Completely foolproof. There is definitely no way a robotic teddy bear could be unsafe. I’m sure there was never, say, a series of video games about that.

Well, yeah; that way, you either die instantly from severe smashing of the head, or possibly survive with severe smashing of the legs and feet, depending on which side you get hit from.

It is the Cloak of Levitation. That scene is from Infinity War, when the Avengers encounter the Guardians on Titan.

I think I have a better idea. The passenger lies side-to-side across the vehicle, perpendicular to the direction of travel. The bed is kind of like a hammock, pivoting at the left and right ends (or head and foot ends). If the vehicle crashes or makes a sudden stop, the bed swings forward, and the passenger’s weight…

It comes to a bit over 4%.

That quote is not the first time I’ve heard of snorkels being used to protect against dust instead of water.

This exact thing happened to my wife’s Maxima, and it left me with the same questions you had. I found a dime in the floorboard and duct-taped it over the hole.

Hey, I was on an SAE Baja team too! Did you compete against LeTourneau University?

“I mean, we could all just buy mid-2000s Saab 9-5 wagons and get just as much room, but there’s only so many Saabs to go around.”

I like the “take the loan and pay it off immediately” idea. But would that affect one’s credit score, having an account with a very short history?

Based on the username, I’d say we should probably listen to this guy.

Let me try to explain, based on my limited understanding. Suppose you have a south wind; it’s coming from the south, heading north at 10 meters per second. If you have a perfectly-efficient, frictionless, magical sailing craft, and you point it north, it’ll accelerate up to 10 m/s. However, if you point it, say, 30°…

This is really counterintuitive, and it took my brain a while to sort of understand it, but did you know that with conventional sails, the fastest direction to travel is actually not parallel to the wind, but at an angle? Apparently, certain types of sail-powered craft are actually able to travel faster than the wind…

Wow, this Rolls-Royce appears to be equipped with the rare Face-Basher option. Maybe it was part of the Closed-Casket Funeral Special package.

I’m going to try to balance this out so that we have at least one of every major kind of vehicle.

This puny V8 does not have enough cylinders. Cadillac used to make real engines.

I kinda feel the same way, but also, I don’t think they’re asking for sympathy. They have their own idea of “cool” which seems stupid to other people. Lots of things I like seem stupid to other people. Some of them even seemed stupid to me before I understood them.

“Sure, you can get to set up time at another HDPE for this sort of money...”

Huh, I never knew that. I guess I’ve learned a thing today. Thank you.

The thing is, I live in Texas, and pickups are everywhere. I have noticed a few of them dog-tracking, but it still doesn’t seem as common as it is on E-series vans. Maybe it’s just confirmation bias.
