I love the idea that 95% of the hipsters shopping in these stores were probably spraining their wrists from patting themselves on the back so hard for embracing the “cutting edge” technology and probably didn’t have a clue that the majority of their orders were effectively being rung up by someone making 5% of minimum…

Radio phone. I’m not sure exactly how it worked in detail but radio-based versus microwave on modern cell networks. 

I don’t know if they’re the same, but I saw the tomorrowland speedway for the first time in-person as an adult and just couldn’t believe that even a child would wait in line for that thing. Those things looked like they topped out at approximately a walking speed, and they’re on sort of a railroad track so the amount…

The most likely explanation for the drop in interest appears to be Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s personal behavior.

I will admit I don’t closely follow the underlying details/circumstances of train accidents, but have any of the recent accidents been situations where the facts suggest that it somehow may have been avoided had the train had additional people on board?

A 76K truck with a 1.4k payment means the payment is 1.8% of the vehicle price per month. The truck and it’s payment seem fairly reasonable, the only part that doesn’t seem reasonable is someone acquiring a 76k truck with 1.4k payment if that is not within their means. 

Presumably they would easily be designed to not allow for false positives to easily happen. Similar to how automatic overhead sprinklers are designed to only open if they experience a SUBSTANTIAL amount of heat to break that seal, I would be surprised if a little flare up or a hot cast iron multiple feet away from the…

Nailed it, came to say exactly this. This freaking old timey video is the best dang explanation of a differential that ever has or ever will exist. 

Pretty bold of you to assume that “can I afford it” is a criteria that even cracks the top ten list of importance for the average US car buyer...

You’re counting too many turns for the south/north pole paradox thing to work. From the north pole, you would depart southward, turn #1 has you going east/west, turn #2 has you returning north home, no turn #3 is required. You’re basically walking a triangle, assuming you start from one vertex of the triangle, you…

#4 I think is that they’re triplets (or technically could be quadruplets or other larger set) that way they share the same biological parents but are technically “not twins”

You’re overthinking #1. It’s a boat, so the tide goes up, so does the boat. 

I mean what you’re referring to as “gaming the system” kind of just sounds like what most people would call “marketing”?

If you’ve been paying attention to the airline industry lately, you’re probably aware there’s been a string of incidents that Boeing probably wishes hadn’t made the news. Considering how much negative attention Boeing has attracted recently, including news that its CEO plans to resign, it would be understandable if…

So we’re comparing the CO2 to make the battery with the CO2 of fuel burn and just going to pretend that every EV is charging entirely off renewables?

Grammar police and a phallic joke all in one comment? It’s a shame this site only let’s me grant you one star for your achievements 

Reminds me of a story from college.

Standard practice, the options for a manufacturer are remove it and re-install at the end of the show, or leave it installed for some show-goer to eventually remove it and then buy a replacement after the show. 

Love the color but come on bro it’s a thread about paint colors and you select a pic with the least amount of visible paint possible haha 

While add-ons are generally a ripoff, the one factor you don’t give credit for in your comment is it’s not just the dealer selling you something today versus tomorrow. Some of the value to them is getting you locked in today buying from that dealer versus potentially buying your service from some other dealer down the…
