I mean i do trust they use cheap labor, what i don't understand is how those people with virtually zero knowledge of engineering manage to work without messing the things up. Even building that concrete "skeleton" base of a tower is far from being a trivial task, considering the height of the skyscrapers there.
I love the beauty and simplicity of medieval times. The colors and architecture is so nice.

they're actually pentagons or hexagons, not squares
for whatever reason those shapes are the most stable for that type of rock

When they can't get by with cheap laborers and need some brains, they just shoot them before they have to pay them
[QUOTE=Scot;48929098]you know what i meant[/QUOTE]
it kinda presented certain technology as temporarily being used the wrong way which isnt really an unreasonable message.

I know it's a wide angle lens and it makes it seem faster than what he's actually going, but still, I wouldn't have the balls to do that, and I'm very comfortable with driving.

Yeah, here's a onboard camera from Ott Tänak at Rally Poland SS19. Like the part at 2:50, the road seems so small and there are tons of trees on both sides. Just one mistake and you're off the road.

[QUOTE=xamllew;48835407]Another historical example a bit farther back, Eastern tribes were equipped with European tech, guns, tools, and clothing through alliances and trading. The juxtaposition of European clothing with war paint and hide leggings looks pretty cool.

rally is the best motorsport hand down, you talk about group B alone for hours on end, while we're on the subject of tight rallies, Isle of man and the the manx rally are some of the fastest and tightest there is.

Skip to about 1:53 if you wanna see the kind what kind of man it takes to drive one of these cars flat out.
anyway on to one of my favorites.

This is the lancia delta S4, one of the later entries to group B officially it produced 480 bhp, but after some tweaking with the turbo and the right setup it could produce 1000bhp, and unofficiall numbers suggest it could do 0-100kph in 2.6 seconds on gravel.

The stainless steel body made it nice but the issue of Popular Mechanics I have goes over how it has a lot of problems from leaking door seals to the fact that the stock alternator is not powerful enough to both run the car AND charge the battery. It's BTTF and BTTF alone that makes it still garner any attention. There's a place in the states where you can buy [b]new[/b] Deloreans that are built from factory parts but while the running price right now for a used one is $35K a new one starts at $50K.
