    what things do you spend a silly big amount of money on?

    The new car would probably be a better use of your money than law school, these days.

    Brake checking that causes an accident= You could be liable?

    The legal system tends to take a dim view of deliberately doing something that you know may cause an accident, even if the other person is also doing something wrong.

    Why do borrowers tell lenders what race they are?

    In practice 10 of those houses probably accounted for 498 of those calls.

    Welp, took one for the "Am I crazy team"...picked up a used S600

    Wow, that's bold! Guess you taught them right if they didn't wrap it around a pole. I suppose that driving dad's car when he's in the passenger seat isn't the same thing as taking it on a night out with your friends...:D I'm amused that a trim piece for a six-figure German luxo-barge is...

    Synthetic/Mineral Oil given infrequent driving

    Same here. Less frequent driving makes me MORE likely to recommend synthetic. Not only is the price difference negligible in that case (since you're only changing the oil once a year or so), but the engine will be bone-dry each time it's started, and I'd want an oil that gets to the top end as...

    What will you do in your self-driving car?

    I don't like open pipes, but I like annoying bubble cars slowing everyone down even less. 24 in a 35 on a bright, sunny day? Death is too good for 'em!

    What's your opinion on towing with a Jeep Wrangler?

    Based on the commercials, modern trucks are built for hauling the Space Shuttle or open-pit mining, not actual real-person work.:D A minivan (plus a small utility trailer if needed) remains the most practical all-around vehicle on the planet. Hmm, maybe people would buy them if we fitted them...

    Drummers: Hearing protection help

    I had the opposite problem: in-ear foam plugs would move and stop attenuating properly on the motorcycle (usually when I was going 60 on the freeway and turned my head to check for traffic). Over-the-ear earmuffs while shooting or using power tools were always solid, and I found the...

    Your leak is only going to get worse as we continue to pollute the planet.

    SpaceX sticks the landing!

    Possibly the most important science breakthrough happened today (not really)

    Pretty sure? The Cubs winning the World Series wouldn't break the laws of physics as we know them, although it might break a lot of other things.:D

    SpaceX sticks the landing!

    Orbiter is a more full-fledged sim that's free. With everything that entails, of course--KSP will be more "fun" for most people.

    I thought 5'10" was tall for a guy!

    You can get away with it if you don't take it to a ridiculous extreme. Now, driving a lifted truck as a short guy? Nope, people gonna point and laugh wherever you go.

    Percentage of Gross Pay to Savings ?

    You get a stepped-up basis if you inherit stocks. Whatever the stock price was when you inherited, that's considered to be the price that you "paid" for them, and you only pay tax on gains above that.

    My wife left me on Sunday...

    Your aim can be dead-on, but if you're not a manlet there will be backsplash and droplet dispersal from the force of the stream hitting the water.

    Why is a year four seasons long?

    You live Beyond the Wall. Of COURSE your winters last longer. It's not like that everywhere.

    Job Interview - What to Wear?

    Seriously? Duct tape it to the wall if you have to, but don't do a job interview with your arm hanging off the side of the frame as if you're taking a selfie. Extremely unprofessional.

    Job Interview - What to Wear?

    Shirt and tie, with nothing below the waist.

    Airplane on a treadmill!

    The treadmill can only impart force to the bottom of the wheel. In order to impart torque on the wheel WITHOUT any translational component, there would have to be an equal force in the other direction somewhere in the system. If there isn't, the force imparted by a treadmill will produce both...

    Airplane on a treadmill!

    No, I never said that at all. I talked about rotational inertia. I said that in any "real-world" scenario, and as the problem is initially stated, the plane takes off. However, there is a method for you to prevent an airplane from taking off, given full control of a superpowered treadmill...

    When is the better time to buy a NEW car, end of December or end of January?

    We bought a Legacy in September of this year. Subaru is having trouble keeping up with demand, and so discounts are slim. We paid pretty much exactly what Truecar estimated.

    Airplane on a treadmill!

    If you don't know the difference between speed and acceleration, you probably shouldn't participate in physics threads. You even brought up a great example: the use of KERS to store energy otherwise dissipated in braking. Note that the vehicle must be accelerating or decelerating to transfer...

    Airplane on a treadmill!

