It sounds to me like the guy is being a dick for show and that their end goal was just to trash the truck. There's nobody screaming at the end about 'oh my god my poor truck' or anything. I totally did want to punch the guy talking about 'better not scratch my truck' up to that point though

It's also one of those things where you have to think "Why would anyone be filming this unless it's deliberately set up?"

What the hell? No, the exact opposite. They where filming because they knew what was going to happen next and wanted it on camera.

I just realized it may not be the truck's owner filming, in which case you're right.

The kind of video I had in mind are the ones where someone is filming a perfectly everyday situation and then suddenly something random happens. Or maybe I'm underestimating the kind of mundane stuff that people will pull their phones out for?

So when was it determined that mass self driving cars are impossible with current technology? Genuinely curious.

Self driving cars are perfectly possible. There are technical challenges, but nothing insurmountable.

What's impossible is the belief that self driving cars are the solution to cities' traffic problems. The only solution to that is to make people less dependent on the car.

I love how everyone just flew by the seat of their pants in the early days of nuclear science.

In Wilder’s opinion, developing the bomb’s explosive component was greatly facilitated by using self-adhesive tape just about everywhere.

Duct tape. It was duct tape.

It was a "pressure vessel". I still don't know what the gently caress

Apparently it's a method for increasing the shelf life of fruit by pasteurizating it using extremely high pressure.

Seems good to me. It's constrained to one degree of rotation, is stable in both end positions and nobody's standing underneath it.

My maternal grandparents had a similar lift on their farm, though it was professionally built. Way cheaper than a traditional conveyer and takes no space when not in use.

Those are rifling marks in the copper driving bands near the base of the shell, which means this shell was fired. Which likely means the fuze is armed.

Neat! Thanks for looking it up. It didn't occur to me to do a reverse image search.

And those shells are made to punch through armored belts of hostile ships or ten-foot thick concrete walls of coastal forts before exploding, so they're extremely sturdy. The outer casing is probably an inch thick or more. If it splashed into the water and hit a soft sand bank it would barely scrape the paint as long as it didn't trigger the fuze.

The closest I ever got to being part of a serious accident was when I was behind some chucklefuck who slammed on the brakes from 120km/h (75 mph) because he spotted a speed trap, even though he was driving the speed limit.

I avoided rear ending him because I was keeping a good distance, but gently caress that guy.

I'm assuming that if the douchebag who parked in front of a hydrant or an emergency route tries to claim the damage on insurance, they'd likely get laughed out of the room.

Any insurance adjusters in the thread who can confirm?

While it sounds like a big number, that's less than 50% overpressure compared to what it needs to handle every single time under normal conditions.

That's definitely "modest" in relative terms. The safety margin should be way higher than that.

Especially since the safety margin should be on top of the "proof pressure" which is already 20% higher than normal design pressure. So for .50 BMG which has a design pressure of about 55k psi, the proof pressure would be about 66k psi. If it blew up at 85k psi that's less than 30% safety margin.

Normalize starting filming vertically, but rotate to horizontal once you start so everything is sideways and when someone flips their device to compensate, the video starts flipping, too.

Normalize a 1:1 video format so it doesn't matter which way you hold your phone.

I love how often military equipment is foiled by the competency of their operators.

That's why "mil-spec" doesn't mean "exceptionally good", it just means "built tough and/or simple enough that soldiers shouldn't be able to break it."

But they'll break it anyway because there's nothing more creatively destructive than a bored soldier.

Not necessarily bad, but dumb. If those aren't special outlets in a workshop they share the same breaker. So it won't double the amps/voltage/phases. To make this work you'd need one outlet to have 2 phases and one outlet on the third phase. This would be highly unusual.

We had an office party a few jobs ago where we hired a sound company to set up a pretty decent rig in our big assembly hall, and they needed at least a 20A fused circuit. In the area we were setting up we only had regular 10A fused outlets, so the sound guy asked for two outlets on separate circuits (fortunately they were well labeled), then hooked them up with a splitter cable like that, presumably to spread the load.
