sheared

This causes the pole to be either sheared off or to stop the car before the pole hits an occupant." There's winning and there's crushing the opponents.

Careful with the cable when putting it back as they can get trapped and sheared if you don't route them properly. You can get the parts from ebay usually but you might have to wait a bit for one to appear.

The doors are too heavy for the fittings and they basically sheared off on one side. Fixing is really hard because the door weighs too much and so is brutal on anything I've had a go at.

But what you wouldn't do is slam into the dirt that's now at the end of the tube like you would if your buried concrete tube was sheared 20ft by a fault line.

That means if the earth moves 20 feet sideways between two pylons the steel has a chance to bend and move rather than be sheared. And you can design the pylons to be strong enough to hold the tube up, but not so strong as to break the tube.

The reason the triple-sheared images look crappy is because the three shears themselves are subject to pixel aliasing. Still pretty cool.

The cruiser was going at least 130mph, without lights or siren on, struck the car at the b pillar and literally sheared the car in half right behind the driver. It was unreal, the two pieces of the car looked like they had been cut in two by a giant table saw.

Because all you guys are going to do is throw money at some project about IT sales software for hair salons and some primitive system about keeping track of sheared sheep with barcodes or something. Also: Immigration.

The report says that because the cross section of the air gap is much larger than its thickness, and the air in the gap is violently sheared , it has low thermal resistance.

The point is, like a sheep on a farm, you're being milked and sheared by your government, like in most socialist countries. Sure, like sheep on a farm, you're well tended to, but you basically live in a society where people exist to serve their government rather than the opposite.

And that while I love the hardware, the OS that is supposed to drive it no longer interests me; and the rapacious attitude that seems to imply that both devs and customers are sheep to be sheared grates on me. I've been an Apple user from the days when I wanted an Apple ][ soooo badly.

My MechEng prof in college was involved as an expert witness in a case of this: the bolts holding the drive pulley sheared, letting the pulley free-run. Bad. Interestingly, Otis is famous for his invention of the elevator safety brake.

All sensors could be sheared off. I have no idea what my airspeed is ever because I don't use pitot tubes so I use a known engine throttle % whose stall characteristic I understand for level flight in various wind conditions and I don't make sudden maneuvers at throttle below this point.

There are gradations between the white-gloved consummate servant to the user and packing your users into the chute to get sheared, chopped, battered and fried. The "users are products" meme is just so goddamn emo-sophomoric-simplistic-annoying.

Those would probably be recoverable, but if it sheared off pitot tubes in just the right way - it could be a disaster. I hate to be a wet blanket but - although these images are stunning - it's not something we should be doing without serious consideration of the possible risks or taking the appropriate precautions.

While it is _them_ that will be caged, that will sheared, that will be milked, that will be slaughtered by the resulting policy, they are the only ones having absolutely no baaa and meeh in how much freedom they are willing to trade for how big a benefit. We have only special interests standing around the corrals and deciding "whats best" for the corralled sheep, and unsurprisingly, the decision always end up as total and maximal exploitation of the ones who have no say in it.
