The proper measure of wind chill is not expressed as a temperature, but rather as a cooling rate - watts per square meter. That temperature nonsense has to do with how cold it “feels” with moving air compared to still air - and for exposed skin at that.

If you have your own garage or designated spot with a charger, yeah, on a daily basis range shouldn’t be an issue. You’ll have a full charge every morning.

NO NO NO I HAVE A 500 MILES COMMUTE AND NEVER STAY ANYWHERE MORE THAN 3 MINUTES EV HAVE NO FUTURE AND THERE’S NOT ENOUGH LITHIUM CANCEL EV TESLA PANEL GAPS

Why should you have an alignment? Because if you’re driving a Miata, you probably care about driving feel. Here’s the lesson my Miata helped me learn:

I’m 6'2" and go with 170-175s.  Anything longer than that and I have trouble in the glades.  And 170s definitely require folding down a seat.  Of course were I lucky enough to live near the slopes I’d just get a roof rack.

It could be very hard on a diabetic person.

If you buy an EV to go road tripping today you need to get your head checked.”

When run-of-the-mill EVs work seamlessly for both commuting and road trips, we’ll see the electric car revolution. Until then, not so much.

Also because they added 10000lbs to a dilapidated vehicle with already marginal brakes, which along with a thousand other examples of shite mechanical and electrical soundness is why these shit boxes should in fact be outlawed. Sprinter Vans exist and stop when you push the brakes.

Pretty stupid argument. People own Rat Rods because they like them and accept the risks, personal choice.

In college there was a stint on my commute where I could hit max speed on my bike (1x9 29er, couldn’t spin the cranks fast enough to add more speed) in the mid-30s. That was fast enough I couldn’t imagine going 5x that speed.

There are unassisted speed records too. Calm down and appreciate someone who had the guts to go 184 mph on a bicycle. If you think that's not impressive, go look up the unassisted speed records. 

The flip side is that low-income apartments absolutely love to put clauses like this in. They know the tenants don’t have much choice because there aren’t many low-income openings, and they know the tenants won’t fight them legally because they can’t afford it.

Here’s the thing, If someone “who needs a house to live in” doesn’t sign a rental agreement, they are homeless.

If a landlord doesn’t sign a rental agreement, they just find a new customer.

One side is looking for basic human needs and the other is looking for profit. It is an inherently exploitative relationship. Mao

Well, the thing here might be, where’s the line? Do they expect every car to look like it just rolled off the lot? Because that’s absurd. This isn’t a particularly fucked up looking car. And how long does he have to fix it? 24 hours? This is their only car so handing it over to a body shop for a week probably isn’t

Yah, fuck you. People like you enable the economically strong to punish the weak for arbitrary bullshit like this.

I wish Mercedes-Benz would do this with my* 50's era 300SL gullwing.

9 degrees in Texas?
