I can help!

Here’s an attempt to brighten it up a little. The quality of that imagine isn’t so great.

Gotta say, I’m impressed that the Model 3 hasn’t leaked. There’s got to be a _lot_ of industrial designers and engineers that have had the chance to see the overall look of the car, and it seems like we haven’t had a credible leak yet. That’s either secretive design within the company where people are only designing…

[this is car-related, trust me]

I love watching the in-car cams from the LMP1 cars when they resume from a yellow flag. They both sound and look like they’re going into warp when the gas and electric stuff goes to full blast.

If she’s having a hysterectomy after 1-2 pregnancies, then they might just remove all the foreign tissue, so she might not have to take the anti-rejection drugs forever.

On top of what the others have pointed out, another risk for a ground fire is parachuting right back into the flames. It has happened at least once.

Sorry, BOV was the wrong term, wastegate was what I was looking for. Basically, instead of bleeding off air to prevent turbine overspeed, they can use the MGU to take that energy instead.

Why split? See the linked article. Basically, massive packaging and cooling improvements. Otherwise you have to route your intake air to the back of the engine where the turbo is, or run your exhaust up to the front where the turbo is. This way, air comes in front->gets compressed->gets exploded in cylinder->exhaust…

I agree that it probably shouldn’t be murder, if only because it clearly wasn’t intentional murder and that might risk the case being thrown out entirely. Idiots that can afford fairly nice cars but don’t take them to a track to get their jollies off can rot in hell.

Tax breaks aren’t _that_ bad, since they are only a loss if the company is profitable. If someone walked up with a well-funded but doomed venture selling literal shit, I could affordably promise them two trillion in tax breaks so that their VC backers piss away money in my jurisdiction, rather than someone else’s.…

The ISS is situated deep in the earth’s magnetic field, which blocks charged particles. Anything going more than a couple thousand km above the planet needs to think about a much harsher radiation environment.

That last picture looks like the freezing rain we (southern ontarians) had last night.

Velodyne is an interesting company itself.

If it’s something that came on gradually as she aged and was consistent, she might just think “oh, I’m a bit forgetful around evening time” and not realize it’s actually being drunk.

The Concorde did the same thing - there was actually a big expansion gap just aft the cockpit, and pilots (at least on the goodbye flights) would put their hats in it: http://www.seattlepi.com/business/artic…

In context, it wasn’t disrespect - He’d just thrown a boneheaded pick when he had a decent drive happening and time left in the half to finish it up. The context was that he was pissed at himself for throwing it.

The really strange bit is that because of structural advantages of running a big taxi operation, the taxi companies should be able to beat Uber on price/quality since their costs should be lower.

This sounds theoretically awesome.

Formula E will be most interesting to me next year, when the teams can finally develop batteries. Motors, gearboxes, and motor controllers (what they can develop this season) are fairly mature, but there’s all kinds of wacky barely-out-of-the-lab battery technologies teams could try to deploy, and that’ll be good fun…
