Cybertruck Full Review

newtboy says...

Oofff- Every cybertruck on the road has been recalled for dangerous design issues like gas pedals that stick on at full throttle, trunks that slice fingers off, and unprotected electrical systems that cannot get damp.
The stainless steel panels also cannot get damp or they permanently stain.
The bulletproof glass was a dismal failure.
The bed is absolutely tiny….it can barely fit a bicycle
The cybertruck has utterly failed as a truck…especially a $100000 truck you cannot resell for a year.

And as noted above driver assist on all models has failed, full autonomous driving is still a pipe dream, it seems to be getting farther away not closer.

Tesla’s just released profits were down another 55% from last year!

😂 And Elon insists he deserves an over $50 billion bonus!?! 😂

The Rise and Fall of BioShock

newtboy says...

I wish they would upgrade it for the current console generation. I would play it again. Good times, good, but damp times.

Sorry @ant, I loved bioshock, but that’s too long a video for a tour down the digital lane.

A different type, but yeah, they can be found under just about every pot these days. Every somewhat covered crevice seems to harbour some, really.

I had only seen singular examples in damp corners until maybe 3 or 4 years ago when they started popping up in ever increasing numbers. Nowadays, go outside and lift any pot, you'll find 5+ of them scrambling. When I pulled up the edge of an old sheet of rolled roofing the other day, there were dozens of them.

The Dolly Zoom: More Than A Cheap Trick

dannym3141 says...

This is not necessarily on topic, but good grief i never realised pictures of someone's face could look so different. The bit at 1:37 with the woman's face was a revelation! I didn't know that happened, and it kind of explains some pictures i've accidentally taken with forward facing cameras (and been horrified by). I always thought i must have good/bad days and look terrible sometimes, but that explains a lot.

In Thailand i had a picture taken on a tree-platform-zipline 80 feet in the air, sweaty, red, disheveled and sleepless... and it's the best picture i've ever seen of me, and my skin looked uniform and nice, not red and damp as it did in a mirror there. Sorry for off-topic, but how the feck does that work? It wasn't airbrushed or anything, they had very little time for processing. I feel like 50% of my mystery has been answered in that one moment of the video!

Grappler Police Bumper - No more PIT maneuver

Asmo says...

Because the anchor is at the rear of the vehicle, it would normalise any such manouver, ie. a sudden turn that would typically result in a roll over (assume back left wheel is trapped and the suspect turns hard left or right) would be arrested by the trap if they turned left, as the left wheel would want to rise to flip the car, and might actually be exacerbated if they turn right, where the tether would go under the car and anchor the wheel, increasing the momentum of the body of the car over that pivot point.

However, much like the example of weight in the rear of a trailer reducing the chance of loss of control, any turn would be damped by the addition of an entire car attached to the back of the vehicle, such that I think any turning manouver would likely be dulled substantially.

Additionally, as soon as the thing is deployed, the car is going to decelerate rapidly as it's essentially anchored.

On the surface, if you can control the deployment, looks like it would be a winner.

mas8705 said:

I'm sure this might have been answered already, but I feel like it does need to be answered: What would happen if the suspect were to try and suddenly turn the steering wheel after getting snagged? I don't want to assume that the car could still flip, or still have some control rather than be forced to drive forward until it comes to a complete stop.

If anyone knows the answer, please feel free to respond. I don't want to be negative here of course since it is a legit question to ask.

Three Teen Girls Drowned as Cops Stand By and Do Nothing

newtboy says...

Yes, it is well beyond hope to think that THIS video makes a retraction proper.
The clip does not show a single person go into the water, water that had at LEAST 5-10 cameras pointed at it the entire time...yet they don't have ANY footage of ANY cop going even ankle deep....they have footage of 2 cops that took off their belts, one of which MAY be damp below the waist, or maybe not.
If I see you drowning and I take off my belt and stand around talking to my friends while you die...did I save you? Did I even try?
We have seen multiple angles of the pond with the car sinking in it, but absolutely zero footage of any cop even wading in, much less ALL the cops diving in to save the 3 girls. Every cop that didn't TRY is a murderer IMO. They have a clear legal DUTY to TRY...it's what they're paid to do.

It sounds like this department would benefit from water proof body cameras. The word of the police is less than worthless, they are professional, trained liars that lie as part of their job. I don't trust what liars say. You are free to trust admitted professional liars all you like, but I won't be following you down that rabbit hole.

Yes, we are at the point where, if cops CLAIM they did the right thing but still had terrible results as if they had NOT done the right thing, it clearly didn't happen with out proof that they did the right thing. That's what happens when you do the wrong thing so consistently, you lose the benefit of a doubt.

