Did something similar, thought it would be cool to the the Knight Rider swoosh on my ‘96 F150, and had it match the blue paint...

For that generation of F-150 this particular would be considered essentially rust free.

And all DJI units are registered with a DJI account to be fully unlocked. You can’t just pull open a $12-18K drone out of the box and fly it across quite a large body of water. If stolen it would have definitely been serial registered at some point, if not US or Can FAA (sorry I don’t know the name of it in Canada).

Please look up definition for satire.

As others have said, there would be no real effect.

Sure is illegal:

I think most people are seeing both car and truck do intentionally aggressive illegal acts to each other. Sure, you can assign a score to level of assholery if you feel like it - but the Raptor could have just of easily gone into the cliff face or sent another passerby into it as well.

So true, even from the logistics standpoint it makes the most sense to be as energy agnostic as possible. Use electricity for everything if you are planet hopping - it’s not like you are going to transport dino juice off planet or mine, purify and transport from another world. Hell, do other worlds even have oil like…

I first thought it was a Mach-E they forgot to finish painting. From the nose to electron plug filler placement it’s uncanny.

There are about 400 of those old EV Rangers on the market from the early/mid-2000's. Someone above talked about them, a mechanic above said there are about 200 in a fleet in New Orleans still.

You are pushing against current physics there, you would have to have a trailer with batteries just to get enough. As you add battery weight you lower towing capacity and start getting diminishing returns. Batteries are super efficient at max, but only hold 1/3rd energy capacity as dino juice.

Oh, that’s the easy part.  They are looking to dig over Indian burial site grounds in Nevada to start.  It’s the modern boom - no time to slow down for any other sake!

You are describing an EV fleet truck, and no one buys those unless you are buying a fleet. And a lot of bells and whistles you are describing are actually cheaper now than manual due to modern production and mass scale.  To make manual windows for instance you have to almost reach out to boutique houses to make them…

That is the North American total predicted IHS builds.  We haven’t hit that number since 2019.

*only talking

And that sucks, because in general (excepting the last gen Intel Mac’s here) Apple’s build quality is pretty outstanding. I still have a couple of 1st gen iPad Air’s working the same as day one in the family, Mac Mini that has lasted a decade, and Mac Pro I recently upgraded to max out for my music production friend…

Welcome aboard, although it’s not in your wheelhouse - but any improvement in how the comments section works would be great. I imagine a lot of the people comes back again and again due to the rich community it has gathered - even the ones in the greys.

So close and yet so far. They need to add serial lock-downs to the FTC order, its does absolutely nothing for safety and it allows companies to absolutely track every part of your device and disable anything it wants at any time - even after you have bought it!  Louis Rossman is going to love this bit.

He is such a delightful weirdo, really digs into these topics.

Yup, you can think of these much like the old window AC’s - but with a trick that can run “the opposite way” pushing heat inside and cold outside.
