Those reels are surprisingly heavy. I'm guessing speeding with no trailer brakes and when he mashed them that reel cart just kept on pushing.

Media consumption has destroyed modern people's sense of self preservation. Or is it "if it isn't safe they wouldn't let us do it"?

Unfortunately for tourists, the perspective of the Icelandic authorities has historically been "do dangerous poo poo entirely at your own risk, idiots".

This is probably a dumbass comment but if they are so concerned about how drivers pass and block each other why are they on the track at the same time? Shouldn't they do like, time trials? Would be much safer. :colbert:

It's less a safety thing and more a sport thing, to try and make the 'pinnacle of motorsport' not be like an open online Forza lobby

Yeah, it's this. It's pretty straightforward to make something in the far distance look huge, and looming close to something in the middle distance, as long as you can keep everything in a line. Basically you just stand way back and use a zoom lens.

The people watching the volcano at the railing aren't significantly closer than the photographer, I think.

No, more just an impressive feat at all of them (except for the youngest and newest guy) having a good enough eye from their work experience to gauge what six inches looks like just by sight. I don't think any of the other guys were off by more than 1/4", which is seriously pretty amazing.

I once played 40k vs. someone who fielded way more mortars than usual. They're usually pretty inaccurate, because you had to guess the range before firing. Very few people used them, even though they were cheap.

This dude was dropping rounds directly on individual models, like noscope-headshotting space marines from across the table. Turns out he was a contractor. He used his power to destroy me.

That's a wargaming skill you pick up sooner or later once you play enough games. The primary game I play nowadays is Infinity which uses 8 inch increments for a lot of things. One thing that doesn't are large templates used for weapons and it's a shock when your opponent can eyeball if troopers are within 10.5" of someone armed with a heavy flamethrower!

Apparently they've been pressured by the CPSC to issue a recall of, uh, everything they make.

IDK, sounds like several models will just get a firmware update.

The problem with these is that they need to accelerate/decelerate in order to tip you backward/forward. So if your motor is going 100% full power and you tip forward, oops there's no more power to tip you back, so I sure hope you like smacking into the ground lol.

I saw a similar video with hair dressers. Some were pretty close but others I wouldn't want anywhere near my hair (hypothetically, I have no hair).

First thing that comes to mind is VW and their Diesel engine vehicles that had to be repurchased from owners due to messing with emissions equipment. But I don’t think they had to go back for all time with all diesel vehicles. Just certain years.

All they're offering owners whose equipment is too old to upgrade is a $100 coupon towards the purchase of a new one. They still expect you to throw out the recalled one.

Yeah, it only included the years that detected the test conditions and went into a mode that would ace the test.

It's like an F1 rulebreaking scheme, but instead of lopsiding a few races, it screwed millions of owners

Edit: lol I forgot the way it was discovered as a European group looking for cleaner diesel was like, "Wow! How'd you do that?!", then turns out they didn't.
