The good news is they won't be misled by their sat nave, but..... The basic car, engine, drive train is about that, the rest of the $35,000 is the comfort computers! |

Major fire on Long Island- Rockville Centre. A 12,000 gas tanker overturned into a building then burst into flames. Burning gasoline went into the sewer & is burning for blocks. PAPD is sending crash trucks from JFK. https://twitter.com/NYCFireWire/status/1493845459051462658 |

Maybe all those disaster movies were documentaries after all. Sounds like a perfect movie script. |

Is this not a good idea for ALL fossil fuels vehicles?... Including... The combustion engine Automobile? NTSB: Require small planes to have carbon monoxide detectors wrote: ... be equipped with carbon monoxide detectors, citing deadly crashes that were attributed to poisoning by the odorless gas. For the sake of the price of the three or four beers that you didn't drink before driving, a CO2 detector/alarm sounds like a very good idea in case your mechanic might have "missed something" on the engine exhaust... After all, you can't gain 'compensation' from the confines of the 'afterlife'... Stay safe folks!

Gary has provided a link to one of many crashes and near misses in which the pilot and or passengers have been affected by Carbon Monoxide. This really applies to small aircraft with air-cooled engines as many (all?) get the cabin heat air from a heat exchanger on the exhaust system (rather like those on ancient VW Beetles). A little bit of corrosion or seam damage and hot exhaust gases can enter the cabin and the silent killer gets to work :-( In these aircraft a Carbon Monoxide detection & alarm system would help, but I doubt that a certified system would be less than a few grand (but would probably be the same as the non-certified one you can buy "on the high street") Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Two major ship fires reported on the same day, both involving car transporters: Greek ferry: Hundreds evacuated from Olympia blaze off Corfu Coincidence, or a pattern? Why does an echo of the exploding laptop batteries of a few years ago sound in my mind? How many electric cars were on board these ships? |

All rather unusual. And unusually, Russia is promoting an 'unconventional' war... Is there a connection?... Stay safe folks! Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |
