That’s the beauty of the Prius — you can rely on gas when the EV runs out so you don’t need to have a charger at the little league practice field.

My phone manages its charging overnight to slow charge and prolong the life of the battery. Also Li-ion batteries in phones generally should stay in the 20-80% range: that old charge/discharge cycle you heard about is for Ni-mh batteries that have a “memory”. So, plug in your car, plug in your smartphone, plug in your…

The Toyota Prime models are where its at IMO, but getting one has been pretty tough.  I think they would sell a lot more of them if they could stock dealers with them instead of making people wait years.

In terms of MPG, I’m not sure the math would ultimately work out in favor of mild hybrids, particularly in the case of Toyota Prius; but it may likely depend on how you use it. The toyota prius 2024 is being marketed as EPA estimated 57/56 mpg. The Toyota Prius Prime was rated for 53/54 mpg combined. But Prime is also …

YES! Thank you. Everyone should already understand this concept. It’s no different from how you charge your phone. Where does your phone live each night? On the charger! When you wake up, how much charge does it have? 100%! So should your PHEV/EV. If I had a gas pump in my garage I would spend far less time refueling…

As much as I love Home Movies, I actually think Metalocalypse is Brendon Small’s magnum opus (and tied with Venture Bros. as the best original programming Adult Swim has ever aired).

I know it’s a hard sell because not everyone listens to metal (heck, I knew zero about metal before watching the show), but I think a lot…

Yes, they do. Every form of labor benefits from a union. Collective bargaining is a good thing. Job security is a good thing. Health and pension plans are a good thing. I very much appreciate employers who offer reasonable contracts, employee retention, health and pension, etc. But the drawbacks of capitalism demand a…

Jesus Christ dude. Senpai isn’t going to notice you.

Being *proudly* anti-union is the problem, not that they’re just a non-union shop. Also, his asset control system is for absolute shit if they accidentally commit conversion, but you can guess that based on the amount of stuff that ends up at employees houses. They stole that prototype.

Yeah, I kinda EXPECT that ALL of them cut corners in production.  But the environment that Madison paints (and for the record, she isn't just now coming forward with this) is considerably more disturbing.

LTT literally tested a prototype in a way that went against the creator’s explicit instuctions on a wrong GPU (despite Billet Labs providing the GPU on which the cooling block prototype was meant to work - which, as it turns out, was also not sent back to BLL), decided not to correct that in any way, then sold (oh,…

His initial response of “well ACTUALLY we didn’t sell it, we auctioned it” was so spectacularly stupid and ill-advised that it made me actually believe him that he’s doing too much work to actually function.  

The things reported by Gamers Nexus while serious seemed like mistakes, some bigger than others and definitely need correcting. But the whole situation with Maddison seems fucked up and if true would completely sour my perception of LMG as a company and Linus as a person.

Everything is political bro. Saying to keep politics out of something is an inherently political statement so maybe take your own advice?

Just chiming in to say that, as someone who is mixed and immediately saw a bunch of white people doing this shit in mostly European countries (don’t get me started on why they chose Japan), I honestly didn’t detect any rage bait. There’s balance, and, if anything, feels like it gives the streamers the benefit of the…

You’re obviously acting in bad faith, but just for the sake of it, no, this is not how “bait” works. “Bait” would be if I wrote an incendiary headline that dishonestly portrayed the issue, and then prominently exaggerated things in such a way to raise the ire of your ilk.

THANK YOU.

It’s desperately sad, and concerningly telling, that you could perceive this observation as “outrage.” And perhaps you might want to aim your fury at the show you love so much, for making the same point themselves.

friends. i mean cronies

She gets a kickback for the tows. Which is why she called it in and why the tow company waved the fees. Don’t want that to become public knowledge. The reason some cars are allowed to break the rules as well.
