It’s comforting to know that because I’m white, older and live in the suburbs that I am now a racist asshole.

Just about anyone with an engineering background could have told you the outcome of this test. This is an example of an idea that was thought of by non-technical people, and greenlit by non-technical people.

I don’t know how you guys can stand keeping your house so cold.  I live in Georgia, so summer temps are plenty warm, but I just set the thermostat to 78 when we are home, 80 when we are away.  Any colder than that and I start getting uncomfortable.  We do have ceiling fans in all the bedrooms and living rooms.

I’m sure you can find his old work on youtube if you are feeling nostalgic.

Well, if that’s out of your budget, I was just at the Lego Store yesterday and they have a version of this car. I was looking at it in one of the display cases when one of the employees opened up the case and showed me the functional details. Hood opens to show the straight-6, doors and trunk opens, plus it has…

and they should have had a cheap aluminium wing from a place like AutoZone instead of a painted fiberglass one.

Where did you live back then? Because that doesn’t sound like the west coast scene at all. The import scene was all young guys, primarily with little money so Supras, Z32s, FDs were too new and too expensive for the vast majority of guys. Civics, Integras, Preludes, Eclipses, Accords were far and away the most popular…

Agreed. I like dark wheels on light/bright colored cars and bright wheels on dark cars. Give it some contrast.

Milk is not white because of white blood cells. It is white because of the fats/proteins in it, mostly casein.

I died a bunch of times trying to fight that Lynel, until I discovered that I didn’t need to fight him at all. Just sneak around and collect all the shock arrows that are stuck in the ground and trees. Once you have enough, go back and turn in the quest.

The car has a Georgia plate (Porsche’s US headquarters are in GA).  GA doesn’t require a front plate, so no they aren’t breaking the law.

I don’t know what you are talking about. Moore’s Law doesn’t just apply to any and all electronics, and it especially doesn’t apply to battery chemistry. A BEV with 1200 mile range would be completely pointless too. Why lug around all those pounds of batteries all the time (wasting energy) when they aren’t even being…

I love the fact that when you google “fuel shark”, Jason’s article is the first result.

Pickup/dropoff of kids is a hassle. Thankfully my kids take the bus so I only have to pick up my 1 son from afterschool care when I am getting out of the car anyway.

That’s a great price for an R3. I was hemming and hawwing over whether or not to get an R3 or not. They were going for about $27k when I was shopping (though a few were still $34k). The Sports were going for ~$23k. I hadn’t sat in the Recaros and was worried about whether or not they would be comfortable, so decided…

When did you buy your RX-8? I too bought one of the last new RX-8s in the country, a 2011 Sport in July 2012.  I think there were ~15 new RX-8s left nationwide at the time.

I’ve voiced my hatred of Ford numerous times but my ‘99 F150 was great and the ones I bought in the following years were good as well. It’s in the late ‘00's that Ford quality really took a dive.

There are over a million road deaths in the US (an average of over 3000 a day) and only a tiny fraction of them get reported. One AV gets into an accident and it goes viral.

There are sizable film industries in several states/cities nowadays. Beyond LA and NYC, Atlanta has a sizable film industry and New Mexico has a fair bit considering its population.

I’m surprised at seeing this article because I assumed this was a much more widespread problem based on my experience. I have 2 sets of Joycons, and it happens to both sets, both times on the lefthand joycon. The system was barely a year old when it started.  I’ve lived with it so far, but am about to sttempt to fix…
