This new one is supposed to use graphene supercapacitors

That would be absolutely horrible in Southern California. I can’t imagine what that car would be like to open the door on a typical SoCal day. Normal cars with some covered area, get up to 150 degrees in the sun here.

No opinion on the remake itself. But a network NEVER airs a show it believes in on a Friday night. Friday night is where television executives send shows they hate to die.

Suppose science is full of physics related tulpas, and just realizing it’s possible greatly increases the likelyhood of it happening?

Would suck if we discovered it was coming at us just when we got started with FTL travel. OTOH, with FTL travel you can outrun it for a long time.

Sucks if you happen to be in the timeline where this event takes place in the multiverse.

That’s assuming those aren’t sub-universes of one that is wiped out by that.

Heh. I think that was my point. Interrupt the circuit with the fuse, instead of pulling the fuse.

They should call it the Catamaran.

Well, the GT-R is sort of near it’s life plateau, and the NSX is at the bottom of its upward trajectory curve. It’s like the first year water cooled 911 compared to the last year air-cooled one. “Well, 10 horsepower isn’t much of an increase, for all that water path bullshit.” But that was just the start.

Any first…

I’m so sorry.

You could go a step further and put a switch on it, so when needed you can go into “stealth mode” without having to get out of the car and put a fuse in.

You have plenty of time to work on getting into your next career. At least 10-15 years. No one works in one thing for life anymore, no matter how specialized they are.

Have you heard of the “hydrogen economy?” That is being pushed by the oil companies, because it would allow them to keep their finger in the pie.

I’ve had “worse” Android phones than iPhones for years now. And I’ve always been perfectly happy with them.

If you want an iPhone, get an iPhone.

Otherwise, I feel like people with these sorts of comparitive envy problems are like people driving a McLaren, and complaining that their car doesn’t sound like or handle exa…

Is it time to let cherished principled ideals that we didn’t fully understand, be looked at as the frauds they are? Notions that were enabled only by the limitations imposed by technology?

The reason we see hate speech and bullying now...is because we didn’t allow it until now. Because in truth, we never really…

This is all well and good for people who live in an apartment above a market and can buy fresh tomatoes every day. The rest of us can’t always eat the tomatoes we buy within three days of buying them.

Nice to know that people with this luxury can eat tastier tomatoes than the rest of us.

Some people describe Mike Pence as warm and mild mannered. And he would make a pretty good ruthless Christian dictator to the LGBTQ, women, non-Christians and the working class of color.

I’d assume those would be required for “legacy cars” at some point. I’d also guess that cars with electric steering racks would be convertible.

But the cities of the future will outlaw non-fully-autonomous cars from their roads to alleviate traffic and to enter a new era of traffic control where whole lines of stopped…

Well, since planes are out of the question right now, that’s a moot point. I wasn’t saying that shipping them by UPS truck isn’t the right solution under the circumstances, just that while those are being shipped it increases the odds of my shipments not making it to their destination. Fortunately, those can be…
