I got this exact same lecture, along with some case studies on horrible disasters that are now seared into my brain. It’s the engineers’ job to anticipate these things, not the users’ job to adapt to our shitty work.

That’s the good side:

A mechanically crappy FD RX-7 for $7K is still a good deal. Suck it up.

That last video of the old life boat launch needs a soundtrack of “Danger Zone” but played on traditional Irish instruments. 

Can Confirm.

These robots are awaking and trying to kill us, we should have taken Westworld more seriously.

“Moderate” in state- and local-level politics* is just another way of saying “LOL no primary for you!”

hmm. no headquake. This list is false.

Driving white Veyrons after Labor Day?! What are we, peasants?!

Four Veyrons, one for every season.

I mean, honestly, if you don’t have one for each day of the week, what’s even the point?

Neh, you should slash their tires instead. Think of the lives you’d be saving. You’d be a hero, man.

Indy500, LeMans and Tour de France.

Its from their website so whatever.

My favorite car-buying myth:

It’s thermal distortion, not elastic, from heat, and it is tiny compared to the amount the rubber would expand - it looks more like the rubber got abraded away, followed by the tangential belts, followed by the radial cords, which is what has to fail to split in that particular direction.

The whole thing wasn’t written very well... and even the pedant in me forgives the author... simply because spreading scientific knowledge is something to be treasured (especially in these current climes.)

That’s so metal

The heat applied to the steel cause the cords to elasticity deform.

On a cloverleaf, exiting and entering traffic has to criss-cross, some accelerating and others decelerating.
