Nice CSI revival reference there. :D

They’ve started hiring ESL students to write articles. They better not start calling them reporters.

Another way to look at it... 1,200 calories is.... what you get in the US military’s MRE diet - per MEAL.

Did you get the title to the vehicle yet? :D

You missed the part where people make the comparison because it is the exact same risky behavior, like the lenders learned exactly NOTHING from the mortgage industry collapse. Right down to the selling and swapping of loans between themselves and the fact they aren’t engaging in proper due diligence before approving a…

Wait.... They charge a parking fee for going to a public parking California?

They are also idiots for not considering facts at all. Most bike riders are below the driving age. So buying a car isn’t going to reduce the risk of an accident involving a motor vehicle for like 70%+ of the bike riding population.

“IMO, placing RIGID bollards, just to enforce a petty traffic rule is an overstep, and yes, someone could be seriously injured or die. ”

I just want to check to see if you know a hogshead is a measure of volume and not distance.

Some of the video distinctly shows the fact that the bases of the bollards angles outward, making them a fair bit wider than claimed (and the clearance smaller than claims). With a lot of European vehicles being front wheel drive, the base of the bollard is a ramp to launch the front end of the car from, as it…

Want to know what I see in that Google Streetview image that is amusing? That idiot concoction is meant to keep large vehicles out of town. What do you see just a little way up the road, heading away from the barrier?

A baker’s gross is zero. Why? Because if the baker is gross, he’s got no customers buying anything he makes. :D

How exactly do lasers of any sort induce “shitification”? Also, the Elon Musk satellite theory has merit. All signs point at Starlink providing shitty service.

You can pick up a 7 kw electric motor pretty cheap on Amazon, like $300-$500. And that will be like 4 times the current output.

Don’t assume your father was cheap. In my neck of the woods, towing is AAA freebie or almost $17 per mile. I got a tow last year, totaling 4 miles. Cost me $70.

Take a good look at the damaged section you removed. Check to see if it is copper wire or aluminum. I’ve always found it a lot more likely to have fire risks with the aluminum garbage. A rule of thumb: a copper penny can replace a fuse in a short term pinch, but electrocuting a can of beer or soda just makes a damned…

IF the weapon was supplied by a local small arms dealer on a rental basis AND that particular dealer also has a gun range attached to their retail outlet, this may have been the result of force of habit - most shops with a range will rent out guns in inventory for use on the range. And such ranges usually include a…

The industry doesn’t buy guns, it rents them. I can see some local guy accidentally supplying a loaded weapon for rental, especially if his shop also has a gun range attached, where guns can be readily rented (and most dealers include a magazine or two of ammunition to be used in the range). Sadly it is not an…

All actors should take some sort of firearms competency course, so their can be their own last line of defense against this sort of thing by checking the weapon one last time for themselves before filming begins.

You mean something like 3D printing the bullets of TPU with minimal structural infill, so if an accident like this does happen, it isn’t any worse than being slapped in the face with one of those floppy silicone baking pans? Hell, they could do the same thing with the primer cups, so they empty out the propellant, and…
