I feel for ya that your childhood home got ripped on, but there’s a reason the south side has the reputation it does. And go figure, his example had the intended effect; virtually everyone knows what he’s talking about. Why do you think that is?

i’m with ya, bryan. i’m still bombing around on my ‘98 cannondale with caliper brakes. don’t fix what ain’t broke. I’ve yet to not be able to ride because of a brake or derailleur failure, but it’s a guarantee that if I start adopting parts that need charging, I’m gonna miss rides for lack of battery charge if not…

“the advantages of electronic shifting can’t be understated”

huh.  it’s almost like 100 years of automotive building know-how was ignored when making this thing.

this article reminds me: I need to check up on Jeremy Dewitte, see where he’s at these days.   I’m bummed this article wasn’t about him.

no need to pretend: when test driving my wife’s 17 volvo, we noticed a button that we had NO IDEA what it did:

“He could fix that with a refinance given his fairly good credit score.”

“And portrait instead of landscape pics” 

wow. the hyperlink in “Surveillance footage of the area from police showed...” why on earth did I expect that to actually link to the surveillance footage of the area?? I’ve been coming here long enough to know better.

nah... let’s review. 0.08% is legal limit. 0.25 is ~3x that.

if it was 0.025 as you suggest, it would be less than the legal limit.

the best part is even if/after they fix the headline, the url will remain  :)

“Tesla filed a lawsuit in federal court last week against startup EV charger adapter manufacturer EVject for false advertising, trademark dilution and unlawful trade practice.”

This is kinda similar to the program in Illinois - you can get the state to subsidize residential solar install, but the assistance comes with strings; you can’t have a battery to store  your excess power for home use, you have to divert all extra back to the grid.   I get and agree with the big picture of this, but…

when I first read “a group of explorers gained access...” I assumed access was approved/granted.

yeah, but the headline got ya to click, didn’t it?  truth no longer matters.

well damn, those are pretty good reasons. thanks for watching the video and sharing! lol

maybe I should watch the video but I’m at work. the gull doors - is there a storm-chasing specific use case for them, or are we just trying to shoe-horn them in because they’re cool? no argument either way, just curious.

“It should be located at least one turnoff ahead. Otherwise it’s pointless”

oh man, i remember being fascinated when I screwed up rebuilding the differential in my RC car and the front wheels went forward while the rear wheels turned backwards. watching it sit there and go nowhere with the sets of wheels spinning in opposite directions, knowing I wasn’t going to rebuild it in the field and my…

when I go somewhere like that (that a breakdown can turn into a life-threatening situation) I won’t go unless we can take two cars. never know when a lurking issue deep inside the vehicle will decide to fail, even if it’s not caused by the heat.
