Yeah, but if you want injuries incompatible with life then you either sign up to a linux kernel mailing list or bring out the firearms, controlled substances just don't carry that kind of guarantee.

there are ways to kill yourself that won't leave every single person that has to deal with it traumatized for life.

This might seem callous but, the dude had a terminal illness and picked his own way to go. I'd rather the painless and instant shotgun blast to the face over the very painful and drawn out terminal cancer.

Leaving a huge mess to clean up yeah isn't ideal. And he probably didn't tell his family or give them a chance to say goodbye or whatever so maybe his method was flawed but I can understand his intention.

tbf I'd assume the police have professional death cleaners or some poo poo, or at least have some way of dealing with it.

maybe they don't but perhaps he thought they did

No idea about in the civilized world, but in the great US of A there's a whole death/crime scene cleanup industry.

Leaving your grieving family to clean up after your messy suicide is a very on-brand thing for the police to do.

tuo posted:

Especially in regard to the porpoising, wouldn't a simulation of the suspension help to detect something like that before the car hits the track/testing? Or is the suspension actually not relevant towards this effect, and it is purely aerodynamics?
I think you'd need a totally different wind tunnel model with passive suspension to try and replicate this. You then need to construct it in such a way that the stiffness is smaller proportionally to the model.
It's likely all relevant!

ArmZ posted:

is this why porpoising seemed like a surprise or was that just the media latching onto something
It could well be - if you're actively controlling the suspension to a specific place it's probably not going to bounce much!

Sounds like he had a pretty dumb doctor, calling a lymphoma “inoperable.”

also i don’t think the power unit is the problem with mercedes (at least not the main one); they’ve been pretty consistently good at figuring out the clunky turbo-hybrid problem so if anything i imagine the field is just catching up to them in that regard. the car’s definitely lovely though and i think russell complained about porpoising in an interview

I would normally agree but ALL of the Mercedes cars are dogshit slow.
