A different set of forces would activate those to be sure. I know rollover forces deploy side airbags.

Again, it’s a cybertruck, so its poor craftsmanship is probably enough to blame.

I feel like I have to address the airbag situation. Airbags don’t deploy upon impact (at least not directly), but rather upon any significant deceleration. Anytime the vehicle decelerates enough that your body is thrown forward with force is when an [front] airbag would deploy. You know the thing where your seatbelt locks up as you’re braking? Same principle, but a higher threshold.

So the father back up your point, I cannot see how an e-scooter, sideswiping or even being hit head-on, could cause enough deceleration that would deploy the airbags.

Then again, it’s the cyber truck, so from a “safety” perspective who knows.

Here’s a scary thought, what if Elon fully follows Von Brauns career but in reverse?

Indeed it has 126mm spacing (and yes, is steel,) but my 11s hub slides in without too much squeezing.

Unless I’m misinformed, I don’t believe Mel Brooks was involved in The Princess Bride.

I simply cannot fathom that an event that should never be forgotten is forgotten by people who belong to the group it happened to.

That is, until they use it to deflect any criticism of their actions.

Like the overall premise of the post asks, it just didn’t click. For people who love it, I don’t think they’re wrong. I generally like the humor, and the cast is great– like legitimately great. But it might be the medieval setting that I seldom find interesting, or the magical/mystical things that I never do.

What movie is it for you? For me, The Princess Bride.

OK, let me ask more pointedly. For what reason did you choose to remove that one specific word? You didn’t just repost an article you saw, you saw the word likely and decided it didn’t belong. Why?

If it’s a “joke “I don’t get it.

For the record, I didn’t download the article. I don’t particularly care if the body of the article “clears it up “. You removed a key word and that changes the title. And you know it.

For shame, OP, removing a key word in the title. When you posted this, and as I type this reply, this legislation has passed the house but not the senate. Whether or not it will is yet to be seen, but the tax credit is not yet set to expire.
