This is why I’m fond of Kia’s system. Buttons when I want them, touchscreen there for when I’m goofing off in a parking lot. My optima just feels so much cleaner to use than my cousin's accord.

More EVs in racing is good, even if they’re kind of boring to watch right now cause they spend as much time charging as running.

Yep I agree with all of this. BEV trucks have to either go expensive car cosplaying as truck (Rivian), unapologetically ugly to get as much range/utility without costing 100k+ (Tesla), or fleet use (Lordstown). LMC is aiming for the boring power company trucks that drive 100 miles a day reading gas meters. Anyone who…

Yep. Bronco failed Baja 1000 2019 and nobody cared. Came back in 2020 and finished. Next years race will be the true test -  they will have a year to prep and refine and hopefully get a real driver.  This year's I think they were happy with just not having a mechanical failure. A lot of drivers ran out of gas this…

They got the truck done a few days before the race, so they didn’t have as much time for testing or prerunning as the other teams. That said, they took a day for a moronic photo op instead. Their planning was atrocious, and at least some of their lack of range could be attributed to running an amateur driver instead…

Remember this isn’t 3x vs the road truck. The Baja truck has big wheels and no aerodynamics. So they’re saying 3x (4x reality) conditions on a road, which suggests that the Baja truck could get 160 miles, but doesn’t suggest anything about the actual road truck range.

I thought it was fugly when I first saw a picture of it, but it's kind of growing on me.

Holy shit I think I still have one of those lying around somewhere. It was great for jogging.

I still have mine and would love it if they open sourced the software. Probably never going to happen now though.

True, but he has already been convicted for providing false information to the police before. I can't imagine they like their time being wasted more than once.

I have the Mate 10 Pro, and let me tell you it can’t be overstated how nice the battery life is on the Mate line. It’s the first Android I’ve owned where I truly feel comfortable leaving my charger home every day. Only thing I’m really missing is T-mobile's wifi calling, but I hardly used that anyways.

I know you won’t like this answer, but the front facing seats are for safety. They could redesign the seats to swivel, remake the car interior we are all familiar with. But ultimately it would be unproven and difficult to test for safety reasons, and consumers would probably reject it. GM is a large company. Someone…

Tesla has Sexy going for it. GM has 100 years of poor quality and disappointments. I think they’ll be fine.

It seems to only be a disaster for people who knew it was CGI to begin with. My mom was upset about Leia, but she didn’t even realize Tarkin was CGI because she forgot his character from the original series. I think that if she hadn’t seen the original trilogy she wouldn’t have had a second thought about Leia either.

Shit, it looked boring at 130 on his slowdown.

The first two episodes definitely were bad. By the fourth I was on board. I feel like the first few we’re just made to get the show past the executives and the rest so far have been what they actually wanted the show to be.

I hadn’t thought of it like that but I guess it’s true.

The Zenbook deluxe 3 has Thunderbolt 3 ports so that it can work with an external graphics card. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the others listed do as well.

My day one Switch has a slight bend in the middle. At first I thought it was a switch problem, but after noticing it got slightly better, I realized it was because the crappy insignia case I got that doesn’t fit the charger was bending it.

Yeah, I went to Europe in first class on a new 787. Damn, it was nice. Choice of wine with meals. Personal ~2ft flatscreen. Electronic recline flat seat. Slippers so I could taoe my shoes off. And Bose noise canceling headphones that had an external input for the cancelling that was way better than the standalone…
