Or, they had a stuck caliper piston and the pads were dragging which caused them to become glazed. The regenerative braking does a lot of the stopping in normal driving so it went unnoticed (the same issue with a second car makes this incredibly unlikely though, and seems to point in the direction of a software issue).

There are always ways to offset the burden on the poor. To offset the increased fuel costs we could enact a tax rebate system where we just give back some of the money while still providing incentives to reduce fuel usage and demand.

There are 85mph speed limits here in Texas, just watch out for feral hogs.

This only works if you actually know how to build a toaster...

Magnus Carlsen is the top rated human chess player. He was born in 1990 and ever since he learned to play chess, there was a computer that could beat him. Computer (AI) chess programs play chess at a higher level than the best human players and have invented novel approaches to play that baffle the best human players…

Flight 93 crashed killing everyone aboard... so it is the perfect metaphor for the Trump administration.

I’m headed to MSR-H with my BRZ for a trackday on Saturday, It’ll be my first time running there (I’ve done a couple of autocrosses there but never driven the full track without cones).

Well, according to the Republicans, you shouldn’t appoint new justices until after the election. Trump is currently campaigning so it wouldn’t be right to let him appoint any new justices...

Probably due to the season switch to summer blends, whenever they change to or from one to another it is somehow a surprise and causes price increases.

It’s called a “teachable moment”.

As a BRZ owner, I can assure you that you can jump ahead of anyone who isn’t actively trying to race you. Slow and low horsepower are all relative. With the short gearing and lightweight of the BRZ you can get a pretty respectable 60ft time (at the last prosolo I managed consistent 60' times of under 2.2s).

I’ve got an UEL, both cure the torque dip and there aren’t huge difference between any of the headers. I’ve got a JDL UEL catless and ceramic coated, the ACE headers make the most power and torque but are also the most expensive. We’re talking like 3hp, which is within dyno noise.

The 2017 refresh helped with the torque dip, but really you have to get a header and a tune to cure it (the car feels great afterwards, but I could not go back to a ‘13-16 without a header and tune).

I hope all those unionized robots are excited about their increased manufacturing loads. Automation is coming for the jobs, not immigrants or cheap foreign labor (cheap labor will delay but not deter automation).

Imagine how dangerous this test would have been if it had been graded on a curve.

$1,916,327 (8.9 percent) on tires.

The tape didn’t propose any political aim or agenda, so this isn’t yet terrorism. Now, if they find any political, racial, or religious motivation, then this would be terrorism.

As soon as we get the “in pursuit of political aims” part, then it is terrorism. As of now, we just have the violence and intimidation part. I totally agree that as soon as we get some “political aims” stuff, this guy should be called a terrorist.

I hesitate to label this as terrorism until we have an ideology or motive. The later, less target bombs threw off the original hate crime/terrorism vibe and until/unless we learn about an ideological impetus for the crimes the terrorism label is a bit of a stretch.

Yes, for over 50 years there has been an Outer Space Treaty but it only prohibits weapons of mass destruction, claiming territory in space, and conducting military exercises on the Moon and other celestial bodies.
