Actually—it was tested—everything except the landing and take-off was done on Apollo 10.

So are the senators going to force Oklahoma (Choctaw, "red people") to change its name?

Probably not. It's a concept model built to impress the tuning crowd. IIRC Audi has announced that the next RS3 will be powered by a beefed-up 2.0T engine not the 2.5.

The VW GTI W12 concept that was on Top Gear a few years ago had non-functional climate control and radio. What's a few blank buttons on a concept model going to matter anyway?

It's a concept car built to impress the tuner community ("look at what the A3 can be"). Like the VW GTI W12 that they built a few years ago (was on Top Gear) this car is probably not a candidate for actual production.

One of the more popular Audi A3 mods is to replace the U.S. tail lights (red only) with their European counterparts (amber turn signals).

And that's where "Three Dog Night" got the name for the band.

The ROW doesn't have U.S. emissions regulations that require urea treament of the exhaust. The tank size keeps a quattro drivetrain from fitting in the chassis.

The chassis isn't big enough to fit in the quattro drivetrain, its dual gas tanks, and the Adblue urea tank (for exhaust conditioning).

I believe the railroad KarTrak was a victim of cheap computer processing availability as railroads adopted Optical Character Recognition software to replace it. They now aim cameras at the cars as they pass and read the identification information that's painted on the side.

I make crème fraiche by mixing sour cream (1 cup) with a quart of heavy cream. Let it sit out for 8-12 hours then refrigerate.

collegehumor.com did a video that is supposedly a pilot for "24" done in the 1990s:

"Do Not Hump" is used for items that should not be sent through a railroad car classification (sorting) yard which is known as a "Hump Yard". Cars are pushed over the crest of a small hill and they then coast through a system of switches to distribute them to their outgoing train. This is not a process that…

That's the Boost Protective Cover—it's to protect the spacecraft from impact and aerodynamic stresses for the first 2:30 minutes of flight. It (like it's Apollo predecessor) is jettisoned with the Launch Escape System.

The Silver Streak made it to the lobby of Union Station in 1976 because it didn't have an escalator to contend with. And it was smiling afterwards.

The way I learned is to put the plunger into the bowl at the opening then push it down gently. At that point, pull up on the plunger so as to suck the obstruction back into the bowl where it can be dealt with—usually once the obstruction is back in the bowl the toilet will successfully dispose of it with a normal…

It's up to the author to police the comments and to not promote those that are inappropriate and/or to delete them.

The title of the song is "Oh, Pretty Woman".

The actual name of the machine is a "pasta extruder" and it's capable of making many shapes of pasta by using different dies. Unfortunately it can't make filled pastas such as ravioli or tortellini—that requires specialized machines that are capable of filling and folding flat pasta. Kitchen Aid offers an add-on…

Some could be electric lines. I doubt those could be telegraph lines—there never was a big need for the home telegraph.
