Immigrants aren’t people to them. 

Some groups also require arm restraints for convertibles, they might be worth looking into while you’re doing everything else. I went with a BRZ instead of a Miata or S2K just so I didn’t have to deal with all the extra convertible safety rules.

The broomstick test is typically done with a helmet on, don’t forget to budget the extra 2 inches for a helmet.

The ND is far tighter than the RX8 and its chassis sharing sibling the NC. It gets even worse when you try to wear a helmet in it, and the passenger seat is both higher and more impinged than the driver seat. In my experience, the ND has the least room inside out of all the generations (the seats are also close enough…

Links: this is from the US Energy Information Agency and is my source for the most recent US Nuclear reactor construction

The construction CO2 is less than 5% of the lifetime emissions, so if you were to double the construction CO2 (due to scaling the weight/size of the vehicle would have to go up substantially more than 2x to double CO2 usage), you’re still looking at less than 10% of the lifetime CO2 emissions. Yes, smaller vehicles…

According to the Energy.gov website, cradle to grave carbon emission for BEV’s are half as much as the same ICE vehicle using the average US grid for charging. The carbon savings go up to about 90% with a renewable focused electricity sources.

There are 2 big problems with nuclear power: 1) It is no longer cost competitive with either wind or solar (1.5-2x the cost per unit of energy) and 2) Nuclear power plants take over a decade to build (there are 2 new reactors under construction in Georgia at an already established plant, construction began in 2013 and…

I just bought a 2022 BRZ and having driven both it and the Supra at the track, I can say the BRZ is the better driver. The Supra is more cramped inside, harder to get into (the roofline dips down into the door for no reason), feels heavy, and lacks the driving feel of a sportscar. The Supra is a GT cruiser that…

The extreme indifference part means you don’t have to have premeditation. The charge is for if there is premeditation or extreme indifference. A better defense lawyer, more sympathetic jury, or prosecutor with less ambition could have saved him from the mandatory minimums attached to the charges. This is the type of…

The projectile will also need a kick-stage to get into an actual orbit, otherwise the best you can do is a parabola that intersects the ground. Eventually they’ll aim this thing at an angle too since you have to go fast sideways to get into orbit (just over 17000mph, which is more than 3 times faster than the scaled…

The ice expands outwards in the open direction, unless you are worried that the ice is deep enough to surround and encase the tire. Ice is pretty weak in tension though, so you’d probably be able to drive off just fine unless the ice is pretty thick.

Yes, the tires heat up from squishing and rebounding as they roll. Air is an excellent insulator so it helps keep the heat near the surface of the tire where it is most easily dissipated back to the surroundings. Even as the air starts to heat up it expands and cools (usually the pressure just goes up though).

Not everything that is legal is a good idea. I personally wouldn’t ride a bike or even walk along one of these types of roads because I know that doing so would be unsafe and unwise, even though it wouldn’t be illegal. The driver wasn’t acting with malice, and wasn’t (apparently) driving any less safe than the typical…

It took a couple of weeks to charge the coal roller, it might take time to charge this guy. Depending on the details, there might only be misdemeanor charges which don’t require an arrest.

These are highways in all but name. These are 2 lane rural highways with speed limits from 60-70mph. I drive on these types of roads in Texas regularly, they connect rural towns to each other and have vast empty stretches that you do not expect to see cyclists, pedestrians, or really much of anything along the road.

The Netherlands also has a high investment in infrastructure for cyclists. This incident occurred on a road with a 60mph (100kph) speed limit, no hard shoulder, and curves to obstruct sight lines. While the driver is at fault, this is (by design) not a safe place to ride a bike, aside from the low traffic. If FM roads…

They border each other, so we could conglomerate them into “The Dakotas” or change them back to the “Dakota Territories” as they were known collectively before 1861.

That preparation sure helped defend mainland Europe, oh right. Unless Chamberlain was out digging the English Channel his efforts resulted in nothing more than abandoning all of the British heavy equipment during the evacuation of Dunkirk. 

I’d I agree but the Tesla models are upgraded nearly continuously and newer year versions are so different than older versions that most manufacturers would have started calling them a new model long ago.
