*promote Andy at his very best

Here's some backstory, and the coverage at Dangerous Minds.

The team have posted an extended version of the interview with Andy Cowell, where he says a few interesting things including that the current engine makes more than 750bhp, compared to about 200 odd for a similar capacity road car engine, and that the main focus of the new regulation engine is conversion efficiency which really wasn't a big consideration for the current v8 specification when they were designed.

This is why when riding a motorcycle it's safer to filter between lanes of slow moving or stationery traffic, rather than to sit stationery on the end of the queue.

That's entirely legal within the UK so long as it's done safely. I think in the US it varies from state to state, or is it just California where that's allowed?

I was riding through Germany early this year where filtering isn't allowed, and although for the most part the standard of driving was very good, the speeds are also very high (unlimited - often anywhere between 100 and 150mph). When hitting congestion I didn't half feel vulnerable without being allowed to filter. Wouldn't like to be hit on my bike like shown in this video.

Quite the androgynous Andy this cat, he'd make a better looking woman-
Uhhh, small-scale modular fusion reactors....DUUUDE. Frikkin' nuclear power.

It's guys like this so excited about the work and the science that scare the holy shit outta me. Nuclear power is going to end up being one of the biggest fuck-ups we ever decided to embrace....already is.

Love that diagram of the reactor under the house-Does anyone else immediately imagine ground water toxicity and the end of all mammalian life on earth?

'out of tolerances', 'dump tank' , drain the core....duuuuude!!

Put your nuclear dream into orbit or meta-galaxial and get excited about something else, please. (and his TEdtalk ends with the economic efficiency of it all....please.)

Holy shitballs, that is one of the funniest anti-roast roast sets I have ever heard!

Absolute brilliance, Andy!

Andy got it exactly right. Happiness is a gluttonous maw that will only close for a moment at a time to swallow whatever you've thrown into it. No matter how much goes into that bottomless pit, sooner or later it'll open again to demand more sacrifice. Happiness is is overrated. Happiness is the sarlacc pit of the soul.
Satisfaction is where it's at. Once you are content with your life, everything you have will be enough. It'll do and you will be fine.

How strange that these are the same length and they both make me happy.

Had a friend here in Texas who was a member of IATSE Local 729 (Motion Picture Set Painters & Sign Writers) whose biggest claim to fame was Andy Dufresne's cell in the Shawshank Redemption-She's gone now, but I'm wondering what she'd be doing now since digital technology has no-doubt changed the trade.
