How is that not a Landspeeder? Wonder if Lucas had one as a kid...

I owned one for a year. It was a LOT of fun to drive, completely tossable, turned on a dime (with tons of body roll), and enough pickup to get to...well, 30. Past that, you had to be realistic.

So the engine itself would not fit inside the Mini’s entire body? That’s crazy!

Sure. The Fiat 500 was terribly fun to drive. (And not the Abarth, either!)

Would it physically fit in the shell? with room for the driver, too?

That’s the hood release. (At least, the tiny button popped open the hood on the 70s-era toy...)

As hot iron cools in oxygen, it forms ‘scale’ (also called firescale, oxidized iron) as its outer layer. Scale is brittle even at high heat, so when the metal deforms, the scale flakes away.

Hoping for better Watch support soon. Yes, I can see the notifications mirrored from the phone...but nothing else.

I know, heresy. Hear me out.

As my physics teacher used to say, “Don’t flatter yourself—you’re not that good a conductor.”

If you’re planning to stay in a hotel, hang the clothing in the bathroom while you take a shower. Often the humidity from the shower will do the same trick, and it’s one less thing to pack.

How does that work? Does the grass urge you along or something? Where does the extra momentum come from?

Builders rent the machine, just like they rent cranes and other heavy equipment—by the hour.

“Jacking on dirt” might also be a contributing factor there...

Forgetting a step.
