Ak Gara posted:Are cars not coming with dedicated side indicator lights anymore? Those are pretty rare these days. I can't remember when I last saw one and I can see why you don't have them any more. They aren't sexy, another hole to cut, more wiring that adds complexity and costs. Easier just to make a hole bigger. So no, if you can't see the current blinkers it's poo poo design.

Aren't they all just on the side mirror enclosure now?

What is even happening here? Is he wearing a tinfoil covered pyramid on his head or something? Deteriorata posted:Just as an aside, Prest-o-lite was the first successful automobile headlight system, as a proper electric light hadn't been figured out yet. It was enormously profitable and one of the company's founders built the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I'm not aware of any problems due to the systems on the cars proper, but there were some spectacular explosions at the shops that were refilling the tanks. I thought that name sounded familiar. They had a big plant in Cleveland back in the 80s.

Whoever wrote that (and/or chose that font) is a real fuckstick, along with anyone else who was involved with the decision about the fire exit. therobit fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Apr 23, 2018 |

The best part is in the event of a fire, that sign might burn up, leaving everyone without a way to know where the "alternative exit" is!

Carbon dioxide posted:Wrong. If the balloons contain pure hydrogen they'd give a small pop and large fire whoosh, like you see in the video. As demonstrated masterfully in this chemistry lecture: https://archive.org/details/ucberkeley_webcast_7157ZAhN7gg The YouTube version seems to be gone; fun starts about 25 minutes in.

Last night I dreamed I had revolutionised warehouse work by combining Segways and forklifts. The Forkway, if you will. (Seglift sounds like a medical procedure) Something like this:  All the precision of a Segway* combined with the need to accurately control the forks somehow while balancing on a wobbling, moving platform. In my dream, the driver immediately went around a right angled turn at speed, flew off into shelving and hosed himself up. I'm prepared to accept venture capitalist donations. Even millions only, please. * ha

(Seglift sounds like a medical procedure) You mean something like this?  These things are electrically powered, accelerate and turn like crazy and go way too fast for the factory floors they're commonly used in. Also, I've never seen anyone use one of those without driving them like a maniac.
