There's no such thing as combined speed. Unless one car keeps going unimpeded, a head on collision with both cars going 40mph is the same as hitting a wall at 40mph.

No, not really. For one thing, different cars have different masses. And two cars each traveling at 40mph towards each other will each have their own mass and acceleration to bring to the party.

Think of it this way - if you're going 40mph and someone rear ends you doing 41mph, that person is not experiencing the same force as if they hit a brick wall at 40mph, are they?

And white supremacy, apparently.

We never had a smoke detector problem when we rented, but when we lived in Lexington our rental house there had been wired by ADT many years before, but not with service for at least a decade. About every six months there would be a brownout or something at 3am that set off the alarm, at high volume, and almost no way to shut it off. Can�t even remember how we finally disabled it.

You may have missed my very first sentence where I stated that it is wired into the alarm system. This requires one to both turn off the mains power to the building alarm and disassemble the secret control box hidden behind the spiders in the attic, whilst the alarm blares.

That was similar to the ADT burglar alarm we dealt with, iirc

During the storm yesterday a power line fell down and cut power to the neighborhood. Then the line itself caught on fire in the street while waiting for pepco to show up then the street caught on fire.

Fire dept showed up 5 mins after it happened but couldn't do anything because the wire was still live.

When they finally shut off the power the fire dept had to chop a hole in the road to chase the fire.

The line was down 3 houses up from us and even while inside you could hear the electricity making noise.

One of the best things about living in SW is that all our power lines are buried. I hope you get service back before too long, this heat is brutal with no AC.

In total it was about 6 hours for them to get the neighborhood powered back up.

There's a gnarly pot hole repair over the hole they had to chop in the road that will probably quickly fail and remain a problem judging on how normal pot holes are treated around here.

If it�s Pepco you might be OK. They just dug up most of 4th St SW and a couple of weeks ago came back and repaved the street, and even put in new concrete sidewalks which they�d previously torn up. I was shocked!

I once did a track day where we drove a variety of cars but the craziest by far were the Ariel Atoms and it was trying to stop the car spinning out under breaking that was the only really scary thing.

Sure, but an Atom is light and has way more power than grip. An F1 car has slick tires and aero, and well-set up, it shouldn�t be on the verge of binning it every time you use the left pedal. But remember, F1 drivers are a LOT better than you are at trail-braking. Plus they can tweak things like brake bias which can help solve problems like that.

Tesla is still ahead of everyone else when it comes to range efficiency, which seems to be the main electric car benchmark anyone cares about. The Koreans aren�t far behind, as is GM. Of course, those companies can all build cars where the rear seats are attached and they don�t hide their recalls and warranty costs, which is why even though they build tens of millions of vehicles each year neither are worth as much as a company that struggles to build 350k cars a year.

from nukemap, a 1.2kt surface burst centered on the warehouse. the orange circle is the expected diameter of the fireball and the red is the area of "total destruction", which correspond pretty closely with what we saw in the videos and photos of the aftermath.

the gray ring shows where the blast overpressure would have fallen to 10kPa, which from what I can find is about where you'd expect a 50% chance of ruptured eardrums.

It�s unlikely the explosion was 1.2kt; 240-300 tons is probably a more reasonable estimate.
