I was just helping everyone understand that your important clarification, was in fact, wrong.

Since I wasn't on the jury, I can't say whether or not I would have been ok with the death penalty in this case, although the murder was particularly heinous.

"The next day, the police searched the Buick LeSabre and found the Post-Dispatch ruler and calculator belonging to Gayle. The police also recovered the laptop computer from Glenn Roberts. The laptop was identified as the one stolen from Gayle's residence."

I was just pointing out that meme style predates April 2023... I would be curious to see if it can explain why Dat Boi is funny though.

Who is the as-yet-undetermined party in the future? The "gift cards" are redeemable with Precision Track Day. A holder of the gift card can't just show up to a track and give them some gift card.

Not really, because you said they were on the East and you wanted to move them to the East. Correct answer would have been "Don't do anything". If this is how they're getting AI to "follow instructions", we're completely fucked.

The tagline of the site is "Why buildings are built the way they are."

And the author completely fails to mention the welding that goes into buildings...

You used to be able to go up the "mountain" and stand on the wall and look out over the water. Unfortunately, when they rebuilt it, they put gates at the road right off the highway.

I've got some bad news:

It's been done. It's a stupid idea.

Methanol has half the energy density of gasoline.

That's valid, there's certainly something going on with the video thing. I guess my current thinking is that trying to fake the video in the first place would be tremendously stupid. Then on top of that to do such a bad job. So maybe it was an accident in video editing. But yeah, it's possible they're completely full of shit.

So what exactly makes you think it's not possible for this car to achieve that speed? Do you think all of the publicly released stats are a lie?
MikeAmelung

So that leaves us with two possible reasons the car couldn't have achieved the speed they're claiming. One, it wasn't actually geared to go that fast. Or two, the driver lifted because the car was unstable or he was afraid the tires were gonna explode or something.

It seems unlikely that people capable of building a car like this would have released a claimed speed that their car was incapable of reaching due to gearing. Then again, I've seen a lot of stupid things in my time racing.

I don't know what the gearing looks like on this car, and I honestly don't care enough to look it up, but why do you and the article seem to think a car with 1750 (claimed) horsepower might be slower than one with 1160 (claimed) horsepower?

Can you explain a little more about the storage part of this? I see renewables and storage mentioned every time this topic comes up. It seems like we've got the solar panels and wind turbines figured out, but I'm skeptical on the storage part. I tried doing some research myself, but everything I find reads like a press release from a company that is attempting some kind of storage. As far as I can tell, there is no actual large-scale storage operating anywhere, other than pumped hydro, which we've known about for a long time, and can't be scaled unless we start building mountains.

I mentioned I'm skeptical, but I'm genuinely asking, because I've never seen anyone ask about it.

It is the way it is on purpose. The President of the United States is not meant to have so much power that everyone is all up in arms about it all the time. If anything needs to be evaluated, it's executive orders and whatever has happened to Congress.

You're 100% right, "the fucking flu" still holds the record for people killed in a pandemic by a long shot.
