Also alien queens are not fond of flame throwers

Jason keep in mind that Experian (and R.L. Polk, owner of CarFax) are only obtaining registration data on cars with the SAE/NHTSA standardized 17-digit VIN format. This was mandated for 1981 Model Year cars, although I have seen a few 1980's using it also.

Random engineer musing here, but I’ve often wondered if there’s a way to design the 5th wheel connection point to safely break the trailer away in a rollover, while remaining attached in all other circumstances.

Oh boy are you about to be disappointed. Not only have I now written about counterweights, but I’ve also written about blue anodized wheel cylinders:

I’m genuinely curious to hear what most peoples’ suggested alternative would have been.

You mean like Pontiac Firebolt?

No one is stopping you people from being shit human beings, but we have the free speech right to tell you that you are shit human beings.

I think Escaflowne should be in the list?

The “kick sensor” for Range Rover products is not under the center of the bumper, it’s the driver’s side rear bumper radar sensor. Super easy to set off accidently, super hard to do it on purpose.

As Ann Reardon covered in her own video debunking the same TikTok, this “hack” will never work as advertised because popcorn kernels need to reach about 355°F/180°C to pop, while chocolate starts to burn at 200°F/95°C and even the sugar in the chocolate burns at 350°F/176°C:

Rust particles will cling to the tenent setae, and since DT’s wake has a high density of such particles, they will quickly form armor fully encasing the insect and inadvertently creating the next Marvel superhero: the Iron Fly.

very good question. garbage bag, duct tape, zip ties, rope, rubber gloves, balaclava, brass handled cane, the usual.... https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/all

Douglas made ‘em to last. Talking of DC’s with a long service life, my brother works for FedEx at the airport, and he occasionally still sees N306FE come through. FedEx bought the DC-10-30 freighter new in 1986. In 1994, it endured a wild hijacking attempt by a jumpseater who planned on killing the flight crew with a…

Oh, story time:

Before our building was renovated, flies would often come into our building and drive us bananas. One of my co-workers invested in the bug zapper tennis racket. We took turns with it, got little work done. It was a riot.

And then the wasps came.

Apparently, somewhere in the drop ceiling was a nest of…

What’s the last thing to go through the mind of a bug when it hits your windshield?

And what about the bugs that end up on an airplane? Is there anyone there to pick them up? Did their bags make it?

NOW we need an etymologist.
