People who makes enough money to pay substantial amount of tax don’t actually qualify for those credit; not in the past; not now; not likely in the future.

Delay the ban until the SF to LA highspeed train is completed. Should give plenty of time.

A long time ago, Google handed out $1,000 “holiday cash” to every employee before Christmas. I heard that in the beginning it was literally cash in an envelope; but by my time it was direct deposit. They even paid income tax so you gets the full $1k after tax. $1k isn’t much compared to the average compensations of…

IndyCar needs to clarify if this kind of driving is acceptable. If it’s not acceptable, punish Newgarden. If it’s acceptable, say so unequivocally, so other drivers know what to do in the future.

The U.S. is also buying a LOT more oil from Russia since the start of the Ukraine invasion. So what's the big deal with a bit of dirty oil from Canada?

Interestingly I had almost the same experience. It was in the early 2000s. A friend reserved a small box truck for moving; but the only thing they have is this 26ft diesel truck with manual transmission (for the same price). Luckily I can drive manual so we took it.

The C7 Corvette. It’s always tricky getting to the 2nd gear. One slip of mind is all it takes to hear that dreaded gear grinding noise. Dealer told me it’s normal; GM told me they can offer me a coupon for the hassle.

The rising sea level will solve that problem.

I was getting diesel the other day; the pump must have some kind of problem, because it was going really slow. It took about 12 minutes to pump 22 gallon of fuel. And that give me this idea:

$100k for a brand new bus? Did you time travel from 1903?

On modern diesel engines, cheap oil is actually worse than old oil. My diesel van requires “low ash” oil, which costs about $140 from online discount retailer for one oil change. Cheaper oil will clog up the diesel particulate filter, which won’t be fun.

Mercedes just sent a notice to a bunch of owners of the NCV3 Sprinter vans, telling them the service interval has been updated to 20,000 miles (from 10,000 miles). That’s 32,000km between oil changes. I’m going to stick to the 10,000 mile interval, but apparently Mercedes doesn’t think that’s necessary.

The StarLink satellite actively changed its orbit, into a collision course with the Chinese space station. It’s quite different from some random space junk, which you can track and plan for.

I don’t think that’s possible. Unlike traditional combustible materials, lithium battery doesn’t require oxygen to work. The energy stored inside have to go somewhere. Whatever material you got for the insulator, once it absorbs that much energy, it’ll be glowing red hot, and instantly set fire to anything else in…

Time to ban your dumb ass.

IMHO pitting shouldn’t be allowed under VSC or Safety Car. It offers too big of an advantage to random teams. I want to watch drivers and teams duel it out on the track; instead I get to watch a fancy lottery.

IMHO, the cold air thrusters will be used to increase the traction of the tires. For example, they can point at the sky to press the car into the ground. Or they can be used to create a vacuum under the car. They don’t have to propel the car forward.

The captain of the ship might not have much leeway. They are in a convoy; their ship is under control of the SCA pilot. Sure the captain could refuse to do what the SCA wants, but it could result in fines or even bans from the canal.

A few years ago we hired a couple of day labors to help with some work. We had this big bathtub sitting in the middle of my unfinished basement. It’s kinda odd and in the way, but it’s so heavy I never bothered to move it. One of the guys offered to help moving it, and I mentioned that I have no use for it and I also…

Good.
