Creating the Theme - Radiophonic Workshop - Doctor Who

ChaosEngine says...

Always loved the original theme.

Here's a great version of it, just using guitar effects pedals

Brilliantly Simple Rotary Wood Splitter

I'd have to see that bit in person to know for sure, but I'm guessing that scenario would be INCREDIBLY unlikely. The bit would have to hit bone immediately, in JUST the right way... I'd venture to say that would be nearly impossobile.

If it hit's flesh, you're yanking your hand out of there as hard and as fast as possible. Granted, you may leave some flesh behind, but it's not going to take your entire arm/hand.

But to help even further - put in a foot pedal that supplies power to the motor, making sure the moter is set up (however you can do this) to seize immediately when it loses power.

True, but one moment stupidly looking away and getting it started into your wrist, say goodbye to that entire arm. ;-)

I guess you need a lot of leg strength to press the brake pedal thousands of times in a race. Or is F1 like Mario Cart (where you never take your finger off the accelerator)? Probably it's like Mario Cart.

Ambulance Brake Pedal

Red Neck trucker says NO to this blonde trying to merge...

1. Watch before second 10, he's not closing (4 lines between him and the truck). Watch again starting at second 15, he starts closing. (down to under 3 lines between him and the truck, and less than one between him and the first car). Proof to me he sped up, since you can see the blue truck didn't slow down (passes the other truck at a constant rate).
2. He sped up like a car...brakes work better than acceleration on a semi., he should have gone with the larger pedal.
3. No, traffic ahead seems to go the same speed throughout. Traffic is clear ahead of them, and no brake lights from the truck.
4. Yes, you can hear it. Case closed IMO, and a concession of your point #one. He sped up, blocked the spot (illegal), and caused an accident he could have easily avoided (also illegal, right of way or not), therefore his fault.
5. Yes, definitely unsafe passing on the right. In Cali, it's also illegal to stay in the fast lane if someone is going faster than you..."Slower Traffic MUST Keep Right" signs are everywhere, just ignored....so a bit of a wash that, in this state. Truck and car were doing their thing both in the wrong lane by our rules.
Also important, the truck driver was distracted by being on the phone. Distracted driving is actionable everywhere, no matter what the phone laws in your state are.

I think truck's fault because....
First, the truck should not be in the fast lane, it's being passed by traffic, not passing traffic. He's too impatient.
Second, the truck intentionally speeds up to block the car. When it started the lane change, there was room. When you change lanes, you look sideways to be sure there's room, then you move over while looking forward. If someone speeds into the space and hits you from behind after you start the lane change, it's THEIR fault unless you slam on your brakes to make them hit you.
Third, the truck, trying to block the car, moves WAY too close to the next car, tailgating insanely. Watch the black car speed away terrified.
Fourth, the truck passes the car on the shoulder, them moves back into the lane slightly squashing it. The truck knew the car was there the whole time but just refused to brake.
Fifth, the truck was speeding. The truck speed limit is 10mph below the car speed limit on freeways, and the truck was going faster than the speeding cars, so almost certainly speeding by over 10mph.
Sixth, and indisputable, the trucker was on the phone, making him at fault as much as if he was drunk, no matter what he did driving.

As I see it, the car was less than safe, but the truck was an intentional dickhead that STARTED the film by driving badly, and ended with an accident he'll pay for. It's on film, he saw the car changing lanes and sped up to block it refusing to let her merge, passed it on the shoulder after it had passed him and entered the lane, and hit the car on purpose because he refused to hit his brakes/didn't want to be passed again. If I was on the jury, I would put it (EDIT)98% on the truck. He had every opportunity to avoid the accident by hitting the middle pedal just a little, but instead stood on the little pedal and seemingly thought to himself "Ramming speed!".

"Dogg" Snowplow Driver in Boston Blizzard

For some reason after the Dogg ten fours, I imagine cutting to a pterodactyl strapped to the front of the vehicle saying, "It's a living."

How barbaric! Well, he is a caveman pedaling with his feet.

His Slide Technique Could Use Some Work

Payback says...

Going frame by frame...

left arm grabs underneath him, sending upper body right,
on impact, left arm releases, right arm grabs, sending body left,
on impact, right arm releases, left arm grabs, sending body right,
on impact, left arm releases, right arm grabs, sending body left

It's like when you have the clutch on a manual transmission engaged, and hit the gas pedal, but the acceleration pulls you away from the pedal, which slows the car suddenly, which pushes you into the pedal, which makes the car accelerate, which pulls you away from the pedal...

Quick Quack Car Wash

oritteropo says...

There are two possible reasons. Firstly, they might just freeze. Secondly, if they actually think they're hitting the brake pedal, then the way to stop is to hit it harder, right? In either case, the car isn't doing what they expected and it takes time to work out why.

For a non-car example of someone just freezing up under pressure, see http://videosift.com/video/Accidental-take-off-of-Victor-Bob-Prothero-explains - the ground engineer drafted in to man the throttles didn't do so well under pressure.

I was quite sure I'd upvoted this already... oh well, upvoting now.

I don't understand how people can do something like this. I mean I can see potentially hitting the wrong pedal but why would you keep your foot on it after it is extremely apparent you are pressing the wrong one?
