Exactly, the fit and finish is “good enough” for most people. Is it luxury quality? Not really, but that’s not what people are expecting.

Definitely didn’t have clearance from Traffic Control.

While cool, I sincerely doubt that Mattel would authorize it.  Not to say someone couldn’t make one anyway, but I would expect a swift Cease and Desist.

Are there any engineers onsite? I know the slope back is much better for aerodynamics, and the drag coefficient is a big factor in extending the distance rating for EVs.

There’s always a balance between practicality and total efficiency.

I don’t know the metrics, but this would seem like a people problem, that can be mitigated by a system, but not necessarily fixed.

But But But..... the autonomy level is highly dependent on the environment that the vehicle is being driven in, is it not? Would you not want the data from Level 2 systems that’s being gathered? I know that they don’t have to be causal of Level 2 leading to Level 5. But how do you get to Level 5 without the data?

I know you think that it’s Ford’s fault, but the Pinto production ended in 1980 - 40 years ago.

But Hangouts video and audio compression are TERRIBLE compared to everything else out there. There were cutting edge when it first came out, but now I avoid Hangouts at all costs. It’s even worse now that Google is discontinuing it and trying to have Gmail chat.

Maybe Newegg didn’t know just yet? Most retailers have return agreements with their vendors for defective products and returns. As established as Newegg is, I’m sure they don’t want to sell a crappy product and risk their reputation and business.

As someone who wipes or switches phones for the family, always back-up your 2FA profiles, or figure out how to transfer before doing a complete wipe. For security reasons, I’m glad these do not auto restore.

As mentioned, there’s a few points that us non-engineers know about.

You can look for mods for a lot of the 4x space games.  Such as this mod for Sins of a Solar Empire.  https://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-interregnum

Out of the X-Wing + Tie Fighter and all of the related games, I do think Tie Fighter was the best in the series. In addition to being a great space sim in its own right, it was one of my first experiences playing the “bad guy”. I’m not sure what other games at the time had you doing that.

If he started from HS, this may not have been a thing that was ever considered or evaluated. Also, not sure he was making any money off the site, but it sounds like it was hosted - maybe he was only breaking even.

I’d say FPS games have had major influence in how I approach guns and what’s appealing. It’s not one game, but I’m sure the collective market has influenced the other.

I was going to ask this. All the reservoirs and damns I’ve been to in California have danger areas clearly marked off to prevent accidents like this.

I can only imagine what led up to the worker getting there to “save” the boat, and then just hanging out for more help...

I did this once jumping my very dead ‘97 Satty. Was just too much in a rush to double check my connections.

1st Gear: First mover advantage. Tesla got so big because no one else was doing it, or at least doing it well. When the roadster came out, we had like the measly leaf, the volt (or bolt?), and toyota was content to punch out the hybrid prius forever. (Don’t quote me, I’m doing this from my old memory).

No no no, you’re getting it all wrong. It’s not for weapons of mass destruction. It’s a weapon against global economies.

Serious question as a non-telsa owner but I’ve been interested.
