There are also scanners that detect the identifiers being broadcast by your TPMS system.

Its not mandated here in Oklahoma of course, but a lot of people are starting to commute on scooters and e-bikes. I don’t know if this is because of gas being too expensive or cars being too expensive.

I used to have a snall truck with seperate high and low beam bulbs. I installed normal halogens for the low beams, and I did something similar. It was fun. And it helped me spot deer along dark highways.

I have an EV that predates the external white noise requirement, it’s weirdly quiet if the AC is off.

I love how quiet it is. But I wish it didn’t startle cyclists.

Edit: someone at work gave me a deck of cards and a clothespin and said it was a “loud exhaust” for my car. 😆

Ok, random internet person, whatever you say.

I heard that about boomers, gen X, and millenials.

One of my recently aquired hobbies is triggering guys with big diesel trucks by darting through traffic in my dorky little EV faster than they can keep up. “Yes, that’s a super cloud of black smoke, did that make you feel better little buddy?”

Sugar water sprayed on the forms and reinforcement before the concrete is poured would work better.

The bodyguard thing makes me wonder.

More and more of these guys will want protection. They will likely hire this protection. And as more protection is needed, vetting the people that provide that protection will become less strict.

And sooner or later, you have someone with a gun and a motive walking right beside Bob the Billionaire.

A quick visit to wikipedia gives me this lovely paragraph which makes me nervous:

The other main property of this unstable compound is it’s oxidizing power, although most experimental reactions have been conducted near -100 °C (173 K). Several experiments with the compound resulted in a series of fires and explosions. Some of the compounds that produced violent reactions with O₂F₂ include ethyl alcohol, methane, ammonia, and even water ice.

Flourine is really scary stuff. If we’re going to toss some FOOF at the concrete, we could also use ClF₃. Clorine Triflouride is another angry oxidizer that I’m pretty sure is hypergolic with sand of all things.

This right here is the answer. The possibility that the concrete cure was all or partially disrupted can mean the concrete has to go away and be re-poured.

Sugar water would have worked better.
