ornithomorphizing

Right, but it will be the same as if you fell at that final velocity (25mph based on sakim’s calculations above) with another person on your back. Even though you could do a static lift of the suit using a few fingers, it will still hit like a sack of bricks when you fall.

The problem with jumping in a suit like that on the moon: It might “weigh” only 30 lbs when you are carrying it while walking, but it still has all of that 180 lbs mass when it comes to inertia. So when you land after that jump, you still have to stop the full mass.

Newer signs show your speed until about 10-15 over at which point it just says “SLOW DOWN” to prevent exactly that kinda of behavior. 

Jokes aside, this commonly happens to a lot of cars (not just Teslas). Just from a quick google, here’s a VW from the first results.

Well, since Trump’s attempt to “unite” national standards was really an attempt to wind back critical engineering improvements to help out the oil industry, I strongly suspect that those carmakers who signed up with him were only doing so to keep on the good side of a famously petulant and vindictive president. Watch…

SBA just passionately hates EVs and EV owners. Nothing he says is worth thinking about, because it’s all made up or invective.

Just think of it as two 120 circuits at the same time. It really looks like a basic job, especially if you have a spare breaker space. 

Trump is an idiot, but seriously what does flying a flag have to do with socialism.

This is a common myth but the flu shot cannot give you the flu. You may experience a mild immune response for a few days afterwards but it is absolutely not the flu virus you were being immunized against.

How do I delete this comment?

Should have taken the sail pillars all the way to the tailights. Remember your big brother? Thats how its done!

Not if it has some of that sweet sweet midgate action. 

OK, I’ll be as nice as I can. I thought it was fairly obvious that they had this thing in a large superstructure which was supporting it. Where its tailbone would be located never moves at all. It’s pretty clearly being supported. When it raises one leg, it makes no adjustment to reorient itself. The video seems to be…

You are an engineer and you wanted me to explain how this appeared to “balance?” Obviously no part of this machine is balancing at any point.

I don’t. It’s not.

It’s being held up by the rear like gunpla stand

We used to have a dedicated military writer. We no longer have a dedicated military writer. 

I don’t think I would include the wing floats. They appear to be for balance and aren’t the primary means of flotation. That’s the key as I see it. The hull versus floats for primary means of flotation.

I’ve said for a long time that if I won the lottery, I’d buy one of the new Camaros in a heartbeat. Who wouldn’t want basically a Matchbox Car you can drive around every few weeks? It wouldn’t be anything more than a comparatively expensive toy.
