A nuclear engineer raised in the big city miles from the nearest farm, rebuilt and modified a superb corral of classic Cub Cadet tractors, and garnered 5.5 million views on YouTube
“The components were rugged, and that’s why they’re still in use today,” Smith describes. “They have a differential transmission that’s equal to an automobile transmission in terms of its size and construction. They’re not built like a lawnmower. As opposed to lawn tractors, Cub Cadets were called garden tractors, and the name tells the true difference.”
“In about 2010, I started buying and restoring tractors. I got on the internet and saw a lot of modified Cub Cadets, and I got really interested in a guy who built a motor grader. By that point, the internet had reached the place where you could get all the DIY needed to learn. I kinda dove in. I’d taken wood and metal shop class in high school, but now I could watch videos of guys cutting metal and welding, and copy what I saw.”
a 12-year-old from outside Nashville, Tennessee, invented the "EZ Baby Saver," in hopes that it would help parents remember that they've left their children strapped in a car seat. The contraption won him a runner-up prize of $500 at the Rubber Band Contest for Young Inventors.
Dozens of children die every year after being left in an automobile –- and one 12-year-old Tennessee boy did his part to end that.
A federal judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit accusing United Airlines of charging passengers for window seats that lacked actual windows. A passenger said they were charged extra for a window that didn't exist.
A California judge denied United Airlines' request to dismiss a class-action lawsuit filed against the airline last year by a passenger alleging that the airline knowingly charged them extra for a window seat that didn’t actually have a window.
United defines a window seat to mean a location relative to the aisle and not a literal seat next to a window, according to the court filing.
However the judge said the passenger’s claims are plausible as the airline's booking page and boarding pass identify the seats as window seats, and United’s contract of carriage incorporates the “terms and conditions printed on or in any ticket.”

A massive F1 fan, Clarkson has entertained multiple drivers at his farm, with Piastri featuring in the most recent series of Clarkson's Farm
Jeremy refers to Alpine as the 'Chipping Norton Formula 1 team', with the outfit and the farm based within a close proximity of each other.
Alpine has a strong relationship with Clarkson, with the TV personality previously supplying copious amounts of beer to aid the celebrations after podiums in the 2023 Monaco and 2024 Brazilian grands prix.

Traffic cameras around New York City have caught James Giovansanti committing 547 violations since 2022. He's an officer in the New York City Police Department. (Thank you George and Kim!)
Why don't they screen the people they hire, and do a decent background check?

Nashville PD was looking out for this Chevelle... told the owner to park next to them during the parade
one of the officers said "That's a sweet ride. Do you want to park where nobody will touch it?"
I said "yes Sir." He said "Follow me."
They led me to a section of the garage where all the police cars were parked and then said "Today you're parking with us! I guarantee you nobody's gonna mess with your Chevelle!!!"

Paul Pelosi, just off probation, and too stupid and rich to get a driver, did a hit and run in Yountville, California, home of the French laundry, in the middle of Napa Valley
back in 2022 he was busted drunk driving https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2022/08/news-follow-up-on-drunk-driving-multi.html
his wife was a law maker, and he's the megamillionaire law breaker. Rich - entitled - connected piece of shit putting innocent bystanders lives in danger because he's a convicted damn drunk.. This time the cop ruled out drunk driving, probably because he's a local cop that doesn't want to ruin his career by being the one to bust the connected politician's husband for drunk driving
1985, the dozer went in, and never came out, of Witch Lake... they were laying cable for the ELF project.... Extreme Low Frequency, comms with subs (yeah, we could receive that under water, 1/2 the planet away in the Pacific)
Seems they did not know about making pads, or they would have built a caisson, and gotten that out of there in about a day
senior on her way to senior prom lays tracks after her dad said she didn't know how to do it.
As Kloe gets ready to pull away, her dad can be heard in the background saying "she loves that truck," which her mom affirms by saying "yes she does."
The grandparents are in attendance, too, adding "she takes after her parents, that's for sure."
It's then that the dad states that "she doesn't know how to do a burnout," but mom advises him not to watch what's about to happen as Kloe pulls out onto the road and proceeds to stop.
