thusfar, everything humans have put in orbit, including the ISS, isn’t totally outside our atmosphere. That means over time, the orbit of any object will degrade. Typically for satellites, this is a pretty short time - there have probably been telecom satellites launched and crashed within the span the ISS has…

My thought would be a single manufacturing plant with a dedicated platform line that splits at the point someone wanted to “marry” the body to frame. Basic “Y” design.

VW has been adamant that Scout would not run on an existing VW platform. Which is good, because their existing platform is pretty “meh” and totally unsuitable to be an off-road competitor with Bronco and Wrangler.

Scout: Powered by Rivian

The big downside if that happens is the loss of CarPlay/Android Auto.

I hope VW inherits Rivian’s UI rather than the other way around....

This is the first time that I think the Scout will actually happen.

While I cant be certain, I have a feeling a big impetus of this sentence was the wife’s insistence on not pressing charges or in any way supporting any incarceration. TMK, they haven’t even divorced, but stay married.

I hope you get the help and support you need and that you can find a bit of happiness in the world as you work through this. 

I have MDD.

It kinda reminds me of a concept for the next GTR

Yeah, this is an important distinction. If I go to the grocery store, I literally have no choice but to bring home all sorts of plastic bottles. Milk, juice, condiments, produce, bread, yogurt, meats...it’s all contained in plastic. Now the burden is on me to properly sort, clean (if possible) and drop everything off…

The smartest thing the oil companies ever did was to invent the term “Carbon Footprint” and shift the pollution blame to individuals.

A Swiss miss

I am somehow not surprised that the Swiss permitting system has holes in it.

This whole take is ridiculous. If I wrote this, I’d be ashamed to put my name on it.

People are pissed when Police seize clearly innocent peoples things. This is a different story. Repeatedly breaking the law with seemingly endless documentation, they could have and should have taken his car a long time ago.

Arrest him. Tow and crush his car. How fucking hard is that to figure out?

The Santa Cruz is one of those vehicles I’d answer for a QOTD prompt about a car that you irrationally kind of like. Like, I can’t foresee a circumstance where I’d ever own one, but I also kind of like something about the way they look. I had similar feelings when the Kona debuted. Just funky enough in the right ways.…

Alright, look. I’m going to stick up for the Santa Cruz. 98% of the time or more, I don’t need a full-sized bed and the “baby bed” is the right size for chucking some outdoor gear in the back or picking up some bagged mulch from Home Depot. Towing capacity is also perfectly sufficient. If I were in the market, a…