    Speed doesn't matter, but acceleration does. A continuously accelerating wheel becomes a flywheel and stores the energy input by the force of the engines as inertia. Friction continuously bleeds away this energy. Infinity is a concept that is only achieved by those who oversimplify the...

    Airplane on a treadmill!

    That's not true. The wheels have mass, and the bearings have friction. Both of those can couple treadmill speed to airplane speed, leading to a takeoff failure, IF you make non-realistic assumptions. In any real-world scenario, the plane takes off, or the wheels get destroyed and the outcome...

    Sell street bike, get dirt + track bike?

    I had one. Too heavy (and top-heavy, at that) for it to be any fun at all at a dirt track. And not nearly powerful enough for a paved track. It was a surprisingly good freeway cruiser, though. $4-5k should be enough for a beater dirt bike and a beater supersport.

    Should I go see Star Wars in true 70mm IMAX? (Space and Rocket Center, Huntsville AL)

    Buy this or make your own. Sure, it sucks that you have to pay extra, but if those are your only options, who cares? I'm always surprised that the theaters haven't started showing EVERYTHING in 3D, but offering either "2D" or "3D" glasses to people, depending on whether they wanted to pay...

    ...

    Between the commute time and vacations, it's a MORE than 11% drop in hours worked, so it's actually a raise from what you currently make! I would take it in a heartbeat.

    Trivial things people should go to jail for

    You're supposed to grow out of the "eating hot dogs" phase around the same time. Why do you care if someone puts a children's condiment on their children's food? Sausages are the adult equivalent to hot dogs and are FAR more flavorful.

    Fireplace: Gas or Wood?

    My house has a gas stove and a gas furnace, and the highest my bills ever get are maybe $80/month in the winter. Mind you, the house is small and I keep that thermostat low, but natural gas is quite cheap.

    Sanity check? 2004 S600 $16k, XF supercharged $20k

    At least it wasn't the 4.2: Timing chain design that's a Euclidean nightmare, and being VAG they used crappy plastic guides and tensioners that break. So...major engine-out service for you!

    Fireplace: Gas or Wood?

    Gas. You will actually USE a gas fireplace, whereas wood will get used once a year at most. Either will up your insurance, of course.

    Mother needs a car battery

    It's a legitimate concern, but this is one area where any auto parts store will shine. They will load test the existing battery for free (confirming if it truly needs to be replaced), sell you a matching new one (straight off the shelf, with prices clearly posted), and replace it for free. For...

    How much does car color matter?

    They always look like fleet cars to me. I like dark blues and greens. More colorful than the generic white/black/silver, but more uncommon than red or yellow. Although red is absolutely gorgeous on the right sports car. BMW pulls off blue very well.

    Repair Transmission or Toss Honda Accord

    Odds are almost zero that you'll have to replace an original engine "down the road" in any car made within the last few decades. The body will rust to pieces well before the engine gives out. Even if you do, the used market on Honda engines is huge--plenty of imported Japanese engines as well...

    Repair Transmission or Toss Honda Accord

    Rebuilding a Honda engine with only 160k on it and no* problems? Madness. Those engines are insanely abuse-tolerant, and even if it finally dies you can get a low-mileage imported engine for under $1k all day long. *Well, I'm sure it has an oil leak. They ALL have an oil leak.

    Thinking about raising gangsters for fun and profit...

    But gangbanging is antisocial behavior, right? That's why they hand out ASBOs in the UK? What could be a better way to teach your children to be antisocial than homeschooling?

    Why is this generation at the peak of socially retarded?

    No. "Triggering" refers to an ordinarily innocuous thing that brings up a traumatic memory...e.g., a veteran is at Starbucks and the barista yells "Latte for FRANK!", and next thing you know he's back in 'Nam watching his friend Frank's head getting blown off. It's a perfectly legitimate term...

    Should I pay this parking ticket?

    Do you think that (123) 456-7890 constitutes a different phone number from 123-4567890? Because I doubt that the judge will. Only fight tickets that you can beat.

    ok for ghetto kids to go trick or treating in afluent neighborhoods?

    Considering that trick-or-treating ORIGINATED as a protection scheme, I'm not sure what the problem is. "Nice house you got there...be a shame if anything were to happen to it. Got any candy?"
