For keeping the rider safe during a collision, not much has changed. A few ways to avoid initiating collisions, like brake improvements, have been made, but motorcycles don’t have crumple zones to dissipate the energy during a crash and don’t have built-in airbags, and nothing to keep the rider oriented and fixed to…

Huntsville imported** a large number of scientists and engineers for the rocketry program. 20 years or so ago, bored in a Huntsville hotel room, I looked into the yellow pages and found a section labeled “Rocket Scientist.”

It counts as southern as it was a bastion of slavery. OTOH, it could not entirely commit to the Confederacy and most of the MO soldiers fought each other in the state, or so I’m assured.

Apparently, to comply with the WARN laws, they are being paid for the next 60 days. This is the notice that in 60 days they will be unemployed. 

Of course it’s Tom Cotton. MTG would call for the space lasers and Boebert would whip out the six-shooters. 

Is this radar monitored? If so, one can get a strong radar return from a slight vertical dislocation - that is, where there is a gap between concrete sections that the radar can be retro-reflected from or there is some other road defect. Sure, radar depends on some retro-reflection, just the way that head lights do,…

Was it bad enough to send the vehicle out of control or just annoying? 

That doesn’t seem to make Toyota the worst offender of all.

What does d73H mean?

Generally true, but this is about the charger that is core of the related article. 

Yeah, they are hanging there 24 hours a day, so there might be a bit of time when they weren’t locked to a car. 

Looks like the acceleration is intended, just not intended to last as long as with the pedal stuck down.

I had a pedal stick WOT because I was trying to get up to highway speeds and had not been in the habit of flooring it. Turned out the varnish in the throttle body had built up a tiny bit and the return spring wasn’t up to the job.

A dealer put a truck mat into a passenger vehicle to better protect the carpet for when the car was sold. What did Toyota have to do with that? 

If the line at Costco is such that the last person in line gets gas in 15 minutes and the line at the charger is such that the second person in line has a 1 hour wait that suggests there is a need for more chargers.

Around here thieves steal copper wire from buildings. I wonder how long the extension cords will last.

In computing one can make an estimate of the level and rate of computations that are required to reach a particular goal and the value/profit in reaching that goal. Then look at the pace at which the level and rate of computation is currently proceeding and the cost of performing at that level. Eventually those will…

She wasn’t too dumb to use the emergency release. She didn’t feel she was going to die and didn’t want to risk the damage the software update warning suggested would happen if she opened a door or a window.

Step one by software update - move windows down to allow manual opening to do no damage. This eliminates the need for a warning that the car can be damaged.

A comment so dark a cop just unholstered his weapon upon reading it.
