The Minuteman III is expected to be in use until at least 2030. The Peacekeeper was supposed to replace it, but it’s disallowed by START II and was retired in 2005. SLBMs are now much more accurate than they used to be, and since they have much higher survivability than ICBMs, it’s not clear if we will ever have a…

At least in the Civic, it’s an actual, physical handbrake.

Remember: just because you have Drift Mode and now the Drift Stick, it doesn’t automatically mean you are a Drift God.

Here is the RS’s primary competitor. Brand new 2018 model:

Seems like a microcosm of the wider electric car transition.

If it had two ports, it wouldn’t be that hard to make it charge twice as fast when you’ve got access to two chargers. It’s basically doubling the diameter of the charge wires. Might have to beef up some of the hardware on the car (I don’t have a good understanding of how the charge-discharge hardware works) but it…

Even a high speed Qi charger is 15W. A Level 3 fast charger is up to 144kW. You’d cook things that got in between the coils. And since the charge pad and reception coil aren’t in as close contact, you’d get a lot more leakage: it would be very lossy, and you’d warm up stuff near the coils, not just between them. Also,…

DC is used at all standard charging stations, not just Tesla ones. If you’re replacing the charger-side cable with one carried by the car, it’s still going to be DC. If you need a rectifier to use as an emergency charger with a standard 120 or 240V AC socket, that can be an extra box you plug in at the socket side.…

Induction isn’t an issue for other reasons, but unless you have the whole coiled up part inside a metal box, it’s not shielded from this problem.

There’s zero net induction when both wires are wound together in one big cable. Also, it’s DC: an inductor is a wire as soon as the current is stable (milliseconds in all but the most extreme cases).

Sanders [...] does almost zero work with the national party on a regular basis.

*Nebraska. I only nit-pick because I knew about that one already and your mention of IL had me worried it had happened twice.

With our luck, that’s probably one of his kinks.

Right: it’s supposed to be Indiana*, dammit!

I’m glad Madigan and the rest of the Illinois legislature grew a spine, or it would be the same there.

“They want her writing stories about parades and promoting the town. But no, Hilde wants to report crime and scandal when she finds it.”

Last week, a friend of mine posted a clip from about 15 years ago, height of the V10 era. I don’t care that they were slower back then: that’s how they should sound.

It’s not Ni-Cd. Li-ion battery chemistry is complicated, but typically involves some sort of transition metal, and both Ni and Co are common choices. EVs often use NMC, which has both: LiNiMnCoO2.

The one which is also a space launch company, and which has plans to start doing it?
