I am in full support of regulations like safety, emissions, etc.

Glad to see ageism is alive and well. I’ve always supported the advancement of safety in cars, and I’m 60 years old.

Most of the “fat” on those trucks is for crumple zones. Modern engines look absolutely tiny inside of the engine bays, with a lot of empty space just for padding.

The Washington one wasn’t even a bomb, it was a missile body without a warhead.

here in germany this would just be a regular wednesday

Before you hit that buy button.

This is a good deal - the Quest 2 is pretty awesome as a standalone headset and makes for a pretty decent PCVR solution.

But if you can afford a Quest3, do that instead. They’re better in quite a few ways. 

Both vehicles scored 5 star ratings NCAP. 

I was gonna say, it looks way better than the crash tests of Chinese cars 10 years ago where the entire passenger compartment crumbled on every one.

The bar keeps moving because these would have been 4-5 star results in the 80s and 90s.  I mean, you don’t even have passengers being partially/temporarily ejected from the vehicle.

This image gives me hope that we’ll get something at least akin to Megaton from FO3:

Newsom is pointing fingers elsewhere but at least some of the responsibility lies with the state.  No private entity should have been leased space under the fucking freeway.  

Yep, last year I bought a basic (round dial old school) set by GE after seeing nightmares of the high efficiency smart W&Ds friends had (clothes didn’t get clean, control panel display crapped out, etc.). As long as the washer gives me four water levels and four temp control options and the dryer gives me a few temp…

About 10 years ago I inherited my parents 1976 Maytag washing machine. It’s still working fine and to the best of my knowledge never been repaired. My daughter in laws 4 year old Samsung washing machine had a fault code show up on it’s screen. It turned out to be a bad vibration sensor,available only in a set of four…

Several years ago we replaced our washer and our dryer. The new ones came with wireless so we could “remotely” monitor the washing and drying. Why? WTF!

I avoid modem/router combo units like the plague, as having a separate modem and router is much more versatile. They don’t necessarily have to be in the same room, so if your cable outlet location is less than optimal, you can put the router in a better location and run Ethernet between them.

I am in the Major Home Appliance Industry for 42 years now, 19 as a service technician and 23 as a technical trainer to service companies. I have worked with manufacturers from Aga to GE to Samsung. So trust me when I tell you this;

Everybody has missiles. Even hyper-sonic ones. The U.S. says it doesn’t have hyper-sonic missiles. Don’t believe it for a second.

“If shooting starts, China may be a match for the U.S.”

Did it ever occur to you that maybe there isn’t some big decided-upon “view” on EVs and these journalists are just calling it like they see it and sometimes where these sites end up is just above or below what you personally think and therefore you feel like certain sites are particularly pro or anti EV?
