Funny police recruitment video

Eerie walk through a factory suddenly abandoned.

Likewise in this article, lots of photos of the factory just suddenly abandoned.

It seems the factory was bought by a Chinese automaker, who dropped plans of continuing production, and it's just too expensive to deal with the cost of moving these cars and parts or selling them.

These videos always take sooo long to make a few simple points. His entire video can be reduced to:

1) depreciates thousands a year

2) financing can double the cost

3) even new RV's have frequent mechanical problems

4) a 5th wheel might be better for boondocking, needed larger tanks and maybe a composting toilet

5) lack of cooking space

Reddit - AskEngineers - Why the screw of plastic bottles have small gaps instead of being continuous?

I've always wondered why there are gaps in the screw caps in soda bottles, and now I know. The link for the video is a good illustration too.

How do I live in this black body?...The question is unanswerable, which is not to say futile.

...The violence rose like smoke from a fire.

... The fact that he was outnumbered didn't matter, because the whole world had outnumbered him long before.

... The streets could not let me see beyond the scramble of every day

compressed air turbo anti-lag system

Storing turbo pressure to provide a burst of air that spools the turbo up to speed faster from idle sounds like a good idea. The compressed air could come from an electric compressor, as in Volvo's system, or could be bled off the turbo system continuously and stored in a small tank for an extra burst during spool-up. This seems better than powering the turbo continuously by electric or belt drive (supercharging) because it's only for a few seconds that you need the power boost. 

This sytem was expesive ($20K) and "way too costly to actual implement"

There are many potential problems with the method, though
-have to disable the engine computer
-additional air makes the mixture lean, if added on the intake side
-may force exhaust gases back into the cylinder
