So this startup will give us electric planes as soon as someone else figures out the battery technology? And have a ten year turnaround on the design, build and test? If nothing else when the battery tech becomes realistic to use for aircraft Boeing will be all over that shit, or maybe even Cessna or Piper. This is…

You are both correct.

You could work out deals with airports to do straight up battery pack swaps or something but this is the least of my concerns with electric aviation

Does he have a writeup on how he did this lift? I want to do something similar, a little less extreme to mine

My friend has a manual SX4, at least being in the passenger seat it feels like a fun enough car

Are they still putting those shitty Dunlops on them from factory? Might as well just get new wheels and tires now.

1990 Nissan Maxima?

I will happily use that excuse any chance I have but reality is I know exactly how fast I’m going based on the gear I’m in and the sound of my engine

I want all of this and will be able to afford none of it

They seem to have addressed the issue but back around 2006 those runflats were incredibly noisy as well

I think it looks fantastic, my only concern is how will it age? All those colors will scuff and stain at different rates and you will eventually start losing contrast.

I feel like it’s a personal responsibility to understand what you are publishing. Especially if you’re going to be bashing it and acting like you’re so much smarter than than the regulators and the automotive industry combined which apparently is a little smarter than an average bear.

That’s almost 9 times the American golden standard. You must tow a lot and drive several smidges over the posted limit

You’re trolling, right?

I wrote a paper on foam based solutions that got a little attention. It was mostly just a disguised dick joke submitted to an innovation challenge but I still think it would be a good solution. The trick with small drones is cost effectiveness, we have the missiles that can shoot a nuke coming down from orbit, we can…

It’s not like it’s a Ferrari where the both the high upfront and ownership costs are excessive and explicit. What an asshole this rich guy must be for being able to afford something reasonably nice and expect decent service. I’m sure he has absolutely no better use for a few extra Gs. And I wouldn’t recommend a Malibu…

But the CLA is a baby Benz, they are diluting their brand with it to get those keeping up with the Jones’ sales. It will come back to them eventually

I used to hate Tokyo Drift but it has grown on me, it’s now my second favorite in the franchise. You should give it a second chance.

To be fair though,the first three movies were awesome

Oddly enough I worked on a submarine drone that transmits data using sondes in grad school. They should hire me.
