I have zero doubt that the seller is a late Gen Xer or Millennial, not a Boomer.

It’s beautiful. Like the ICON Derelict, an aging beast that’s been around, seen some shit, and continues to soldier on into the future, unbent by the winds of time.

I will be happy for Jodie Whittaker to stay around as the doctor as long as she wants. It would have been shocking if she had not done a third season, as only Colin Baker and Christopher Eccleston did less than three seasons and I guess Paul McGann. But likewise only Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker (and no doctors from the…

When I bought my first Miata it was bone stock even down to the locking lug nuts which came on it from the factory. While doing the brakes on it my friend who was helping accidentally left the key to the lugs on the wheel. We heard it fly off at around 30 mph and needless to say it was never located. I took it to the…

BMW did that for me too basically! I had a 2013 BMW S1000rr, it was basically perfect other than missing one muffler bolt.

In all honesty, I’d like to see a short 10-12 episode per season series called Final Frontier that sort of goes back to Star Trek’s “wagon train in space” roots by focusing on one of those colony worlds in the ass end of the Beta quadrant. There’s a clunky old orbital space station overhead and a transport ship…

I have one in the northeast. I actually like it but there are some weird issues not related to the hybrid engine. Literally... It’s the only one I ever seen. Which makes me want to get rid of it.

People who drive like that get what they deserve if they are ever involved in a front-end collision.

Damn, stuff like that just adds more pain and frustration to an already terrible situation. Very sorry for your loss... I hope brighter days are ahead (and also that you never have to set foot in a KIA dealer again.)

Sorry for your loss. I can’t get my head around a company that has a “special department” for when someone dies, and then allows it to be run this way. I thought the Stinger was a nice car, but this kind of thing, coupled with the crummy lease restrictions, definitely takes the company’s image down a notch or two. I…

Everyone’s gotta deal with a shit sandwich their own way.

Damn.

“Kids, remember to shit in the tank before bed; we're taking a road trip tomorrow!”

Hydrogen as a fuel source is not made by “splitting atoms.” That’s what happens in a hydrogen bomb - you shoot a neutron at an atom’s nucleus to split it, which catalyzes the chain reaction.

it takes LOADS of electricity just to make hydrogen

Toyota can go “eff” themselves over hydrogen. Pure electric is where they need to be and it is obvious they are behind on the technology, so they want people to buy into “their” ecosystem. I want to get away from having to pull into some stupid fuel station to pay for fuel when I can just plug my car in to my…

Some ships are diesel electric, but not many. The average cargo ship (and many passenger ones) uses a plain old shaft from engine to prop. Electric drive is used where you have a high demand for “hotel” power as in cruise liners and warships.. This is less efficient in isolation but gives the advantage that you can…

Hydrogen could still have a practical use for long-distance travel like ships and over-the-road trucks, as well as for sports cars. In both cases, you’d get the advantages of electric drive without the massive weight penalty of batteries. For an average daily driver, you’re right, the batteries make the most sense.
