One of the downfalls of brilliance is assuming everyone is non-essential other than yourself. Tesla’s purged a lot of very talented engineers and business people. It’s really evened out the playing field, thankfully. Industry needs more investment capital... talent is out there dispersed that just needs a common…

Musk has shown a considerable childish behavior with his hostile approach to anyone that doesn’t agree with him. The angered media, frustrated owners, disillusioned investors, and displaced inventors, all have been collateral damage of his selfishness and self promotion. Why would this be any different?

Musk continues to live up to my expectations of his engineering and manufacturing experience including a crony capitalist mindset.

If you purchase a supplier to your own company and your competitors you do not cut off your competitors. You continue to get a piece of what they make.. They pay full cost plus margin you…

As a farm kid, with a pickup, with BF Goodrich KO2s, nothing pisses me off more than rednecks and people who go “mudding” for fun. They do it in someone’s field, and they mess up the compaction of the ground, which hurts the crop’s final production at the end of the year. Or they go on someone’s back dirt road when…

I was going to guess mirrors.

“What PPE should I wear for this job?”

This is true. I am looking for a 7-9k used car and cannot find much that is either fun or interesting. I could get an off lease Fiesta or something like that. Or a sketchy VW product (MKVI GTI’s and CC’s are tempting)

but league still has a 1 or 2 week period before the players use the new patch for lcs

I’ve always loved the CTSCC because of the sheer diversity in the feild, All of the cars look, sound, and drive distinctly different. Its a classic case of one cars strengths playing against the others, the nissan had more straight line power but came up short to the little porsche in the bends. Not entirely unlike…

Planes just aren’t as cool as back in the day. Nothing will ever be as awesome as the Conwing l-16 I’ll never get a chance to fly.

GTE is built within (relatively tight) regulations and the minor differences are then balanced out via the Balance of Performance (BoP).
GT3 is “do whatever you want, but in a pre-season test, everyone gets balanced”. That means equal competition between the heavy and powerful cars and the light and less powerful cars.

The original plan was that 2016 was going to be their last year. For 2016, though, they changed that to add traction control and data loggers to the PC cars, and when they did that they added the extra year to spread the costs out a bit.

Actually, emissions from small engines are really bad. Most are 2-stroke and burn oil in addition to fuel. The 4 strokes are slightly better, but raw emissions are still terrible. There’s an article on edmunds that did a comparison between a Fiat 500, an F150 raptor, a 2 stroke leaf blower, and a 4 stroke leaf blower.…

Yes, we do. No sensors on the plane though. We use average weights for each passenger and bag. That count you see the fight attendants do isn’t just to make sure everyone’s onboard. It tells us where the people are. We add that to the cargo load and send away via ACARS for numbers. If we’re out of the safe envelope,…

First of all the design is sort of all over the place. Its like a Mazda had sex with a Maserati and the outcome wasn’t great. Second, Kia needs to redesign their logo. While the current design worked great for shitty econo-cars it now looks goofy and out of place on cars like this.

Is anyone reading between the lines here? This means Ford does not expect the market growth it did before, therefore rather invest in some new tooling and expansion, instead of opening up a new plant, that would produce for multiple countries, at the same time making a good PR piece, with little impact on the real…

In order for fan service to feel like it deserves to be in the anime, the anime itself has to be somewhat decent. If the story isn’t good and the only thing that’s going for it is fan service without good character development or even great comedy then it’s going to fail.

Preach it! Sunroofs/moon roofs should be an individually deletable option on all make/model/trims. I need that 1.5 inch of headroom that gets eaten by the now ubiquitous “luxury” moonroof.

*crying* Please read this pdf showing that statistical analysis can provide enough reason to suspect election fraud.
