Something strange is going on
the walls of a bus are sheetmetal thin, while car doors are padded with soundproofing and foam and handles and speakers and airbags and multiple layers of metal. plus the bus seats are benches for easy side movement while cars have bucket seats and seatbelts.

i think actual information is way too difficult to suss out these days with the misinformation campaigns and the paywalls and the trolling, etc.

Ray tracing made possible on 42-year-old ZX Spectrum: 'reasonably fast, if you consider 17 hours per frame to be reasonably fast'
i once took 12+ hours to raytrace on an 8mhz Amiga only to realize that it didn't have any light sources and so was pitch black.

People be like that
the Curtis JN-4 "Jenny" cruised at 40-60 mph, slow enough for wing-walkers to stand despite airflow. this photo has Ivan Unger and Gladys Roy miming a tennis match.
Gladys died at 25 years old in 1927 when she distractedly walked into the spinning propellor of a plane on the ground.

note that Japanese read pictures from right to left, while Western readers read left to right. Westerners view the last image as an awesome wave and usually miss the boats, while Japanese viewers relate to the boats first and then feel how doomed they are.

Hot tub owners: any tips? any regrets?
shoot for repairability. the ones that drown all the components in styrofoam so you cant replace any pieces are not worth having. thermospa brand have the components all repairable. also the closer it is to your house the more you will use it. if you contact the manufacturer and ask what cancelled orders they have sitting around you can get a major discount like 30%+

What was going on in England in the 1970s to give Monty Python so much comedy fodder that is still relevant today?
the sexual revolution took place in the 60s/70s, partly due to invention of the contraceptive pill, which became available to unmarried women in 1967. homosexuality was partially decriminalized in 1967. abortion was legalized. no fault divorce was introduced.
it was the biggest social movement of their lives, perhaps started by women joining the workforce for world war II.
