I mean, what better way to sell a new and untrusted device than to put your own trust (and life) in the product.
Would you sell a bullet proof vest if you didn’t feel safe wearing it?
Would you buy a bullet proof vest if its own inventor didn’t feel safe wearing it?
Turns out, it’s illegal to remove them in the US:
I’ll be leaving the cowbird egg in the nest, but will keep a close eye on the other eggs.
I’ve heard that the cowbird will retaliate if it finds its egg missing. Won’t that happen?
Well dang…
Hopefully the Robin babies do alright.
Is that for real? How would there be two species of eggs together? Is it common?
Yup. Best solution I’ve heard of for stuff like this out climbing in the drier is to scare the ever living daylight out of them (without doing any actual harm).
In this scenario, I would “trap” their arm with something like a notebook, make a loud racket in the fridge, and maybe even shake the door a bunch.
For something like a clothes drier, I would slap the machine a lot and shake it all about.
Basically, scare them enough that they lose all desire to do it again. Sucks to have to do it, but it’s not like you can sit them down and have a chat about the dangers of machines…
Makes me wonder if Valve saw that and got some inspiration for Half Life…
Basically, the big circle is what you think of them, and the small circle is what you believe they think of you.
For a showroom vehicle where you want everything on the vehicle to be as spotless and unblemished as possible, yeah, I would imagine some places would.
Sure, not everywhere is gonna do it, but I would guess that they had a time or two where a car slipped on the curb and scuffed up the tire. It’s one more thing to potentially turn off a customer. Plus, they maybe can’t sell the car until they replace the damaged tires (just my guess).
Wouldn’t that be the same for any show car? Like, you don’t want to scuff up the new tires by unnecessarily taking the car over a curb.
Granted, they should have put them away for the show, but they clearly don’t have much brain power to show.
Oh 100% you’re right.
I’d wager this wasn’t one of their first tests (and maybe not even a test at all). Looks to me like an advertisement/publicity stunt/demonstration.
I could be easily wrong since I haven’t researched this exact event, but I think it’s safe to assume it’s more than just a test since they have cameras out.
