Not really. The other countries whose cooperation on sanctions is necessary to make them work will back out if we don’t sign this deal. So if the Republicans balk, Iran will continue to get closer to a bomb and further away from us, but also have more money to boot.

You’re thinking of Ferrari. Lambo is in VAG.

It should be weren’t, actually. If you’re going to be a grammar Nazi, at least be a thorough one.

The wreck that brought this on didn’t involve a curb, just lift off over a crest. This raised the car’s center of mass above the barrier, so it flipped over the barrier and fence. Without significant lift, you can’t get the entire car or just its CoM over the barrier. As long as the CoM is below the car’s center of…

The FR-S is owned by a Pearl Harbor survivor from Nebraska?

No. Lift is roughly proportional to the square of speed, so the same car will have twice the lift going “300” vs. “200” mph. That probably should be kph, but it doesn’t matter. It may have enough lift to take off if it goes above some AoA at 300 (unstable, unpredictable) but not enough lift to do so at any AoA at 200.

Umm, they’re renders? It hasn’t been built. How could they be ‘shops?

Radio presets, presumably.

Looks like a ‘42-’43 Buick Roadmaster. Eighteen feet long, but cars like the Continental later got to over 19’ long.

Bad photography. Should have used a longer lens. Check out the second to last picture (screencap from video) for comparison.

Looks like Maple burl, SG 0.55-0.72.

Depends who you ask. Syrian rebels and now the US say no:

A lot of the answers are more quick than fast. This is mostly fast.

Or, for a Ferrari, a “calendar”.

“I’ve never understood why engineers think it’s a good idea...”

Because it’s cheap, quiet, more efficient, and easier to replace. Ford is actually going back to a belt, but bathed in oil, on the new 1L - it should provide the best of both worlds.

Well, the choker was the Nascar fan; the Indy fan was the chokee.

The first popular electronic album - 250-y.o. music adapted for awful-sounding synth piano. Walter/Wendy Carlos made a lot of popular music/soundtracks, though. You’ve probably heard some and liked it, whether you realize it or not.

For a Southern Catholic author whose voice is cynical-to-hateful and who seemed to use missing limbs to symbolize missing morality, etc., you find this surprising? I criticized her in 11th grade for this stuff, without knowing about her correspondence, but it doesn’t surprise me in the least.

The iso-octane they’re making is 100 RON and MON by definition, so also 100 AKI. There is not a consistent difference between RON and AKI, except with current pump gas where 80+% of it is the same regardless.
