Hush child, this isn’t the review for you. 

Yeah, he’s made it run cooler, but man that power and cooler is a mess waiting to happen. 

The issue is with the 2.7's and a specific batch of those.  Supposedly due to a specific valves and valve cover, which have been corrected, but there’s still a lot on the road with the suspect ones. 

Yeah, this.

Honest question.. did you know what a bonobo was prior to this article? I haven’t heard of it before myself.

So here’s a thought exercise.. would you be willing to have the police have remote kill switches to stop cars to end chases? 

It’s very unfortunate about that truck, but, how often in these chases does  the vehicle still wind up getting wrapped around a guardrail or the front of a cruiser? 

The curse of that 2-door shorty is that the rear seats don’t fold flat, so you’re level with about 12" of depth to put in anything that you don’t want to fall over when you touch the brakes once. 

A guy with a knife could have done the same damage with the way these cops responded. 

Related.. While the Sequoia update is welcome.. they left a lot on the table that they could have included from the LC appearance. I guess they think Americans only want the botox fenders and overdone grills.

And it’s more disappointing when the Sequoia is the first out of the gates with the design upgrades from the Land Cruiser. 

I wish there was more to pick from.  I need a larger SUV, and it seems the Exploder is the only non-plug hybrid that’s out there. 

That’s valid as well.  As it is here in CA, I see charging stations near capacity a lot of the time.  I don’t see how the state can meet it’s goals for EV without a huge infrastructure change.  Then you have larger states like Texas that require even greater distances. 

One of the best articles I’ve read here.  Learned a lot of new things today!

Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud.

The problem with making satellites “less shiny” is that you then make them more likely to fail, thus creating more space junk.  The coatings that look like gold foil protect the satellite from various bands of radiation which would otherwise fry electronics on the craft. 

I’ve seen the 12 or so different varieties they have on the shelf at H-Mart here, and they are all terrifying to me.. Is there one that’s got the flavor that’s on the mild side? (how spicy is the curry one? is it chili spicy, or is it curry spicy?)

No no no.. you’re missing the beauty of this.. the CCCP will approve this hair-brained idea, so we just pump double the seawater they need, then build the desalinization plant in Utah,  and put that water into the Colorado river system. 

A rotating panel might use less juice, but you would run the risk of it getting stuck during the rotation.

Race style ones are meant for the desert southwest where you have dunes and whatnot.  But if you don’t live close there, you can rent them for the day.
