Exploitative leaders incite intergroup warfare in a social mammal
Female banded mongooses lead their groups into fights then try to mate with enemy males in the chaos of battle.

Designer of the BMW mini mutilates an F40 "for the modern era" or some bollocks
Awful scenes

Christ, the state of that. I liked what he did with the McLaren P1, but the F40 is iconic and what he's done with it there is turn it into a goddamned dumpster fire.
Edit: I keep coming back to this video and finding new things I hate. That wing is a mess. But the biggest thing I hate so far is deleting what he calls the gills (youtu.be/_v5dzFzUvqw?t=1218). They are one of the elements I love the most on the F40 and are a direct evolution from the three exit vents on the 288 GTO that this car is based on (also the prettiest Ferrari ever built), which has them as a direct call-back to the original 250 GTO. You've got design lineage there to the most iconic Ferrari of all time, and you're binning it.

What. A. Mess.
The F40 is perhaps the finest example of a car that is purely focussed on performance. As he says in the video, there is nothing on there that is superfluous. Every element is focussed on that objective.
To take the doors for example, in order to save weight and to get the mass distribution as low as possible it was famously shipped with no internal door handles, and with plexiglass sliding hatches instead of wind-down windows. To take a design that had gone to those lengths and hang giant gull-wing doors on it, with all the weight and mechanical complexity involved in that, is to completely discard the whole purpose of the car.
To take the ducts as another example, they were placed and shaped as they were as that was the most efficient way to get air to where it needed to be. They’re not sculptural elements, they’re the bare essentials required.

A vaccine. Light at the end of the tunnel.
Of course, caution is required. This isn't the end but it might be the end of the beginning, or something. It'll be at least a few months.

Light
But this won’t be the vaccine that you and I get due to some rather problematic handling requirements:
From the BBC:
“There are also massive manufacturing and logistical challenges in immunising huge numbers of people, as the vaccine has to be kept in ultra-cold storage at below minus 80C.”

We can handle that
See freezer farms.
I mean, sure, it's a logistics thing.
Not a showstopper though.
It's fine.
The major concerns are;
a) Are there side-effects?
Probably nothing much, and so far, no. There's no reason to think there will be - but eh, caution. c/f thalidomide.
It was a relatively small trial, over a very short time.
b) Does it work for a long time?
We don't know. It was tested over a week.
Other similar vaccines tend to provide immunity for months or years; some need a "booster". We won't know that until months/years have passed.

We *can* handle it
But it puts the cost per dose way up. This will get rolled out to the NHS and frontline services. The general population is far more likely to receive one of the other vaccines that will be far easier to handle.

Don't worry about the -80C cold chain.
The vaccine can be safely stored at -20C (in the realms of a normal freezer) for shortish periods of time, and needs to be defrosted before injection anyway.
The -80C cold chain will only be needed for the backbone of storage and delivery to hubs. A standard cold chain infrastructure will do for the spokes to vaccination points.

why wasn't the road simply lowered by 2'4"?
wouldn't that have been cheaper and safer?
(, Mon 9 Nov 2020, 4:24, Reply)
I don't think so.
It'd be a huge job, because even assuming that there're no pipes or anything under the road to accommodate, you'd have to manage the gradient on both sides, and redesign the intersecting roads. It'd take weeks, during which time traffic would have to go somewhere else.
Raising the railway isn't a small thing, but in comparison, it's likely to be much more straightforward. Disruptive, yes; but not nearly as disruptive, and much simpler by comparison.

Also by excavating that much material, you're probably going to be undermining the foundations of the bridge.
Raising the bridge will have been fearsomely expensive, so someone somewhere will have done the cost/benefit analysis on all the options before that was chosen as the best one. Or they could listen to some random internet person asking "well why don't they just..."
