Elsewhere there’s speculation that rivet scraps or metal shavings were left inside the inlet cowl where air circulates for de-icing. The circulating air conveyed the small metal pieces around and around the cowl, scoring the inside of the cowl until it eventually resulted in a failure.

You can get Hep C from saliva, and it develops into a life changing chronic infection.

I watched some of the video, she was way too into it. She tried to climb out of the window, then she starts hitting herself repeatedly, then leans over and starts coughing up phlegm and I think trying to vomit.

Isn’t Alanis King the weekend Jalopnik editor? She mostly covers random weekend craziness (as in this case) and racing, and she writes the “Holy Shift” series about the origins of automotive technology.

Not many people realize that when airbrakes fail, they lock up.

Surely there’s an engineer around here that can determine if the low center of gravity (18 inches/46 cm high) and 50/50 distribution would cause the Model S to fall “belly first”.

Is your husband getting these MRIs ordered by his neurologist? There’s plenty of other reasons to get an MRI besides injury, and the desk clerk (and radio-tech) should know that.

It’s spelled Klassy.

This. I have plenty of respect for Elvis’s music, but anything he touched ended up looking incredibly tacky. Graceland is one tacky room after another.

Amphetamines like Adderall actually act as dopamine reuptake inhibitors and as dopamine releasing agents. The end result is essentially the same, but Adderall just tends to be more potent.

They may not be licking their feces, but kids are notorious for poor bathroom hygiene. There’s a reason why fecal-oral infections are so much more common in young children than adults.

I'm not sure.

They already do. If it senses your hand off the wheel it will beep at you, and if you fail to grab it the car will begin to decelerate.

Yes, guy is dead because he wasn’t paying attention. But he’d also still be alive if the trucker properly yielded to oncoming traffic.

This was in a rural area. Not exactly a gridlocked street. I think the key question is “If there was plenty of time for the Tesla to stop”.

Depending on when he pulled out, there may not have been time for any reasonable person to stop. If that drawing is to scale, it would appear that the Tesla was ~150 feet from the intersection when the truck began crossing. That’s right on the margin of whether he could have even theoretically stopped.

It’s not the responsibility of the oncoming traffic to stop or slow down. If cars were coming at him at speed, he should not have crossed.

The new Top Gear sucks. And The Grand Tour is produced by an American company.

Sounds like Dean Wormer and the mayor were hatching a crooked scheme. And they put Neidermeyer on it since he’s a sneaky little shit.
