true, but those hypercars often have a low drag setting specifically for top speed runs. It’s a valid point, though, that electric vehicles are optimized for efficiency, and that will help with higher speeds. Still, though, 235 is impressive considering drag increases with the square of velocity.

Before everyone comes barreling in here to talk about how pointless “top speed” is for cars in general, and how the battery would last all of 7 seconds at that speed...

...everyone needs to take a step back and realize that this is a pretty damned amazing achievement in general. There are VERY FEW super/hypercars that…

...if you’re sitting more than 6 feet from a TV than there is no discernible difference between a resolution of 4K and 1080p.

I used to drive hybrid-electric transit buses, and I will say it was GREAT for being able to pull into tight spots in traffic from bus stops (or just when turning into traffic.) Those things would jump up to 20 MPH freakishly quickly. It was a lot of fun to mess with those assholes who would take their sweet time…

Rented a Chrysler Pacifica the other day, and was genuinely impressed with how hard it pulled at ALL speeds. It also was happy to slip the wheels all the way through first gear.

I set the cruise control to my usual 5-8 MPH over, and then make a game of trying (within reason / without driving like an asshole) not to have to touch any of the pedals, but keeping right whenever possible. It gives you something to do because you’re constantly reading the traffic ahead of you to figure out which…

No, that’s called a knee-jerk reaction to a problem that occurs so rarely, that the solution isn’t worth the massive cost/headache/misery that would be required to eliminate it.

It would be like re-routing your gutters because some guy was once killed when his gutter fell down on him as he walked out the front door.…

I feel like it had to be more than just a failure of the right engine (whether it’s additional mechanical failures, or pilot failures) because twin-engined aircraft are supposed to be able to fly, or even continue to climb with only one engine...

I tried to add the “it wouldn’t fit” comment, but Kinja sucks donkey-balls and wouldn’t let me edit it, so I replied to one of the other comments in this tread with a similar comment :P

I’m pretty sure it would have Fit regardless.
