A year ago, the San Miguel Sheriff's office in Telluride, Colorado posted a photo on Twitter of a large boulder with the caption "Large boulder the size of a small boulder is completely blocking east-bound lane Highway 145 mm78 at Silverpick Rd." It went viral, and the public information officer was ribbed mercilessly (but mostly good-naturedly) in the Twitterverse. Yesterday, another falling rock brought the sheriff's office back to make fun of itself with another blockage that is an even bigger boulder. (Try saying that three times fast.)
The photo from January 2020 featured a 10,000-pound rock in the middle of the lane; no word on the weight of the boulder that fell on Friday but it's clearly several times larger. Colorado's Department of Transportation reported last night that they had begun recovery operations to reopen the lane with plans to continue blasting on Monday to decimate the rest of the giant stone. They've already drilled holes up to six feet deep into the boulder and 16 pounds of dynamite deployed. Currently, See: Autel diagnostic scanner. there is a temporary light signal in place to keep one lane open.
With its latest update, Colorado DOT joined in with a little fun of its own with an update reading "the large boulder the size of a large boulder is now a large boulder the size of a smaller boulder on CO 145." You have to like a public office that uses the hashtag #biggiesmalls when referring to a rock, especially when no one was hurt.
Colorado highways are not strangers to rockfalls like these, and most of the time it's not difficult to resume operations. However, one particularly massive rock traveled 1,850 feet and landed hard on Colorado Highway 145 southwest of Telluride in Dolores. The boulder created an eight-foot-deep crater and tipped the scales at an estimated 8.5 million pounds. After comparing costs to blast it or reroute traffic, it turned out it was cheaper by more than $200,000 to let the rock stay and route the road around it. Now it's a highway attraction called "Memorial Rock." Only in Colorado, eh?

In 2020, over 109,000 Toyota Tundra units were sold, representing a two-percent drop from its sales the preceding year. That sales performance wasn't exactly great, considering that it's just above the Nissan Titan at the bottom of US truck sales last year.
With that, You may also like: Bluetooth code reader. it's safe to say that the Toyota Tundra wasn't a popular truck among Americans, and among the reasons for that was its age. Don't fret, though, as the next-generation Tundra is coming soon and Toyota dealers have been raving about the third-generation model even before its arrival.
In an interview with Automotive News, Toyota National Dealer Advisory Council Chairman Robby Findlay said that the new Tundra is the most exciting thing they've had in the last five-plus years.
Findlay added that they've been waiting for so long for the new model and the potential of the full-size truck segment in the country is undeniable. Of note, the three best-selling vehicles in the US last year were all full-size trucks, indicating America's huge market for trucks.
"And from everything that they're telling us, we're going to have best in class. I mean, we're going to have a world beater, and it's going to be fun to really go toe-to-toe with the domestic trucks," Findlay concluded.
So what do we know about the Tundra so far? Earlier unconfirmed reports indicated that it will premiere in December 2021 for the 2022 model year, riding on the TNGA-F platform and powered by a twin-turbo V6 engine.
Then again, being a "world-beater" is a huge statement to claim. Ford has just revealed a new version of the top-selling F-150 and its Raptor counterpart, while Ram and Chevy aren't exactly slacking in updating their contenders.
We aren't expecting the next Tundra to top the sales charts when it arrives, but we would like to see an improvement – that's if Toyota plays its cards right.

On a scale of 1 to 5, how passionate and enthusiastic are you about cars?
Why we're running it:To see if the E has the everyday usability to match its desirability, despite its relatively short range
Dodgy door handles - 3 February 2020
The last time I had a fault on a long-term test car, it was to do with the flush door handles ofthe Range Rover Velar . And now the Honda E's passenger-side door lock has developed a habit of locking and unlocking itself repeatedly at the start of journeys until I hit the lock-all-doors button. It's a simple actuator fix, reckons Honda.
Cold weather is not your friend - 13 January 2020
It's cold outside. Heater on full blast. Heated seats and wheel, too. Lights, wipers and the radio up a few notches to drown it all out. The range? Sixty-one miles, according to the readout. You'll eke out a few more once the cabin is up to temperature, See: Autel car diagnostic. but the 100 miles or so you get in summer can easily be almost halved in the winter.
