As a Denver resident I remember all the shit-talking coming into that SB and then images like this after:

I figure the oil will warm up well before the coolant will.

It wasn’t always like this. A decade ago I got a nice deal on a CPO 3-year old Taco. When I got rid of it I got most of that back, too.

My mom drove an ‘80s Delta 88 with the 350 diesel when I was a kid. Agree on the driving experience. The ~35mpg economy was a nice bonus. Despite the reputation, it was actually quite reliable.

Starred for “noikling”

Same for me in my wagon. In my old car (a sedan), people were fine. Now? I am constantly getting cut off, or tailgated. People typecast the hell out of you based on your vehicle. 

Make it a plugin hybrid with ~50-60 miles of EV range, and AWD, and I’m in.

I recently traded a BMW for a VW, one of the primary reasons being to get back into a manual.

Or, if you’re still anxious and you’ve got the space, workout at home. Even with no equipment you can get a great full body workout using any number of exercise videos. Many are designed to be doable in a hotel room, so you really don’t need a lot of space. If you purchase a few basics like dumbbells and maybe a…

They also used to have spicy nuggets IIRC. And up until like last year, their breakfast burrito was pretty solid.

Some places have started implementing auto-calculators into their payment mechanisms and sometimes the defaults are weirdly low. Village Inn in particular has buttons on the credit card keypad for 12%, 15%, and 18%, I believe. Anything else and you have to hit an extra button to customize it. I wonder what effect…

I’ve never been hit myself, but I did watch someone get hit pretty good one night a few years ago. It was a pretty good hit, too. Victim got launched at least 5-6 feet forward and landed on the pavement. Before I had a chance to pull my phone out he was already up, yelled something at the car, then stumbled away into…

The provided software seems very limited. Is it locked down or can you roll your own analysis platform?

Not to mention it’s fairly easy to tune the engine for those 1000 lb-ft of torque... just turn up the boost a bit and call it a day.

But what about the people violently squeezing all the avocados?

Well, their whole concept operates on the contention that they are able to do some kind of beamshaping (using bluetooth beacons for device location) to direct the RF energy precisely to the device (even while its moving). In theory, there’s not much waste energy.

No kidding. That’s a lot of RF energy. I wonder what kind of R&D they’ve done around the safety aspect of this.

From what I can tell, a WAP has a max transmit power of 200mW (0.2 Watts) at 5GHz or 100mW at 2.4.

Their whitepaper cites up to 20 watts delivered to a device when you’re nearby the source.

Good to know! And they are pretty reasonably priced too. Although I don’t know if I could pull off a red accent against the green car as well as it works with your blue.
