Oh man! This with bronze wheels and knobby tires is one of the best looking SUVs in the last 15 years. 

The LS was never based on the Avalon chassis. The Avalon is a FWD car, and the LS was RWD or AWD. They were originally based on the Toyota Celsior and then the Century. The current model is based on the TNGA-L platform which underpins the LC, Crown, and Mirai.

If Tesla wasn’t run by an egomaniacal douche wagon, they could have easily made small panel van and pick-up truck versions of the Model Y. They also could have made a small roadster from the Model 3... but noooo! We get the Cybertruck, a minor facelift, removal of stalks, and unbridled bigotry, right wing…

I really hope the Scout doesn’t have VW sheet metal. That would kind of defeat the purpose ;)

What is the BMW i6? 

Another, more benign reason for app lock is for when you give your child/niece or nephew your phone to play games it can keep them from doing other shit. 

I already hate the forced Smart TV crap on my TV, I absolutely don’t want the same shit popping up on my computer monitor.  

Alexa and setting up and using routines has gone to shit lately. You basically have to yell at her, and the value proposition has gone way down. 

My Tesla Model Y has a similar setup and it’s the dumbest shit ever. The fastest way to access it is to flash the brights, which opens it in the UI for about 3 seconds... 

Suggestion failed, started singing Foo Fighters “Learn to Fly” instead. 

Water is a really good radiation shield. Just a meter of water would be enough to protect humans against the radiation from the universe and sun on our trip to Mars, so the hundreds of meters of ice is more than likely enough to protect any potential life from the rads from Jupiter.

You can buy nearly the exact same bike from Honda, brand new, for around the same price.

It wouldn’t be the first time, and we semi-regularly launch missions with plenty of highly enriched plutonium onboard in the form of RTGs. While it’s not as pure as this would be, an accident wouldn’t be a nothingburger.

While watching this, I thought back to how the original Lion King was such a technological masterpiece in animation, and how I remember watching the “Making Off” videos, where the animators went to Africa to observe the movements of all the animals... That lead me to two trains of thought.

The iPhone doesn’t even need to be rebooted, just hold Volume and Home long enough to get to the Power/Emergency Screen and let go. It will ask for the password next time you try to unlock.

Volkswagen just released a video about their RooBadge, designed to emit noise to deter kangaroos from the roads.

This one hurt since it looked like it was 90% of the way there... Only for them to release that bland econobox looking thing.

How did the Saab Aero-X not end up on this list?

It may be helpful to see a picture of what they look like in/on someone’s ears. At this point, I can barely tell where the sound comes out.

I had a 2006 Legacy GT with a bunch of SPT mods, bigger injectors and an aggressive tune, putting out about 300whp, and when I inevitably blew a head gasket, I almost threw a built STI motor in... unfortunately, I just didn’t have the $6k-$8k to do that, and instead fixed it for $2k... then a year later I spun a…
