I was in Kyoto this spring during peak cherry blossom season, so probably about as bad it gets for tourism, In all the more touristy areas the city was bursting at the seams, like so many people the sidewalks couldn’t contain them. The city needs to start working on solutions RIGHT NOW or they’re going to have some…

Neutral: require a special (expensive) license for vehicles over a certain dimension & weight, but with an exception for people who can prove that they need it for their work. At the least it might reduce the number of suburbanites doing 6 point turns in the parking lot because their Canyonero is too big for their…

It’s really not out of that out of line with other workstations. There’s a significant price difference on true pro grade hardware like Xeons and ECC ram. These are meant to be able to run pegged at 100% utilization for loooooong periods of time without failing.

1 - It’s about damn time they had a proper tower.

I’d be interested in knowing what their parts network in India is like, that’d make the difference between it being a toy and usable transportation.

it probably doesn’t help that the most vocal and easy to see parts of car culture are populated almost exclusively by jackasses. 

I’m 6'4" like a number of others here, and reclining has 100% never been an issue for me in economy class. I stretch my legs out under the seat in front of me, and if I need to slide the tray table forward. Leg space is only ever an issue when underneath the seat in front of me is blocked. And fuck yes I’m reclining…

Can’t wait to see people adding more speakers instead of louder pipes! But really tho, if the range on this is really under 100 mi it’d be a real bummer. That would put it squarely in the fancy toy category. Even if it has fast charging, who wants to stop every hour to plug in your bike? Seems a little antithetical to…

Mexico also has a soda tax. From what I understand it’s been very effective, the difference is it’s nationwide. A tax will never be terribly effective if people simply need to drive to a different county to buy their drinks.

The current model Prius is a real clusterfuck of styling with it’s weird long low angle hatch. The 2nd gen, 3rd gen, C, and V all have more proper hatches.

The parking lot at my job has plenty of of high trim level giant trucks that are always inexplicably clean. With the giant cabs and tiny beds they sure aren’t moving much in them, but I imagine they at least do some towing. The plus side is they all have to leave a space on either side in order to park without doing a…

Can confirm, a Prius is honestly pretty darn great in the winter.

Granted it’s been awhile since I’ve used it, but last time I tried Inkscape it was pretty much unusable as a illustrator alternative. The ui was somehow worse than the gimp, and transferring files out of illustrator was a total nightmare. I would totally recommend Gravit (free but kinda limited on features) or…

I hate to say it but he did one thing very much right, he named his new software Copilot instead of something misleading like Autopilot.

Sound quality is just a part of the problem with bluetooth headphones. Bt adds cost, a battery the needs to be charged, and 100% will fail in a handful of years either due to the battery, changing standards, or shoddy hardware. Unless you’re only buying cheap headphones I don’t see how the minor convenience of not…

Disclaimer - 100% not a truck guy. Why in the world do they need 16345 different trim levels with major cosmetic differences? It seems like getting the majority of the stuff right once, and having variations on that would make a whole lot more sense.

As a lifetime Michigander there’s more or less 3 good cities in here and Detroit is probably the best of em, take that as you will.

Soooo, is the 4 banger version actually for anyone? If you’re buying a new truck spending the $1-$2k to upgrade to a larger engine with no significant drawbacks seems like a no brainer.

I’d love to see a break down of regular gas taxes, vs this new legislation combined with states like Michigan that have increased registration fees on electric and hybrid cars. I really don’t like the idea of potentially paying more in taxes by getting double dipped.

If you have some magic solution to increasing revenue while reducing revenue I’m sure the whole planet would love to hear it. The military is a huge chunk of the budget, no amount of cuts in other areas can feed that beast.