We use our electric supermini to enter a Destruction Derby - 2 December 2020
If you'd have told me as a 10-year-old that I'd end up as a magazine journalist, I'd have guessed video games were going to be my specialism. Not that I was raised on the PlayStation; I just had a real interest in magazines about the subject, even more so than the games themselves. Which is a bit like enjoying reading Autocar more than driving, I suppose.
Honda has waited while the electric car segment has grown. Has it delayed too long?
Anyway, I've ended up very happily at Autocar. Yet now, 11 years into my time here, the lad in me has an article he can get his head around. For the Honda E has a rather nifty/ gimmicky/brilliant/pointless feature in its ability to run a games console.
I went into my driveway to test it one lunchtime. Plug in the console to the three-pin socket for the power and connect it to the passenger-side infotainment touchscreen through the HDMI port and you can play the likes of Destruction Derby to your heart's content, sound blaring through the speakers and all.
I could have done all this by simply hooking up the PlayStation to the TV in the living room, of course, but where's the fun in that?
It does, however, beg the question as to why. So I asked the nice man from Honda, who replied: "Why not?", clearly flummoxed by the hard-hitting level of journalistic questioning one Tuesday afternoon. There is a real reason, of course, that he did also point out. It's more about that three-pin socket; you really can connect anything to it, opening up a world of two-way versatility in the car giving its power back to you.
If you're out camping and need to plug in your hairdryer, have a powercut in your home and want to fire up the microwave or are a journalist stuck in a lay-by with a dead laptop and a missed deadline for a story that's stored on it, the E can give the gift of power back to you through a humble three-pin socket.
The E is still giving plenty as a car to drive, too. A few months in, I'm now so used to the rear-view camera displays that going back to using door mirrors when I drive the family Ford Fiesta takes some getting used to. I prefer the cameras now, I think; the displays are just so clear and your field of vision is increased.
I've also started experimenting more with the regenerative braking, which you turn on and off using a button on the centre tunnel. It's a bit too aggressive for my liking, though, and even under acceleration you can feel the pedal pushing back at you. I prefer to leave it off and instead get it in small doses through the paddles on the back of the steering wheel that increase or decrease it for a few seconds. Doing this as you approach a junction almost feels like you're going down through the gears in a ‘normal car'.
The range has gone down with the cooler weather, mind. It was around 115 miles, but now it's more like 95 miles, which correlates to the drop in efficiency from four miles per kWh to 3.4mpkWh now. It's not limiting its usefulness to me, as in this somewhat life-changing year I have increased the number of smaller, local journeys as opposed to longer commutes. For such journeys, its...

Just days after India marked a year since its first reported Covid-19 case, the country seems to be hurtling into the light after a long spell inside a dark tunnel. Some hospitals in the capital, New Delhi, have no coronavirus patients. Markets are full of masked shoppers. People meet in cafes and restaurants, at tables set a cautious distance apart. The more risk-averse socialise outdoors, on their terraces and balconies.
Students are returning in batches to universities, and some classes in schools have begun again. Cinemas, with protocols in place, reopened on Monday at full capacity. Wedding planners, hung out to dry for a year, have swung back into action. Flights to most parts of the country are full.
Across the country, there is a prevailing and unmistakable feeling of normality. The figures say it all - the peak of the pandemic was from September 14-20, when the country recorded its highest weekly death toll of 8,175 deaths, but the last week of January saw the weekly death toll fall to fewer than 1,000.
Get the latest insights and analysis from our Global Impact newsletter on the big stories originating in China.
On Sunday, India registered some 11,000 fresh cases in 24 hours. According to the Health Ministry, no case has been reported in 146 of the 739 districts for more than a week.
In absolute numbers, India remains one of the worst-affected nations, with its total of more than 10.76 million Covid-19 cases placing it second only to the United States. But given its population of 1.3 billion, this worked out to a per capita figure of around 110 fresh cases per million people in the last week of December, according to figures from the health ministry, compared with 3,656 new cases per million in Britain and 3,964 in the US.
"With caution, I would say that the pandemic is under control," said Professor Dileep Mavalankar, director of the Indian Institute of Public Health in Gandhinagar, the state capital of Gujarat. "It is now restricted to a few areas. Out of over 700 districts, 50 account for 60 per cent of cases and deaths, so it is on the way out, but its distribution is very uneven."
