who needed a scientist to explain mining is bad?

I still want to know why they’re not offering a manual transmission in the ecoboost cars.

Forget the fraud, what I wanna know is how being sentenced to 26 years he served only five. Good behavior doesn’t go that far.

7500 rpm near 100 hp/l V8 for the price of an Integra? People will bitch, and the car has flaws, but it's cool this still exists in 2023.

Million dollar idea: "Ionized" magnets that you place in certain locations in the car to increase range. The magnets force the electrons to flow in a smooth straight line making it more efficient. A 4 pack of magnets only costs $150. 

I actually am an expert in my field (PhD in Immunology from Duke). That means I know enough to know that I don’t know everything. None of us have all the information, because that is impossible. We’ve all got different sets of information and we compare them amongst ourselves. Sometimes the person with something…

Fun fact: I did my PhD at Duke. While I was there, some interesting things happened.

Where’s the solar roof? I understand that Elmo has a company that produces and markets a solar roof. Perhaps he could cut a friends and family deal?

Oh, re-reading it, they DID get conned. Ok, my faith in DC’s ability to be stupid even by Florida standards is restored!

This is pretty much what they battery makers, do, they over provision a battery, so say you get a 100 kwh ev battery, its ACTUAL capacity might be something like 125 kwh, just pulling these numbers out my ass, so as cells begin to degrade they have other cells in the pack that make up for it so it keeps you at that “10…

Man, I gotta get into some government contract work.

No, see, that’s why they created that F150 that has 700 horsepower but literally no accompanying suspension, steering, or braking upgrades

yeah if GM could extend their electric car’s range by any notable amount they would be vastly financially incentivised to do so. 

We all like to think of ourselves as pretty savvy and sophisticated people who wouldn’t fall for something like this.

OEMs limit the amount of usable battery capacity to extend the life of the battery, so it’s possible his software enables a larger % of battery utilization (to the detriment of battery longevity).

Hey, DC Fleet Maintenance shop manager has boat payments just like anyone else.

Wait, $14,000 per vehicle to install this shit? I don’t care if it actually worked, that’s more half of the cost of the car itself! Ahh, government spending at its finest. 

I wouldn’t let anyone take it away until insurance has gotten what they need from it.  Now they took away the evidence.

I didn’t know the 767 is still in service. I thought they were retired shortly after the 757 was retired sometime around 2016? The 757 and 767 of course were Boeing’s 1980s triumphs before they really got their act together with the 777. The 767 will forever be known as the plane used to destroy my office in the…

Too bad it deflated. Would have been cool to have a big ass slide in the yard. Weeeeeee!~!~
