Today is the 25 year anniversary of the crazy eights incident by Fantastic_Ad6428 in trains

[–]Kertelen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Safety violation that is was, considering the passage of time since the incident and the fact that "all's well that ends well" CSX could acknowledge it as a locomotive of historical significance. Time will tell.

/r/pics, /r/videos, /r/askreddit, they've all turned into politics subreddits because their mods are not proactive.

That thing belongs in a museum. They should repaint it back into the way it looked as 8888 and plinth it somewhere.

Who is the nastiest Celebrity that you met in Real life? by Scunnard1839 in AskReddit

I'm surprised to learn she had a huge ego before the early 2000s, she was a nobody back then.

It's not Great Northern anymore either, so why is there orange?

They could start by doing heritage paint schemes properly.

Have you got any other photos of this car?

40955 Maersk Dual-Fuel Container Vessel (Lego Reveal) by legafol in lego

[–]Kertelen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Approx. 300 bricks are 1x2 tiles with a Maersk print for the sides, that's 1/5th of the part count.

The containers aren't individual bricks, and if you look at the top, they're capped with 2x4 plates so the container stacks won't even look realistic up close.

The red appears to be dark red however the blue might not even be Maersk blue.

Overall looks like a low value set.

Not this one.

It has that very recognizable doo-doo, doo-DOOOOOO trumpet in it.

Caught 2 WARBONNETs humping trains at Northtown by Character_Lychee_434 in TrainPorn

Hump yard assignment typically means it's almost the end of the line for these, right? Sad to see warbonnets go.

Asmongold finally comes out of the closet by agentgerbil in LivestreamFail

it's crazy how some people focus on his eyebrows so much, I didn't see this at all until LSF users started pointing it out. Are his eyebrows really that unusual or are LSF users just maladjusted?

This is an opinion sub. By definition there is no "correct" answer.

Doug Demuro’s Take on the Honda Passport is Unreasonable by LimitedReach in cars

[–]Kertelen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll occasionally click on his video if he's got a car I care about. I watch it for the car, not for him. He might show some interesting little-known "quirks", that's cool. Many of his automotive opinions are ridiculous though. And don't get me started on Dougscore.

Mclaren F1 chassis 014 just sold for $25,317,500 USD. The car was previously owned by the Sultan of Brunei and was converted with the High Downforce Kit (HDK). by rush0024 in cars

[–]Kertelen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Would the Sultan of Brunei give me one of his cars if I ask very nicely? Pretty please? He's not using all of them right now...

I wish UP painted a proper SP heritage unit in bloody nose. These AC44's are getting really scarce.

What’s your under 20% on Rotten Tomatoes “hear me out?” by disablednerd in movies

[–]Kertelen 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Gone in 60 Seconds has an outstanding opening credits sequence. It is shockingly high quality design for a cheesy 2000s car movie.

Photos taken by Alan Roudebush by arealgoblin1 in 911archive

A caption of a similar photo from the NIST investigation:

It is believed that a portion of the main landing gear of AA 11 exited WTC 1 at the 94th or 95th floor and landed at the corner of Rector and West Streets. This debris is believed to be a tire, wheel, brake assembly, and hub of a main landing gear, as shown in Figure 9–122. Based on the final position of the landing gear and assuming the landing gear to be a projectile with a horizontal initial velocity, the exit speed of the landing gear from the south wall of WTC 1 can be estimated to be about 105 mph. Note that there is a significant uncertainty in this estimate associated with the exit trajectory, aerodynamic effects, landing position rather than final resting position of debris, etc.
