Titanium is a bitch to machine, even now. I don't know who told you it's 'soft'. BTW you don't machine steel when hardened. You machine it mild and buttery, harden it, then finish it with EDM (Electronic Discharge Machining, pleasant sounds next to Electronic Dance Music), abrasives or carbide.
It's a bitch to cast too. Needs to be done in an inert environment.
IIRC they finished it with CNC abrasive passes (again pleasant sounds vs Disco).
Back in the 70s the only way to mill titanium was with carbide tools. Which are so hard they are brittle and are spendy. It would cost a lot less today, but it would still be expensive.
Why would anybody pay to use this service when they can just pay to use/borrow someones cell and Skype? Even better, use a video chat service that works.
The car already runs around making sparks. Also I'm an EE, the power supply is off the shelf, just the talking to the connector parts needs to be hacked up.
Moving in general, can be a tricky proposition if you are dealing with real asshole cops. Even worse when the reason you 'have to move' is the local asshole cop knows your face. Local gauntlet to run or not, everybody should know there are asshole cops on every freeway getting rich stealing stuff.
Especially tricky if someone is an obvious hippy. The cops know they get attached to paraphernalia. Stop any stoners u-haul and you will likely find a bong or three and a box of pipes.
Across town, just make a special trip in the car. Across the country, give it all away and buy new when you get where you're going.
I've seen people moving in with stacks of grow lights in the bed of their pickup. CA is just different, mostly because the cops know they can't find juries to convict for anything less than 1000 plants AND run by Mexican gangs.
On that. The F14's main structural box was titanium, a single casting. Machining it to final dimensions had 7 figure tooling costs (that's just the cost of used up cutters, fancy side cutting 'drill bits'). Insanely strong and expensive. Specifically to make the structure handle carrier ops. The F-14 lasted much longer than most carrier based airplanes.
Cracks in those boxes, more or less, ended the program. The fatigue life of the airframe is always limited. Late in their lives the crew has to disassemble and inspect much more often than when they are new. You can't just design to 'handle those stresses'. Aluminum doesn't work that way, at all. Titanium is better, but nether are mild steel. Made of steel, the planes wouldn't get off the ground.
Legally, it's an easement for a few specific purposes, traffic, and basically plumbing.
You bet your ass they aren't using it for any other purpose. As I mentioned, I pissed on the yellow lines at the property line, it's mine.
These easements are settled, if someone came to the county with a plan to stir this up they would find themselves bouncing down the courthouse steps on their asses. The scumbags (local politicians) know they wouldn't just get voted out, they would get tarred, feathered and run out of town on a rail.
And this is CA, albeit a relatively sensible part.
Yeah, try that attitude at the tow lot. See how well it works for you. As soon as they hook it up, they have a mechanics lien, having invested work in the vehicle (fuck spelling though).
If the owner thinks that the car was towed illegally they can sue whoever called in the tow order. They will lose if the car came from someones private property. In a public accommodation (lot) they require a tow notice, where again, they will lose.
This isn't the first time some ass decided to plunk a vehicle down somewhere and say 'fuck you'. It's all well trodden law. As is the original case of a pirate fruit stand on private property.

Q: Do you know why CalTrans uniform shirts have the pocket on upside down?
A: It to hold the end of a shovel. So they can sleep standing up.
Q: What's orange and sleeps 6?
A: CalTrans van.
If you see that happen, run. All is not well with the PHBs and, as usual, they are full of shit.
So how did this study control for the demographic differences between pot use reporting populations and not?
They didn't? What a surprise. Worthless study. Richer people were much less likely to admit it, especially historically.
You need to double check the definition of 'scientific evidence'. It doesn't mean: 'Things I agree with.'

Safe, absolutely. What are your qualifications to judge?
Legal, depends. I don't know of any jurisdiction that gives charger spots and e cars any legal priority, like a cripple spot.
Personally, I think the simple solution is put the charges in the far away parking spots. Not right next to the door.

How far will it scale? Watts/area limits?
Can I make disposable lasers (for my sharks) with a 5 gallon bucket of this goo?
Help me out, so I don't have to RTFA.

Just need an X,Y table and a Z toilet seat.
Perhaps a special diet.
They're still the good ones. Little pricey for my home shop though.
0.01% Hydrazine.
It needs the name 'corrected' by good people with paint, at every port of call.
Think of as Rick Rolling the royal navy.
Because aluminum has really shitty metal fatigue characteristics.
The redesigned airplane would carry more weight in structure than it was saving in fuel and would have a much shorter service life.
You'll note the Air Force doesn't do the catapult launch thing. And they are flying fighter jets.
We're limited by DRAM bandwidth and have been for _decades_.
Funny how the performance increase is in line with DRAM performance changes.
Car analogy: it doesn't matter what kind of engine you have, if you're sucking through an asthmatic intake.
The endocrine system contains a highly complex system of feedback mechanisms to regulate hormone levels.
So is an economy. But I don't think they will produce the same results.
It's not like they are right next to major oil fields where natural gas is currently flared off at prodigious rates.
I suspect they will be getting at least some of the first 'solar' power that is generated at night.

I think I saw it on Nova. 8% of the price of an airplane is real money.
Always better to ask forgiveness than permission.
Kerosene? I'm curious, where do you live?
Are you sure it's not fuel oil?
I've said it before: In Minnesota the Rs are Ds and the Ds are flat out communists.
Just park your normal car at the charging spot and tuck the charger into the gas door.
If they get pissy, you can build a circuit to charge your cars 12V battery. So it's actually taking a charge.
