Preventing something like this:

Written nebulously to cancel environmental efforts, I’m sure.

Bundle of snakes for the intake? I had to look that one up. I figured it wasn’t a wax and shave for the engine bay. Good ECM choice, super customizable. Don’t stop looking. You never know when deals show up. I’m 2 years in and nowhere near finished, just got to keep waiting for the right prices. Better slow than never.

So would preventing “geoengineering” also prevent trying to stop climate change?

Does your dad sell timeshares?

I can assure you that the flight attendant group is much more than these two categories.

Rotating an apple was easy.

Then I tried putting a face on it. That didn’t work.

On a whim I searched for an image of an apple with a face on it, found one, and found it easy to rotate that imaginary apple and face.

I can imagine drawing a face on an apple, but find it harder to keep it in my brain if I rotate it.

I wonder if the brain has an easier time taking a “snapshot” of something you’ve taken in from eyesight and manipulating it rather than generating an internal image from scratch and holding that image while working with it.

The hammers will keep looking for nails.

Materials science and the ability to harness adequate energy to drive such a machine. IOW, lighter, stronger metals, durable metals, bearings, lubricants, tire materials, quality fuels, engine power which is dependent on all the aforementioned, and all of that tied to close tolerance mass manufacturing.

We really take for granted how fast and precise manufacturing has become.

Even simple things we don’t think of. For instance - Cars from the ‘80s and before had interior materials that sustained UV damage and you’d end up a with fading, cracked dash, cracking seats, etc. Windshields would crack super easy from a rock chip. Now? The vast majority of car interiors remain in very good condition other than usage wear. I’ve taken multiple rock hits on windshields with many different cars and had zero cracks.

Materials science is amazing.

The mental gymnastics these people engage in to completely ignore how fascists work is mind numbing.

Yep. Same set that probably lets their kid die because they refuse vaccines of any kind or medical treatment when ill.

There’s not much worse as a kid in a learning environment, or even with your parent(s), to be shut down painfully for being right about something that they don’t know or don’t think you know. Really crushes the satisfaction of nailing a win and turns it into bitterness and starts the lifelong process of keeping your mouth shut when you’re right and letting others win when wrong.

Straight six for the indestructible win.

All whopping 90 hp of it. My first car was 85 hp, so I had to admire the 90 hp Chevy II.

Personally I don’t care for the trend that is RGB EvReyWhERe!!1!1! MoRe!1!1! Especially in what amounts to pretty normal cases. Just a box with a bunch of bolt on lights and fans. Yay?

I far more admire a computer where someone has taken the time to actually invest some customization that took skill. Bending watercool hard tubing around a hand made or modified case. Lights are fine for accent or drama, but not as a misrepresentation of uniqueness or effort.

Gotta love that the battery is the same size as most of the visible engine.

Ok man.

The part where you made a serious comment about a completely ridiculous fictional premise that was never intended to be serious.

What?
