It’s easier to grasp if you look at smaller numbers.

Anecdote : be kind to the gate staff too. We had an international flight get severely delayed from our home airport (change of aircraft - had to fly one in from across the country). We were flying comfort+ / premium economy. The options were to wait for the incoming plane (about a 5hr delay) or try to get re-booked.…

There. Fixed it for you.

I mis-read that and thought you drove two hours on the wrong side of the freeway, at which point my brain exploded and I had to re-read it.

That would prevent ‘creep’ in traffic though - where you take your foot off the brake and allow the car to creep forward. (Do Teslas have ‘creep’ mode?) If the cameras see vehicles in front, would the shifter decide you wanted to go backwards?

Umm. How is the car supposed to know / guess which direction you want to go in? (Given that the Great Musk has declared that this is only a backup to “AI shifting”?)

High voltage, high current, exposed metal contacts. You need to the power to be disconnected before the plug can be removed so that people don’t go licking the EVSE while it’s not plugged into a car. Only once the power is off will the car ‘unlock’ the EVSE plug.

I watched a few of these videos and couldn’t tell who was dumber - the people making them, or the people paying $50 a pop in SuperChat and SuperStickers to see “wanker” lit up in pink in the comments. That’s as bad as paying EA $36 for a cosmetic skin in Apex Legends. I mean clearly people are doing it, but I want to…

I’ve found most of the sales guys talk about the inflated mileage estimates as if they’re gospel. For example my I-pace has a claimed WLTP range of 294 miles but there’s no way you would ever, ever, ever in a month of sundays get even close to that. WLTP is less useful than the old EPA gas-mileage figures. The EPA…

It’s ok - you can use the word “cunt”. Piers Morgan is a cunt. 

Apple’s first car “won’t be designed to have a driver.”

I had a supply of Vogmask masks in February, because we had a trip planned to Asia last year. That trip was cancelled but the ready supply of masks before everyone else needed them was a fucking saviour.

Mandatory : still looks better than the PS4 shitshow.

What should he buy? In all seriousness, a new job or a home closer to where he works. I had a similar commute in the UK. Reading to Brighton and back. 80 miles to work, 80 miles home. If I went M25 I got stuck in traffic and artificially low speed limits, and it was 2 hours each way. If I went A281 via Guildford, it…

I work on the graphics side of commercial flight simulation and we have to support systems going back to the early 1990's. I cannot begin to tell you what an enormous pain in the arse it is trying to make a modern model run on 1990's hardware, let alone last-gen 2010-era hardware. I wouldn’t wish…

I call total BS on 7 mins 14 seconds. Especially if she had to move. Lying face-down in a pool, doing static-hold maybe, but no, Kate, you’re talking out of your arse.

Am I reading that last part correctly? They’ve got an electric front motor (singular) driving two wheels through a 1950's beam axle and differential?  I wonder why they didn’t go Rivian and do one motor per wheel...? It solves all the problems of differentials and traction control without all the associated pig-iron…
