I cannot backtrack the entire sequence but it certainly looks like that car spent a while completely airborne. There’s what looks like a splash of dirt that the car must have scooped up after hitting the curb that was slammed loose, marking the original touch-down location before the car spun off to its final stopping…

You can never be the person you were on a path to be. You may be someone else who is OK, but will never be the same. Think Olympic level runner losing their legs at the knees and becoming a Paralympic runner. Once on a path for a gold medal and product endorsement contracts and then just the satisfaction of winning…

I would have been tempted, upon seeing the bottles, to put him and the vehicle right back the way I found them.

Lawyers don’t typically want to blame anyone. They have a paying client and the lawyer’s job is to get the best legal outcome for that client.

Perhaps they need the weight equivalent of the warning beam for over-height vehicles - a lane wide plate, one axle long, with a 3000 pound preload over spikes. Exceed the weight and the plate is pushed down and the tires get impaled on the spikes. Just a couple of inches of travel and, if the spikes are appropriately…

NASA outsources all the missions. The only difference is NASA mission control, but the majority of items NASA manages are built by private contractors, right down to the space suits.

On satellite launches losing boosters and satellites is just a cost.

Sure. That’s what they say. Was it a pinky swear? 

There are two ways this can go.

Something to ease your pain.

I have seen videos of the detailed work that bears do. Likely the seat was no longer one piece; probably the tracks parts of the seat were still bolted in place, just no longer attached to the seat frame. 

It’s either - peel the laminated glass or shatter the tempered glass with a spring loaded center punch. Not really much to do to stop this until the glass is over 1/2 inch thick with a polycarbonate center.

How do you aim them to be at the factory road height instead of shining directly through the rear windows of every car and SUV ever made? Aiming doesn’t fix that the dash of the car or SUV can end up brighter than a sun lit day blowing out night vision adaptation and causing night-blindness. Oh, I should look away…

It’s more obvious to consider that the Cybertruck is an aluminum casting and the F-150 is cold-work hardened steel. Had the F-150 used cast-iron in that thin section to maintain weight it would have also done poorly. A unibody in cold-worked steel will crumple, maybe tear, but it won’t shatter like castings do.

The energy is absorbed in the chemical reactions which are very efficient. I had some C-size NiCads that would absorb a couple of Watts for nearly an hour and remained cool to the touch. 

The dealers and makers have found the pain point for consumers. Any drop in the interest rates will see an increase in prices, just the same as has been in play in the housing market. They look at what the monthly payment that will be tolerated is and will maintain that payment as their goal. 

The strange part is that the reason for banning smoking from planes isn’t the smoke or, in vaping, the vapor cloud. It is because some people were tossing the still burning cigarettes into the paper waste disposal slot and starting fires. Vape pens are potentially dangerous in use or not, mainly from those who use…

Etan Patz ring a bell? It’s because of what activists did that there is this sort of panic. 

Italy prosecuted scientists for failing to predict an earthquake and continue to prosecute a woman Italy falsely accused of murder and are now prosecuting for some supposed slander she made when, as a person with limited Italian and badgered by police for hours on end, that she retracted only hours later. The police…

“what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.”
