I work with a lot of tech companies - a LOT of them are making similar moves and have been for the past year or so. These are big operational moves, usually out of California. There’s a lot more to this than I think you’re willing to explore here, and I also find it pretty absurd to wave-away the discussion about cost…

I wouldn’t say that’s the main issue for sure, but given the rolling blackouts they have now and the restrictions on usages of stuff even like microwaves, You can bed they would crack down hard on electrically intensive things like mining.

Let’s not kid ourselves, this has nothing to do with environmental concerns.

if only there was some mechanism or technology to reduce the CO2 footprint of electricity generation.

Forget the pickup, give me the (also probably vaporware) Alpha JAX!

As a fellow ‘clueless nerd’, can I just say:

Alcohol kills people all the time and we had a foolish little experiment banning it about a hundred years ago. Thankfully we wised up and the charade ended.

Team Associated FTW. I had their electric buggy and then moved to the rc10gt nitro and wow, good times.

Grasshopper body kit? Sign me up!

Schrader valve stem remover. Annoying slow leak or impossible to fill flat, it’s Choose Your own Adventure.

No more callers, please. We have our winner!

I’m not sure which car is “The Most 80s.” But whatever it is, it’s definitely a K-Car.

The Mustang 5.0 5-speed was the car to beat back then. Sure, the GN and GNX existed and were some serious ass-kickers in the quarter mile. I’d even go as far as saying they were unbeatable. However, the ultimate “every man” car that could kill it at both the drag track and local road course events was a 5-speed…

AutoHotKey FTW. Sure its not a pretty GUI, but it can do so much.

Have they not watched The Lockpicking Lawyer? Most locks are pickable in a couple seconds with simple tools.

The official Nürburgring instagram posted this today.

Agreed - Shelby is likely full of shit, but it’s disingenuous to say “450 Tesla employees have had Covid, therefore there is workplace spread.”

“The Washington Post reported that there were as many as 125 active cases at the Tesla factory, which now appears to have been a significant underestimation. Instead, the company had actually noted 450 active cases by that time.”

Raw cellulose is flammable and edible to some insects, but the stuff used for insulation has been soaked in boric acid—making it insecticidal, fungicidal, and fire-retardant.
