The other crazy thing there is inside the valve itself. The sealing plate inside the check valve is held closed by a spring and by the air pressure inside the tire. At speed, that plate will also weigh 2,900 times its initial weight.

The U.S. has by far the best medical care in the world, bar none.

Whoosh...

The center of mass is practically at the floorboard thanks to the heavy battery being the bottom of the car, so that certainly helps cornering.

For anyone who ever gets the chance to do one of these Tesla demo ride-alongs, please put Google’s Science Journal app on your phone so you can record the acceleration and get us quantitative data.

Don’t eat it.

Do you at least magnaflux your boiler every dozen fortnights?

What’s your preferred boiler temperature? Some guys like 1,300ºF, but I prefer 1,230ºF. I don’t like what 1,300ºF does to the welds over time.

Simple. US sales will go down. The rest of the world (which is a bigger, better market than the US - Shh...don’t tell Trump!) will continue to buy them, and the US will continue to lose international credibility.

Add F1-style electric turbos too!

Every car should have aux switches preinstalled instead of stupid delete panels. Someone get Torchinsky working on the rant screed.

Absolutely. If it only ever runs at a specific speed and load, the intake and exhaust ports can probably be designed to have zero overlap. That alone will do wonders for emissions and efficiency.

Yep. Your country is 100% fucked and there is no way to fix it. Good luck.

The only thing that stands even a slight chance of making anything better is Universal health care.

On a scale of White Banker Who Tanked the Economy to Black Dude Who Got High This One Time, how in jail are the perpetrators?

Remember, more than 50% of Dodge Neons (and related products) had welds replaced by hand due to the self-shielding flux-core wire fiasco.

Headline typo. P110D isn’t a thing. P100D is.

Dogs. Hell yeah. In fact, lots of dogs are racist themselves.

NPR podcasts. That is all.
