Interesting.Well done on your research.

Yep.And this wont dramatically change in a hurry.
But i hope i’m wrong of course

Wow another one gone?
I want to joke that jalopnik is the training ground for half the world’s motoring journalists.It seems everyone’s been through here at some time

This is the right take.Lithium has near zero effect on national security .
And if china does restrict it’s use to america,that’s a good excuse to delay going green 🤣

You’re right to think that.While the most immoral leaders the sport (any sport) has ever seen have left, they still try to play dirty at times

F1 should absolutley race in russia!!
...and should keep saying that until cancelling just one week before the due date.
Keep them feeding sponsorship dollars into the sport and on preparations for the race only to lose it all 🤣🤣

GAH, i physically recoiled at the Consulier.
Also someone mentioned ‘stanced aztek’ .I want to google that but also *dont* want to

While we’re arguing good but expensive HST versus the insane stupidity of HL, how about we inject a bit of common sense and include aircraft.
Because why spend massive amounts on extra infrastructure if using renewable fuel in aircraft could solve this?
Id like to see a serious study on train versus aircraft on a…

I want to believe that’s a valid comparison, but who knows how much they’re subsidizing it (versus using aircraft on the longer routes)

Can we stop blaming every fucking thing on *insert lobby group here*?
The oil lobby would be nothing without every american being willfully addicted to oil.

It depends on the level of vacuum and how they intend to release it in an emergency.
I guess you already know our bodies do horrible things when exposed to a vacuum.Our blood boils,etc.
Virgin seem to be aiming at a vacuum level equivalent to an altitude of 200000 ft. Blood starts to boil at 55000 ft so obviously their…

“ it was always a long shot”
No,it was pure fantasy right from the start.
Anyone with even moderate technical abilities could see the massive problems.
It would have been unbelievably expensive and pretty much impossible to make safe..
There are no excuses for the level of delusion from those pushing this project

Everything we’ve seen so far about the technical aspects of hyperloop has been deluded fantasy.So obviously and deeply flawed that it’s embarrassing.
So why would you beleive the dollar numbers they’re giving??

Right?
It wouldn’t surprise me if the new aero elements had appearance as part of their design criteria.

You’re right of course ,they’ll be a less good on bumps.
Everyone is used to dealing with similar issues- pitch sensitivity for example- so it shouldnt be a big deal. Still, it’s certain some team’s cars will suit the new aero rules better than others

It’s about damn time.

“We have been told for years that we should not water our lawns,” Hoyer, who is active in a citizen’s initiative monitoring the project, said in an interview. “Then the world’s richest man comes along and gets everything he wants.”

I dont know the exact situation there but this woman is obviously an idiot. It’s…

What’s the best play?
Keep moving but at a speed that’s safe. That reduces the speed differential if someone hits you from behind.
And if you come upon stopped traffic,leave a gap.That way if someone hits you from behind there’s less chance of your car being crushed between others and spreading the damage.
Also it…

This is actually the first time i’ve heard the Nevera name. It just sounds wrong.
The potential joke value would be endless

Firstly,you are officially awesome for doing this 😃 !

Sorry i dont have any particularly great suggestions.It sounds like in-depth experience is needed to get some of the questions right.
Some mechanic’s youtube channels might help.Ones that cover lots of real life subjects can help speed up the learning.
