Science is the fucking best.

Cool.

Y’all know, of course, that looking at this rigorously, there is no direct link between how many Joules are stored in a capacitor and whether it can stop your heart. If you delve deeper, you find that direct current is less effective than AC for killing you this way. But then you eyeball the exploding watermelon, and…

It’s a little hard to spell out in English. In this video, you have the correct French pronunciation as well as the fairly close British one.

A V8, RWD, manual wagon? Someone pinch me!

Pretty handy for prototyping, but a terribly ineffiecient and time consuming way to manufacture large scale.

Additive manufacturing is incredibly expensive and is generally always going to be significantly more expensive than normal mass production or even traditional hand crafting techniques. Even just the normal energy and space requirements will keep it the remit of fairly large companies and at best small custom parts…

“Ford, for example, said a 3D-printed spoiler could way less than half a cast metal counterpart”

I think it’s creepier that law enforcement agencies are running massive undercover sting operations for an app that connects someone that needs a ride to someone that is giving rides. Sure, it’s a massive company, but at the root of it, that’s what it is. It’s not like these guys are selling cocaine out of a Burger…

Why are people creeped out about this? This grayball thing isn’t creepy, it’s clever.

“What junkyard wonders await us next time?”

No True Car Person. I come here only for the wallpapers, and that’s it! Anyone else is just a fair-weather asshole.

I love the undercarriage view through the glass floor in the videos on their site.

Oh I see. You think you’re the arbiter of who is “real car people”.

Well first thing, that is a freaking chasm between their lowest estimate, and their highest. The whole premise is based on “Well, we know practically without doubt that the excess emissions were somewhere in between 28kt and 440kt, so we’ll guesstimate that it is 240kt”.

It’s worth noting that the study’s 95 percent confidence intervals for premature deaths and total life-years lost are 130 to 2,800 and 1,400 to 32,000, respectively. The above estimates represent medians, and there’s quite a bit of uncertainty involved.

Protecting the castles will become an issue.

Having owned a BMW of a few years ago (2009), I am befuddled by the notion that anything could be less reliable.

It’s a road car that dominates at the drag strip, but has an extreamly high probability of crashing every time it’s on the road.
