OK, yeah, I took two minutes and googled up the links to these materials that honestly probably should have been in the article in the first place. ampliTex and powerRibs do not in themselves replace carbon fiber as we commonly think of it. What most people think of when they say “carbon fiber” is technically “carbon…

If still available watch DT and Torch spend 24 hours in a van in Canada.  It isn't 24 hours long and it's funny. But yes video for video is just a reason to play a commercial. 

Sounds like Blindsight by Peter Watts. It was a strange book. The fake conversation thing is called a Chinese Room.

Trees are only suitable for ring jobs.

It has to go in front of a judge and promise to never do that dangerous thing again, then it has to serve 1000 hours of community service and six month’s probation?

The dam was deemed unsuitable in an inspection back in 2004. It is privately owned, so only the owner can choose to repair it.(!!!) Residents sued a long time ago, but there is only so much you can do to force people with power to do the correct thing. In this case, people are getting screwed because this idiot didn’t…

I’m not a lawyer or a civil engineer, but if I had to guess, I would say it means they have to cease operations (aka, open the gates, and cease power generation if hydroelectric) and/or they can no longer get insurance for exactly the kind of failure that happened here. They would either have to repair their defects…

Nationalize Tesla, just to see if the Elon stans actually can achieve spontaneous cranial explosions.

Wow, I’ve seen some REALLY stupid comments today but you might win the award for the dumbest. Congratulations.

“Again”?
When has Russia ever looked bad.  You must not think rightly...

Maybe I’m a piece of shit, but I think the HOA is being reasonable here. They have a policy regarding RVs in their community. The nurse and her husband chose to violate that policy without reaching out to the HOA in advance. HOA enforced their policy. Nurse and husband reached out to the HOA, which told them that they…

Nah, you just profit off of it. And, you know 95% of the reviews on the site are fossil fuel vehicles.

Don’t you run a show that profits off of people sharing their fossil fuel cars?

THE ANIMAL

isn’t this all about whataboutism?

Any of those old Ford key cylinders did that eventually, and the first generation Super Duty trucks, I drove a work truck from Listowel to North Bay and got to Huntsville before I realized the keys fell out of the ignition and probably fell out the door when I stopped for gas in Barrie, that truck sat unlocked in…

No way! My best friend’s stepdad had one of these and we did the same thing to it (slamming it in park while driving). I thought we were the only ones.

‘87 Chevrolet S10 will let you do the same thing. I used to enjoy freaking out my passengers with that trick. It worked well when doing a cold start in winter though, could take out the keys and lock the doors with it running.

ditto the 1986 buick electra sedan on both counts. ask me how i know.
