LMAO that is amazing. I mean it’s not funny, I feel sorry for the poor passengers who were terrified, but that timing….the coincidence is just hilarious.

Imagine that someone has that job. They make and present that chart in meetings. That person exists and is why we can’t have nice things.
You seem nice. Anyway, a crumple zone is assumed to be designed in such a way that it protects the occupants of the vehicle.
No one said it didn’t “crumple” on impact. The problem is that it doesn’t sufficiently crumple in such a way that it dissipates the energy effectively.
In this case, the vehicle’s occupants are still traveling at a decent rate of speed and the material of the vehicle is thick enough so they could potentially sustain head injuries. Other vehicles do not have a similar concern.
Hope your day gets better. Cheers.
This makes a lot of sense and helps me to make sense of it all. Thank you.
The only surprising thing is that it took this long.
I have a question about this and I hope I’m able to ask it correctly the way it’s sitting in my head.
I know throughout history there have been strongmen who come to power, promise the world, and don’t deliver.
I also know about propaganda and its role in the above scenario.
My question is - if these images are seen by enough people who truly believe what they say - and they’re poor, maybe older, not in a great place overall, etc, and they voted Trump because they believe this…shit….what happens when they don’t deliver?
If they’re expecting homes and help and a magic, simple solution to all of their problems that never delivers, what happens not only to them psychologically, but also what bigger impact will their reactions have on the country as a whole?
In the US, I’m not so optimistic we’ll have that moment given the past 8 or so years. There will never be a realization that the Emperor has no clothes but the help will still never arrive. How long can that be sustained, and what happens when it can’t?
I hope that made sense and I apologize if it doesn’t.
I bet Trump didn’t even ask…Elon just let him do it.
He was bragging about the stainless steel being made to withstand bullets and we do live in a large city in the US in a state with basically no gun control, so I told him I could potentially see that coming in useful during rush hour on the freeways.
He had a story for why it was shaped the way it was, the windows are angled at the most aerodynamically possible angle because that’s important for a car that will probably spend 50% of its life stuck at a red light.
He’s obviously drank the kool aid. When I got back to the office I told my current coworkers, and a couple of interns said that car is super dangerous because it basically has no crumple zones. Then they pulled up some YT videos showing tests proving it.
The best part? We’re all engineers. The interns knew about the crumple zone thing. The senior Elon fanboy was just impressed with the window angle and bulletproof doors. I didn’t ask who he voted for, but I can guess.
I ran into a former coworker (we still work at the same place, just different groups now) at a work thing recently and he told me I had to see his new car.
It was this. I told him it was ugly. He tried to show me all the bells and whistles. I told him I was glad he liked it, but it was still ugly.
He said yeah…that’s what my wife says too. She hates it.
lol
Right!!!! I just saw, too!
Looks like Voyager just added it - we spoke it into existence!

It’s easy to say “holy shit I agree with MTG”, but the tinfoil hat on my head is telling me she’s for it because she knows nothing will be done against her team, regardless of what is uncovered.
They don’t give a fuck about hypocrisy. So the dirt on the libs will be aired and used as an excuse to justify prosecuting them.
