While covid is real, and people are really getting sick and people are really dying, there is no way that 238,000 people died because of covid. There is a lot of gray area in statistics that people want to throw around as unmitigated fact. Too many people I know, who are not extreme tin hat wearing nut cases, who work…

Yes, yes we can pass judgement. Touchscreen controls, or flat capacitive touch buttons as opposed to actual buttons with tactile feel and actual movement suck. They suck immensely. They require taking your eyes off the road long enough to find, focus, touch, and see that what you wanted it to do has been done, as…

Yeah, I have to remember the advice that I often give to others when discussing science, or physics type subjects... Math is the answer.

I’ve always thought pickups would be a better platform for an EV because of this... the ease of carring around a little emergency generator. Also, the ease of adding some more batteries. With a pickup bed, they could make optional extra range battery packs that you could just slide in like extra modules, even if it…

First, you complain about the apparent hypocrisy of them not toeing the environmental line; “...kind of eats away at the foundation of any corporate argument for reducing vehicle footprint and material waste.”

This.  I’ve ridden in a few (before I knew better) and have even had to drive a couple.  Just no.  Those things are unstable, unsteerable cans full of people meat just looking for a place to roll over.  I won’t ride in one, and if I see them on the highway, I give them a wide berth.

“99.99% of those particles left the interior of the aircraft within six minutes” I find this hard to believe. I would have to do the math, and know the volume of the cabin and the flow rates of all the gozintas and gozoutas, which I don’t know, and haven’t done dilution equations in 40 years.  But that just doesn’t…

It’s not unusual at all. I knew of many small towns that did this. A couple places I lived, and a few places where various grandparents and relatives lived. You are right in regards to a once a week or once a month test probably being sufficient, but people kind of liked the every day at noon siren or whistle. No cell…

This is absolutely true. My parents taught me to look both ways before I cross the street. It seems to me this is such a basic thing, that it shouldn’t need to be said, but it does. I taught my kids the same thing. And I mean, it was pounded it into their heads, whenever we crossed a street, walking through a parking…

Yup. If you own one, not only will you not need to rent one, but you will probably be loaning it to friends and family. They would be cheap enough to buy, in time, there would be thousands of them living in the wild, cutting deeply into U-hauls rentals.

No. It was just stupid and pointless. Apparently, 10 other people agreed with me. Does Covid have a smell? Obviously, much like any other disease, it interacts with humans in such a way that a dog can smell the difference. What’s your point? Yes, it mutates.  Again, what’s your point?

Do you have an actual relevant question?  Or point to make?  Anything?

The fridge being 5 or 10 degrees colder (say 35 instead of 45) means it will stay cold for longer. A week with no power won’t make much difference, but if the power is out for just a day, and the fridge door is not opened that whole time, stuff inside might be ok. That 5 or 10 degrees makes it last a few hours longer,…

Sounds rough. It must be hard to be you. I must live in a different world than you. I was given nothing. I inherited nothing. I was raised lower-middle class. I joined the military and learned a trade. No college. No grants. Worked hourly wage my whole life. Married, kid, divorced, kid now an adult, and an independent…

The bigger the government agency, the less accountable they are for spending other people’s money, and the less common sense is involved and the more is wasted. This is almost universally true and not debatable.

This really has nothing to do with police.  This is just big government doing what big government has always done, and will always do... spend other peoples money.

What if I go ahead and get one now (pretty early) and then my work has someone come in and give them in September or October, should I go ahead and get another one to make sure it will last the full season? I lean towards, yeah, sure, why not. Don’t see any reason not to. I have never heard a good reason not to. In…

Yes, but by getting the flu vaccine you are lowering your chances of being put in that position of not knowing which it is. Everyone wants to turn arguments into simplistic, binary, this side or that side. It’s all about chances and probabilities. I know, math is hard, but it’s math. If you lower your chances of…

Given that the weak point seems to be the anchor points that the tethers are attached to, how about one set of tethers (one left and one right) just cross connect to each other. Then, for it to come loose, it would have to break at least 2 more anchor points and a whole other wheel/hub/suspension assembly. Not a total…

I doubt very much you were banned from Bimmerpost for life simply for being “too critical” of the 4 series. Lots of people, including me, have stated negative opinions of the design many, many times without getting banned.
