Thanks for the confirmation. Most brake lines are usually rubber, too, and they'd probably expand if constant pressure were applied to them, and all of a sudden, your car is rolling down the hill.
Yes, all the wheels have disk brakes, actuated by normal hydraulic brake lines. Behind the brake rotor you have the smaller drum brake system. This system is actuated by the cable connected to the parking/emergency brake lever. It isn't hydraulic, and is separate from the main brake system.

Cable with "10" pointed to it is what comes off the parking brake lever. The part pointed to by "11" is the drum brake assembly. I haven't looked through too many service manuals to know if it's common, but just like with hydraulic jacks, you probably don't want to exert pressure on the system for prolonged periods of time since you may lose pressure or put pressure on the hydraulics, so a drum brake might make sense.
For the parking brake? Yeah. You don't need a lot of power to keep the car stationary, especially if you also leave it in gear. Now, can you cite a source that shows most cars use their disk brakes for parking brakes?
And I like your use of the term 'rice.' What does it mean exactly to you? Because my stock Evo barely looks different than an older Accord.
That's all true, but are you still being flooded with fight or flight signals at minute 8 of your high speed excursion? I think that the police officer cited had time to call 911. One would think your judgment would settle down after a minute and begin to think rationally.
The emergency brakes are usually small drum brakes. They'd probably fry before you got much use out of them. And they are probably fairly weak, only needing to stop your car from starting to roll.
Pulling out the key doesn't disconnect your battery. Your electronic door locks still work, you can still turn on the overhead lamp, and your clock doesn't lose time. And I would wager, though don't know for a fact, that your airbag sensors are still operational.
He's simply pointing out that shutting off the engine is an option, and that it won't lock your steering due to the loss of power steering, which is only required at rest or slow speeds; you will retain control of a car if it's engine is shut off.
Deaths from terrorism can be easily attributed to something. Car fatalities probably happen in much larger numbers due to things other than unintended acceleration. Things like violating someone's right of way, lack of maintenance, being under an influence, driving an SUV like it's a sports car and suing because it overturns. I'd wager most of these are attributable to human error, but new license testing and training is laughable in the US and the outrage is that the government is forcing systems onto manufacturers that don't address the real issues.
What you say has been argued back and forth for years now. eInk is what it is. And it's up to the maker of the screen, not Amazon, to improve it. eInk isn't an LCD, so if you want to watch movies, you don't buy an eInk reader. It really can't be simpler than that. If you want to flip around large page format documents, a 6" eInk likely isn't for you.
As for PDF, it really depends on the document. Text-only ones can reflow nicely on Sony's reader. You can use PDF authoring software to crop the pages. You can use the reader in landscape mode. And use any combination of the aforementioned.
It's the same debate in everything, even motorcycling. I like to commute in the city, but would also like to go on long trips. A touring bike with luggage is nice for the trip, but a small displacement "naked" bike is better for the city. So you either have one of each for each style of riding you do, or you compromise, you get a "jack of all trades," and you try to work around the shortcomings.
And yet there are hordes of people that prefer eInk for long reading than LCD, especially with more and more people staring at LCDs for 10 hours a day at work. There are also a number of other benefits of eInk over tablets, but the great thing is that people have that choice, and a light for their reader will just make their device of choice that much more usable to them.

Got a link? I doubt this is true. The touch tech they use has nothing to do with the eInk screen and I doubt they wouldn't use Pearl. Maybe you're thinking of Sony's first touch attempts that used a layer on top of eInk.
I don't understand the resistance to something like this. What if you're on an overnight flight and don't want to use the overhead light because everyone else is asleep. What if your subway lights go out (as they sometimes do in NYC).
What will eInk people complain about next, electric light bulbs? Kerosene lamps were fine, and your horse drawn carriage got 12 paces to a fart and no one complained?
What child thinks about peganism when they think of Holloween? Not one. All they see is candy and costumes. It's their parents that are making these silly objection. When society is out of problems, it invents new ones.
If that's the complaint, then good thing the teacher didn't read Ender's Shadow, with its visions of a naked kid crawling around in the station's ventilation system. That would warrant at least 25 to.
At least you'll get an answer. Last time I reached out to our reseller, the sales guy was supposed to verify with his team, and never got back to me. That was after 4 email exchanges and a phone conversation.
Should have put those sarcasm tags. Was thinking of all the people saying no one needs a pickup or an SUV a while back, and that everyone should take public transportation.
But is that proof that those are desirable jobs? Hoe many of those people don't know what working there is like. Or they might hear stories, but they think they're stronger and can handle it better than others. Or current workers there tell them it's great a) to have company or b) because there is some incentive program for them to do so, or another impetus from the employer.
Not saying any of the above exists, just saying that the applicant numbers shouldn't be the sole metric used.
Hmm, I was going to post a jocular response, but then remembered that these are real people with parents and siblings committing suicide that we're joking about.

I guess my 2003 Lancer Evolution is a Matchbox car.

Resident pedant, everyone. Give him a round of applause.

That question should be posited to Supernintendo Chalmers, as it is unpossible for any of us to answer.

Deserves moderation.
If that's the complaint, then good thing the teacher didn't read Ender's Shadow, with its visions of a naked kid crawling around in the station's ventilation system. That would warrant at least 25 to.
Don't you realize? The actual exploit is in getting people to comment and list all the extensions that were missed, getting the list from the source.

But, honestly, no one needs an SUV or a pickup truck. Let's agree on that.

Couldn't they just take these scans from multiple angles? If this guy had to turn 90 degrees, that metal box would have shown up.
