I still advocate for Next Generation Nuclear. Specifically Molten Salt Reactors, and the Thorium Fuel Cycle. Next-Gen designs appear to me to alleviate many of the issues of current-gen pressurized water reactors. MSR designs have been on the books for decades. To me, next-gen nuclear reactor designs means that the…

Tech for Tech’s sake. I see expensive electronic systems that become expensive points of failure. It’s cool that they “Can” do this stuff, innovation is great, but “Should” they do this stuff? Cameras and HD screens replacing rearview and sideview mirrors? What happens when they inevitably fail? It will cost a fortune…

Another monument to greed, excess, and waste. Stop Worshiping Billionaires.

Oh, Snap!

Funny how people’s attitudes change when something threatens to directly inconvenience them.

So, if we take Ford as the example, the next Camaro will be a re-badged and Electrified 2024 Buick Encore. The E-Maro.

I am still of the opinion that Next Generation Nuclear reactors will solve many/most of the problems with current gen reactors which have been around for decades. Specifically, Molten Salt Reactors using the Thorium Fuel Cycle. They are not pressurized. They are not Water-Cooled. They are Self-Moderating. The Fuel is…

Guy’s the driver. He knows what he feels. He’s not the team of designers, engineers, mechanics or decision-makers for the team. He’s keeping it vague so as to not publicly embarrass his team, because they -could- lay down on him.

I don’t see where Hamilton is out of line at all in his comments. Throwing MB under the bus? The argument can be made that MB has thrown its own drivers under the bus by allegedly ignoring direct feedback from the people driving the actual cars. Hamilton is saying the team can certainly turn it around, all they have…

Going forward it is increasingly important to me to avoid owning a “Connected” vehicle. I don’t want OTA updates. I don’t want wi-fi or internet connectivity. I don’t want built-in features of my vehicle enabled or disabled remotely by a fee-based subscription. I don’t want my driving data harvested and sold to the…

Came here to say the same thing. The new “Next Gen” cars are the best looking cup cars we’ve had in 20 years.

Another ship, Andrei?

Agreed all points. I think HD has gone to great lengths to stay true to their history and their core target market. I always thought the Lifestyle side and Rider Gear and Scremin’ Eagle performance parts divisions were big assets for HD - they definitely knew the value of the HD brand. For years HD lagged behind…

At least North Wilkesboro is being ressurected. That mess last night was just too contrived. A publicity stunt.. and judging by the empty seats, not many fell for it.

Rear-steer. If you hit the steering wheel trying to exit the forklift you can cause it to steer right where you are going to land if you jump off. A forklift never really travels in a straight line without constant steering inputs from the operator, and doesn’t generally return to a neutral straight-ahead driving…

Is it raining? ‘Cause I’m standing in a puddle..

Still, I don’t really recall where MJ or LBJ has spent time pontificating on what people should actually be doing. They aren’t handing out life or financial advice or instructing people to do anything. There’s no direct appeal to an audience. Only thing I can think of is that LeBron (rightly) used his status as one of…

I know what you are saying. It doesn’t seem to quite be that simple. MJ and LBJ are definitely very Influential, but are they truly “Influencers” in the same vein as these grifters? Isn’t their influence outside the sport mainly due to Smart Branding? They are the biggest stars of their respective eras in the sport,…

Call in Crazy Ernie.

That will be sure to impress at the Dunkin’ Donuts drive-thru
