If you can show up to work and hold a shovel you’re 1/2 way there. It’s not that simple but the job postings don’t require any higher education. Training is a big part of the new hire process. 

Do you drive one of these? What I noted is abundantly clear in the first 10 min of driving.

Modern trucks have braking on par with normal passenger cars. 60-0 in 135 feet is average. A new Focus takes 120 feet to stop from 60. The only performance disadvantage is in the skid pad, modern stability control won’t let…

Getting down to the dollars and cents is a difficult conversation.

He’s not going to get every tax cut first of all. Secondly the cost to our economy from decrepit infrastructure is almost incalculable. That trillion dollars spent goes almost exclusively back into the American economy with American workers, American…

Sorry, what? How is the AK s symbol of resistance and crime?

The base pay for a road construction worker in Michigan is $22.60 plus benefits and retirement.

Ryan you’re off the rails here.

Infrastructure is a non partisan issue. It’s the backbone of the economy and the previous administrations both Right and Left did us no favors in rebuilding and preserving what we currently have.

instead of over politicizing it, which is hard for you I know, why can’t you present things…

I think this is a red herring to make the build look more accurate.

I’ve seen people try and promulgate much worse here, you never know.

Based on 475 feet per hour and 0.3 gal per hour for an OM617 at idle (educated guessing here) a 404 has 120 liter capacity (31.7 gal) with reserve.

31.7 / 0.3=105.67 hours of running

Uh...no.

You need to relearn F=MA my friend.

I somewhat disagree with you here. Let’s ignore the hard working and offroad roots. What are they? They’re super comfortable vehicles with an abundance of power and a commanding view of the road. If you can afford the fuel I can easily see why you’d want to DD one.

My Titan XD is just as comfortable as my e38 750il in…

In theory you’re right but that’s not how HVAC systems preform and that’s not what people want.

If it’s cold I don’t want 75f I want the air as warm as humanly possible ASAP I’d be ok with actual fire. If it’s 110F I don’t want 68F I want the Night King to teleport into my passenger seat and freeze the air solid.

Humans…

That Tesla crak pipe is some strong shit.

You’re in the few percent of drivers. Most people drive 5-30 miles to work. Sit for 8 hours and drive home. The few times a year you drive over 300 miles in a day you can plan a charge stop or use/rent an ICE. At 300 miles it’s really a non issue.

The Prius is the most important car of our lifetimes (thus far). It’s not as sexy as the Tesla but electrification was going to occur with or without them. Tesla has simply accelerated the timeline to full EVs.

The Prius showed that electrification works in an ICE package and it requires all but zero effort for the…

But if I misunderstand that people don’t die.

Or it just makes the news more often.