They are all still liars and murderers...even if what they claim, that one officer waded in and tried to save them, is true (and by no means am I saying it is), the other dozen cops sat back and did nothing but wait for death. EDIT: They could easily have made a human chain from shore to the car and saved all 3 with no 'danger' besides dirty uniforms.

bcglorf said:

Here's possibly the clip being referenced, from the sheriffs office directly. Shows two officers, both stripped down from uniform, 1 looks like they are carrying back their vest suggesting it had been stripped off. I'm not sure how much more can realistically be expected. As the Sheriff said, have we really hit the point where unless we have a video of the deputies wading into the water it clearly didn't happen? I guess it's beyond hope to see a retraction of declaring them all liars and murderers for failing to save a bunch of kids from their own stupidity.

Three Teen Girls Drowned as Cops Stand By and Do Nothing

newtboy says...

Yes, the Sheriff SAYS that, but I did notice they don't produce a video of damp deputies anywhere, they just CLAIM it's out there. I looked, it's not. They're liars....but I expect nothing less from murderers.

SFOGuy said:

Well...

I don't know what to make out of this press conference, then, 2 days ago---where the Sheriff says the deputies you can see NOT doing anything aren't the ones who waded into the pond---

And that the ones who did wade in can be seen in other dash cam videos without belts and later without their pants (he has a pretty clear moment where he points out that deputies don't take off their belts or pants randomly for no reason at all...)

So---this might be a more unclear story...

Indian scrambled eggs with a surprise

newtboy says...

Sorry, but I'm 99.6% sure this is totally fake.
Watch the guy who removes them...he's already reaching for the first chick before it hits the pan, before it's even out of the egg...he totally knew it was coming.
Also, (if you've raised chicks, you know) chicks come out of an egg damp, these chicks were completely dry.
Now, look at the start of the video...notice that all 3 eggs are in the container in odd, raised up positions? Notice that he almost grabs the corner egg, then remembers that's not the one with a chick in it and grabs one of the raised eggs?
This was a blatant attempt to create business for their road side omelet stand....and I agree they should all be dropped onto a giant hot wok and have their feet burned to a crisp for this.

artician said:

I don't know that this is fake. It happens all the time with eggs and hens that don't benefit from modern production methods of sorting.
(I never would have guessed I'd say something in favor of modern food production, but there you go?)
Anyway, I've had to do this myself when I was a kid, growing up on my families ranch. I doubt this was fake because of the reaction of the guys cooking, too, but if it were I'd hold all their faces to that frying pan for throwing three baby chicks onto a hot plate.

Extreme Soil Liquefaction

Porksandwich says...

I haven't seen it quite like this, they say that's clay in the description there. I was expecting when they dug into it that water would start pooling in the hole...kinda weird.


But I've been on job sites where the ground looks damp at most and the more you drive, walk, whatever over it the water just starts to pump up to the surface and it becomes a total mess. It's why you try not to park machinery anywhere near where you're clearing because you might come back to a machine that once it moves will literally be stuck in something like quick sand.

What I've always been told is that when you prepare a site for something like a walking/driving surface, you have to consider the size and weight of things driving across it. And you install stone in an appropriate size and depth to create ......sort of a locked together surface where all the edges of the rocks form kind of a linked bridge that provides stability over the dirt below it. So the final asphalt/concrete won't break apart because of too much sub-surface movement. And the stone also allows water to drain away into the subsurface or from under the asphalt/concrete so it won't freeze and bust the ground from below.


So I think what the description is saying is that this ground has reached some kind of perfect saturation point. Probably once it takes in so much water it probably fills the clay and the pool structure below it, and then the water has to flow elsewhere.

It's not like they had a lot of shame to begin with, but recently...

You mentioned the rather scandalous jumper remark. Between this and the food packages distributed by the Red Cross and the electricity/heating issue and the NHS/Lewisham proceedings and the privatisation of the Royal Mail for a pittance and the housing situation in the greater London area, I'm rather surprised you haven't paraded Dave's head around on a pike just yet.

Today's Guardian had a few pieces about cold food, damp homes, freezing pensioners and overcrowded food banks -- it was as depressing as it was infuriating.

The establisment has always been out of sync with what most people perceive to be reality, but Dave and his buddies seem to have cut all ties to the rest of the country.

alien_concept said:

Okay, I'm up to speed. This doesn't surprise me in the slightest. They're in the middle of rushing through the gagging laws which would effectively stop activists and protests. They have stopped all but a very few cases of legal aid, so if you're poor you're not now entitled to justice. Cameron and co. told people last week if they're truly faced with putting food on the table or heating the house up then "Put a jumper on." And on and on and on...

They're not bothered about hiding anything anymore, that's all

Maybe a little damp, but I'm just in Winnipeg - we had a tiny bit of flash flooding where the storm sewers couldn't handle the sudden downpour of an ocean from the sky - but all is well otherwise!

A quote I found in regards to this is:

This is Dean Evans at one of the world's most challenging race tracks at Bathurst in Australia. The conditions are a bit damp, and the other drivers are hesitant to get off the racing line and try the grip there. Dean isn't. He goes for it and the results are impressive.


He's a motoring journalist, and that brilliant footage was from 2005.

p.s. There is a pic on his magazine bio page if you're interested.
