Cherry red 280z.

That’s a nice looking Civic!

I look forward to your articles on how to put air in a tire, boil water, and turn off a microwave just before it beeps.

Even better... If the top is up you can’t easily get in because the windows have to electronically roll down to disengage from the roof. Thought I was going to destroy the window. Then found out the frunk wouldn’t open so went out and bought one of those charges to trickle some power in through the cigarette lighter…

An Apple II? What kind of rich ass school did you go to? We had Trash 80's with a tape deck... And we liked it!

This is, by far, one of my most favorite responses to this question. Thoughtful and defensible in their position and irreverent to boot!

No worries. My guess is that your empty can somehow became empty after being packaged due to a pinhole leak or bad lid seal. Partly because of what I wrote before but also because I have a hard time seeing an empty can (no weight) surviving being ejected at speed from the filler and still staying upright. Much less…

A brushed satin finish would act to light up the whole back of the trailer while still allowing localized glare from individual following headlights.

The ability for an empty can to exit a packaging facility is... amazing. The number of steps and cross-checks to ensure that your 12 oz can of beverage has exactly 12 oz, and no more or less, would boggle your mind. Can’t speak for every facility but where I worked the can comes in upside down, blasted with steam,…

If you ever get out to Denver, check out Pete’s Kitchen on Colfax. A 24 hour Greek diner operating for over 50 years by Pete Contos. Coffee shows up just after you think about ordering it, gyros meat is slowly cooking in the background, and the cooks have total mastery over the flattop. It’s a wonderous place.

Not a car, but a 1976 Harley FLH with heel/toe shifter. Was moving to Indiana and driving the bike to my parents to load up in a trailer with my wife following. Broke a shifter linkage. Stuck there with my wife at the side of the road I noticed her hoodie, whipped out my Spyderco knife and took her hoodie tie cord.…

I just can’t agree with this assessment. As a designer one of my rules has been if you can’t hide it, celebrate it. Which is certainly what they have tried to do here. The problem is that it doesn’t celebrate the line and it looks like a mistake. Which leads me to another of my design rules - don’t make it look like a…

Also one I live by. I just don’t think this one did a very good job of either of those.

This feels like an expensive solution to a problem which really only applies because of the limitations of camera phones.

All good points. Any punching tool would eventually wear out and you wouldn’t actually catch the issue until much later. The big one there leaving behind burrs or an extruded hole which will darken those perforations (have some experience with this).

Agreed. This is a supposed solution for phone cameras.

But they aren’t the same size light source, they aren’t located axially down the center of the reflector with a specific arc length, and they don’t emit light in the same directions.

Nope. The key is the location of the arc source (incandescent or HID) and its length. LEDs will sit on a board, create a larger light source that needs to be controlled, and only emit light above that plane. From that standpoint, you require very different reflectors and refractors to achieve similar results.

That’s not how light or reflectivity works, at all, on so many different levels. A “flatter range”? What does that even mean? A white LED can be created using separate RGB (and sometimes others) diodes and mixed or, more typically by using a royal blue diode covered by a phosphor or similar covering to convert to…

I have a dozen pizzas I make without meat - and only a few with meat. The veggie options are far more versatile, interesting, and far ranging than those with meat. Nothing against meat pizzas (I created a BBQ meat lovers for my MIL when she visited from Australia), but for the most part they are pretty one note.
