There’s at least one website out there publishing a whopping 6,990 lbs curb weight. Combine that with near top of class (well, this list) HP and clearly top of class (again, this list) torque, and you have your 16/19/17 fuel economy, if that’s true about the weight. Seems spectacularly high and only one website had it…

I don’t even think the 2003 version looks very Persian, or at least not a 9th century A.D. Persian.

Technically, this is the third $3,500 VR/AR headset that has solved this problem (Hololens being #1 & 2). Plus, digital passthrough has been a thing is most VR headsets since way back when people were sticking Galaxy phones into goggles. 

Avatar 2 as a movie is mediocre at best, but on a sheer VFX level, the world building, lighting, and physics are currently unparalleled in my opinion. Character design and faces still have some uncanny valley for me, but the rest is just insanely good. Hell, even the original still holds up in the visual department,…

There are a lot more considerations if the nuclear reactor has the ability to traverse 70% of the planet as opposed to being a constant fixed location. Loss of control of the vessel, for one instance, would be a far greater issue than a standard propulsion ship. Emergency protocols or even the ability to respond at…

Driver’s side 4 window control is probably a American demand of car companies. Throwback feature from when the entire family would file into the family truckster on road trips to Wally World, and dad would lock the rear windows on the kids so they wouldn’t fall out. Would still allow him to roll them down an inch or…

Pfst!!! ***laughs in four Doom floppy disks***

I find it odd that you’d make this out to be a consumer fault. This is government and corporations setting the table for this scenario, decades upon decades ago. Consumers might perpetuate it, but it would take government to stop it now by eliminating laws that allow them to pay like $3/hour base.

I agree the tipping system in America is broken and the expectation that the customer make up the difference in a livable wage for the corporation while they brag to the market about each quarter’s billions in profit is just wrong. But that said, I still do tip, particularly if the place is small, local, and has great…

“The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.”

The climate controls are software, no? That’s one area I’d still prefer to have physical buttons. But maybe I’m different than most there, as I futz with climate a lot during trips.

I accidentally saw part of it and it nearly traumatized me. I’m an 80's child. Grew up with Indiana Jones. Had a got damn licensed fedora when I was 7. Crystal Kull almost retroactively killed my childhood. I refuse to acknowledge that movie is part of this series.

Domestic carriers might have partially caught up on the J hard product, but are still lightyears behind international carriers on soft product and service. God forbid you press the call button in a non-emergency scenario after meal service. You’ll be met with a surly FA who considers the rest of the flight their…

They already do that for the “free, use your own device” IFE. Before any programming, there’s an unskippable commercial. To be fair, all airlines with the “use your own device” do this, but I can’t see that going anywhere with these screens.

You’re not wrong about Spider-Gwen being a 2014 creation, but “Gwen Stacy” in general has been a character since the 60's, and has always been either a female love interest/triangle background theme or death fodder to give the protagonist a reason to fight. The 2014 version is very much a reversal of this character…

FTL is probably unrealistic, but not everything shot out into space is meant to return. Probes, for one, would be both a “UAP” vehicle and something not unusual to find crashed somewhere.

If the “space debris” is like, the Kuiper belt or asteroid belt, then it’s worth pointing out the average distance between asteroids is like 600,000 miles. 

Do you think every time he loses a match, he finds the person’s FB profile and sells their personal data on the darkweb?

Yeah, but just think...you could take virtual vacations.

It looks awesome, and I’m sure Apple’s panache for figuring out UI that works smoothly right out of the box will make this a legitimate entry into VR/AR, but that price...a non starter for many. Plus, I don’t like Apple’s ecosystem, even if it might be one of the best. Just a preference thing.
