It’s not as heavy but it is going faster and thus has similar amounts of kenetic energy. It’s hitting a thin portion of a typical containment wall that isn’t supported as well and NOT penetrating the wall.

Next you are going to tell me that when I worked for a couple and they announced they lost $10 million that year and had to lay off the dude that ran the forklift in the warehouse that he wasn’t the cause of all those losses.

It’s not a fault of the aiming, but the Double Ugly. It’s got so many bent down and bent up areas. If you look at the centerline of it, it does line up with the target.

I work in nuclear power. After 9/11 there was a statement about how containment would handle a similar attack.

VW reminds me of what has happened where I work.

Yeah, the DMVs have become so much better in the last 30 years.   I remember standing in line like for a bank teller for hours back in the day.  Now, I just go online, pay the fee and the registration shows up a week or so later.

Growing up, the DMV was a place that took forever and a week to do anything. But today, with online and mail renewals, the load isn’t that bad. Worse I’ve had in the last couple decades is an hour wait, and with good seating and wifi, it isn’t bad at all.

The Creeper has a background story. I wanted a go-kart as a kid. Dad being cheap put a lawnmotor engine on a creeper. For wheels, he used a baby buggy wheels. To turn them he had a rope on each wheel so the front wheels could be turned independently. No gas, no brakes, just two ropes. When he tried to ride it, the…

The only idea I have for something stupidier and more dangerous than the Tomahawk is to put the engine on a garage creeper.

St Elmo’s Fire was filming in the DC area and setup for street scenes. They put up signs saying “keep moving” to tell the DC crowds to just move on with life.

Sure, the car will be cheaper to buy. But imagine the insurance rates.

I will buy it and make something crazier and more dangerous than Dodge ever dreamed of making.

What’s weird is that this still happens. I was in Doha a year ago and Ramadan was going on, which had some weird rules for how life was. In the evening, the Mosque would determine the sun had fully set and fire off a Cannon and thus signal the end of Fasting.

Man does this trigger my reverse psychology thing. Want me to stop and gawk? Tell me to keep moving. I have to actively think “I have to keep moving”, or I will actively slow down to see why I’m being told to keep moving.

3rd gear. I’ve had training on enclosed spaces and they are no joke. A lot of deadly gases are completely odorless and colorless. For example, the first indication of having a nitrogen leak in many cases is someone falling over. Human nature being the way it is, the automatic response is to rush over to help.. and…

I like this idea.

Reverse. I remember seeing a documentary about trains and the UK. It used to be that each town had its own time, but to make the trains run on a schedule, they had to come up with a constant time for the entire country.

I have a fun story about this. I was tasked at a different job to review a test report. Actually, my task was to route it for review, not perform the review. One of the experts came back with questions and comments, that I addressed.

Agree.

I think it more likely, the mechanic will get something is pink.
