“Blizzard’s corpo overlords suck!”

It’s been one hell of a long road since the Carter administration’s DOE and NASA proposed launching football-field-sized solar arrays to transmit power back to earth to break the Arab oil cartels. Electric cars were seen as a totally-do-able thing then. 

Rifle, CO may be impoverished and rural. (Note: not really)

You should edit your article to indicate the cost is $300k TOTAL to raise a child to 18.

In some fairness, birth control can be/was very expensive, I don’t know if the Affordable Care Act did much, I haven’t been on the pill in years. But when I first bought birth control pills in the US (early ‘00s maybe), both me and the pharmacist who rang me up had sticker shock...the pharmacist couldn’t believe how…

So, honest question: I always hated Kanye’s music, so I never paid any attention to him in his less embarrassing days. Was he totally normal and the bundle of crazy just came out later? Because I’m sorry, but views like loving Hitler and believing in invisible flying cars are things you really want to clear up before…

You’re right that it’s not exactly clear, but I’m pretty sure you just answered your own question there, “they’re probably large, intimidating, armed men, shouting about jail time and gigantic fines, holding some kind of piece of paper they claim gives them access” and his wife answered the door likely sans large,…

I think its more that the guild’s main leadership isn’t particularly active, but that might not extend to the general membership. I’d be shocked if a guild could have that much stuff in EVE Online without being active at all, particularly with a near-300 person membership.

So they joined an inactive guild and gained control due to their inactivity, and followed it up by claiming the guild bank?

One thing I would be very aligned with is legislation around accurate measure and reporting of total capacity, usable capacity etc. It is very clear for an industry that went all in to fake milage results and the like is susceptible to displaying lies about total usable capacity and batter state when they both own the…

Yo here have a free car that can help make your situation a little better, also advertise these bars, so I can get paid and help other people.

I would be more interested to see the miles that were put on the vehicles as well. I know you said “exclude Toyota” but that is all I have to go on right now. My ‘07 Hybrid Highlander just hit 270k miles yesterday. I have owned it since 135k miles or so (maybe 148k? I forget) other than a timing belt and wear and tear…

Career mechanic here (and Bolt EV owner since early 2019).
To pick one very popular and common group of vehicles - GM full size V8 pickups and SUVs have had yearslong major, widespread problems with their automatic transmissions and DOD systems for at least the last 7 model years. Dozens of TSBs, revised part numbers,…

Highly possible that the Leaf/Model S examples in this study were that age or close to it. Point remains, I’d be curious what the attrition rate is for driveline components in general for EVs vs ICE.

I almost spit out my coffee.

Hmmm... Jalopnik trashing something that’s free because it has ads all over it.  Interesting.

No one bats an eye at a company spending money on advertisements, so it seems kind of pointless to get upset about this. The price of that car and the wrap (or stickers, whichever it is) is the price he paid for this advertisement video for his product. No different from anything else, just this has the added bonus of…

A 1.5% replacement rate on vehicles several years old does not seem that bad. I am curious what the replacement rate on ICE vehicles is for engines, transmissions, or other expensive drivetrain components during that time. I am particularly interested in that figure if you remove brands like Toyota whose primary…

Mr. Hodge, I’m guessing you don’t have a lot of experience in nonprofit/charitable fundraising. Allow me, a guy who has decades of experience being on nonprofit boards and running their huge (hundreds of people, 6 and 7 digit donations) fundraising events, explain it to you. [Yes, I’m being serious. You didn’t expect…

So what?
