The town of Point Roberts Washington, just south of Vancouver, BC, as well as the not exactly populated Northwest Angle, in Minnesota, both American exclaves.

The only overland routes from America to either location require crossing two borders.

Similarly, I find this to be a prime example of how borders are really, meant to be broken down. The only ones that truly care are xenophobes et al, politicians and corporations.

That's nothing compared to the sandfire storms that occur around The Forge on Vulcan.

Some routers will auto-switch to a 10. subnet (from the typical 192.) when there is either mishap with the router config/collision, or possibly repeat disconnect from the ISP. Some folks set this by design. Google can tell you the intricacies.

I won't *say* I've ever done something like this. However, it's incredible how many local coffee shops/independent establishments just do not change the default config of a router. I'm genuinely dismayed how this utility, appliance and overall service continues to confound people.

Your privacy isn't that, folks, just be careful!

Dare I say, ya'll missing the point. It's a getaway movie staring a 2006 Subaru WRX. Not an Austin, not an Audi, not a Jag. The folks acting take a back seat. Pretentious this is not, fun it is.

More boxer engine notes!

Yep, the name comes from Dakar, Senegal (In Africa), when the race, the Dakar Rally, was originally ran from Paris to Dakar. It's now held in South America, yet retains the legacy name.

These are specially built off road vehicles, Kamaz is the manufacturer in this example. Like many races, there are different classes of trucks that compete in the Rally, alongside dirt bikes, quads and cars.

It's basically Mad Max and I encourage folks to check out highlights of it, or the similar Baja 1000 race.

Interestingly, the truck class includes support trucks that don't actually compete, but assist competitors stranded in the middle of nowhere.

This Red Bull sponsored Monster (energy drinks!) has right around 1000hp and a 265 gallon fuel tank if I recall correctly. Road trip!

Look at that positive camber! It's like Mickey Mouse up front. The stance kids these days are doing it wrong.

Urge to comment rising...

All news and no beer makes Mookal something, something...

Reductio ad ridiculum

Propagating an "Us and Them" mentality with an appeal to extremes is no better than the extremes themselves . Expressing an opinion doesn't necessitate picking a team to root for/against.

"Los Angeles rideshare looking for third, available immediately."

A Bootlegger is similar, but a little different. Wherein a Bootlegger starts with the vehicle moving forward and ending the opposite direction, a J-turn starts with the vehicle moving in reverse and ending opposite.

Granted there are lots of terms thrown around for these maneuvers.

My rational was that it must take some serious skill to think it was a good idea (sarcasm). Happy to remove the tag if out of place.

Side note, watching again I noticed after the rollover that not only was the bass dropped with the sub flying out, but looks like a gun flies out alongside it? Range Rover + subwoofer + gun = instant cred?

So many questions...

I'll throw my hat into the internet justice ring for funsies.

I'm guessing the "pro cyclist" folks that view this have never lived in a location with:

1.) A city that spends millions of tax revenue on shared roads, road diets and special lanes for cyclists
2.) A large population of self righteous, passive aggressive cyclists that ignore road warnings, laws or common sense
3.) Or had their vehicle leaned on, mirrors folded in, kicked/punched or spat on while sitting at a traffic crossing

As a cyclist and motorist, I'm glad they got soaked.

Toyota's 2018 marketing slogan:
"I wouldn't be caught dead driving a new Toyota"

Most vehicle side windows are made of tempered glass, compared to the laminated glass of the windscreen. The windshield is designed to "hold" its pieces upon severe impact due to the lamination process (a layer of plastic material sandwiched between two layers of glass) whereas the tempered side windows will shatter into small relatively harmless globules. Tempered glass is used due to it being roughly 4x the strength of non tempered glass, and cheaper to produce than laminated.

Most automotive side glass is typically between 3-6mm thick, depending on the region of origin, eg Europe, Japan, USA etc. That said, calculating the compression, tensile and sheer strength a particular window can sustain is not exactly simple. However as a simple baseline, a 2ftx2ftx5mm sheet of tempered glass, with supports 2ft apart can support roughly 160lbs of sustained weight. In the case of automotive design, window frame support, distance of supports, curvature etc will change the properties and strength of the glass.

Long story short, with the vehicles window fully rolled into the frame, that lion would need hundreds of pounds of force directed at a single point to reach the shatter point. Granted, I've never arm wrestled a lion, so maybe those folks were just a can of Vienna Sausage ready to open anyway. Best not to mess with the king.
