Most bad cars just make me feel sad. This is the only one that makes me angry. It’s a car that in even in its most muscular form is all bark and no bite. It is the perfect representation of the person who owns it.

For my software engineering class this semester, my team is using an Arduino connected to a solid state particle detector and a radium watch dial as a particle source to generate true random one time pads. It’s stupid simple and cheap to put together. You can’t encrypt anything larger than the pad itself and the…

Batteries and rockets share a lot in common. Getting energy out of them is easy. Getting energy out of them at the rate you want is the tricky part.

“...Gravitational tidal forces pull me away.”

The 10 x energy density over Li-ion and LiFe batteries is the magical threshold where a battery has the same energy density as gasoline after you’ve adjusted for the higher efficiency of electric motors. The whole ‘splodey thing with LiO2 batteries is definately a non-trivial issue and has been the biggest roadbloack…

Which would be a problem if they were on asphalt or dry rock, but if that’s the case they wouldn’t be there in the first place.

If you lobbed a zero off the price it might be worth it to do an EV conversion just to piss everybody off.

Oh c’mon now. The Martian had a few problems but it worked overally as a moive. Interstellar on the other hand made me finally realize what a hack fraud Christopher Nolan is.

Wrong song.

Funny that the Copyright office didn’t say the same thing to Sony when PS3 owners were trying to install their own OS on their machines.

It’s a Miata with a V10 swap. They had to lengthen the wheelbase to fit the engine in it.

Bidding has just started and it’s at an eye-watering $27,000...

It doesn’t have to get that bad to ruin its structural integrity. Most aircraft don’t spend their service lives submerged underwater, but if even the slightest spot is found in an annual or a C or D check, the plane is grounded and the entire component has to be removed and replaced.

Maybe not with the V6, but the way Dodge has always built them, it was impossible to put anything in it other than the expensive V10. Both Ford and GM know that in order to build Captain Insano Mode halo cars like the Z06 (when it doesn’t overheat) and the GT350, they need to make automatic base model convertibles for…

Imagine if the Z06 and the Shelby GT 350 were the base model Corvette and Mustang respectively. They wouldn’t sell well, would they?

No, but it does corrode.

It does an amazing job of showing how things behave in a vacuum in zero g...and that’s about it.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

At the very least they could have tried rocking it out. It couldn’t have made their situation any worse.
