An engineering question about this video

No other passenger car on Earth is made with a body this rigid.

The who evolution of car body construction has been to make the car sacrificial to the safety of the human occupants, other drivers, and pedestrians.

The car body absorbs impact energy so the humans inside don’t.

So what happens with the Cyber truck in a crash?

Resilience only goes so far.

Very hard materials tend to fail in a brittle manner under load.

So I suspect that this body will go from not being dented to catastrophic failure quickly.

That was one of the problems with the DeLorean stainless steel body.

I know else about this vehicle, I’m just a materials engineer asking questions.

They fundamentally don’t believe civilians should defend themselves

The Second Amendment is about the right of the people to have the weapon necessary to defend themselves.

As we’ve know for a long time, the Left does not believe in the right to personal defense.  They believe a monopoly of force belongs to the government.

They have resisted concealed carry, stand your ground, and other laws that protect the right of the people to self defense.

The believe this so strongly, they don’t want civilians to be able to protect themselves from genocidal terrorists.

US threatens to stop supplying rifles to Israel
Diplomatic spat prompted by social media images of minister handing guns to civilians

The US has threatened to stop supplying rifles to Israel after their national security minister was seen handing them out to civilians.

The diplomatic spat was prompted by images on social media of Itamar Ben-Gvir giving rifles to community security squads across the country, according to Israel’s daily Haaretz.

The images appeared to show Mr Ben-Gvir distributing the arms at political events in Bnei Brak and El’ad, two towns near Tel Aviv.

After several days of diplomatic exchanges, Israel committed to distributing the weapons only through its police or army, although politicians can be present when they are handed out.

A state department spokesperson said: “President [Joe] Biden directed his team to ensure Israel has what it needs to defend itself, consistent with international law, and we are actively providing additional security assistance to the Israeli Defence Forces.

I like Ben-Gvir.

‘Carry a Gun, It’s a Life-saver: Ben-Gvir and His Wife Boast of Dramatic Expansion in Israelis Carrying Weapons

Last week, the Knesset National Security Committee approved National Security Minister Ben-Gvir’s proposed amendments to gun license regulations so that the conditions for obtaining a license are more lenient, amid the ongoing combat in the south.

That’s good move.

He also bought 10,000 rifles for civilian security, which prompted the Biden Administration response and above article.

If Israel is going to arm civilians, the Biden Administration is going to stop that shit.

Now the Biden arms export bsn makes sense.  They wanted to pur in place a system they could use to squeeze Israel’s balls.

This anti-gun, Jew-hating sons-of-bitches.

 

Things are getting stupid

New York City:

Hateful teen shouts ‘I will kill you, Jew’ at 9-year-old boy at NYC playground

A hateful teen threatened a young boy with a knife and yelled “I will kill you, Jew” in the latest antisemitic attack in the Big Apple, police and law enforcement sources said.

The sickening scene unfolded at a playground at KIPP AMP Middle School and MS 354 Monday evening in Crown Heights, according to the NYPD and the victim’s mother, who said her daughter was also targeted in the attack.

Police and sources said the man also screamed “Heil Hitler” at the boy, but Sundroy, who was at the park with her six children, said that was actually directed at her daughter.

During the attack, several people also shouted “Allah Akbar” in front of the children, according to Sundroy and police sources.

The initial attack occurred shortly after the family arrived at the park around 6 p.m., according to Sundroy.

Cornell on high alert after hateful messages threaten to ‘slit the throats’ of Jewish students

Cornell University was put on high alert after a series of “horrendous, antisemitic” messages — including threats to rape and gun down Jewish students and even behead babies — were posted on a public forum, school officials said.

The upstate New York Ivy League school said campus cops were taking precautions — and had alerted the FBI to “a potential hate crime” just days after “F—k Israel” graffiti was also scrawled on campus sidewalks.

The “series of horrendous, antisemitic messages threatening violence” had specifically named 104 West, “the home of the Center for Jewish Living,” university president Martha Pollack said Sunday.

The vile threats were made throughout the weekend on Cornell’s Greekrank forums, which rank fraternity and sorority chapters, according to the student newspaper, the Cornell Sun.

One of the posts called for people to follow Jewish students home and slit their throats — while others called for female Jewish students to be raped and for Jewish babies to be beheaded in front of their parents.

This are getting stupid fast and it’s only going to be a short matter of time until ot goes from threats to violence, because the threats are not being dealt with seriously enough.

Three weeks

 

It took three weeks for the mask to completely fall off.

These campus protests started with Palestinian rights and are not openly calling for the extermination of Jews in Israel and everywhere else.

Where will we be in three more weeks?

Another social media prankster is going to find out

A few weeks ago, both Miguel and I covered the story of Tanner Cook.

Cook is a YouTuber who pulls pranks on people.

He harassed the wrong guy in a threatening way and was rewarded with a bullet to the chest.

His shooter was found not guilty.  As he should have been.

One would think that would signal to other social media pranksters that doing shit like that might be a bad idea.

Nope.

 

This punk got drawn on.

It gets worse that he decided to mouth off to the old man who, very kindly, gave him a verbal warning instead of just shooting his punk ass.

Dumping what appears to be gasoline on someone is absolutely a lethal threat.

It should (I would say “would,” but IANAL) be grounds for a justified shoot almost anywhere.

Chasing someone with a gas can threatening to douse them is definitely a lethal threat.

It doesn’t matter that it’s water.

If you try to rob someone with a rubber knife or Airsoft gun, the victim doesn’t have to determine that your threat is real before acting on the threat.

If this little shit gets ventilated, it’s his own fault.

I’m just glad these guys record it, it makes it easier to exonerate the shooters.
