Some of their models are super accurate for aviation etc, and have PC connection so you can feed bolt torqure values back to your inspection reports. The planetary gearing reduction seems to mean you don’t need to lug around giant bars and mutlipliers. But what needs 11000 ftlbs?? Ships maybe?

They have a huge lineup of tools, some corded, some air, and then the battery lineup. Probably something for everyone.
I think at those torque levels the hit of impact doesn’t matter, because its not doing an impact to try to torque a resistive nut, there will be a bracket that touches the workpiece to resist the 11000 counter torque.

You would be correct

Not sure if we are talking the same thing. I meant the lenses specifications, not the trucks aesthetics and lighting options available per market. I.e. legally you can’t run NA lighting on European streets, and vice versa because of the reflectivity and angles of light allowed.

You can get 11000 ftlbs in a battery handheld. www.radtorque.com/products/b-rad-x/

The lighting specs to sell in USA vs EU are different. Same as the reflex lens side markers. Automakers produce two sets (or more) of front and rear lights for the same vehicle model. SAE and ECE if I recall the acronyms correctly

Higher is supposes to be fine if you re aim them for the standard cut off height/distance, but some of the factory ones (I think Nissan Rogue) are just absolutely blinding on normal factory height

For american ones where you have a screen on the inside I have seen crank handles to push window out, or some have a tiny screen door in the screen you can open to reach the window latches, then close the tiny access door. It looks stupid, but it does work

Static page reads from the webage serving folder and index file, you just ftp a new corrected version to the server. At least that’s how I updated mine way back.

Personally I don’t, I don’t have facebook, I’m degoogled, I self host my images on an immich server, etc. But we should nt be victim blaming, companies like meta should be accountable and develop better policies

No. You ate doing something legal in good faith and the other person is being devious.

The images drew 1000s new views to the instqgram page, 90% were men. I think we can say it was fed to men

2010 they changed privacy policy, even if I had everything locked down, that policy let them use my “friends” access level to glean data. Byebye facebook

Thats the same vibe as: Don’t drive your kids to school, you might get hit by a drunk driver. Meta will take any image, per previous claims, they don’t care if it was public or not
- Comment on How Nissan leveraged its driver assist to cut traffic jams 3 weeks ago:
Humans could do it too, but there is always this selfish asshole ruining it. We have that exiting Richmond Vancouver area. Everyone is doing 100km/h and there is no congestion ahead, but there is a merge in lane from an alternate route behind, so the asshole sees that as a way to get ahead before the merge in tapers off. So they pull out speed to end of lane, dart in dangerously and have to heavy brake to slow to traffic speed. The reduced space makes the car behind heavy brake and that processes backwards until traffic starts to halt. If asshole had stayed in the flow, there would be no stop on the had highway

You could just Google his comments or listen to his podcasts he promoted violence.
Charles Kirk, the recently killed hard-right Christian nationalist, had been “repeatedly making references to physically assaulting and even lynching trans people on his podcast, the Charlie Kirk Show”.
Sometimes he targeted his violence specifically against trans. Other times, he incited violence more broadly against LGBTQ along with other minority groups.

The company that makes the paint version of VantaBlack licensed it only to one guy to use, the art community felt that was unfair. Thus the pink, and I think a new black etc.etc.
- Comment on Fuck you in particular 3 weeks ago:
They sell it as a paint, however : “Controversy arose when Surrey Nanosystems granted Anish Kapoor exclusive rights to use Vantablack in artistic applications. Many artists voiced opposition to his monopoly over the substance.”
