A real American drives something like this

Something you can’t get in Australia? This should still be for sale

At some point we have to admit that the “war on drugs” was a waste of time. It seems like it corrupts everyone involved, even those supposed to be “fighting” it.

Makes you wonder what else he’s helped himself to from the evidence locker…

The existence of these types of people within departments is not the big issue. There are bad people everywhere. The issue is that people like this are allowed to continue to operate and even get put into positions like acting Sergeant and President of the FOP. His “brothers” will defend him and the good cops will…

There is not a single Narcotics Unit that doesn’t have stories like this.

The FOP and this were the most disturbing aspects to me:

“out of alignment with the proper practice of having the state issue special license plates for undercover police officers.”
No, it’s a felony and the cop should be arrested and tried plus the department should be sanctioned for allowing it.  All the costs of the case should also be taken from the PD’s pension fund,…

This seems like a pretty obvious case of Bad Cop Being Bad. Why would this guy not be bounced out on his ass, again?

Of course he does. They love cops who consider themselves above the law. Means they have the backing to do whatever they want, too.

The time to recharge from 20% to 100% doesn’t really change, as long as you have enough input power. It’s related to the battery chemistry, not the size of the battery - you can only add energy at a certain rate before you start to cause damage to the cell.

I really hate this fad.

Someone here was completely clueless about the tech behind batteries and motors, a motor sized for a constant amount of ‘x’ power can generally develop burst ratings 2-4x higher than that for short periods given enough cooling, a bigger motor means more regenerative braking, for smaller brakes, not vice versa, a…

Let’s be real here. The horsepower wars started before EVs got in on the game. Look at all the supercars from the last 10 years or so, especially from big hypercar manufacturers like Koenigsegg, Bugatti, and to a lesser extent, Pagani. It’s just easier to extract horsepower from an EV powertrain, so the one-upsmanship…

Most people don’t even take their Jeeps to the local off road park, Moab or the Rubicon...

I can say that I am Honda’s target audience... I fish every weekend in the mountains in CO. 90+% of my drive is on pavement, with the last 2-10 miles being a dirt road. I do this in my Focus ST, and so far, have not gotten…

I’ve liked Patrick Stewart as long as I’ve known who he was (recall his silly Sejanus wig in I, Claudius), but I remember when Lynch’s Dune came out (Picard was a few years yet to happen) thinking, “now there’s an actor who couldn’t resemble book Gurney less.” Brolin, and even the guy in the miniseries, are way closer.

Seconded. Villeneuve’s movies aren’t always perfect* but right now I don’t think anyone matches his talent for visuals, and seeing anything he does on the big screen is a treat.

I will happily wear a mask for 2 hours and 35 minutes to go see this on a big screen. Can't wait.

This is a weird vehicle to complain about the size of. As soon as autonomy hits a level where people don’t have to worry about parking everyone of means will be buying the largest personal limo they can source. Hell, just daily an electric RV, no need to rush your morning to shower at home!

I think it’s their way of admitting that, without a turbo, the 2.5 isn’t up to the job of a bigger lift/bigger tires.
