And now I need to go watch that, perhaps for a second time. It’s possible I’ve seen it at least once.

That’s not fair to boats. I’ve been on some sailboats that were incredibly well built and gorgeous as well. They were pure pleasure to sail for a weekend or more.

Came to point this out. I’m glad I wasn’t the first.

Sadly, you are correct.

As I understand it Rowan is a huge gear head.

His travel shows are fun, the cooking one got old real quick.

Frankie Muniz maybe?  He can act, can do comedy, and more or less gave up acting to race.

Dax might be a good choice, but Joe Rogan lacks something, charm, tact, he always comes across as forced. It doesn’t matter if you’re talking about his time hosting Fear Factor or his podcast, it always feels like he’s trying to force it. He tries too hard to get the contestants hyped up. It’s like a bad public…

And his being an ass is part of the equation. I feel like the three of them are good friends and enjoy pranking each other along the way.  Or they’re really good actors.

To be fair, most German engineered cars are better than a similarly priced comparable vehicle from a US manufacturer.  But yeah, apples and oranges.  “Car guys” aren’t exactly the target audience of EV manufacturers.

Good info, thank you.

Looking at the bridge on a satellite image, there are significant breakwaters around the base of each tower and those towers look like they’re in water too shallow for most cargo vessels. And when I looked at them on a marine chart, the water around the bases is less than 30 feet. A modern cargo ship will run aground…

It is regulated, but could use more enforcement, and likely more regulation.

And duct tape and bubble gum?

They also misspelled the name of the bridge. There’s two Zs in it according to most every other source.

I read an article in the last month or so on that exact question. Sadly, I can not find it again. I do remember that the cost of research and design of EVs is still high enough that it makes the overall cost of an EV from design to production and then 20 years of simulated/calculated use higher than a similar ICEV,…

Most large batteries like those in EVs are already sent off to have most of the materials recycled. Small batteries like those in laptops, phones, tablets, and tools are already sent for recycling as well.

Yes, we should be moving to more mass transit and less commuting. We should strive for walkable cities and other programs that reduce our use of individual vehicles.

This might not fully fit your request but it could be a good start.

Note: TSA pays about $23/hour in WA.  That’s not much above the minimum wage in the City of SeaTac, where SeaTac Airport is.  The TSA is not exactly attracting the best and the brightest.
