Didn’t even think about rolling resistance variation on different terrains. That makes perfect sense, but I don’t have an answer for it either. This sounds like a question that’s rather complicated to answer.

I am well outside my wheelhouse here, but isn’t the figure you’re referring to (where fuel economy drops after a certain speed) primarily due to the aerodynamic efficiency of cars being optimized for around 50-60mph?

Study at Oak Ridge from a few years ago put the figure at 40-50mph, but searching around, I can’t find…

Is there a point at which adding more fuel ceases to increase efficiency? I mean, the more you add, the longer you have to haul the fuel weight for the majority of the run. I know there’s a curve for this with both airplanes and rockets - it stands to reason that there may be one for cars as well, but I don’t know if…

7 years on, I suppose I still agree with this.

Even if I’ve long since stopped using Yelp :)

Plus, take all of the ones that are at “end-of-life” (and still hold 80% of their original charge) and stick em in a facility to be used for grid storage.

Jesus fucking Christ what

Paying for music is not a lifehack

It’s literally commerce and nothing else

Do I have to go to Jezebel for my lifehacks now?

This is some good sports-adjacent content.

In a hospital bed lay a young girl—no older than 16. She was pregnant. We watched her give birth (in retrospect, it was terribly produced, but I did not notice at the age of 10), and once the baby was born, the person playing the doctor announced that she did not want the baby. Then, without hesitation, the…

Ah, but can Jim Spanfeller G/O fuck himself to your friend’s band? That’s the question.

I completely approve of the rebellion you’re currently engaged in against your corporate overlords. And if any of them are reading this comment, please know that literally the only reason I read this article (and saw their obnoxious ads on it) is because it’s about something besides just sports.

wtf is on her face

So... Sincere question.

Are the extras anything that matters for gameplay, or are they just like, “Special Edition Red Hat with Gold Fleur de Lis” or other stuff I don’t care about?

Wow. Had no idea.

What it at least (possibly) implies to me is that I can buy a clean Steam version without the extra launcher. Since I don’t currently have GTAV installed, that may be my choice :) I’ve waited this long for RDR2; one more month is nothing.

Watched it on Prime during my year-end catchup in December - looks like it’s still there.

+10. I’m recording a podcast review of Joker tonight, and I’m glad you mentioned this - an easy recommendation for anyone who likes Phoenix’s acting, but for whom that’s the only draw for Joker.

I like to think it’s the movie War Horse somehow.

Red Dead Redemption 2 will first be available through the Rockstar Games Launcher, and also available for pre-order on the Epic Games Store and Humble Store. The Steam version will be available for purchase in December.

Hell, when I bought GTAV on Steam, it included the Rockstar Games Launcher.

In goes a shockingly average movie that I’d probably rate under Four Brothers

It’s fine to say it’ll never happen for that reason, but “hold up”? In the legal sense?

Congress can do what it wants, dude. Impeach for anything they deem to be a high crime or misdemeanor. Anything at all. Whether a prior law existed for it or not.

The Judicial Branch is not a check on the act of impeachment -…
