Why why whyyyy would you decide to roll it back onto its wheels instead of just waiting for a wrecker? This isn’t the WRC.

By 2050? I don’t think anyone will want a gasoline or diesel powered car by then.

Yes, but all of those are costs you incur on any trip into a city for a weekend. The point remains that tickets themselves weren’t so bad.

As soon as I saw that in the article, I was going to post a comment demanding someone run with this. Thank you good sir!

I had the same thought, and made the same comment as you on the giz side!

If they can't give a decent handshake, why'd you hire them in the first place? ;)

I wonder why so many people are fleeing Syria?

It exists because if it didn't, they'd have to charge way more for shipments. Imagine you're shipping a small, highly valuable package, like a diamond. Why would UPS risk $10,000 of liability to make five bucks?

I meant, definitely go next year!

Then get on it!

The effects of the pollutants that VW was hiding are quite well documented. To me it seems it would be relatively easy to say that “Atmospheric NOx causes xx cases of such and such ailments in the y region per year, VW’s vehicles as a whole were responsible for z% of these pollutants, and is therefore responsible for…

We’ll get mainiac in there next year.

Even if he did, it is a hat. ;)

Then he’d just end up in P3, and have to deal with the Hammy-bration one week later.

Why is PST/EST wrong? Because we’re currently on daylight savings time?

Nope, they definitely don’t experience more than you hear. This works because sound waves have peaks and troughs, and when you add two waves together you effectively get a wave that is the sum of the two. So noise cancelling headphones detect the frequency and phase (that is, when peaks and valleys are occuring), and…

I think you’re way off on numbers 1 and 4! In thirty years I figure it will be nearly 100% autonomous cars, and the idea of a DUI ceases to exist if your car is autonomous. If you’re still responsible for the safe operation, what’s the friggen point?

It does. When the sound waves (wind + speakers) superimpose, they genuinely cancel to reduce the amplitude (sound volume) of the incoming wave. Whether or not it’s as effective as ear plugs I don’t know, but if the volume you hear is reduced, it is actually protecting your hearing. Same thing goes for Bose et. al.…

Reminds me of this (which I honestly haven’t gotten around to reading...):

The mustang definitely had some questionable lane changes, but to me it seems like the accident happened well after all of that (a few seconds is indeed well after in highway time!).
