presumably, that’s the gear reduction (i.e. torque multiplication) effect of that two-speed transmission connecting the electric motor to the rear axle

I fall under number 2 when I rent a car 90% of the time. I also see a lot more hotels with chargers in the parking lot these days. I think you’ll see more people get comfortable with an EV after having one for a rental like that. 

2) That sounds great until you find out that the car has to be returned full of electrons, or they will bill you an extra $2/KWh to recharge.

God I’m so tired. I kept reading “Strange New Worlds”, and was confused how and why Disney was making Star Trek. I need sleep.

First gear:

I mean, with 700-plus lb-ft, the shape of the torque curve is almost irrelevant

A settlement would have to be registered and documented with the court. This looks more like an under-the-table payoff. Which is arguably to the family’s benefit because they can avoid taxes and fees (so long as they’re careful and don’t flash it around), but moreso it works in the defendants’ interest because a…

I feel like they reached a settlement and if so good for them but man that Deadline statement sounds like Haddish had a gun to Jane Doe's head while she was making it. 

the rules to surviving a slasher movie, outlined in Wes Craven’s Scream (1996), speak to thinly veiled racist and misogynistic values of Reagan-era politics and Satanic Panic fear-mongering ginned up by parents’ groups

I was able to snag $1k off on my old ‘16 Sonata Limited PHEV by being signed up as an Uber driver for two weeks before purchasing, it was a promotion they were running at the time between Hyundai and Uber. No one wanted a fuel efficient car back then and I had a Passat TDI waiting to be bought back so I waited it out…

I mean every movie is fictionalized if it’s not a documentary.

I don’t know, 1776 goes out of its way to discuss the various sordid compromises required to bring the slave states on board with independence, and even addresses Northern hypocrisy in denouncing the slave trade with one hand while profiting massively from it with the other. It’s far from perfect—Thomas Jefferson in…

But they don’t all try to turn slave-traders into heroes.

I am loathe to defend someone for using the word “edutainment”, but the fact is movies have been distorting and exaggerating history since the birth of the medium.

In total fairness, sure, Saving Private Ryan invents a US army platoon and a rescue mission. But it doesn’t, I dunno, try to make it seem like the Germans were heroically fighting to save France from the evil invading British and Americans.

but aren’t all historical dramas fictionalised to a certain point? why should one this be any different?

You mean another "real" story like Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra? I bet you learned all sorts of historically accurate facts about Egypt with that Hollywood movie.

You mean like what? They should do like “Braveheart?” No. Not that. Almost entirely fictional, that one. Also...Mel Gibson.

Historical films change things all the time. Often great ones. 

I am loathe to defend someone for using the word “edutainment”, but the fact is movies have been distorting and exaggerating history since the birth of the medium. Buzzwords aside, I think Davis and Tennon seem pretty knowledgable about the real story and aware of the limits of of big budget studio filmmaking. The…
