My Toyota had the unintended acceleration issue. I made my way to the dealership with a lot of early upshifts to 5th, shutting off the engine, and banging the pedal with my foot.
After about 15 minutes the mechanic and the manager came in to the waiting room trying very hard not to laugh. They held up my floor mat and pointed out how the frayed edge of it was tangling up in the gas pedal. One new floor mat and I was on my way:)
commercial pilot here: This is BS. The cabin pressure is set the way it is because it costs money, range, and fuel to make the airplane stronger and thus able to be pressurized to sea level at cruise altitudes.
The data connections on my boat use opto-isolators to keep any receiver of the GPS data from corrupting it or loading down the transmitter until the signal drops too low to be read. The LED-photo transistor pair is completely incapable of sending data two directions.
That is $15/hr. I hope no one thinks paying that for any kuind of critical security infrastructure is a good idea. They could be bribed with things like free movie tickets or a Big Mac.
If you spend any time abroad in any other democracy, you will find what the USA right thinks of as a screaming raving commie socialist marxist lunatic would be center or center-right anywhere else.
I get the idea of it. In a perfect world it would be kind of helpful.
In real life it is barely one step ahead of writing "Call Jane for a good time" in the bathroom.
Some professional victimologist who believes any rape claim unless the Pope and the President BOTH swear you were with them at the time AND you can prove your dick fell off last month. Otherwise, expcet to see it in the school paper.

Of all places on the planet, a college is the LAST place I would expect this information to stay private ROFLMAO. Can you imagine how much fun it will be when your name gets leaked as having 312 rape complaints AND a record of a police interview for sex crimes?
The frat at UVA sure had some fun clearing their name of an obviously made up rape claim.
You are NOT sending an airplane to a different airport messing with the ILS. Making the large assumption you can send a false signal without the receiver on the other end just popping up an errror flag from 2 competing signals, you can make the plane go too far left - right - up -down in relation to the desired path to the runway and thus make it miss the runway and perhaps crash. Depending on what equipment was on the airplane, it would be more or less obvious to the pilot. If you are backing up the ILS with a GPS derrived glideslope it would be fairly obvious. You would have to be fairly close to the airport to do this. At least one airplane was wrecked with way in WW II by the Germans sneaking a transmitter near an airfield.
Can I suggest we hostfile her computer so just about anything goes to a Barney The Dinosaur archive page or something. She will be happy and so will we.
Peat bogs are the start of plants > coal. I am pretty sure we can make more in a billion years or so;)
In several sci-fi books, future people marvel that petroleum was once burned as fuel. In a few hundred years apparently it is vastly more valuable as a feedstock for organic chemical processes than as - horrors - just burning it LOL.
So..I'll find myself in a nursing home one day with no idea how I got there, my car will be sold, my pr0n erased, and my wife partying it up with the pool boy? I can see some surprises in store when they fire this up.
A story I think I have heard more than once:
Reporter pretends to be nuts to get inside story in the asylum. All staff are fooled, but none of the patients are.
Just got back from a trip to downtown Philadelphia. I ahd to get around parts of a wrecked car, a stalled truck, and then run a light that was on permanent red - after waiting for the other 20 people ahead of me to realize it was never going to change and do likewise. So how is Mr RoboCar going to do THAT? How long would it wait for a green light? Would it crash into a fender in the road or stop for a McDs bag?
We made do as an isolated militarily insignificant power from 1918 to 1941. In early December we learned how bad an idea that was. Policy from 1945 onwards has been to NEVER look so weak as to draw an attack.
I know a whole bunch of people around the world wish the USA would be Canada - Southen Section, but that all changes when shit hits the fan and someone needs their ass saved (again).

Things that do not need passports: drills saws computers scewdrivers Things that do: people
You mean the largest economy in the history of the world can't be managed a few people making $50K/yr? What - are you some kind of SOCIALIST

I am a commercial pilot and the term "dog tailing" is a new one for me. Also I would *very much* notice an uncommanded change in engine power.

Because NO ONE would ever think about getting all their friends to turn the same guy in that they are pissed at.

This person is apparently unaware of racing that isn't at the salt flats. There are entire classes of racing cars that don't go 150 even.
FYI ABS brakes were available in Europe for years before the USA *for just that reason*
Insects understanding language? I doubt it. I tell them to get the f**k away from me all the time and do they listen............no they do NOT!

Fossil fuels ARE renewable! The process that made them once can make them again. Renewable in my lifetime - not so much.

FYI it is utter bollocks because it if makes to the CENTER of the planet, that is where it would STAY.

I would have driven about 200 MPH through the middle of a nursery school when I was 16. My "day fine" would have been about $5! YEEHAWWW!!!
