This doesn’t explain why the prices are going up. The reason is because nighttime charging requires base load generation, which solar and wind power cannot provide after the sun goes down.

Because chips are in high demand for weapons manufacturing, and war is on the horizon. The chip companies project a drop in demand for consumer hardware, but expect increased demand from defense contractors. This is why NVIDIA is not going to drop prices on graphics cards, even at a time when fewer people are buying…

This is a dumb idea because it’ll get triggered by any sort of sudden impact. Just throw your phone at a wall and it’ll call 911.

Port of Seattle statistics still say that the TSA is processing 8% fewer passengers now than in 2019.

Seattle and the surrounding Puget Sound metropolitan area hosts a lot of conferences and conventions for tech, medicine, art, music, and gaming. Any weekend could be a busy one for SeaTac because the weather tends to be mild year-round, making it a popular spot for hosting gatherings. This week in particular, there’s…

Pretty sure that all the jobs related to building and servicing transmissions, turbo and super chargers, oil pumps, radiators, spark plugs, fuel injectors, mufflers, catalytic converters, and on are set to get the axe with the transition to electric vehicles.

Chevy sells the Corvette not because they want to see a Corvette in every driveway, but because they want to see a Chevy vehicle in every driveway. Corvettes are not as profitable as Tahoes and Silverados, so dealers are given freedom to mark up the halo cars to match what people are willing to pay in their local…

These morons are using NFC?! That means any thief with a NFC reader on their phone can swipe your car key just by holding it close to your hand for less than a second!

That’s stupid. If a thief sees you paying for goods and opening doors with your arm, then all they need to do is stand next to you for 5 minutes with a fake transmitter and they’ll be able to swipe a copy of all of your keys and data.

I really wish that these articles would go further to explain why these vehicles don’t get sold in the states. It’s always argued that the car manufacturers are somehow being unfair to customers by restricting certain models to certain markets, but that doesn’t mean the car will sell in great numbers if they suddenly…

Oh my god, the idea that fast food is improved by serving the entree items separately on a platter, the traditional way, is hands down the dumbest thing I have read this summer. It’s not about having a lack of shame, you already admitted to being shameless if you are ordering fast food on the regular. Don’t pretend…

Remote working and Starlink have made it possible for people to do their jobs from just about anywhere, that’s why yachts have been ticking up in sales. Among the wealthy it used to be that you simply used the yacht every once in a while for a nice remote getaway, and wouldn’t assume you could stay connected to the…

What is the problem with you guys? This is necessary in order to bring manufacturing back to the United States. COVID showed us that China can initiate lockdowns immediately and at will, and the lockdowns have disastrous effects on supply chains when most of the western world relies on Chinese exports.

I couldn’t care less about the actors or the plot. I came here to read about Matty Matheson and wound up very disappointed. Literally the only guy on camera with actual chef experience, trained the actors on how to be chefs, guided set design to accurately depict restaurants, and also produced the show. Millions of…

Banning cars is a wedge issue, just like all other wedge issues such as abortion, gun control, religion, etc. People living in different parts of the world have different needs, and in the case of all these wedge issues you will never find common ground between opposing parties because they live completely different…

Better idea: Build cheaper EVs that don’t need subsidies to be affordable to the general public.

Why can’t we build electric vehicles that are more affordable without incentives? Why do the cars always have to be packed with high performance and the cutting edge creature comforts, driver assistance, and collision avoidance technology?

Guys with big wieners don’t have girlfriends that are asking them to buy Raptors. Those ladies found something else to dream about.

I don’t know about you, but to me the word in question, ignoring its associations to the handcapped, has always carried a negative connotation in American colloquial English, Lizzo’s native dialect, so there was clear intention to use the term as an unfavorable descriptor.

Black music should not shy away from offensive terms. Taking offense to dirty language is a white man’s way of thinking. This shows Lizzo does not care about black female empowerment or upsetting the status quo.
