You sad, poor, lost soul.

As an electrical engineer, this seems to be a little overkill. You would get the same effect from a high current solenoid (not too dissimilar from a starter solenoid). And it has the added benefit that if something ever happens to the low voltage system (which could cause a crash if it knocks out some driving system),…

Even if you hate these scooters and want to go about damaging private property, this is definitely the wrong way to go about it. Take Mr. Mackey’s example of how not to hurt people while taking care of the scooters:

Why would Nats fans be bitter? We didn’t just guarantee a guy $330 million only to watch as his former team makes the playoffs as we finish behind the Mets.

Man, that’s like a hundred flights worth of sodas spilling out of that cart. And that’s for the small Airbus’s. If those were destined for that commuter jet, it’s more like five hundred flights.

You gotta hand it to this guy. No one would suspect a $724 charge on their credit card/bank statement to some random dude. And it’s not like you can trace it back to him anyway. What a genius plan!

I was thinking how this would work in our legal system, and the closest parallel is when you chose to mail the ticket back with your payment, basically pleading guilty prior to a trial. So, I guess they could have you sign some form saying you admit guilt and serve a 45 minute “sentence”.

It depends on your company and your policy. Obviously, insurance companies are for-profit entities, so each of them have developed their own convoluted (and secret) formula for both trying to attract customers while being able to collect enough in premiums to offset claims. The result is some will raise your rate just…

If anyone uses this on public roads in states where autonomous driving isn’t allowed yet, they would also be breaking the law.

Every state has a legal definition of a “truck”. Weight limits vary, but a pretty universal number is 7500 GVWR. So, yeah, your Chevy S-10, your Jeep Comanche, your Ford El Rancho, your Honda Ridgeline and your [Dodge] Ram 1500 don’t qualify in most states.

EV will disrupt the automotive labor market, just like robots, efficiency models, and the assembly line did before. Here’s the catch today (and this is no way meant to be anti-Union, just the facts as they are): If you are a high school student in or around Detroit looking for your next move, working on the assembly…

Drew Drew Drew, whether a Skins coach gets canned or not has NOTHING to do with their on-field performance, it’s about how much they suck up the Allen and Snyder, which considering how crap Gruden’s calls have been lately, the answer may be “a lot”.

Look at Mr. Fancy Pants here with his chaotic county-sponsored collection. The closest thing my county offers to help you dispose of waste is a storm drain.

Sooooo, a mood ring.

“Hur Dur, they only said to fire blanks, but what kinda pussy shit is that? Got my own paper-mache cannonball right here! Nothing can go wrong when you put 2 pounds of black power behind something and fire it in the general direction of people!”

Travel shame? Nope. I fly maybe once a year (work and vacation combined) and it’s usually all within the eastern time zone. Add to that I haven’t had a commute over 15 minutes since 2011 in my fuel-efficient sedan and I really don’t have a big carbon footprint transportation-wise.

My favorite part of the episode (besides the opening focusing on Tegridy Farms like some Green Acres rip-off) was when the guards find out Kyle is Jewish and you can see them realize the inherent immorality about holding a Jew in a camp after separating families, but then they just fail to make the connection to doing…

I think it’s almost certainly “doing their jobs”, it’s a direct connection to the rank and file Nazi Germany SS soldiers who were willing to commit atrocities for fear of being disgraced or killed for refusing.

Okay, even though it’s somewhat petty, I understand why someone would dig into the old tweets of an actor/pro athlete/singer/etc because often times they are role models for kids and they also make a boat load of money being public figures.

Either they allow multiple people access to the Twitter account or it’s some cream puff job they gave to the station owner’s 20 year old son who has absolutely no qualifications. Because if it was a singular person who has no blood ties to anyone, they’d be on their ass faster than you can say gumbo, just so management…
