how... who.. what... Do you know what science is? Science has spent centuries... fighting in many cases religion in exactly this kind of situation. The entire point of modern science and the scientific method is to deal with the challenge of shifting for truth. If you'd say that the general...

Fine, nationalize any line paid for with federal grant, and charge these fuckers to sell service over them

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_explosion This is a real thing and most commonly occurs in industrial facilities like sugar plants or other locations that manufacturer powdered product or create byproduct like flour, sawdust, etc. I imagine friction and heat on a covered train car would be...

You realize that ChatGPT has no concept of fundamentals like... gravity, mass, forces, tensile strength, hydraulics, friction coefficients, gear ratios, and on and on right? It is literally a predictive language generator. One would be better off going to reddit for engineering advice, though...

Bethesda's updates to their own games are worse than useless, more actively harmful to most people still playing them. Fallout 4 in particular has horrendous 3rd person animation, reload, movement bugs that are literally game breaking, yet their 'next gen' update did... no bug fixes. There are...

Have you tried using the AMD Whisper mode in the Adrenaline software? I found when setting it to allow 40-60 fps, fan noise during gaming went down to near zero in a lot of cases. Doesn't work well in certain games, probably not great for intense FPS's, but for most games I play it's fine. For...

Removing Chevron means pretty much any small change or revision to the existing rules is up for a court challenge. Hell, it might not even be a change or revision, considering how litigious some of these issues are. It's a huge hit to the ability of our agencies to properly adapt to...

"I don't know what any of this is about, but by the letter of the law, it doesn't say so, so it must be fine" Let me put it to you another way. The Lead and Copper rule is not an innate part of the Safe Drinking Water Act. In fact, the congressional law as passed makes no mention of MCLs...

These fucking clowns

I mean, it looks almost as human as Stephen Ubl's photo on the front page.

The Chamber of Commerce is straight up a lobbying group. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Chamber_of_Commerce Their official sounding title gives them some credibility to people who don't realize, but I take anything they say as corpo-speak/industry grievance on par with Fox News

This^, this is very much the root issue in the States. If the roads were safe for commuting by bicycle, there's no reason these would even need to use the normal pedal bike/walking paths, but more often than not, riding at <20mph on even a 25mph limit road is asking for the next angry driver to...

And my point is, those kids and/or irresponsible people aren't going to care, like you already pointed out (yourself having been one of them) regardless of what they're riding? Any class 3 bike is a danger on a bike path at top speed. That's getting into a whole other topic of discussion though...

If that was mansplaining, I apologize, but I still disagree with your point, which is seemingly self contradictory. If people are giving their kids all sorts of dangerous toys, this $4k contraption seems the least of your worries. If you were doing donuts on an old RE rig, it seems you had the...

Have you? For a dual track vehicle with only one driven side, every action is different than a normal bicycle or motorcycle. Acceleration and braking cause inherent slews right or left. Countersteer and leaning on turns is no longer a thing. Taking any turn above 20 will likely cause skid or...

You're missing the point. We're talking about a vehicle that is inherently unstable, and likely not setup by manufacturer instruction to alleviate that. If you have a car where the front right wheel fell off, you can still probably reach highway speed. But would you want to? In terms of...

This might all be theoretically true, but you're still not considering the stability of the machine. Beth didn't mention how fast she actually dared go, but I'd hazard a guess that top realistic speed any sane person would try is probably 15-20 mph before the handling dynamics make them decide...

Article about wage/gender disparity "I graduated in a bad economy, so these women obviously weren't discriminated against" Huh??

I think the comparative weight of the bicycle side of this rig being much lighter than an actual motorcycle might make flying this car more difficult, but the sidecar being much smaller and narrower than a normal rig could cancel that out. The center of mass for the whole thing could be...

Don't know why the downvotes, this is correct. Turning toward the sidecar side will cause the vehicle to flip in the opposite direction, lifting the car. Turns away from the sidecar will force it into the ground, making it easier to slide the rear wheels or nosedive the car depending on geometry.
