It won’t actually make the crosswalk change any faster.

We have these in my small town of about 40,000 and for some reason they just absolutely fry people’s brains.

Those curves... That color...

Nice observations.  Most kids are embarrassed by their parents at some point. These kids have more reason than most. :-)

Next time trying doing this as Goofus and Gallant.

Conceptually, sure, it’s easy. I was thinking of a busy checkpoint with multiple booths for checking boarding passes and passengers choosing which X-ray machine/body scanner to line up for. Authorities would have to be okay with probabilistic estimates, unless they want to change procedures or add a last-minute…

This left the 914 with a top speed of just 129 mph and a sluggish zero to 60 time of 8.7 seconds.

That would be a good solution. I suspect it will never be implemented as long as airlines are tasked separately with taking the measurements, because you can’t tell who’s going where at the security checkpoint.

A bit of the science behind why some people experience virtual reality sickness: vergence-accommodation conflict.

The situation is not really workable, I think. Of course there are cheaters, and of course innocent people are harmed. By analogy, imagine a tavern with a minimum drinking age and a rule against asking anyone for proof of their age.

The R129 is arguably one of the best-looking of Mercedes’ long-running SL line...

Translate “accident” to “unintended collision or other such undesirable event” if you like.

The description of the analysis is terrible. A few sample quotes:

Nice. When I lived in Bavaria, a Leberkäse Semmel (or maybe a Leberkässemmel?) was a treat for breakfast. No egg or other toppings, though, just mustard.

Those little crispy and burned bits are critical to its success.

What a great article. Thanks, Kyle.
