I have no sympathy for anyone that hasn’t bought an electric car yet.

If electing a bunch of Republicans in November would actually fix that then I could see a point. But it won’t, so the fact that one party wants to turn the country into an authoritarian theocracy is pretty damn salient and ought to be a lot more important to people.

Seriously, how much would it cost for a company-wide subscription to Grammarly?

I think the Countach was built in a shed.

“Recking havoc?”

Yeah, this is what’s confusing me. The spy shots look horrible (even accounting for the deliberate obfuscation of prototype vehicles), and unless they turf the entire program I don’t see how they go from prototype to a “streamliner.”

I’m reluctant to blame the ranger, but man if someone in the desert tells you they’re low on gas you really ought to be sure they can get out.

That’s exactly what I thought. Certainly opening the windows could be response #1. I could see not wanting to run the engine right away, in the event the vehicle is somewhere that carbon monoxide could be a hazard.

Ok, that’s a good point. I’ll waive my no-wheel rule, provided the bag is still soft sided.

If I was in charge I would forbid wheeled and/or hard-shell luggage from overhead bins. Soft bags only. Period. Anything else you have to check.

When I looked into putting an L2 charger in my carport the electrician suggested I could do something similar, but with a relay that ensures only one load is connected at a time. That would be the requirement to meet code, given that the rating of our panel would be exceeded if both were drawing full current at the…

Our gas here in Vancouver, BC, is usually the most expensive in North America, but at today’s prices (about $2.20/liter) it’s only the equivalent of about US$6.50/gal.

Just what we need. More fuel-guzzling private air travel. It’s well past time for the Canadian government to stop subsidizing Bombardier if this is the direction they’re going. (Bombardier would have been out of business decades ago were it not for direct and indirect subsidies.)

I meant intentionally crash the airplane, not use the chute to slow it down.

My first thought was “Don’t go in front of the car!”

This is the Occam’s Razor answer, right here.

This is a smart move by Specialized, and I expect other big players to follow suit. They’ve all pretty much ceded the utility market to upstart manufacturers for the past several years. And they aren’t dumb, they see where the market is growing and want a piece of it.

Yeah, you pretty much have no option but to try. Unless it’s one of those planes fitted with a parachute, in which case you might just get over land, kill the engines and deploy the chute.

They don’t look like 19" in the pics. Maybe it’s a typo?

I saw $2.18 per litre on the weekend in the Vancouver area.
