How quickly do these slides inflate? If someone was standing there, would they be able to move out of the way?

Bike lanes aren't maintained nearly as well as the road surface. There are some parts of commute currently where the bike lane is a mess of potholes, cracks, and patches. It's unsafe to ride in, while the right lane is perfectly smooth and well-maintained. Further, sometimes the asphalt ends in the middle of the…

Asphalt is supposed to be easier on your knees than concrete. I don't know how true that is, but I always felt better after running on sand/dirt than asphalt/concrete. There may be long-term effects I can't notice yet.

They should obviously be using Twitter. If you can't convey something in 140 characters or less, it's obviously not important.

Cruise control is great for long trips. Better fuel economy, insurance against speeding, and you can focus on what cars/trucks are doing on the road instead of micromanaging your speed.

Counter-argument: Even in a small town with little else, you never know when the next Killdozer will happen. And when it does, it'll be all "oh, why weren't the police equipped to handle this?"

It'll also run on anything that fits the following criteria:

I really liked how he called other news outlets out for treater her differently because she's a woman CEO. That part of the segment was well done.

Vapors will explode. Fires require a fuel source, oxygen, and heat. Explosions are the same. Vapors let you mix a lot more oxygen into the system than just what can react with the surface of a liquid, and therefore have a lot more potential for boom.

I think I took what you said completely out of context due to Kinja. Sorry about that.

I hear you.

One engineer's opinion does not a (legal) problem make.

Nope, not helpful. True, maybe— but not helpful.

Best car ever! Recaptures magic smoke after it escapes!

Some time alone with a calculator, and... actually let's not talk about what we do with our personal time. Let's just say it was no problem.

I have no idea about that, but it certainly sounds plausible— although a CVCC system, once designed for mass production, may be cheaper to produce while the catalytic converter is always going to cost you for the expensive raw materials. (Arguably, you pass that cost along to the consumer, but if you don't have to…

A turn signal is used with far less frequency than a brake light, putting the MTBF much higher. If you combine the two, when the bulb fails, you also lose your ability to signal turns.

I didn't let a guy in once because his brake light was out and I didn't know he was trying to merge...

That's some impressive change in numbers. Some quick math to put things into percentages:
