it’s rather simple actually. your engine that was previously assembled by a robot in a hermetically sealed environment was just torn apart and put back together by a guy working minimum wage with a dirty workbench bench who dropped out of high school and enjoys the cigarettes of a homemade variety.

Actually what you descibed is called “Airline Pilot” a professional and licensed position which requires annual re-training, periodic testing, strict standards for things like E.M.O.T.I.O.N., stict adherance to checklists etc etc.

loss of the wingtip will narrow the box between flight surface failure and stall at high altitudes.

I’ve been interested in buying a tesla.. but honestly.. if their approach to every accident is to say “the driver is an idiot” in a VERY public way: No Thanks. Keep your Car and your PR BS. if I crash being an idiot.. just leave me to my embarrassment! (or to RIP) Tell the insurance company and leave it at that.

No flashing light on Lewis’s car, NO BRAKES USED.. not even the Kers..

FRONT WHEEL DRIVE CARS SHOULD BE BANNED. STUPIDEST INVENTION EVER. END OF STORY.

IF you can get a message to Andrea Alger, please tell him to call the nuclear fuel rod guys.  They can drill anything.  2.5mm seems very coarse. I’ve heard stories of FAR more impressive feats than that.

I linked this event to terrorism on friday. Prove me wrong.. dry run perhaps.. but terrorism none the less.

Your fellow americans are A) using the small business tax break to do their real estate business in or B) work for the federal government and don’t care what it costs. Still, I’m happy that the off-lease models are really looking sharp these days!

It’s called “Pay as you go insurance” .. mass always wins in a crash. Get rear ended by a box truck and you’ll see what I mean.

DDT. I make my own. Saved our behinds in WWII, totally harmless to mammals and birds and frogs etc etc, (yeah, it’s called Science, look it up) and is responsible for wiping out malaria, chiggers and yellow fever from the US of A and many other places.

Class-Action lawsuit anyone?

PLEASE lets Hope there is NO CAMERA SHAKE in this one. The last one would have been bearable if they had just held the camera steady.

Anyone compared the newer TV’s to the old Plasmas of Excellence? I’m told off-angle viewing is horrible these days.

MAED largely replaced MAD starting in the late 60’s. Mutually Assured Economic Destruction... Of course to be sucessful, the MAD doctrine or posture has to be maintained.

Question: 10% improvement in fuel economy, means 10% lower emissions per mile. So how much worse were the ‘emissions per mile’ without the cheat? More than 10% worse? This is the engineering information required to make an informed consumer choice about the cars and if we should fix them or not.

Govt shuts down every night at 5pm and on Fridays is closed for a whole weekend!

Overlooked the track today. The TV does NOT do the elevation changes any justice. It is epic.

No, no and no again. Carbon fiber is there to reduce weight. Weight is important in a crash. There is no substitute for mass of the vehicle in an accident. The mass of the occupants (for those of you in *sigh* that means people) must be as small a proportion of the total weight of the car and people as possible. For…

That’s nuts. There is NO replacement for mass in an accident. Small cars are deadly and require enormous engineering prowess to make them “safe”... safe being defined as hitting a stationary object and not killing the occupant.. but get hit by a big-rig and kiss your road warrior ass goodbye
