I don’t think many people would claim fondue is “practical”. The entire point is to be ostentatious and absurd. It’s a literal fountain of food.

When I first saw the fail clip I can’t tell you how much I laughed and somewhat cried. I felt for him in that moment. It’s a perfect symbol of 2020. It started out so hopeful. This was gonna be a great and exciting year. Then it got bad and worse with every moment. I can only hope the last 2 months begin to turn the…

He *is* the hero we deserve. And you know what makes this deliciously better? Tasty Hoon (phonetically) means "tasty chicken" in German. Isn't life just great?

Wife and I just sold a 60s house and built new for that reason.

Also: DO NOT FUCKING PARK IN DISABLED PARKING SPOTS UNLESS YOU *ARE* DISABLED!

At this point it’s really not a question of if, but when, the merger of AppleWalmart and AmazonDisney gives us this:

Smarties.

Considering that Slack supposedly stands for “Searchable Log of All Communication and Knowledge”, it really should be easier to find shit in old threads.

That drives me insane. Nobody would blink if you rolled up in a brand new loaded Explorer, but drive a decade old German car you got for $10k and they think you’re Richie Rich.

Good lord. Just make it easier to find shit in old threads and Slack and Kinja will be 100% more usable.

“WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT, WELFARE ABUSING, GOVERNMENT OVERSPENDING IS THIS?! A FUCKING MERCEDES IS DROPPING OFF MY MAIL?! I CAN’T EVEN AFFORD A NEW FUCKING KIA, AND I’M PAYING THAT ASSHOLES SALARY TO DRIVE A MERCEDES?! NO WONDER TRUMP WANTS TO KILL THE USPS, THIS IS BULLLLLSHIITTTTTT”

they were there for the land speed record, I guess it was all part of the development of this product

Quite a bit. Using 85-type battery modules and a small front drive unit from a Model S is probably the most cost-effective approach. The cells in those battery modules are set up with 6 strings of 74 batteries in parallel. You re-wire them to have 3 strings of 128 batteries in parallel, bumping the voltage up to about…

Since I forgot to post a pic.......

I’d be happy with 18650 blocks of 100 or so.

And you’ve got to figure out how to make all the cells sit there safely.

What kits like these need is some kind of modular battery system, like fill up your former engine bay or the volume your fuel tank occupied with battery lego bricks, with some sort of idiot-proof wiring system. there’d be multiple different…

If the total cost of conversion is $30,000 or more, will we still not have an excuse? Because not wanting to sink myself that much further into debt sounds like a pretty reasonable excuse.

I have an 650hp, LSA-powered, 6-speed, pro-touring muscle car with all the bells and whistles, and will absolutely be doing an electric swap in the future. But to say this kit eliminates the excuses ignores the whole cost aspect of an undertaking like this, which is still firmly in early-adopter territory. The kit is…

How is a financial deep dive into a candidate not something that y’all do? Not to see if they are rich, but to see if they, say, owe 400 million dollars to foreign banks and stuff.
