+1 So much more eloquent than Trudeau's (senior) "sleeping next to an elephant"

I miss African laughter. Thank you for this.

I have this image in my head of everybody sitting on the floor, and somebody points to the gun and says "yaknow, somebody really ought to unload that thing". And everyone giggles. And stays sitting on the floor.

Here's a little thought experiment:

The idea is to have stacks of shipping container sized batteries installed at every wind farm or solar installation to store excess electricity for use during times of peak demand.

No. That's New Hampshire.

"My Own Private Idaho" is not about Idaho. Or set in it.

I'm pretty sure U-howls of this size have surge brakes, but those can't be activated independently.

When this scenario starts, you really are at the mercy of the trailer's inertia. The only solution seems to be to hold on and reduce the energy you put into the equation. Speeding up the 0ut-of-control mass results in what we have just seen.

The driver of the pick up seems to have thought so. Didn't work.

If all you do is drop your speed, you'll be fine for a while but sooner or later, the oscillation will re-establish itself. If your trailer is fishtailing like this, redistribute the load with more weight forward, THEN you'll be fine.

And when your batteries are full, erect a sail in front of them, and use them as fans to blow yourself, er, I mean, PROPEL yourself forward.

My insurance company certainly thinks so, but EVERY ONE of the drivers that hit me (all of whom had been tailgating) thought I was at fault. For slowing down wrong, or something.

Add an auxiliary rear camera, and I'm in. I've been rear ended three times.

I just spent a few minutes looking at their maps of some places I used to live where accurate maps are hard to find: Malawi, Haiti, and Mozambique. Especially in Haiti, with its complex topography and innumerable footpaths, these maps are far more accurate than those of Google Maps or of the Garmin GPS I used.

He never wanted a driver because a driver is also a witness.