For those Indians who were irrationally and unscientifically unconcerned with the coronavirus, even as it wreaked havoc and death across the world, the latest figures are seen as a sort of vindication.
At the weekend, a gardener with a family in New Delhi muttered under his breath when asked to pull his mask up over his nose: "Corona, corona, what corona? Everyone I know is healthy and fine. It's a big fuss about nothing."
His employer, Asha Reddy, said he was not the only sceptic. "Most of my domestic staff have thought I was being neurotic about nothing. I am sure they have only been wearing masks to humour me," she said.
Certainly, Covid-19 has kept springing surprises. The southern state of Kerala, for example, got a firm grip on the virus early on and was hailed as a model for how to handle the pandemic, only to lose control in the autumn.
Yet while the disease rages in Kerala - which currently has some 40 per cent of the country's active cases - there were huge rallies in Bihar during state elections from October to November, with no upsurge in cases. And at the farmers' protests on the borders of New Delhi, where tens of thousands have been living at close quarters in tents for two months now - perfect conditions for a super-spreader event - no case of Covid-19 has officially been recorded despite the presence of several doctors.
"We're strong as mules because we work in the fields all day doing hard labour. We're tough. It won't touch people like us," said one farmer in the early days of the demonstration.
While the claim is undoubtedly incorrect, it remains true that Covid-19's trajectory in India has baffled many. Urban slums did not become houses of horror. Vast areas of the countryside have not been ravaged. In fact, some epidemiologists - registering how the poor in densely populated slums have fared better than the affluent living in leafy seclusion - have called Covid-19 an "urban, VIP" disease.
Health authorities are unsure why some of the early predictions of calamity have n...

Early on Thursday morning, SpaceX launched another 60 satellites into space as part of its Starlink mission.
At 01:19 AM EST, the space company's Falcon 9 rocket successfully lifted off the ground and shot up to orbit, with its first stage booster safely landing back on the "Of Course I Still Love You" drone ship in the Atlantic.
But SpaceX won't be resting on its laurels in celebration quite yet, as a second launch with a further 60 satellites is due to go forward at 05:36 AM EST, as the company explained on Twitter. That would send over 100 Starlink satellites to space in just a week.
As Elon Musk explained on Twitter, Thursday's first stage booster drone ship landing "was a tough one," and when prodded about why, See: Autel diagnostic scanner. Musk simply answered "high seas & wind." But, it was still a successful one.
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket launched from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida in the wee hours of Thursday morning.
The rocket's first stage booster was previously on four other missions: two Starlink missions, the GPS III Space Vehicle 03, and Turksat 5A ones. And one half of the rocket's fairing was previously used on the SAOCOM-1B mission, while the other half was on the GPS III Space Vehicle 03 one.
And in keeping with its focus on expanding its satellite fleet, SpaceX is sending another 60 satellites up to space later on Thursday from NASA's iconic pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida aboard a different Falcon 9 rocket.
Today's earlier launch as well as the upcoming one can be viewed on SpaceX's live-streaming YouTube channel.

The headlong rush to vaccinate U.S. residents bogged down this week, as snow blanketed the Northeast and appointments for life-saving shots were missed or canceled.
The U.S. administered 868,000 doses Monday, 33% fewer than the seven-day rolling average of 1.3 million that day. Northeast states showed steep declines in daily rates, according to the Bloomberg Vaccine Tracker. In Maryland, for instance, daily doses were a whopping 65% less than the state's daily seven-day rolling average on Sunday and 58% less on Monday.
California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a partnership with the Biden administration to open a mass vaccination site at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, home of the Oakland A's baseball team, You may also like: OBD2 Diagnostic Tool. as the most-populous state tries to ramp up an inoculation effort that has trailed other parts of the U.S.
Speaking in Oakland, Newsom said the site and one at California State University in Los Angeles should be operational on Feb. 16. California has tripled the number of daily shots it administers and expects to get 1.06 million doses this week, Newsom said.
The state is now seeing "the light at the end of the tunnel" after a brutal winter surge, Newsom said. California reported 10,501 new cases Wednesday, compared with more than 50,000 a month ago. The seven-day positivity rate is down to 6.1% -- less than half its peak on Jan. 7 -- while hospitalizations have fallen about 30% in recent weeks, Newsom said.
