So instead, they contribute to the same problem, then bemoan the situation they’ve created. Either knuckle down and help, or stop whining. Doing both is just hypocritical.

My 2012 still has a key (But it’s one of those god-awful switchblade ones).

I can’t tell if you’re being intentionally stupid as a joke, but take a wire on your car - any wire will do. Follow it to both ends. You won’t find a soldered connected the entire length of it. You’ll definitely find crimps though.

Fuel injected bike, no reserve for this lad.

Agreed, and thanks for the response, that makes more sense.

I enjoy debating. Don’t ever feel like because we disagreed about one thing, we can’t agree about something else. I still respect you, even when we’re on opposite sides of a debate!

Two things:

One individual? No, of course not. The sum of individuals? Absolutely.

I am an idiot, so bear that in mind before you’re mean in the responses: How do any of these actions make the team carbon-neutral? A bunch of them are helping to use less. But none of them appear to be carbon capturing, which is what would be needed for a truly carbon-neutral team to exist in a sport that produces…

And again I say: Just go back to a tiny fob for the wireless stuff (Door unlock/lock) which let’s us shrink that way down, and a key for the ignition. Trying to smoosh them together just makes a chonky fob, and they’re ugly and awkward.

My motorbike doesn’t even have a gas gauge. Just a little light that pops on to let me know I’m about two minutes away from being empty.

Alright, say there isn’t demand, say it’s exclusively investor driven: So what? There’s still obviously money trading hands for the prospect of “Drivers being taxis” and “Drivers being food delivery people”. In either case, the drivers are clearly necessary for the business. At the bare damn minimum, we’re still…

Crimped connectors definitely take a bit of work to learn, especially considering you can’t actually see your work - the only way you know if you did it right or wrong is if it holds up. As annoying as it is to hear, step one is to get a good crimping tool, not the $5 el-cheapo one you can get at Harbour Freight. Get…

Clearly there’s a demand for the service, otherwise those companies wouldn’t be worth billions. If there is a service, the drivers are very clearly needed by those companies.

Welcome to literally every business ever. Prices go up so a living wage can be maintained. Arguing against that is a great way to make sure the wealth divide continues to grow.

People are too stupid to save themselves, is the issue. Look at how many folks complain about the wealth gap, yet will ignore their local businesses to order stuff from Amazon, or skip over their local greengrocer to shop at Walmart.

...The solid axle 1/2 ton rear end? That would require basically a complete redesign of the rear end. Definitely not just “throw a couple parts on” level of redesign.

450HP is a noticeable drop compared to 625HP, that’s an almost 50% hike in stress on those parts. That on its own is a good reason why they haven’t offered it.

Correct. Same goes for aircraft as well. Crimping connectors is preferred to soldering for both strength and longevity.

Cooling, and, you know, everything else behind the engine.
