As Dead Elvis said, there’s not actually a lot of casualties when it comes to bus accidents, since they tend to outweigh everything else by a considerable margin. A bus going headon with a sedan is barely going to bump the occupants of the bus. Short of hitting another large vehicle (Bus, cement truck, semi) or a…

Regular buses and coaches are designed for travel efficiency, primarily optimizing fuel and tire use. Those type of units are required to travel at constant typically highway speeds for extended periods of time, so as a builder you would want to optimize the chassis overall efficiency.

There are hundreds of jobs I can’t imagine doing for 8 hours a day, but millions of people do them, every day, for years, because they earn a living from it. Even entertainment jobs like this one have been around for decades — jobs where you’re spending hours a day entertaining and interacting with random strangers in…

On top of that, she was $20,000 in debt because her stream setup, especially the mocap suit, did not come cheap.

I always get concerned when a media community says the biggest draws are that the host is “unfiltered”, “unrestrained” and “is a dick that trolls a lot”, because those tend to be the calling cards for conservative bigots. An especially big red flag is that her popularity and donations jumped when she added the ability…

I don’t watch Twitch regularly. I have never really understood the appeal. However, I accept that I don’t need to. This remains true for CodeMiko. There’s an audience here, and people should be mostly free to enjoy what they enjoy.

But this article is interesting to me because of the technology and production. I…

I just can’t get over the idea that the average streamer is expected to be on air for 8 hours a day. Not even old radio DJs or news show people ever did anything that long.

You’d think so, but “collisions, as a factor contributing to ignition, resulted in 5 percent of all highway vehicle fires” https://www.usfa.fema.gov/downloads/pdf/statistics/v19i2.pdf

Right?? literally 17 gasoline cars per hour catch on fire in the US, more than all of the Konas to have ever caught on fire since their release

don’t know... One of the things I personally actually despised about some of the older mainstream titles is the meme-quality content of having say 30 Skylines or 20 Civics.

A guy asks for something unique and two staff recommend BMWs?!?!?

2015 Jaaaaaag F-type R. Low mileage ones go for around $50k. No manual, but probably one of the best exhaust sounds out there.

I am disappointed in all of you. There is a history of bad decisions here and to reinforce that I submit the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. Bonus is that there are probably almost none anywhere near there.

COVID is the big reason, but it goes through a lot of channels to create a lot of smaller direct reasons.

I mean, trying to beat the bots (and other shoppers) to a GPU or CPU when they’re in stock is basically a lottery anyway, you’re just hoping that your shopping cart is the magical lucky one that actually gets through checkout in the mere seconds you have to buy after the stock goes up. But bundles? WTF? Why? What if I…

Japanese retailers have been doing this for over a decade with hard to find things. It has curbed a lot of resellers there. With online bots snagging everything hard to find on Amazon and other online retailers, I say it at least takes some of their power away.

Apples to oranges

The article is poorly written in typical Jalopnik fashion, but Tesla’s current valuation makes zero sense. They would have to ramp up production to 40M cars a year, which is about half the world’s output of cars, and 4-5x what the biggest car companies in the world do. With conventional ICEvs that aren’t constrained…

Market cap is not the same as “the amount of money the stock market has put into it(tesla)”. Market cap is the current combined valuation of all shares based on current price. But the vast majority of those shares were purchased at an earlier date/lower price, or were even given for $0 cash as equity awards to Musk…

Tesla stock is divorced from earnings, either current or future. It is worth what it is because people are willing to buy it and people are willing to buy it because they are confident that someone else will be willing to buy it for more at a later date. Tesla is a car company. Tesla stock is cryptocurrency. That…
