`Nemesis posted:It is very literally not an emergency brake. It is neither designed for or intended to be used in an emergency and would almost always be the worst choice you could make if faced with brake failure. It's an emergency brake (or in some cases used to be) in the sense that it is an independent braking system that doesn't depend on the engine. Some European (maybe all, maybe elsewhere too) require two independent braking systems each working on at least two wheels, where at least one system is purely mechanical, and the parking brake serves as the secondary system, and has to be able to bring the car to a halt. (Some?) modern cars have two independent braking systems built into the regular brake. So it very literally is an emergency brake even though its primary purpose is for parking.

Leave the car in gear to park. Use the emergency break for emergencies.

ilmucche posted:Big thing now seems to be no more lever anyway. It's a button or foot operated for the parking brake. Foot-operated levers for the parking brake are about 100 years old. Having a center-console lever is a thing that only started to happen once bucket seats became a thing. Gear shifts used to be on the steering column, too.

At least in the US it hasn't been called an "ebrake" or "emergency brake" for decades. The Parking Brake isn't typically strong enough to do much in a real emergency. They were called emergency brakes when the primary breaking system was more prone to failure but modern brakes have built-in redundancies already. I mean I might still use it in an emergency I suppose. Biggest use I've seen for them while driving is slowing yourself down for a speed trap without your brake lights coming on

The Bloop posted:...slowing yourself down for a speed trap without your brake lights coming on The last time I checked my break-lights still come on when I crank the e-brake. Might just be a peculiarity of the make/model though, since I've never thought to check any of my previous vehicles.

BOOTY-ADE posted:Sounds like 99 percent of the population needs to pay attention to where things are in their car, maybe even have more stringent driver's ed training Again, the emergency brake locks your tires. Even if you were to activate it as soon as you realize your regular brakes have failed (and assuming your brake is a lever rather than a button or automatic setting), you're just going to skid out of control into the obstacle. You're literally suggesting we train everyone to become a professional stunt driver.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:Some turbonerd being salty his epic amazon prime simulator game of drinking monster energy drinks and delivering packages lost to a game where people actually do stuff like fight and whatnot. Look, I'm not going to argue about who won what, but this is a really reductive take on Death Stranding and also emphasizes the idea that a good game *has* to be about fighting or conflict. One of the best things about DS is that you can go hours without getting into a fight, that the rewards for fighting are minimal, and the narrative is structured to encourage you to seek out non-lethal options when conflict appears inevitable. Sekiro was also great, but just because it has cool stealth kill moves and loving sick parries doesn't inherently make it a better game. Unless you were being sarcastic, I can't tell anymore. Anyway watch this professional gamer worth hundreds of millions of US dollars demonstrate his very complete mastery of slicing bread, avocados, and oranges. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h36wfqcg9A

Epicurious does a series like that where they take random people and ask them to do a culinary task that isn't immediately obvious, like cracking open a coconut or making a Martini without instruction. The results tend to vary from "messy" to "dangerous." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDwbpJDt2-0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GexnUyuc4ps

I have successfully used the parking brake to keep me out of an accident in an emergency Was pulling in to park parallel at like 1-2mph and brake line disconnected from the pedal, parking brake kept me from gently dinging another car. I might have been able to set it in neutral and stuck my feet through the rusted out footwell and legitimately flintstoned it too. E-brake is poor nomenclature

I had a 1984 LeBaron that I'd inherited from my grandfather - which was solid as a loving rock and has under 10k miles on it when I got it in the late 90's. Anyway one winter I started having issues with the throttle. Basically, the gas pedal would stick in the winter and I'd need to warm the car up for a long while before going anywhere. This was fine when I had time but one morning I was in a hurry, and started driving before the throttle was all the way thawed out. I stomped on the gas in an effort to get moving. Well that was a terrible idea. Suddenly the throttle is stuck all the way open and my car is accelerating down my street towards a house at a surprisingly breakneck pace for a 1984 LeBaron. I try the brake but it's fighting hard and the gas is stronger than the brakes and still moving forward. So I threw the car in neutral, it immediately redlined, and I turned the gas off without making GBS threads myself. Not once during that entire process did I consider the emergency brake.
