Counter point. You’ll be camping much more often waiting for your solar panels to charge it to drive again ;-)

I prefered the USCAM label for it ;-)

Do you like weekends? 40 hour work weeks?  Unions played large parts of that.

In my home suburb of Rochester NY, our local school district would start the diesel buses at like 3-4am to have them ready for the morning runs. Assume that was to have them at a safe reliable engine temp (and from this article I guess to heat the interiors). That’s a fair amount of wasted fuel.

Sadly we haven’t found a cure for Mississippi, Alabama, Texas and FL yet

I personally would prefer a sleeper laptop. Something that looks like a boring Lenovo, but rocks some serious GPU muscle behind it.

Dammit, the password on my luggage! 

What boggles my mind is the stupidity of telling people that the password for their burner Kinja account must totally be the same security level as their bank account.

I had a significant other long ago who’s family practice was to never tell anyone what they wanted, but to drop hints throughout the year making a game of it.   <runs screaming into the capitalist void>

It’s a terrible idea on a number of levels but I’d love to have the US supply Europe with natural gas and watch Putin absolutely lose his shi...dictatorship.

Kessler Syndrome has endlessly fascinated me given that it was predicted 45 years ago.

I’m assuming an EMP is several orders of magnitude larger than ‘normal’ things sat’s need to deal with. Even X-class flares from the Sun are survivable if you have warning.

Ahh, that’s not a bad idea!

Appreciate the informative response :) Conservation of energy is such a problematic nag...haha

or it’s just the T2000 version of Will It Blend

The video shows the payload crashing through some sort of fabric cover on the opening.  Which just seems like it would add some serious variability in it’s path.

I like marveling that humanity’s penchant for polluting ‘over the hill’ actually works in terms of the Sun. We can literally send the entire planet in and it won’t so much as burp.
