how does airbag jacket know to inflate? like do you have a ripcord attached to the bike that pulls it when you fall off?

this would be hilarious when you inevitably forget to take it off after a ride and turn into a giant golf ball as you step away from the bike

this is basically a rite of passage yes

you definitely can purchase refills for them.

airbag jackets are extremely good and can save your life or keep you out of a wheelchair. its the next bit of bike gear i'm buying.

oh, i misread and thought this was something that did not already exist; that's actually really cool! one of my uncles is basically all titanium from ribs to knee after wrecking bikes multiple times, having a jacket like that might have saved him a lot of pain

Yeah you can even just get the airbag part as a vest to wear over your regular jacket.

This is how Jeff did the asset purchase of the sa forums btw

Not that it excuses Disney or fox but unfortunately this is very typical and often fucks over third party contractors where the seller stiffs them

They're not doing that though. They're actively selling his work and not paying him the royalties owed for new sales. Jeff just didn't buy the debts Lowtax ran up, if he was still publishing new articles for the front page and telling authors the bill is on Lowtax it would be more similar.

Seems like a possible corporate strategy. Buy a bunch of IPs, sell them to a shell corporation that can use them and not have to pay the royalties

thats kinda how hollywood accounting works, except they are selling licenses instead between the shell corporations for more than the profit so that there is no money left over for the creators

These little accelerometer boards are so cool, i loving love them. I built an antenna rotator that uses an Arduino down on the bench for compute power and then an accelerometer board bolted to the antenna that gives positioning feedback, chucked the serial data over a 100 foot CAT5 cable. After calibration they are ridiculously accurate, no moving parts, just wonderful.

fine. the next big autonomous car is going to use a battery of trained pigeons for control instead of ai and sensor arrays. it's designed so you just throw out the pigeon unit after the included food and water are consumed and replace it at a gas station. mass pigeon rearing becomes the new crypto mining. there's dumpsters of stinking dead pigeons everywhere
