Neutral: I delayed my mother for a month, but eventually I had to book a flight for early June from NY to Oregon to fix things in her house and drive a recently purchased new SUV back to NY for my sister’s family (I hate explaining this). I booked a nonstop to PDX on Alaska, loving the shortened travel time and that…

Freedom gallons are brilliant, but the math is wrong. Imperial gallons are 1.2 US gallons. Changing to Imperial gallons will increase your mpg by 20%.
3.2 US quarts per US gallon would bring sadness.

I can’t wait before e-AWD is available on more vehicles. Other than the RWD motor which is probably the size of the rear differential, it makes packaging so much easier. Considering how many AWD vehicles shift to FWD except when power is applied, just stuff a battery under the driver’s seat and put that motor in.

With all the wind on the highway, there’s a distinct possibility the powdery rust could have been blown away. It’s important to conserve as much rust as possible for structural integrity!

My brother’s 1993 Toyota pickup has a plywood bed that my dad installed. Saves the actual sheetmetal bed from so much abuse.

Now that’s a unique trio of individuals that would make for some spectacular entertainment. A weird car addled Torch, a rust-addicted Tracy that bathes in penetrating fluid, and well... Fancy Kristen.

There’s a lot of cash that flows through a bar or restaurant. Might I have been paid unknowingly with a counterfeit bill at one time or another? Possibly. Did I then unknowingly pay someone with a counterfeit bill? Possibly.

Yeah, seriously. I could see importing India-market vehicles, but not actually manufacturing in Ghana. There’s entirely too much supplier infrastructure involved. I suppose you could transport containers of parts to be assembled into vehicles in Ghana, but it’s logistically nuts.

5th gear: The grey-market trade in used cars really isn’t the best for the environment and safety of the countries the cars are dumped onto. But a top-down declaration like banning 10+ y/o cars from import might not provide the desired effect of bringing in car companies. Working on increasing the stability of the…

The first mighty labor of the NEMECA will be towing the J10 from Wilmington to the Torch-lair. A crucial structural piece of rust will fall off David’s car and strand it at the docks.

Next thing you know, your tiny trains will be shipping freight to Unicorn Valley.

I told my friends in the past when NYS was ramping up their testing... Don’t panic if the numbers jump significantly due to a major increase in testing. Just realize that we now have proof that coronavirus is more widespread than once believed and make sure you do your part to take precautions.

Running is a high-impact activity, but not bad for you. Those with knee and joint damage would be the exception, but even so, for many a moderate amount of running mixed in with lower impact activities can help. Running helps with bone density and joint strength. There are studies that have shown that long-term…

I like your reasoning. Even with giving Tesla quite a bit of room with engineering advances, there’s a ton of non-battery materials going into the production of any semi. Even at $100/kWh, there’s a lot of truck surrounding the batteries.

I hated Solo, but I have to admit, the Kessel run now made sense. Shorter distance means less travel time... if you also include the hyperspace multiplier on the hyperdrive engines, and the ability to keep going at the max multiplier.

Good points. An expandable (like a Bigelow unit would definitely make longer-duration lunar missions more manageable.

I didn’t see anyone in the comments mention the important conversion. Pao-power as it relates to nurples.

That’s a genius scheme! Go potential energy!

Instead of a one (well 3, I suppose) trick pony, if you have your chef knife and a big metal kitchen spoon, just do the split and pit with the knife, and use the spoon to slice and scoop out the avocado. Using the spoon to quickly shave off single slices like you were using a paring knife on an apple is much easier…

Decks become bulkheads, bulkheads become decks, hatches become doors and vice versa! Fore goes topside and aft goes below decks! Madness!
