High output DC motors have brushes, which require replacement and would be too much maintenance. The only alternative to brushes is to convert power to AC somewhere along the transmission path.

Efficiency, wear on parts, power delivery.

“AAA” in gaming always refers to the same thing: budget. Has nothing to do with quality — it just means a big-budget game.

If it’s wood: you sand it down and apply a good oil/stain and lacquer.

He’s doing his job to the best of his ability.

Lawyers are “just the best” until you or your business needs one.

And a lot less of the general “occupying army” fuckery that just pisses off the locals.

A 5 year average career implies implies a long-term starter for every practice squad guy who gets one sniff of the league, 3 years implies a 1:2 ratio of long-term starters to brief candles.

My theory, while probably not the whole story but a strong portion of it, is that the turnover in rosters is an intentional decision by the owners to keep roster costs down. Younger players, lower salaries go hand in hand. Guys on their first contract make less than guys on their 2nd and 3rd contracts. Turning the…

I used to say, “Boo frickin’ hoo. They’re millionaires. I’m SO sorry they can’t make a few more million in their twenties!”

Street racing on deserted road is one thing, but with traffic involved, plainly stupid.

It still confuses me how this car got any hype at all. I guess if you frame you new vaporware car a “new tech” media fawn all over it.

If it helps, they only get to drive them four months out of the year.

Why would they? People aren’t exactly lining up to play MMOs like they used to, and mmo’s are a lot of budget and hassle. Meanwhile players seem pretty happy with games like Heroes of the Storm and Hearthstone and those titles are paying off.

Alright, Black People, it’s been fun, but it seems Jalopnik and Orlove have found Black Twitter and read it for about a day. It is definitely time to change addresses before they find out about $200 dates and how much a “stack” is.

800 hours is like a blink of an eye. That’s a team of 8 designers working for 100 hours each, so basically 2 weeks... That’s insanely fast.

Yeah, I’d rather watch two replays of (maybe?) a catch and then cut to that commercial about that rascal Cardinals fan stealing part of his picket fence and getting caught by his wife. That silly goose!

Meh. You crash, he crashes, she crashes.. everyone will eventually crash unless they quit first.

We all do it, whats your point? that someone who has not crashed feels inferior for not doing it yet? or that they feel superior for not doing it yet?

Out of control!

It amaze me how everytime, car manifacturer get owned on web connected stuff. Network security is hardly a new thing, it’s not like it’s hard to hire the right people to make things secure. It’s like if most carmaker are just computer illiterate. (Wouldn’t surprise me... we have 8 inch nav screens and the only way for…

But in a more human sense, Clarkson’s apology to Tymon was unusually compassionate for the man usually known for his sharp critiques
