“What if someone like me had been sitting in that office complex in ...”

It’s about the same as it was on FTA - there’s generally a typo _somewhere_ on every article. But the content is just as good. Putinbots are out in force in the comments.

I can get a 3 ton rental car with 300+ hp for $200, and that can impart a whole lot more energy than 3lbs of explosives. I can even make it a “drone” by putting a brick on the accelerator a distance away from a crowd. Armed drones are a stupid thing to fear.

There’s a video of what it sounds like on a Prius. Note that as soon as he goes over some pebbles, the crunching sound is louder than the noise emitter. These things are barely audible beyond 5km/h.

Absolutely you will. But a noise emitter that cuts out at most city speeds isn’t the cause of any of it. Target actual problems (big truck diesels, pedestrian deaths) before trying to solve small problems (2-watt noise emitters on electric cars). You can’t hear these things over a car radio. So unless you’re also…

Cars are still extremely loud. Stand by a highway or even a city street: almost all the noise you hear is tire and wind noise, not engine noise.

You’d probably need a couple degrees below 98 - even at rest, the human body will be producing a couple hundred watts of waste heat it’ll need to shed, and it’s _really_ hard to shed heat when you’re immersed in water.

Sure they will! For a couple months. Then they’ll start it up again, since it is a renewable source of concessions. They’ve been playing this game for decades.

Assuming it doesn’t affect his actual driving ability, I wouldn’t be surprised if he got a bit _more_ attention from top teams than your typical driver of equal talent.

He got it moving a second time, this time only giving it enough throttle to get moving and then coasting in an effort to harvest energy through the car’s hybrid system.

Apparently the way to survive the 24 Hours of Le Mans is to not drive a Toyota.

You can be sure that 1980s jalopnik would have been castigating this thing at the time. 50hp and a plastic body? This thing would have had the driving dynamics of a shopping cart. Though a shopping cart would’ve been safer in a collision.

They’re allowed nowadays, but are a good way to piss off your drivers if the driver being told to pull aside doesn’t feel like it is merited. To paraphrase Lewis one year when the team wanted him to let Rosberg by: “If he’s faster, he can pass me”.

I cannot believe just how much fun and joy Liberty Media has started putting into F1. Just this season alone: That kid getting to visit Kimi, Hamilton’s helmet yesterday, the raft race. Also: they keep extending track contracts with tracks that are actually good (Canadian GP, safe until 2029!)

I get that it was playing off the term witch hunt. It was clever. It also implied a joking wish for the drowning of the president - the office of the president (if not its current occupant) is presumably still at least somewhat respected by some of the voters we need to convert in 2018/2020.

Thanks to their opinions on contraception, fucking Trump voters will often just result in more Trump voters :-(

It absolutely doesn’t argue that they deserve the same amount of respect.

Early on, Obama and his white house constantly complained about Fox News and their unfair coverage. Although to us, it genuinely was massively factually unfair, there’s a large segment of the country that would equivocate Obama’s whining with Trump’s, and unfortunately, some of that fraction are the people you need…

So I know it’s unpopular, but please consider how you’d react to:
“We need to start conducting this witch hunt properly-we’ll throw Obama in a lake and, if he drowns, he’s innocent”

I believe it is within the president’s powers to raise tariffs up to 20%. Beyond that he needs congressional approval.
