Why would the teleporter require a drain for waste? Setting aside the health implications of instantly voiding ones bowels and bladder, why bother leaving the waste behind in its original state? Surely the waste must be in the pattern buffer before it’s separated so the teleporter could just teleport it somewhere else.…

Regarding the EPA’s statement on the pollution emitted by gliders, see this NEPIS document.

No no no, clearly tariffs that only target the automotive sector aren’t enough, therefore Trump is considering tariffing all the things.

Those are the figures quoted by the EPA when they proposed limits on glider production. The document actually quotes 5000 units polluting as much NOx and PM as 200 000 emission compliant 2014 vehicles.

Just to add, by Jan 1, 2020 all shipping fuel will be low sulfur (no more than 0.5% sulfur by weight, down from the current limit of 3.5%) including low grade bunker fuel. The 2020 rules are also very strict in designated emission control areas so ships will need to have emission control systems added, such as…

The EPA estimates prior to the Obama rule were that about 2% of new truck sales are gliders, but those 2% of trucks pollute as much in a year as the remaining 98% of trucks sold with modern emission equipment. I think that it’s worthwhile to keep those 2700 trucks off the road since they’re emitting as much pollution a…

Holy shit, Python makes cars now!?  When did this happen?

Isn’t it obvious that they’re targeting Musk? Sure he’s an automaker CEO and made one of the most egregious statements possible, but I’m sure that if Mary Barra started calling people the N word on Twitter it wouldn’t make headlines. It’s not as if other CEOs are taken to task based on their public statements.

According to the EPA, gliders make up about 2% of new truck sales each year (so about 5000 trucks annually), but those 2% of new trucks account for nearly 50% of the total emissions for all new trucks sold each year. The Obama rule that Pruitt overturned was attempting to limit sales to 300 units per year.

Does the Senna have some sort of adaptive suspension? It riding much higher than I would expect in that 3/4 profile pic.

Gliders make up 2% of new truck sales yet the EPA estimates that gliders account for half of all new truck emissions. Gliders are indeed a problem, regardless of whether there are larger pollution sources out there.

You know what? I’m completely fine with companies restoring vehicles regardless of how bad they were. How many cars have been lost to history because nobody bothered to keep one running? I wonder if, somewhere out there, somebody’s daily driving the last running example of a bad car and doesn’t even realize it.

It seemed to be the prevailing opinion on the internet at the time. I did see a lot of recommendations for Ninjas as well, but never saw a mention of a Nighthawk (outside of generic suggestions to buy a cheap, used bike because you were going to lay it down soon anyway). In the end I never went for my license…

You say that Buell was treated as a cool, exclusive brand, but 10 years back I was looking at getting my motorcycle license and it was hard to get a recommendation for a starter bike that wasn’t a Buell Blast.  It was also nearly the only way to get close to an HD bike for people who weren’t interested in the HD…

The main issue is that organizers behind the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix take three months out of the year to set up and tear down for a race that lasts one weekend.

50 km/h over is automatically a stunting charge in Ontario. The driver’s license is suspended and the vehicle is impounded. The law came into effect after a spate of street racing deaths.

If this game’s anything like Viscera Cleanup with better physics, I’m in. I try so hard to like Viscera Cleanup Detail but sometimes the janky physics make it more frustrating than fun.

It’s crazy to think that Trump wants to do away with all tariffs, yet he tears up existing deals and imposes unilateral tariffs if a trading partner disagrees with dropping tariffs on a single item. NAFTA allowed free trade of many items yet there were still a few items that were tariffed so the whole deal was thrown…

For the uninitiated, Staplefahrer Klaus:

My guess, given the voltage, is that they’re using a CCS standard plug. If so, it uses a SAE J1772 plug and signalling alongside a DC plug for fast charging.
