AFAIK everyone prefers a big pipeline with natural gas over having to move literally tons of coal around a power plant and with railcars. That’s true in Texas, famously. Add in the controls required to scrub coal stacks of sulfur and other unwanted pollutants and it would be insane for a power generation company, at…

Make Studebaker great again - not the one that built Avatis, the one that built nearly 500,000 horse drawn wagons over a 7 year stretch and initially built electric cars from 1902 to 1911.

ABS may need to communicate with the ECM/ECU/Whatever is managing the engine. Not sure why and not sure it’s universal, but I had a non-detectable misfire on one ignition coil and the ABS warning light came on to celebrate along with vehicle stability and some other not-an-engine module.

Post that comment to the wire snipper who I was responding to.

The canisters didn’t explode. It was the leaking heavier-than-air gas that had pooled near the floor and up to the foot well where he was sitting that exploded.

A conviction should change how Hollywood deals with fully functional firearms as props. I watched the video of the Stargate guy over the use of the P90 weapon and he had every actor that would handle one go through a gun safety course. Why is that not required for every movie using fully functional firearms?

You found a better one. 

The canisters aren’t what exploded. There was a leak that allowed the propane gas to first pool in the low areas and then build a deeper layer; if it was all propane he would have suffocated, so there must have been some mixing to make the mixture explosive.

Congrats? Car is destroyed. They would have her ID from the dealer for the test drive. Damaging the vehicles of otherwise uninvolved people? 

It doesn’t appear they are bricking it. They just no longer host the service this thing needs in order to operate. More like 3G phones didn’t get bricked in the US - there just aren’t any cell towers that will communicate with it anymore. I’m sure the main cost was having people to keep that service running and…

The explosion pressure can be as low as 10 - 20 psi. 15 psi over-pressure is the equivalent of a dive 33 feet deep in water.

Most clothing is made from dead plant material, hair shaved from animals, or converted petrochemicals. It’s been a while since metal has made up a notable amount of the outfit; the long bow and gun powder ended that long-time fashion trend.

Those states won’t have this law.

We have driver ed. There is not much to tell people that the number on the sign is the limit. What the US does not have is firm enforcement, which allows 99% of drivers to ignore all the limits, many of the road markings, many traffic signals, most turn signals, and so on. The drivers know they are there, they have no…

If the GPS receiver fails to function the car fails the next inspection.

Gallons per x miles more easily converts to dollars (currency) per x miles (distance.) So a car that uses 5 gallons per 100 miles at $4 per gallon, is easily multiplied to get $20 per 100 miles, which is the direct economic value people pay attention to.

If you are cool the bees will be cool. I expect most of the stings were from bees landing on people and then people swatting or confusing them with a perspiration drip them rather than some crazed attack.

I think the problem is that the demand for pollination exceeds the food supply available for the rest of the year. There’s a massive need for a short period of time for pollination to take place, but there isn’t a massive amount of native plants to support the required population for the remainder of the season.

Male Cicada killers don’t have a stinger, but they bluff. The females drill holes in the ground and, being solitary insects, won’t fight because fighting means no more baby Cicada killers.
