Which is largely going to be irrelevant because here’s a fun little nugget of detail about SDCC: It sells out in like six hours every year, and tickets go on sale slightly after the previous comic con ended. This one has been sold out for months. Oh and the badges are non-refundable after some date in May. Even if…

A machine that can cease functionality because someone took three seconds to put a traffic cone on it and then can only be restarted by having a third party physically come out to remove the cone seems like a machine that doesn’t need to be on the road to begin with.

Crystal clear, 4K video of the sticky side of the tape.

A wood-burning oven is the traditional oven to make pizza. More places might use gas ovens than wood-burning, but that doesn’t make gas ovens traditional.

A single torpedo is all it would take.

RMS, not HMS. Please correct that headline.

Ok, so this:

Private pilot here. That first flight is easy. There’s so much work that goes into getting from there to your first solo. Average is about 60 hours.

As to the original question, after “which button would you hit first?”, the first thing I looked for was the radios (plural).  And I found them.  And the first thing I’d…

Takeoffs are optional, landings are mandatory 

Spokesman? Yea, I’m sure lots of people with financial interest in fossil fuels are just chilling on Gizmodo. No, just a person with common sense that see’s the reality. Clean renewable energy is great, but simply can’t provide for humanity needs yet.

This is what happens when you bum rush renewals and green energy and keep shutting down Nuclear and relatively clean natural gas plans. We need to go green, but not at the expense of an unstable power grid.

My companies main business is decommissioning/plugging Abandoned or orphaned oil and gas wells. The cost is covered by the Texas Railroad Commission from the funds they collect for every permit to drill that is issued. The problem with getting this done in a timely basis is because of the EPA. The various permits take…

Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli had reached a similar conclusion 30 years earlier.

Lithium and cobalt mining is to electric cars what fracking is,to gasoline cars, neither path is without cost and people who claim BEVs will “save the planet” are lying. Ultimately the way to save the environment is ride a bicycle instead of driving a car.

It’s clear that we need a better understanding of how climate change is impacting our electricity supply.

So many questions about passkeys that it seems to me way too early just go for them when there are no longer password backups:
1. What if you lose your primary device? How do you access your account to block the passkeys.
2. I daily use three different devices (Linux desktop, Android phone and an iPad) so how do my…

RIP Souplantation.

How about do it by GVWR.  The weight more than anything is the damaging part of the roads.  Incentivizing OEM’s to get lighter seems like a good move.  Also, moving people out of giant bro trucks seems like it might make sense.

Another good idea poorly executed. A better and more fair option would be to delete the gas tax and make both types pay a per-mile-driven tax based on weight and size. If you want to encourage ev adoption, keep the gas tax but call it a carbon tax and use those proceeds for healthcare.

I just don’t trust the state to not take more than they need. The last thing I need, is for my car to go down to 20% battery and then an emergency happens to where I have to leave perhaps to someplace far during that bi-directional time. (I’ve already had to evacuate 3 times before several years ago due to fires)
