I’m no EE, but I don’t think that’s how super capacitors work. They are an open circuit with two plates that are insulated from each other. They have fancy electrodes and electrolytes folded into different shapes to fit different housings, but the general construction and current flow is the same as a regular…

That’s absolutely brilliant. I’m a little extra nerded out since I spent 6 years in a shop as their primary wheel alignment technician (and that was 10 years ago when I quit already... time flies).

I don’t think its ultimate origin and the path by which it was communicated to humans have been definitively traced.  In a posting updated on February 13, the CDC notes that COVID-19 is of a type of coronavirus is typically associated with bats. In an article published on the 10th and updated on the 13th, the New York…

And yet you seemed to fit very comfortably in a 2-D pane of glass with a couple other people, Zod. Get over it.

“Then we have a wagon full of phones that I’m paying an old German man to carry around the city along our escape route. The police will see solid red. We can walk right down the street in broad daylight.”

My Italian isn’t super awesome, but this is how I interpreted the name - Thoroughbred, not Pure Blood, although when translated literally as two separate words, it does mean “pure blood”.

Are the Vogons armed with poetry?

This reminds me of Corporal Voytek, the Syrian brown bear that a corps of Polish soldiers enlisted after buying him in a railway station in Iran in the 40's during WWII. They used to leave him sitting in a passenger seat to guard the ammunition while they were deployed in Italy. 

Alanis saved my life more than anyone will ever know, providing much needed backup for Jalopnik’s racing coverage when I really, really needed it. Trying to keep an eye on all the racing series all the time was exhausting as the only person here who was paying close attention to it, and being able to trade off weekend…

Well, shit. 

That’s funny, the last I checked, Ford couldn’t get out of Vietnam fast enough!

“Easy to get in and out of because you’re fat and have bad knees.”

Bosch did file the patent application on September 18th 2018 but they had already made a “priority application” on September 22nd 2017. So they were already making the early steps for the patent when the article was published but the final application wasn’t yet filed. I think that only the final version is public so…

i think they are right....

Is it just me or does it sound like he’s actually saying that the idea of women wanting a different car than men is in itself stupid?
