Probably going to hell for laughing at this:

 

 

Yet another reason I have a bro-crush on Elon Musk:

 

 

I just mocked Samuel L. Jackson in public:





If I don't live to see tomorrow, tell the world that I have no regrets.

That may well be the largest pecker on earth.

Makes me feel like a Bond villain sometimes.

 

Can you see russia from your house?

 

No, but I can see Michigan from the tower. Same basic concept; it's cold, and the food is confusing yet bland.

 

Kind of surprised no one has posted this already. It's pretty ******* ridiculous. So fast that it looks like the video is on fast-forward.

 

I just did some mental gymnastics on some of the longer-duration braking evolutions in that video and reviewed an official spec page for the 919... it'll brake from 150-0mph in 400ft, peaking at over 4 g's... which is better than the decel force of an arrested carrier landing.

 

Damn! As impressive as that is, it looks like F1 cars can still exceed that by a good bit.

From Wiki:

An average F1 car can decelerate from 100 to 0 km/h (62 to 0 mph) in about 15 meters (48 ft), compared with a 2009 BMW M3, which needs 31 meters (102 ft). When braking from higher speeds, aerodynamic downforce enables tremendous deceleration: 4.5 G's to 5.0 G's (44 to 49 m/s2), and up to 5.5 G's (54 m/s2) at the high-speed circuits such as the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve (Canadian GP) and the Autodromo Nazionale Monza (Italian GP). This contrasts with 1.0 G's to 1.5 G's (10 to 15 m/s2) for the best sports cars (the Bugatti Veyron is claimed to be able to brake at 1.3 g). An F1 car can brake from 200 km/h (124 mph) to a complete stop in just 2.9 seconds, using only 65 metres (213 ft).

 

^^^ That kind of reminded me of Tron's lightcycles, only with fewer 90 degree turns. Impressive.

Regrets, I've had a few:

 

Looks good to me.
