How about an Audi S5?

Yup

This is art...... this needs to go beyond kinja.

Yeah this really KILLS me about this whole thing; owners are making it seem like this is absolutely the end of the world for their cars, and the automotive media (and general media itself) is not making it much better.

That’s what’s pissed me off the most about this whole thing: the owners that pretend they liked the car for environmental reasons only and are the most righteous environmentally conscious people ever. I’d bet a lot that they went as far as looking at the mileage of the car, went “Yup, that’ll save me money and I can…

It’s not worth $00,000, it’s a car that gets VERY decent mileage, but yes, it “pollutes” like a car from the 90s.

I’m yet to understand the owner angst, other than lost resell value, that is simmering in this scandal.

The answer to the majority of these complaints could have simply been: “Sorry, Volkswagen is not responsible for poor financial decisions and an inability to understand/accept basic principles of economics”.

Great writeup. Best of all, you’ve pointed out there are several “bridges too far” that really lie beyond VW’s responsibility. Owning, operating, and maintaining a car costs money. For those expenditures, an owner expects to be able to drive themselves from Point A to Point B on an ongoing basis. The nastiness of…

To be fair though, did Hillary (the nice old lady) elaborate on towel policy either?

What gave her the impression her diesel engined car was a zero emission vehicle?

That sign, since when is buying a average car an ‘investment’.

I must say I’m starting to have some doubts about this Trump gentleman. I initially quite liked his idea to make America great again; I was lucky enough to visit the country recently and I rated it only “very good” rather than “great” (I knocked a mark off because the hotel kept forgetting to change our towels and…

Not when you carefully coordinate your first work poop with NPOCP publishing

That bomb would do next to nothing to this. It would probably toss it through the air a bit though. You’d really need a rather substantial shaped charge. Even then, you’d only cut a small hole through, ejecting some nasties back out the hole, but having very little wide-ranging impact. Still would cost a lot to clean…

I wonder if a U Haul as used in Oklahoma City would be sufficient. This thing is a round casing (as opposed to a building wall) which would deflect much of the force of the blast. Further, the mass of material here is far greater then the facade of a building. In other words, I suspect you might need a more powerful…

It’s also worth noting that it’s safely trapped in containers rather than floating around in the atmosphere, which is what happens to the uranium and thorium in the coal we burn.

The Nuclear Information Resource Service regulates how this stuff can be transported.

Replace article text with makerofthegames’ comment. Used/spent fuel, which this is not, does not currently get “buried at a designated dumping facility” because there is no operational repository. There are three sites in the USA licensed to accept class C low level waste (LLW), which does get buried. The NIRS does…
