I have been summoned! Detroit (my home) justly suffers! Justly! for the sins our ancestors unleashed on the world. To this day a legion of engineers are hard at work in what should be a swamp, bringing about yet more evil. If there were any justice, it would be the first place to be cleansed by nuclear armageddon. Woe to it, and woe to us.

I think of em like dinosaurs, big ol brontosauri that everyone scoots around on like Fred Flintstone at work. It's appropriate to the scale of their metabolism, hell they'd be way bigger than dinosaurs. If they actually produced solid waste they'd never have got off the ground, imagine a world where your car shits, what an idea

hot cocoa on the couch posted:there's also nothing inherently wrong with cars, they do not think or feel, and are not responsible for their design or future. they are just machines. their basic existence is not at odds with a ecologically responsible future, at least, no more than 95%+ of other machines. placing hatred onto cars is completely misguided. it is, as usual, the fault of humans for organizing a society around their mandatory usage that has caused them to proliferate to obscene levels, and a civil design doctrine based on maximum accommodation for them that has created the blight of parking lots, super highways and the dreaded suburb All transit is evil but cars are the most wicked of all God's creations. Their metabolism is completely disproportionate to their size and they reproduce far too quickly, we won't be safe until they're all dead.

I was biking along in a park outside Orlando, coming back from the trails and going over a little road bridge to the parking lot. I watched the fancy white convertible in front of me (top open!) thwack one of the old ladies walking on the right of the bridge across the back of her elbow with it's passenger mirror. She cried out audibly as her arm shot up in the air and the car punched it and drove away. I dunno man maybe she had it coming.

lobster shirt posted:its basically impossible to have a good cycling city in the US because american drivers are insane and the mere sight of a cyclist causes a substantial number of drivers to become homicidal I watched this morning as a man on a bicycle, clearly going to work somewhere with his toolbag and 5 gallon bucket pannier, turned left onto a four lane avenue, crossed over and proceeded to the next right turn maybe 40 meters further. In that space of time, the light turned green for traffic on the avenue and the giant black Dodge Ram next to me in the far right lane slammed on the gas as hard as possible, overtook the biker, only moving left enough for the driver's side tires to touch the lane divider line. Biker got sprayed with slush. THEY loving SLOWED DOWN AFTER THEY WERE DONE. Accelerating normally, I caught up to them after maybe 20-30 seconds and rolled down the passenger window to make sure they saw me giving them the finger. Middle aged white guy, probably same age as the guy on the bike. I wish I had had a paintball gun.

IAMKOREA posted:I've heard this so many times and would love to hear an explanation of why because fourth power is some crazy poo poo that almost never happens, only other example I can think of is like black box radiation. Drag/resistance through a fluid medium invoking a fourth power with speed is another, and to my understanding is comparable physics to road damage - a moving vehicle creates a tiny wave in the road, a heavier vehicle produces a larger wave. The damage comes from the solid road resisting the 'liquid' action of the wave. The energy content (and thus damage) of the wave scales with both speed and vehicle mass, but we don't do high road speeds the same way we do high masses.

AnimeIsTrash posted:Yeah but we're not in the 800s anymore. A highway is being constructed to give access to some of the most remote Bolivian villages. This will give people in some of the most remote parts of Bolivia access to things like a big hospital. Is this a project that should not be undertaken? Lmao "a highway is being constructed to give access to some of the most remote Bolivian villages" "Whom this access benefits and the ultimate direction of the flow of ROI on this project will not be discussed, but you are still bad for questioning it."
