Horse manure was considered a serious risk in NYC. The banana skin (and the inevitable slip that followed) was a euphemism for slipping on horse manure in the street.
Surely a large part of the problem is thinking it's OK to leave the the hire scooters on public property wherever is convenient for the customer. Can't wait for the flying-vehicle startup. It's another tragedy of the…
No, it really is just a couple of fancy words strung together. Let's deconstruct it: 1) Space -- Einstein has shown that it's really Space-Time 2) Mind -- there is no real agreement on what "mind" means. Brain?…

Decades ago the reef was endangered by run-off from agriculture (fertilisers, agri-chemicals etc) and I believe this has been managed, since it's largely under human control (ie, we could stop song them tomorrow if we…

I'm not sure about the Gruen Effect, but can verify the Doorway Effect is real. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-walking-throu...
Anti-lock brakes never yielded the accident reduction expected, primarily because drivers used the improved braking performance to drive faster in poorer conditions. I guess the AEB works at reducing accidents because…

Like search and rescue operations, these are essentially exercises for defence forces. You can't make opportunities like these.
Ah, no that's something else: shutter distortion. This was made on a large format camera -- probably something like 4 x 5 inches -- with a focal plane shutter. The shutter has a huge distance to cover -- 4 inches -- and…
