Wonder if the lid was threaded on askew with just enough seal to build up pressure in spite of the leaking. Like you said though, there is supposed to be a mechanism that detects if the lid isn’t fully locked in place.

The USCSB has accident investigation videos on youtube with industrial accidents like this. One was a chemical reactor vessel that was upscaled incorrectly from a smaller test sized vessel and it wasn’t cooled correctly. Thing took the building out and killed employees.
Anytime an electric pressure cooker is not performing properly unplug it and leave the room until it has cooled down completely.

2·3 days agoThis was worse. It had lane detection so every once in a while I could feel it jerk the wheel even though I was solidly in my lane. The only advanced feature I didn’t mind was the proximity warning when I wanted to change lanes. It was pretty clear there was a car there but I didn’t mind the heads up.

2·3 days agoYah, I drove a rental with these for the first time and didn’t like it. It left the high beams on far longer than I would’ve manually and when I tried to manually switch them off it would turn them back on without me knowing.

4·3 days agoIt is insane how bright they are now and due to LEDs appear as point sources. Even if they are adjusted correctly for flat roads as soon as you get to any ripples in the road now they are aimed right into your eyes. For some reason insurers and the gov don’t recognize this problem.

4·3 days agoKeep selling these massive juggernaut trucks. There is no reason for them beyond emotional driven buying and profits. Then there is the matter of low license barriers, poor vehicle maintenance, and a lack of regular driving fitness testing. The US is also pedestrian unfriendly. I have to drive almost everywhere since there is very little within walking distance to my home. If I do try to walk there are stretches with no sidewalks and very sketchy intersections I have to cross.

5·3 days agoA big part is due to the higher trucks making it not only harder to see in front if someone is crossing near you but also if you hit something it is more likely to go under the truck. The bar to get a license in the US is also ridiculously low compared to Europe.
