This is a clear case of a burglary, not a robbery.

As a survivor of the ‘80s, I rebuke your attempts to bring back teal.

For all our talk about 3D, we really live in a two-dimensional world....

How about just holding the camera still and letting the lava lamp do its thing?

I submit the lowly Sonata. It’s perfectly adequate in every way. It has plenty of room for four passengers (my daughter told me it has more room in the second row than our Explorer). It has decent fuel mileage while remaining peppier than a most sports cars from the ‘70s through the ‘90s. It has bland looks that are

Thanks for filling the gap. I had to choose between talking about subsidence or talking about sediment as I only have so much goof-around time in the day. I was talking about subsidence in a class one day when an older (60-something) fellow related a story about his family’s farm in the Mississippi River floodplain.

So very true.

Until the bandwagoners get their way and 50 years down the road everything they thought they were fixing introduced a whole new set of problems. That’s what happened when they built the levees in the first place!

I’d bet the majority of the readers at Jalopnik skip over it. Headline baiting, this author, etc.

It’s a combination of both. Subsidence due to groundwater pumping is happening in some locations; erosion and a lack of infilling sediment in others.

Measurements are made with GPS, satellite-based radar, and lidar, depending on the scale and accuracy required. All of these can be tied back to a reference datum that uses the gravimetric center of the earth as a reference point.

So, you lead with a misleading image of a road (infrastructure!), but the article itself has nothing to do with roads and they aren’t implicated in the findings. Fish farms and levees are the causes, but you don’t discuss the mechanisms or even show images?

Yes. To all of the reasons.

It will be interesting to see how the FAA decides to handle UAS (drones) using the AT&T network to fly beyond line-of-sight. The current rules do not allow this for commercial purposes.

There’s a lot of suspension damage. Things bent instead of breaking. It’s still sitting in the shop. I’ll know more next week.

It looks like Pagani builds a stronger body (carbon fiber vs aluminum) but Subaru builds a stronger suspension. At least my WRX’s wheel stayed attached when it was t-boned.

The corollary: if you go fast enough over washboard roads, your tires will skip across the top of the bumps and the ride will be smooth. The downside is a level of control similar to sliding across ice.

I was fortunate to see this in person on a smaller lake when I was a kid. The sound is astounding.

I owned the Sand Scorcher. The battered remains can be found in my garage. I think the only differences between them were the bumper and the body.
