There’s just a bit of bias in this story, although the point is valid. There is nothing unjust in one homeowner having the ability to put in a storm barrier and another not. That barrier is cool tech, and should be a story on its own here. Particularly since it does less damage than sandbags, is reusable, easy to move…

Power density.

The point I was trying to make, perhaps unsuccessfully, was that those drawbacks would have been considered “quirks” that made it “awesome” if it was a vehicle only available overseas. For instance David Tracy’s recent purchase.

A big anxiety of EV’s are “road trips” and the concept of freedom that comes with the ability to just get away for a long weekend (or even just a day). Even if 95% of their driving time is just short range commuting, that 5% may be very important to them.

Apologies in advance for the novel length reply...
We’ve been with a “Health Cost Sharing” (HCS) program for over 5 years, have used it a few times, have had no issues at all.

In a nutshell, the HCS members all pay into the HCS. Those funds are used to cover member’s covered medical expenses to “share the costs”.

OK, Cup race is over. I never again want to hear how NASCAR drivers suck at going both left and right. The Cup guys had never raced stock cars on the Daytona Road Course. They had no practice. They had no experience with this particular layout of Daytona.

That’s not a test of efficiency, it’s a test of accuracy relative to EPA testing regime.

Yup. I have an iPhone for work, Pixel as the personal phone. I would gladly smash the god damned iPhone right now. I do not understand why attaching something to an email is like 4 god damn steps. I do not understand why I need to chase my way through three fucking menus, each accessed in a slightly different way to…

It’s that Alibaba is peddling stuff that is a rip-off of some other company’s R&D for less, not that they are ripping you off as a customer. To be honest, though, Ebay and Amazon do the same thing; it’s actually work now to find what I want on Amazon through all the damn sponsored knock-offs, so now the site is no…

“Will they go after Steam too?”

2016 Cadillac ELR. They already look like a spaceship on the inside and out. Plus they’re so rare, you’ll rarely see another. They are also a plug-in hybrid that gets great gas mileage and uses commonplace Chevy Volt parts, if it needs repaired. While it looks futuristic, the running gear is pretty common and well…

They are all going to move in this direction.

I hope Cadillac’s ambitions for its electric program are modest. Tesla sold about as many cars globally last year as the Chevy Equinox sold in the U.S. alone.

On the other hand, if you saved up for fifteen years in order to buy a new Corvette with cash, it’s totally understandable to be upset that you are finally ready and you can’t buy one through no fault of your own.

Sony Driveman. You heard it here first.

Right. Engineers are busy driving the train.

The epiphany came before any city ordinance, and while I won’t get into details, I’ll just say that it was a deep disappointment. To recover from it, I’m focusing on fortifying my personal life and doing things that bring me genuine joy.

This is why I decided to sell some of my cars—they can get in the way of building…

This went over everyones head

I’ve been saying this for years, other countries will lock own their borders so fast. But when we do it, people lose their minds. It doesn’t matter if the threat is COVID or criminals nor does it matter how low the risk is (the risk is still extremely low that healthy American tourists would “spread” COVID…

So let me get this straight: it’s perfectly fine for migrants from Mexico and Central America to illegally come into the US, and private citizens who try to stop them are outlaws and racists, but when those noble Canadians do the same to illegal Americans, it’s the smart thing for them to do?
