The twin-supercharged V12 Ferrari exploded? How unusual.

Who told you to be 6’5” NOT ME

Dude, that isn’t even a joke. Here’s a story. So the place I worked for was a international shipping company and we shipped ANYTHING. We had a 5 million dollar turbine engine in a giant crate that was being sent down to Florida. As I was giving it the final inspection before it was loaded on a flatbed, I noticed two

While some Unions are OK and do right by the employee and employer, I worked with and then supervised some of the most hostile and petulant group of people I’ve ever had the displeasure to meet. Brand new employee, made $21 an hour and paid $50 a month for Union dues. Free healthcare for them and their family, pension

“with flawed logic about things”

Yeah, no you’re right. If someone went off in a Miata, hit that sandbag and flipped their car, they’d totally just eat the cost and not try to put the blame on anyone else.

I’ll explain my own reasoning, just for the hell of it. Motorcycling feels so damn good it is hard to describe, and completely worth the added risk.

It’s not like releasing information compromises their investigation in any way.

So you’re saying the crossover, the white ford, the bike, and the car second to the right all decided to run the light at the same time?

The lights look small because of the camera FOV not their actual size in you know..., real life. Also if you are that color blind maybe you should have some special filtered glasses or not driving at all.

but i thought crossovers were supposed to be safer than sedans or wagons? Seeing that thing flip like that is a good reminder that center of gravity matters a lot for safety too. Glad everyone is ok after this mess.

It’s being reported that they’re up to a little over a thousand units per week. That’s less than half of their “adjusted” production targets currently (2,500).

<Well, seems I am wrong here. >

I’m a mechanical engineer who designs pressure vessels and I second your motion. The non-circular vacuum chambers we build have to have a massive amount of reinforcement compared to the circular ones which have none.

Bullshit. What do you mean by “rear compartment”? On some planes, there’s a small hold behind the aft pressure bulkhead. The only other non-pressurized parts within the fuselage are the radome and the wheel wells. If you are talking about the bulk cargo hold under the passenger compartment, you are 100% wrong. If you

You own an engineering firm, and you didn’t grasp the difference between ventilation and pressurization.

What firm do you own? I’d like to avoid it.

<Wrong.

<I would have much preferred she fly in the overhead, since the temperature and pressure are reg’d.>

<Also many planes don’t have climate controlled or pressurized cargo holds.>

Every airliner that goes to altitude has pressurized cargo holds. It would be an immense amount of engineering work to only pressurize the passenger half of an airliner, since the circular cross-section of the entire fuselage is a much better pressure vessel than the D-shaped passenger compartment.
