Lots more choices available. I'm suprised nobody else has chosen Massa though, is he really that much of a liability?

Oh OK, the same external dimensions, not exactly the same size (as quoted in the question). //edit: bum. MLTR.

How can they all be the same size, and weigh the same, and be made of different materials?

The blocks are more dense than the water (so they sink), so the weight of the blocks (when in the barge) has more displacement effect than the volume of the blocks (when in the tank). Water level falls.

Very good. Confused for a min there.

I started a project about 9 years ago that was a 3rd brake light, that lit up more the harder you were braking. It used an accelerometer so it could be aftermarket but I'm sure there are better ways to do it if it's built into the car. I know some German cars have the lights getting brighter during hard braking, but I think it's more intuitive to have more lights coming on, so for example you could have an LED strip across the top of the screen that if you decelerate AT ALL (using gears for example) you get the 2 middle LEDs lit up, then a bit of braking gets 4 LEDs. If you slam the anchors on full you get the whole lot lit up (and hazards flashing for good measure).

Depends on the density of the concrete compared to the water I would have thought?

I think I posted it on airgunbbs, but I can't get to it from work (blocked under category: weapons). Bum.

Aah, gone then.

Or the thing that was in the thread! It was the one with the blocks of some sort of metal, inside a ship, in a giant tank of water, and the blocks were dropped off the ship into the tank - questions was whether or not the water level rose in the tank. Thinking the thread was probably in OT and might have been pruned in the last purge.

Actually thinking about it green isn't a good choice, maybe they just need to flash a different way, maybe staying on constant, or 2 quick flash then long pause or something.

Oh and BTW, do you know Steve Bartlett? Or Vincent Wilson? Both work up there.

Make indicators that flash orange for the direction you're turning, and a dim green on the other side, so people pulling out of side roads for example you know which way they are turning (and you know they're not just sitting there without indicating). Not a difficult project mind you, the Engineering involved is easy.

I do!

Is the VVTi no good on a single? Is there no way of keeping the shifters and getting something like the BL auto box? I've got to get another Supra one day, and I'd quite like a newer VVTi Tip. Might just get a MKII Aristo though if going single isn't a simple option.

I think I'm due a dump. Oh sorry, you said bump.

Probably.

D'oh!

I don't think it was specifically cooked food, but we got a taste for yummy food after we first started cooking it, and that resulted in where we are now.

Prune bump.

Prune bump. I'm liking this reading old threads.

Prune bump. Goes nicely with the "What happens when you die? (serious question)" thread.

Prune bump. Also, anyone see Horizon? The idea that we evolved into homo-erectus (titter) because of eating meat and/or cooked food is quite interesting. Maybe it happened so fast that it explains the lack of a missing link!

It is, but that was linked to the Horizon thing, they were saying eating meat and cooking food is what caused our evolutionary jump, but the taste for cooked food is also what is now causing our obesity. So it is our responsibility but we're obviously not responsible enough so we might need some help to push us along.