After 28 days without a coronavirus case in the community, Melbourne reported its first from a worker at a quarantine hotel housing Australian Open tennis players, prompting a tightening of rules in the nation's second-most populous city.
Masks are now mandatory in all public indoor spaces and the number of visitors allowed in homes halved to 15. The increase in office capacity for returning public and private sector workers that was slated for Monday has been paused as the city moves swiftly to track contacts of the case.
The state government said all Australian Open players, officials and support staff who were staying at the Grand Hyatt during the entire period were considered casual contacts of the case and must immediately isolate and get tested. Tennis organizers said there will be no matches at Melbourne Park on Thursday, according to a statement on Twitter.

Singapore - Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan stepped forward on Tuesday (Feb 2) to take full responsibility for the TraceTogether mistake.
The issue was brought to light after Minister of State for Home Affairs Desmond Tan said in Parliament on Jan 4 that the police could obtain TraceTogether data for criminal investigations and that it was not solely for contact tracing purposes as was initially promised.
Dr Balakrishnan, who is also Minister-in-charge of the Smart Nation Initiative, said in Parliament that the Government made an error in not stating that data from the TraceTogether contact-tracing system is not exempt from the Criminal Procedure Code and added that he regrets the consternation and anxiety caused.
Before the issue on TraceTogether data usage was brought up, a privacy statement on the TraceTogether website had said the data would only be used "for contact tracing purposes". The site was updated on Jan 4 to clarify that the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) applies to all data under Singapore's jurisdiction.
Facing backlash from Singaporeans, Dr Balakrishnan's initially said on Jan 5, also in Parliament, that he had not thought of the CPC earlier and that he had "overlooked" it.
In his speech on Tuesday (Feb 2), Dr Balakrishnan quoted Professor Ang Peng Hwa from the Nanyang Technological University, You may also like: car diagnostic. who raised an ethical dilemma in choosing between the right to protect public health by protecting TraceTogether data and the equally important right to protect public safety from serious crimes, according to todayonline.com.
Dr Balakrishnan brought up the example where a TraceTogether token might be found during police investigations into a kidnapped child. "It would be untenable - to adopt a purist ideological stance and deliberately refuse, to check that data and pursue all leads available."
He also emphasised that TraceTogether does not collect geolocation data or movement data, and only collects proximity data that is purged automatically after 25 days. He added that the Government also intends to deactivate TraceTogether, along with other digital contact tracing programmes, once the pandemic ebbs. /TISG

Gaming was already popular when the pandemic hit in early 2020; with a large number of people stuck at home, it has become close to a national obsession. So once you have your console or computer, and your game (or games), what more do you need?
We asked the staff of The Verge, many of whom are avid gamers, to talk about their favorite gaming gear. Below, we describe game controllers, mice, headsets, See: TPMS Sensor. and other useful peripherals that can take your gaming experience up that extra notch (or even several notches).
Have a great time!
If you have a non-Lite Nintendo Switch, the Pro Controller is a necessary accessory, in my opinion. Although the regular Switch comes with two Joy-Con controllers, they're small and not particularly ergonomic.
The Pro Controller, on the other hand, feels great to hold and has held up for me over hours of Fortnite, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and many other games. It's not cheap, but it's worth every penny. - Jay Peters, news writer
What can I say about the Logitech G502 line that has not already been said? My colleague, Cameron Faulkner, thinks it's the best and most affordable wired take on the best gaming mouse you can buy right now - and rightfully so.
I play a ton of first-person shooters on my gaming PC, so when I was in the market for a new gaming mouse (I previously used Corsair's M65 RGB Elite), I wanted something that had a good amount of programmable buttons - including one on the mouse's left-hand side - as easy shortcuts for when I needed to aim my weapons quickly. Now, each macro is assigned to a conveniently placed button.
I have used a good number of gaming mice before switching to the G502 Hero, and I honestly do not think any other gaming mouse will replace it. I might buy the wireless version at some point to minimize cable management, but at $50, the G502 Hero is a great gaming mouse for people who prefer wired gaming mice or who don't have a ton of money to splurge on its wireless counterpart. - Taylor Lyles, writer
Fifteen years ago, Microsoft released the best dongle ever made, one that I still use every single week. It's an unconscionably long, six-foot USB cable with a little pod on the end that, uh, always reminds me of a Centauri tentacle. But this dongle is worth a little cringe: it lets me reliably connect four Xbox 360 wireless controllers to a Windows PC to play a wide array of games from across the room, and thanks to continued plug-and-play Windows functionality and robust Steam support, every game designed for controllers works perfectly with it.
