He has the concept of a plan to deal with this by warming everything up so no more snow 

This is a common misconception based on an incomplete picture of the forces at play.

On ice, larger contact patch is generally not what you want. Larger contact patch leads to reduced lbs/square inch, which is key to maintaining static friction.

“What’s the opposite of a Carolina Squat?”

“Please make sure that it is in the upright and LOCKED position, thank you,”

I don’t need to know what’s in each trim package, I’ll be reading it off the detailed placard on the other side of the ‘do not touch’ rope at every cruise and Cars ‘n’ Coffee for the next few decades.

Here’s a handy pic showing the difference:

You hit the nail on the head. The Y always looked off to me, and that’s exactly it. It’s too tall for how short it is.

The Model Y is ugly.  It literally looks like a model 3 that was vertically scaled by 1.5.  Same with the X.

I just starting reading the books in order actually and am through the first two (Casino Royale and Live & Let Die), and you are spot on!  I mean, just wow. Not to mention, in the books, Bond never actually does...anything. He is constantly captured, anyone who had the misfortune of becoming his friend or partner is…

I still prefer him to Musk!

As much as I would like to believe your first two sentences, Bond himself could also be considered a racist, woman-hating moron (for most of his iterations)

the Vegas Loop can handle“For comparison, around 4,000 passengers per hour traveling through the tunnels in Tesla cars”

Math doesnt add up. Assume each direction has half the 4000 passengers. 2000 passengers one way, divide by 4 per car, means 500 vehicles per hour. Given there are 3600 seconds in an hour, means a car must leave every 7.2 seconds. Really?

ProPublica has been knocking it out of the park lately.  This story, the car tows in Connecticut, the mole that infiltrated a few militias.  Really excellent reporting that needs to be more common in America, especially over the next four years.

Musk, Trump, Thiel, et al. are megalomaniacal psychopaths. James Bond would be sent to kill every one of them.

As a university professor, I will say that teaching undergraduate snotlings is never repetitive because every year those beasts find new and inventive ways to make life frustrating. It’s like driving an Alfa.

This is more a QC issue at the plant than a worker issue.
