Default Dear God HELP MEEEEE!

Just saw the new BMW Z4 advert with the car doing donuts on a pieve of paper with paint on the wheels. In about 10 seconds I had a schematic in my head of how I'd have done it and then noticed it looks like exactly that was what they've done (spray jets mounted ahead of each wheel with multiple nozzles and I suspect a tanks mounted in the boot with hosing through to the units and some sort of switching system to change the colour on command)

Dear god I need to turn off sometimes

No you don't. And a few calc.s will all but prove god doesn't exist either.

You know in the film "Terminator" where the robot sees everything in geometric CAD-graphs and tessalations? I find myself doing that sometimes, too! It's just a clear mindset thing.

Go listen to some heavy metal...

My god someone else who does it!

I'm thinking that bit in The Matrix in the foyer of the building with lots of guns would be a good distraction. I'll probably find something wrong with trajectories, ammo quantities, aim off set from recoil whilst doing a one handed cartwheel or similar though

Ben - step away from the engineering and go find either:

a) a gokart circuit
b) the world's largest stash of p0rn
c) some drink / drgugs / adrenalin rush type thing for the adrenalin
d) a woman, girl, hooker, an effeminate man if needs be
e) any combination of the above

I have one word left to say to you.....






NOW!

I'm surprised you'd suggest it'd take that long

Don't over think it ...
They probably didn't do it in one take like the Honda boys would have done
