Between trying to promote the “benefits” of slavery and hearing reports of supporters also promoting the “benefits” of living in a concentration camp, I can’t believe such a large part of the population is ok with this guy and his supporters. These ideologies should be shut down immediately by everyone and not…

“I’m going to text, eat, drink, and talk on the phone while treating my gas and brake pedals like on/off switches and tailgating the car in front of me within a foot of their bumper.  I’m also going to put the bare minimum effort into developing my driving and improvisational skills.” - a driver

This sounds like the NJ side of the Hudson river across from NYC. I used to live in Jersey City and later in Weehawken and the entire area had atrocious accommodations for cyclists.  The dedicated bike lanes last for a quarter of a mile and then turn into 18" wide hard shoulders and then sidewalks and then the right…

Most people should give up on that level of naivety when they become adults.

This is one of the dumbest ideas ever. The average driver is neither skilled nor intelligent enough to navigate things like yield signs let alone traffic circles with clear signage. What makes the officials in Kalmazoo think that drivers will understand this system?

I would go with a diesel SUV since it will get decent gas mileage and diesel is easier to refine than gasoline. Specifically, I would modify my aging x5 diesel with a bit more suspension travel, all-terrain tires, and of course a cow catcher on the front to plough through post-apocalyptic psychopaths and zombies and…

I live on the East Coast and most of the hotels I see have L2 chargers but there are typically only 2-6 chargers so if you are unlucky, you are stuck without charging.  

I have a PHEV and always try to maximize my efficiency on trips that go beyond my 30 mile electric range.  On work trips, I try and pick coffee and lunch spots based on the availability of L2 chargers so I can top up while drinking/eating and catching up on emails.  I am sure there are many like me and it will only…

I have seen a bunch of Electrify America charging hubs pop up at hotels and big box strip malls in my area so hopefully that means there is some momentum on this.

I agree 1000%. I am in commercial real estate and every time I travel somewhere for work and am at lower altitudes (takeoff/landing), I see acres of large warehouses and big box strip malls and see huge missed opportunities for solar projects. In states with regulated electrical utilities, the SREC credits are…

There should be charging stations at all strip malls and other places where people spend 30+ minutes at a time.  There are plenty of times where I go to a strip mall to hit up Home Depot, Target, and Trader Joes without moving my car and it would be great if it could sit there charging for the hour it takes me to…

I see gaggles of them lining the streets around Times Square and other prominent areas in NYC as well as around small towns and parking lots in NJ. Only one on the road here or there.

It’s not real peanut butter if it has oil, sugar, or any other unnecessary additives.  Peanut butter should only contain peanuts and maybe salt for some people.  When you eat pure peanut butter, you are getting only healthy fats and none of the bad fats from added oil and it is a great product for plant-based protein…

I see groups of middle-aged men trying way too hard to look cool in Slingshots in parking lots and in cities, blasting mediocre music. That seems to be their natural habitat since I see one on the road for every 20 I see parked and trying to look cool.  It is the ultimate showoff car that screams I want attention but…

I agree with you on all counts.  

Weird nerd gamers and death threats are pretty synonymous as well.

It’s about time we take death threats more seriously at the judicial level. They need to be treated the same way as terrorism or even attempted murder. There should be no freedom of speech protections limiting the ability of an app to divulge the personal details of those who make death threats. Each one of these…

Reposted from another response:

Those are a lot of big IFs for driving on the Autobahn. The biggest issue in the USA is that most drivers are unskilled especially when it comes to understanding relative speeds. Another big issue is the crap quality of our roads. If you hit a pothole at 80 mph, it might bend your wheel or even cause a tire bulge or…

I was running a Subaru with just under 350 hp at the crank and managed about 130 mph at my main squeeze (Summit Point), which has a straight of about the same length. I wasn’t necessarily referring to the ability of a car to hit 130+ mph but moreover the challenges of stability and reacting to other objects at that…
