police detaining a person for no reason

lantern53 says...

Well this is a very interesting video, because I'm trying to figure out wtf UTA stands for, I'm thinking it's Utah Transit Authority or something. So do they have a rule about not smoking on UTA property? That's got to be it.

I'm thinking these two male cops are thinking what a lot of male cops think, which is why the fuck did this little woman become a police officer.
But i got to cover her ass because she probably can't fight her way out of a wet paper bag. She probably needs to get into the DARE program so her biggest challenge is keeping 7 yr olds from putting boogers on her pantleg.

Of course, some women cops are pretty awesome, pretty fearless, and quite useful. Some, like I suspect this one, is pretty worthless.

I don't understand why they trespassed this guy from UTA property however. I just don't see how that's legal.

The whole interaction is quite irritating because I have to agree with the hoodie guy, nothing makes sense.

Which is fine as far as it goes, until he starts painting all cops are brainless gov't toads who sponge off the taxpayer etc etc etc. You lost me there, boss, because now you're insulting my avocation, in which I take a lot of pride.

Lemme give you an example of police work. Yesterday I helped a lady who had an auto accident, her brand new Mini Cooper got destroyed by some little juvenile driving a big ass Jeep Cherokee.

Today I assisted my Lt. with a neighbor complaint, some jerkoff who sounded like he had 18 Red Bulls for breakfast and wouldn't shut the fuck up had thrown a bunch of trash over a patio divider in an apt. complex because he thought his Latvian neighbor was making too much noise. Nobody got arrested, we were just there trying to resolve these two idiots from killing each other.

Then today I drove some old handicapped biddy 15 miles down the road so she could be with her husband who was having hip surgery. it took us a good 30 minutes to find out where the old codger was but we did it.

Two other officers responded to a family who called about their grown son who was off his meds and had a knife...we've been to this house dozens of times because the son is a fucking mental. I thought for sure this guy would get shot dead today, but turns out he was just arrested and transported to the PD for processing.

A couple of people got arrested for shoplifting, nobody got beat, they got a piece of paper with a court date on it.

etc etc etc

But no, this 'hispanic' dude has to jump to 15 conclusions about what ALL police officers do and it's total bullshit.

Dude, you're about as idiotic as these phony UTA cops.

How the next Mars Rover will land on Mars

kronosposeidon says...

Mostly from Wikipedia:

The mass of Curiosity is five times that of the rovers Spirit and Opportunity. It will weigh almost 2000 lbs (900 kg for you devil-metric people), and be the size of a Mini Cooper. An airbag drop would have been questionable for even half its weight in two separate pieces. And then what happens if the two pieces land so far apart that they can't reach other, due to difficult terrain or simply a long distance between the two parts (they don't anticipate Curiosity traveling more than 12 miles in its two year mission)? Also, creating two pieces to run separately long enough until they could link perfectly with each other presents its own design challenges.

The Curiosity also has ten times the weight of scientific equipment compared to the previous rovers, hence its large size. They plan on doing way more with Curiosity than previous rovers. It will also travel greater distances, and be able to handle the terrain better than the previous, smaller rovers.

If you really want to get your geek on then here is an 18-page "overview" of the Mars Science Laboratory entry, descent, and landing system.>> ^dag:

This was my thought exactly. I hope they pull it off, but from a layman's perspective this seems ripe for failure. I mentioned this a while back in a Wired thread - and asked why they messed with the success of the balloon method. The answer was that the rover is too big and heavy for the balloons.
They should have made it smaller then - or do two balloon ball drops and have them link up after landing.
Great CGI though. promote
>> ^waynef100:
dang, thats a lot of potential failures right there. what was wrong with the balloon method?

I tend to agree, the conditions you mentioned all played an affect on the mpg in question. If the mpg is correct, I'm not sure what kind of conditions they were under but I'm sure they were tightly controlled. Unreal and unexpected by today's driver in the multitude of conditions you see. My car (a Mini Cooper) does about 3-4mpg less during the winter season than the summer regardless of slower drive times, etc...

MINI Cooper? Same gas mileage as you get in your volvo and highest horsepower to weight ratio of anything you can afford.....Then put a Marine Corp bumper-sticker on the back, and wait for someone to heckle you......by the way, also a chick magnet-for when yer med-school gf trades you in for a doctor.....
