PhazonLink posted:so its sort of like Speed but the limit is somewhere < 10mph?(also there's no bomb , etc etc) This was over 8 years ago, but I think the deal was if you were in gear (it was a manual) it killed the engine at a complete stop. If you were out of gear/neutral it was as soon as it goes below 5mph or something like that. I mean sooner or later, whether it's 500 feet or 2 miles a potential thief is going to meet one of those criteria.

Signal boosters are separate electronics that cost upwards of $800 (they’re only cheap if you build them yourself from parts) and require knowledge to use that average smash-and-grab thieves don’t have. There's still a sizable number of vehicles in the EU stolen either via key reflection (if it's parked outside a house) or increasingly via OBD II port attacks. In England cameras have caught some thieves making off with Range Rovers in 23 seconds or less. While it does require a slightly more sophisticated thief (or rather, criminal gang running the thieves) it is by no means uncommon, particularly in the EU where it is a lot easier/cheaper to transfer cars to Eastern Europe/Middle East with forged papers and re-register them. You can even buy physically key'd lock boxes for the OBD port for many popular vehicles these days, for the sole purpose of adding another step for the typical grab and go thief.

At least it hit those powerlines and hopefully got those people some hefty fines instead of flying into the sky, falling to the ground, and getting tangled around some poor bird.

PHIZ KALIFA posted:Is there a single, SINGLE advantage keyless fobs have over normal loving keys, holy poo poo? Like, what could POSSIBLY outweigh the "hacking cars with phones, like they used to do in the movies, is possible now" risk. I pulled my backup hunk of metal out of my fob and locked the rest of the fob in my trunk. I didn't want to risk dunking the delicate electronics in the fob in saltwater. When I got back to my car, unlocked it, and pulled the trunk release lever, my car accused me of gently caressing it. The main advantage of keyless fobs is the increased return on investment on your taxicab medallions, your uber and lyft stocks, and your 24hr emergency locksmith business.

I just throw my keys under the seat, lock the door, and then use the 5 digit code to unlock my vehicle when I've returned from the beach. My keys are also ~50% smaller than those giant combined fobs I've seen (at least, the Jeep ones). Technology

madeintaipei posted:Brandon, FL is a bedroom community/suburb of Tampa. When the toll roads came in from Tampa, big and small business lobbied to have the on/off ramps only extend as far as the mall on the main drag (almost in between the two cities). While the local businesses didn't see a drop in buisiness while construction was on-going, the horrible bottle-necks going in to and out of Brandon created a situation where no one wanted to gently caress with traffic just to spend money after work. This strangled a lot of the very buisinesses who wanted things that way juuuust long enough to make 'em sell cheap right before the traffic problems got mostly fixed. Whoops, kinda hosed everyone there. It took a new state law to allow THCEA to finally extend the Selmon to the Gandy Bridge, and eventually across the bay to Pinellas Park on the St. Pete side. Gandy Bridge will be getting a set of expansion toll lanes when the eastbound span comes up for rebuild, after the Howard Frankland gets its new eastbound span with toll lanes. These will lead all the way over to US19, which itself is expected to get toll lanes that link in with the new toll lanes on the Bayside and McMullen Booth, and the new toll lanes on I-4, I-75 and I-275. Did I mention new toll lanes? Toll lanes.

Varance posted:Umm... I live in Brandon, and know all the planners that worked on the Selmon Expressway. Was an issue of land cost and NIMBY from the honeowners between Kings Ave and Valrico Rd that killed the project. That, and FDOT not liking a non-Florida’s Turnpike entity running a toll road. Good looking out! I didn't know the whole story. Coincidentally, my commute now is from PP to Town'n'Country and once a week across the Gandy bridge. I anticipate some OSHA-thread driving conditions when all that construction gets finished, people seem to be obeying the rules going up 118th for now.

Maybe they were worried the suit would balloon up if it weren't rigid.

The idea was that the astronaut could pull his arms into the body of the suit. It was meant for extended operations on the lunar surface and I guess they expected a regular space suit would be uncomfortable.
