Attention Americans.

“using some alloy they probably didn’t need to develop”

My god, if it’s this “teaching a teenager how to drive,” then scrap the whole thing now!

Just lovely, but the name?

Stick to computers dude.

Exactly, you only need one component missing from your product and it’s an unfinished, unsalable product.

The handbrake is doing you a favor here, ye shall not pass!

Update to the update.

Whoa!!! Awesome event.

Update, apparently a helicopter rescue is on the way today. The cops dropped avgas at the Oodnadatta Pink Roadhouse yesterday to allow the chopper to hop out them. Temps are expected to hit over 40C in the next few days and there are fears it will just get too much for them. The camper will be left until conditions…

For nearly 30 years I worked in the role of CIO, CTO, Technical Adviser and other similar positions. Most of these roles involved being in direct daily contact with company CEO’s, board members and so on. What I came to realize in quite short order was that most of these people were actually quite unintelligent. What…

How on earth do they manage to only get 62 horsepower out of a 2.5-liter turbodiesel? 

There’s a trade off, higher voltages require better insulation, it’s also much more dangerous to the meat sacks holding the cord. This is why house voltages are kept down well below 1000V, to make them (relatively) safer and so the insulation required doesn’t make the cables unwieldy.

I’m sorry Rob but I just can’t give this the required thought. I got totally weirded out at the discussion of a “pissing contest”, “trickling down on them” and haven’t managed to get past it yet.

Another interesting game, I counted at least 16 horribly parked cars in the wacky UK photo. Admittedly a few may be knock on effects from one especially bad parking job but seriously, they are all over the place! Oh and one does have an L plate (Volvo wagon). Also, how short are these parking bays? These are mostly…

One missing and rather vital bit of info, it also includes 380 kW of fuel cells. The mentioned 20 minute “recharge” is weird, from the press release.

This may not be the car for you but you cannot question the value for money, this is the easiest NP in ages.

Most of Australia has a 110km/h max speed limit on country roads, except for the Northern Territory. In the NT they have a 130km/h limit and on the Stuart Highway unlimited sections. But not always. This gets repealed then reinstated every few years as govts change so for a casual visitor you’re never sure.