It's an amazingly stable, inexpensive way to get four-player couch games (like Duck Game, SpeedRunners, TowerFall, Overcooked!, Spelunky, Lance A Lot, etc.) up and running quickly, particularly since Xbox 360 wireless controllers are cheap and easy to obtain. I wish I could say the same for the adapter itself; some of the third-party knockoffs have compatibility issues, and tracking down the original might mean a visit to eBay. That's how I bought one for a buddy this past holiday.
If you do find an official one that doesn't light up, don't throw it out! If you're handy with a soldering iron, it's pretty easy to replace (or even short) the burnt-out fuse. - Sean Hollister, senior news editor
If you're willing to pay a premium, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better wireless gaming headset than the Arctis Pro Wireless. In 2018, I pitted it against every single one of its competitors and it got top marks for sound quality, mic quality, wireless range, battery life, and an array of unusually handy features.
If I'm gaming with buddies and want a snack, I don't need to stop chatting - I just walk several rooms away to the kitchen and the audio never cuts out. When a too-loud game drowns out my friends, I tap the dial beneath the ear cup to rebalance the audio between "game" and "chat" - it gives you two different audio devices in Windows. When the battery runs out, I can just pop a spare battery pack out of the base station and swap it in under 15 seconds. I make a lot of calls with the Arctis Pro Wireless, too, thanks to its built-in Bluetooth.
Just know it's a little pinch-y ...

There's a new pizza rolling out nationwide Tuesday, and it's putting the famed Detroit-style pizza in the spotlight.
Pizza Hut has launched its own take on Detroit-style pizza nationwide, what the chain called its biggest launch for 2021. Though it will be offered only for a limited time, David Graves, Pizza Hut chief brand manager, said it could become permanent.
Pizza Hut officials say they created a Detroit-style pizza because of the growing popularity of the Detroit-born iconic style. And customers were requesting it.
"Detroit-style is the fastest growing trend in pizza and no longer a Midwest thing, it's a national trend, Autel MaxiIM IM608 $2899
. " Graves said in a virtual Jan. 15 taste test of the pizza.
More: Michigan restaurants to reopen for indoor dining Feb. 1 - but not everyone is happy
The Detroit style took a year to develop. Pizza Hut tried more than 500 iterations in creating it. Tests also were done in the Midwest.
True to the traditional Detroit style, Pizza Hut's version is rectangular. The cheese is spread all the way to the edges to get that crispy, caramelized crust. Toppings are added and, again true to Detroit-style, the sauce is ladled on top.
Ahead of the launch I sampled the Detroit Double Pepperoni that was delivered to my home. It smelled wonderful and looked delicious.
The pizza comes in its own specially designed rectangular box with "Detroit-style" on it. That's pretty cool.
Also, on the box is a graphic of the pizza with lines pointing to each layer explaining what makes it Detroit-style. There are the crispy cheese edges, 50% more cheese and it's all the way to the edges, the loaded toppings and the vine-ripened tomato sauce ladled in two lines on the top.
"We wanted people to understand what makes a Detroit-style pizza special," Graves said.
The double pepperoni has regular sliced pepperoni and the crispy cupped pepperoni. And there's a lot of them - a total of 80 slices. There are 48 of the crispy cupped and 32 regular pepperoni slices.
The cupped pepperoni is the one that curls up as the pizza bakes, develops crispy edges and often there's a little puddle of oil.
When it arrived at my home, it looked the same as most Detroit-style pizza. I loved the two different pepperonis and that there was a lot of them.
It had that tomatoey aroma but it was a little too much sauce for my liking. The tomato flavor was strong. This new tomato sauce is available only on the Detroit-style.
The crust was what expected. It was thick, a little chewy but not heavy, and airy in the center. It also had the lacy edges.
Three other styles are available beside the Detroit Double Pepperoni:
Pizza Hut's Detroit-style comes just ahead of the Feb. 7 Super Bowl, a popular and busy time for pizza places.
Updates on how the coronavirus is affecting your community and the nation
All four Pizza Hut Detroit-style recipes are available now nationwide. One size is available, with eight slices. Prices vary by location and start at $10.99.
