• I have very strong personal reasons for not wanting to celebrate it. It’s best for me not to have constant reminders about christmas everywhere in my home. Maybe allowed was the wrong word to describe it, I don’t know.

    Hopefully they don’t have to pay anything, these attacks are preventable with the right policies.

    I can’t tell if you’re talking about me or not. But you showed me evidence, and I changed my position in response to it. :unsure:

    There are a couple of issues with the testing in that video, but they do appear to be functional. The main problem I have with the testing was that the lorries were empty, which reduces the momentum that has to be absorbed by the bollards. Assuming that they still work as efficently it looks like the contents of the lorry would not be…[Read more]

    The implication I think, is that I created this thread to attack muslims. Which is very clearly nonsense given that I have mentioned having muslims friends in other threads, and such. But SHR doesn’t actually read most of what I post, which is shown by thinking that I was American. Lol.

    Lets hope this is actually the right person this time. I…[Read more]

    You can mock me all you like. But what you are describing doesn’t seem posible without violating the first law of thermodynamics (conservation of energy), the bollard has to transfer all the kinectic energy in the lorry (or tank in this case) into something else. Where does it go?  The most likely is transferal of kinetic energy into the…[Read more]

    Can you explain exactly how these bollads work then? Because my understanding is that a tank can drive over pretty much any object ~1 metre tall. It’s what they’re designed to do (To cross trenches really, but those aren’t common anymore).

    Well, it is :unsure:

    You could maybe say it is offensive to me, but I don’t really think that is the right word.

    You are misrepresenting what I said, I said all people from muslim majority countries (Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran, ect.) should be restricted, it doesn’t matter if they claim to be muslim, christian or atheist.

    Im not sure about that, I immagine that concrete bollards would just fracture at the base with such a forceful impact. You are right that destroying the tires would not stop the lorry, but it would remove the ability for the driver to steer it towards people. Rising bollards have a weakness in that the power to them can be cut if the attack is…[Read more]
