Sure the plane masses 21 tonne, its weight would be in Newtons (~9.964 * the mass in kilograms) and would increase by a factor of however many Gs the plane is pulling during manoeuvres
But you know how words are used when you’re not being so very precise? The way you’re doing it isn’t it
The responsibility is also on drivers, they must give way to vulnerable road users, at least they are where I live
Shouldn’t people in cities be allowed to cross wherever they want? What’s so special about car drivers that they should have priority?
Russia unable to devote any military force to anything else while it tries to win in Ukraine
I wonder if you got hit because you were looking the wrong way, given the kiwis drive on the opposite side to what you’re used to - the driver should have been looking, of course
Regarding indicators - my town has a lot of roundabouts, we keep left and roundabouts are clockwise, so you indicate right to show you are going past the next exit, left to show you are exiting
While driving I have many times waited for a person who indicated that were not exiting, who then exit; or cut off a person who indicated they were exiting, but didn’t. It must be something like 1% of people indicate backwards
I luckily haven’t had any dangerous interactions with those people on my bicycle
I have had that happen, the beeped me for crossing a zebra crossing that they wished to drive over. I took that as along for a conversation so I stopped in front of them and said “what?”
I feel like that annoyed them
I live in Canberra, Australia. Eastern grey kangaroos are the car killers here. The main road connecting my cluster of suburbs and the city centre is 20km of 100km/h limit through bushland. I have stopped for kangaroos on it.
The people I know who hit kangaroos were driving fast without regard for them. I have heard that deer enter the road with less warning than 'roos, but surely you can recognise dangerous places and times of day?
That bar also looks designed to push its target down under the vehicle. I bet that performs super deadly in the crash tests it has never done
Drivers are warned that bull bars (commonly “roo bars” here) will make the car less safe by preventing correct deployment of airbags in a collision, yet people fit them. They also add steel tubes to carry four fishing rods, which emergency services people call “sausage makers” for their effect on vulnerable road users
It’s nice when stupid vehicles attack their owners rather than pedestrians and cyclists
They sort of are. Long hoods and large grills look powerful (like there’s a huge motor in there) so they compete to look tougher and more powerful
It’s too credible so I’ll whisper it (poverty)
If it weren’t fun there would be no humans
Perhaps we should be paid to fap so it does contribute to the GDP
THERAC-25 strikes me as a case of when programmers fuck up people get radiation poisoning
It was fine until “the adpocalypse”, when advertisers pulled their ads because they were being shown with offensive videos.
While YouTube has been trying to fix the problem the quality of the ads has reduced. So many advertisers now only go through sponsorship, which doesn’t give any share to YouTube.
The door lock failing should just disable the self cleaning mode
I don’t think cheesecake is difficult
Mix ingredients - how long? Until they are mixed. If a thing needs stirring for a length of time the recipe will tell you
Beef doesn’t go golden brown when you sear it
Golden brown is the colour of cooked wheat flour products - things toast to golden, they don’t sear to golden
It’s also the man a man fucks while in prison.
