"Smile in car camera" sticker and tailgaters

The shit I complain about It's like there ain't a cloud in the sky and it's raining out - Eminem ~! Firewall !~

Wouldn't you be then donating the sticker to each car in-front of you to increase your life time? ;)

Agreed. But the logistics would be terrible. I better idea would be have the sticker on the bonnet of your car facing you. Problem solved :laugh:
Yes, it would get stuck to the car in front of us, after the accident, after all. ;)

I have become tired of the tailgating redacted term who appear to believe that 6 feet is a safe distance to keep when travelling at 50+mph. So as well as a front facing camera, I am now installing a rear facing camera into my car. The rear facing camera comes through on Monday however in the meantime I placed a sticker in the rear window that says "smile in car camera recording". Strangely enough since the sticker has been there everyone is driving a good distance behind me, I am still getting the camera. It's interesting how just the presence of a sticker suddenly increases the intelligence of people. I once saw a very interesting interview with a mortuary worker who was asked "what is the one thing a person can do to prolong their life?" and the mortuary worker answered - the one thing they were aware of that would, statistically speaking, extend your life is keeping a good distance from the car/truck in front.

No need of a real rear camera. Just a dummy camera, with a prominent sticker would do, isn't it?

Why not install a bazooka, and blow them off the face of the earth? When driving with stupid and unsafe drivers, my dad used to tell my brother and I, "Boys, get me the bazooka. We are being attacked by idiots." :)

Putting a sticker on your car increases the life expectancy of those following you, unless I misunderstand your account of the conversation with the mortician. So, [insert Afaal's original comment here] And yes, I realize that it's pointless if you already understand the correlation between increased mortality and following distance - just as I'm aware that jokes get exponentially less funny the more they're explained..

I've always been tempted to get some of those solid-fuel rocket models[^] you can build and install them in PVC tubes on the roof of the car for just such eventualities... But, the Police would probably frown on them, and call in the anti-terrorism group. :sigh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Haha, nice. I've got an Estes Executioner sitting in storage somewhere, complete with a couple of D12 motors, waiting for when I get a chance to assemble it and some nice weather. Against my better judgement, I'll share a tale of an exchange I had on a now defunct website back in either 2006/7. Your mention of using hobby rockets for something other than their intended purpose reminded me of the affair. Basically, someone was running through the calculations required to make a 'pop-bottle rpg' as he called it. The idea was to emulate the *flight* performance of an rpg-7 round, using a P.E.T bottle as the nacelle. I forget the projected weight now, but we worked out that to accelerate it to 115 m/s as it left the muzzle, you'd need a peak impulse of something in the order of 50,000 newtons (Recall that an Estes A motor has up to just 2.5 N·s in it, with an A10 reaching a peak thrust of about 12 newtons). Anyway, it quickly became apparent that that was not the sort of kit one puts together in the home garage. Not all that long after, one of the mods (whom I despised and in the meantime had banned me for disagreeing with and insulting him) at the place became a wanted suspect in the shooting death and subsequent dismemberment of the fella he lived with. It was all rather surreal to be honest. This fella was totally off the radar until the fool used a credit card of the deceased somewhere near the canada/us border. Two months after the murder he was found in Canada. The problem was though, he'd been discovered hiding out at the house of the 'pop-bottle rpg' guy. Oh crap! But it got even 'better' - the host and his family were found to have illegal and unlicensed fully automatic weapons and to have been manufacturing and selling meth-amphetamine. Oh elephant! What on earth have I gone and done now, I wondered. The mod was eventually found guilty back in 2012 and sent off to her majesty's hotel. Never heard anything more of of about pop-bottle guy, thankfully. It seemed kinda funny on reflection that the mod had called someone the term for a bundle of sticks or a homosexual man, which led to a heated discussion, culminating in me making the reply that got me banned - something like 'have fun in prison gay-boy' (which was used on account of how offensive I knew he'd find it. I'm really happy that people are increasingly being permitted to marry whomever they choose) . I vaguely considered sending him a print-out of the exchange in prison once or twice, but decided I'd been foolish enough already

That story is so bat-guano crazy that I believe there is a high probability that you are not making it up.

Oh, if that post would do it, I was on the list a loooong time ago. sciencemadness.org and roguesci.org saw to that, I'm certain. Good luck to 'em. They're smart enough to see that while I've diverse and unconventional interests, I pose no threat to anything/one. I'd just like to enjoy life, learn/understand as much as I can and help others do the same.

Just wanted to make sure that you know that I was not being sarcastic, I actually believe you as everything hangs together in the story.

:thumbsup: Cheers mate, no - there's no problem. You didn't come across as sarcastic. I hope my response didn't come across poorly. I'm like a sponge for stories like that and figured some more info would give you the means to look into any further if desired. The range of human behaviour is both awe-inspiring and truly stupefying at times. The most interesting things always happen around the fringes, I think. Psychopaths are a truly fascinating bunch.

I have become tired of the tailgating redacted term who appear to believe that 6 feet is a safe distance to keep when travelling at 50+mph. So as well as a front facing camera, I am now installing a rear facing camera into my car. The rear facing camera comes through on Monday however in the meantime I placed a sticker in the rear window that says "smile in car camera recording". Strangely enough since the sticker has been there everyone is driving a good distance behind me, I am still getting the camera. It's interesting how just the presence of a sticker suddenly increases the intelligence of people. I once saw a very interesting interview with a mortuary worker who was asked "what is the one thing a person can do to prolong their life?" and the mortuary worker answered - the one thing they were aware of that would, statistically speaking, extend your life is keeping a good distance from the car/truck in front.

I heard somewhere about a driver who adjusted the nozzle of the passenger side window washing fluid sprayer so it sprayed up and over the top of his car. When someone followed to close, he juiced them.
