True to a certain extent. However, I was previously working in Chicago for 10 years. The climate in Zurich is almost identical as in Chicago (in fact the last few years have had warmer summers in Zurich than Chicago). Despite this, the insulation normally applied to homes in Chicago is laughable compared to here. This…

I currently work as an Architect in Switzerland. The standard here is roughly 8inches of rigid insulation on the exterior of masonry walls. The level of energy efficiency in construction methods is leaps and bounds beyond what I have been used to from the USA

One of the biggest issues is not even in the R-value of the insulation itself but in the gaps in the insulation installation. Unfortunately in the USA most homes' walls are insulated in between the studs in the walls. This construction creates gaps at the points of the studs. Not to mention poorly detailed door and…

As the UCLA students imagine it, a passenger would arrive at a station and drop her luggage off with a Kiva robot (the kind Amazon uses in its warehouse). She would pass through security on what seems to be a moving sidewalk going under a metal detector, an idea that sounds tricky when you consider how often people in…

What are these pods on both sides of the mail fuselage?!?

I hope it looks like this! I just can't keep my eyes off this beauty!

The King of Random's method of using two bottles seems like overkill though. A better option would be to freeze a bottle upside down first (propping it up with something) while you're still at home, so the liquid freezes near the mouth. Then invert it so it's the right side up, keep it in any corner of your freezer,…

Baking soda neutralizes the PH of your sweat, decreasing the odor-causing bacteria in your armpits and feet. In other words, it's a natural deodorant.

my stand came free with the badger brush.

Agreed

I've seen this for years, but it's usually for an entire manufacturer. This has led me to believe that they remove them to prevent the eventual theft.

While true that the i8 is more of a 2+2 than a 4 person vehicle the dimentions of the car are still quite a bit larger than that of the i3, other than the height of the vehicle that is. I've also seen both in person side by side and the i8 looks significantly larger. Here are the dimensions directly from the source:

the i8 of course.

This is Swiss-german (Germans generally cannot understand the dialect). See my comment for the translation

It has a plausible-ish explanation of why it's being filmed, since some sort of interview was taking place right before. But where did this happen — what language are we hearing at the very beginning? I see a couple Land Rovers way in the background, but can't make out the plates.

What's this? Handbrake?

Is there a desktop version of this photograph?

That looks awesome!

Good point, make it 4 if you want, but that wasn't really the point

It's gotta be blinker fluid
