Except it’s not. The CDC has said the best case mathematical fit shows a 0.26% mortality rate. It’s not 1% as you say is current, and it could be as low as 0.1%, which is on par with a moderate flu season.

Yes, someone from Microsoft discussed that the  “Series X will resume multiple games from a suspended state whether you’re switching games, rebooting the console or resuming from standby.” 

Borderlands 3 also has a setting on console where you can choose priority over framerate or resolution.  I appreciate it, considering how crazy the game can get with some builds, and I’m definitely impressed with how well it looks (both framerate and resolution) while playing.

By the time I left college, I had only driven a car a handful of times. We had SUVs and pickups for working on the farm. I’ve been driving semi-trucks since I was 16 (it’s legal in many midwest states for farmkids). I still daily drive my ‘99 F150 from high school. I have the exact opposite issue, where being so close…

My grandma in SD owns a BMW, and my uncle has to take 3.5 hours to get it worked on at the nearest BMW dealer.  It’s as annoying as you thought it would be.

In my time in R&D, I investigated a system much like Porsche’s (including building and testing one in-vehicle), and put together a fair amount of research.

We happened to be in the process of closing when the stay-at-home orders went out. It made the closing process way more interesting. Our title company was even investigating a “closing from our car”, by signing most of the documents virtually, and being “in-person” only for the ones we have to wet-sign. Sadly, the…

You know, I’ve played hundreds of hours of the Pandemic board game, and I remember that one of the most important goals to beat the game was to relieve the debt of the United States Postal Service. Once we did that, it fixed so many things, and we were in the end game! /s

David, thank you for putting the date in the Reverse gear.  Such a simple thing that I wish your fellow writers did every day.  

I’m from SD originally, and I had arguments with people from IN all the time about when I called SD “Midwest”. They were adamant that SD is considered the “Great Plains” not the Midwest, and IN, OH, MI, etc, were considered the Midwest. I them always referenced SD as the “Greater Midwest”, and IN as the “Old West” just…

...in a bid to preserve mechanical skills...

I was wondering why I couldn’t read it.  Thought I was losing my grip on Aurebesh, and was gonna look it up later.  You’ve saved me the trouble haha

If this had been before their pricing model came out, I would have agreed. In reality, they’re almost too niche with their style and price point to be considered a standard automaker.  But if Eric is going to have Zoox on the list, then he should really have Bollinger too.

Surprisingly, most of the bits underneath are either off-the-shelf or modified ATSV or C5 Corvette parts. Quantum, at the time, was GM’s manufacturer of record for the LP conversion vehicles sold in the US. Quantum therefore had access to GM’s parts shop already. If the price gets any lower, and replacement battery…

This will probably get lost in the shuffle, but there are some states (like my home state of SD), where the driving age is 14, not 16. I started driving my dad’s pickup on the farm at 6 (in 1st gear only), and followed him behind the tractor for years before taking Driver’s Ed, so I’m a special case.

This is becoming a big thing in the collegiate SAE racing competitions too. In order to really compete in the “design” portion of the competition, we had to show that we knew what kind of forces and expectations we would see during competition. These were then inputted into our frame FEA to show that our design would…

I mean...the thing has active torque vectoring to prevent this.

Thank you! I don’t have a problem clicking the link, but when Jalop copies the entire article anyway, I’m only going to that site to see the date! The date in the title should be standard.

Technically, you do not need a CDL to drive class 7 and 8 trucks if it’s for personal use. You can learn and drive around a Class 8 truck all you want. Strap a couch onto it and give it a tour of the US, and it’s completely legal. It’s only if you are working for a business, do it for a living, and driving “on the…

I grew up on a farm in SD, so I’ve got lots of experience.
