One of my businesses is garage storage products, and our larger steel cabinets all come from China. We got an email yesterday letting us know all shipments were on a 6 week delay.

Coronavirus has FAR higher kill ratio. We have no vaccines for it, unlike for the flu. We don’t fully know how it spreads or what the source is. We can’t plan for it. Incubation period is long. We don’t know jackshit about the virus. The flu usually kills young, elderly or those with suppressed immune system, unlike…

The flu is a great comparison based on the level of contagiousness and possible infection numbers. If it is not quarantined, which the flu is not, it is possible the numbers could grow to 45 million people infected and the number of dead would potentially be 1.2 million.  That doesn’t seem serious to you?

By your own math, the flu kills .1% of infected people.  The coronavirus kills 2.6% of infected people, 26 times more.

Yeah, sure. Let’s just trust the profit-driven corporations to look out for the public’s interest in not being run down by an AV in testing. It’s inconceivable that a computer controlled 4,000lb vehicle could be dangerous without an unbiased party checking the math or limiting where these things can be aimed.

Yeah I don't really want our publicly funded roads to be a part of corporate beta testing

It likely would have made things worse. It does two things that certainly would have upset many people which would have in turn made other people upset and so on and so forth.

I also am not interested in some things other people seem to like.

Now all the damn Ford guys will start loving pushrods again, I promise, after shitting all over LS’s.

Anyone currently sleeping in a tent, for starters.

Well, they’re referencing a WSJ article about automakers and emissions standards. Is the Journal also hating on GM? I very much doubt that Jalopnik writers are biased against GM. They hate everyone equally which I prefer.

Well you’re throwing the baby out with the bathwater here and this article isn't "gamer outrage," it's level-headed criticism of a product 

The coolant will boil at a lower temperature, so they just need to upgrade the rad cap to account for the lower atmospheric pressure relative to the cooling system pressure. Alternatively they could use waterless coolant which doesn’t boil

1l of gas produces always 2300g of Co2 when burned. The rest is a bit of unit conversion.

Are you really asking that? They are directly related to one another. Internet is full of calculators for that. I understand that in the Land of Gas Guzzlers mpg and CO2 emissions aren’t a thing (unless one drives a electric car so it seems a bit black and white).

There’s certain amount of carbon that needs to go…

I was briefly considering one while I was looking at the Corolla hatch and Cruze hatch and now hearing that I’m glad I didn’t go with it. The 1.4 turbo in the Cruze is 152HP and it moves like hell when you want it to

That’s odd.  I had one of these for a few weeks as a loaner while my car was in the shop for some engine warranty work.  I found the 2.0L very willing.  Definitely underpowered, but it had excellent throttle response.  I spent the first week basically thrashing the thing and it was a willing partner.  I eventually…

I had a 2015 Mazda6 obviously with the 2.5L Manual, dude that powerband on that car died at 4500K anything after that felt like I was flooring 6th gear! Great gas mileage, long gears but weak hwy passing power.

“Maybe U.S. customers require more power, because fuel economy is not the top requirement, they have 80 mph freeways and have expectations of speed and safety.”

You’re clearly doing it wrong. Engineers are supposed to say, “I cannae do it, it’s impossible.” And then you do it anyway in half the time.
