You were his plan A.

You missed out big time. Deadpool did it.

That is correct. His safety system is subject to recall for being defective.

Are you the guy who sleeps on the mattress with a factory label still attached? I've heard of you 🤣

You can remove it now.

You asked, I answered. Now you are moving goalposts instead of helping OP.

I've had a car where the owner's manual contained instructions how to disable passenger side airbag. There was a key for that.

But that's beside the point.

OP wanted to reliably and reversibly deactivate SRS, I told him where to look.

He could also find and unplug the sensor/control unit (usually near firewall, inside cabin) or take out the inflators themselves, but that's more work and assumes mechanical savvy

Manufacturers don't want you to open the hood.

Pulling fuses for diagnostics and troubleshooting purposes is in the official repair manuals.

Example: http://starparts.chrysler.com/tsb/en_us/dto/pbd2/08/00/22/080022dc80c84c7a.pdf, second page.

Whether you are comfortable to play a mechanic, is up to the individual.

There may be more than one. The fuses servectwo roles - to isolate/depower malfunctioning circuits and to deliberately disable certain functions. Latter more commonly used by mechanics for troubleshooting.

If I were in OP's place and had itrational fear that my airbag may explode, I would read the manual and disable the SRS module that controls all airbags by pulling the necessary fuses.

Or have dealer tow it.

You can always call the dealership and see what assistance they provide with this recall. Perhaps they'll spring for a tow and a free loaner.

Fuse layout should be easy to find for a specific make/model/year.

Definitely don't do "controlled explosion".

Pull the airbag fuse, and go.

Lay off the meth

Come join the infidels club.

With blackjack and hookers ..

You did an honorable thing

Do you remember how you met?

Hey, at least you didn't get an STD.

The trap worked exactly as it was supposed to. Separate tourists from the money without violence.

I think the same would happen with Americans in 2012.

There were a couple of these honeypot places in Miami, operating in plain view.

How did you miss such a formation for so long?

Not a tifu. A lot of Japanese people feel the same way.

Dropping unused fuel tanks is not unique to rockets, some military planes use it too.

In most cases, dropped stage also contains the engine(s), because replumbing inflight is hard, and because the next-stage thrust need is reduced. But not always. For example, the Space shuttle made do with oversized reusable engines and an add-on tank.

Most engines are. Since liquid fuelrd rocket engines don't overheat, running them at less than top power would mean you are taking extra weight in orbit.

Rockets launch at full power. The effect of air resistance comes into play for some, more fragile rockets which cannot withstand maximum frontal forces, so there is a point during ascend (maxQ), when engines are temporarily dialed back to reduce acceleration.

A few seconds later, the max power is restored in less dense atmosphere.

Why the let-off is stepped rather than gradual is a mystery to me, perhaps some optimization is available. Also relevant the path of the rocket - the more vertically it launches, the faster it clears the atmosphere, but then longer takes to gain lateral orbital speed.

Right back atcha.

A family with low engineering skills?

A rope/towel twisted around neighboring bars would work, if no pipe clamps are around.

Lmao!

In a few years, Timmy can show you how to use tv without the remote.

>a single cab dually, has parked 6” from my driver’s side door. His rear is 3” from my truck.

How is it even possible. Both trucks lack rear view mirrors?

Time to write the next tifu: "didn't know most liquids actually shrink when frozen"
