I almost choked on my breakfast reading this. Thanks for making me laugh on this Monday morning. I needed it

It sounds like what I want is the OBD-2 device, but only I have access to the data

The dash cam is in the works, but I want as much evidence at my disposal as possible. That would include retrieving data from the vehicle blackbox with a time stamp.

I’ve never heard of it. How can I access the data?

I think it would be great if cars software could historize data such as speed, using turn signals, etc which can be used in court to prove/disprove if someone was in fact speeding or didn’t use their turn signal. Why haven’t companies moved this way yet?

I would be embarrassed if I was a woman and won the award because some committee determined that they needed to give the award to more women.

Why Americans make cars cheaper than Japanese? Are Japanese salaries much lower?

Vermont, unfortunately it’s hard to find the work I do in that state.

Hello, From what I understand, when you put your car from Drive to Park, you put stress on the transmission. I have been parking in the following order: Use Parking Brake -> Put car into neutral -> Put car into park. Is this the best way to preserve my vehicle's transmission? Or is there a...

Brilliant! So I’m not totally off base here. Just need to figure out how to get it on the plate that is sliding into the earth. My guess is the pressure is so high down there that the gas will stay dissolved in the mantle. Also need to make sure we don’t get back pressure pushing the flaming...

I get the density thing. Maybe we just have to push the garbage into the lava to get it under. Can I can get on a surfboard and go riding down lava and I won’t submerge into it?

Well in a landfill the trash is still physically present and piling up. In submerged lava the trash is reduced to ashes and the gas (hopefully) is trapped inside. So we would just have a growing island that has pockets of gas inside of it. It’s like a forest of trees holding CO2, it’s better...

If the trash is submerged into the lava, can the gases get trapped inside and once the lava hardens to a rock the greenhouse gases will just be trapped inside the rock? Kind of like a tree absorbing and storing CO2

I guess the difference is the volcano is already spewing out lava, and we don’t need to build an incinerator facility and burn additional gas just to burn the trash. The volcano is doing the work for us. How do we control emissions from a volcano right now?

With the news about the Hawaiian volcano eruption, it got me thinking: what if we just put our trash down an active volcano and let it incinerate? I know there is a logistical problem getting trash to lava / into a volcano, but would there be toxic emissions if we just threw our trash into...
