Neutral - I wish. I’ve got a beautiful ‘05 Madone 5.2 in blue hanging from the wall taunting me every day. I just can’t do the Phoenix heat this time of year.

I see you’ve finally reached the “give up and become an Expat to escape the law” stage of your car cleanup saga... Good luck! Stay in touch! <3

All want police accountability
Most want police force’s funding reduced and those funds distributed to social work, affordable housing, healthcare, addiction centers, and other things that actually improve the health and safety of communities.
A vocal few (largely under an anarchist banner) want to see police forces…

Anytime! The major take-away, though, is that it’s pretty disingenuous to advertise a cornering acceleration from a banked track, because then anyone could just go hit the top speed on a sufficiently banked track and claim whatever ridiculous g number they want.

Either that or they’ve figured out some crazy ground…

Bored, recently laid-off engineer here.
Centripetal acceleration is the square of the tangential velocity divided by the radius of the turn at the moment of interest.

Lets get a reference point to start out. There’s a fairly flat exit ramp near my house that, if Google Maps is to be believed, is about 900 feet in…

Really it was a disgrace all around, failing many companies that did legitimately need it, including the one I worked for, leading to me and 60% of the ~125 person company getting laid off.

Modern Warfare + Warzone is about 100GB, so at a not-uncommon 3Mbps (especially at peak times in crowded apartment buildings) would take 80 hours to download.

Comment of the Day needs to come back just for this thread.

JSRF was the first console game I ever owned because it came bundled with my original Xbox alongside SEGA GT. I had a lovely time dusting it off and playing it again recently, it holds up better than I expected!

This is an annoying conversation and we’re all entitled to our opinions and interpretations, but I take specific issue with your Book 2 Take, especially in the context of your claim earlier that the supporting cast always save the day...
Go back and watch the fight. She was DUNKING on Vaatu. No contest.
Until Mako and…

Gas could hit $8 a gallon, EVs get outlawed, and they start selling these new off the lot for $10k and I wouldn’t go for it.
Not because I’m some piston head who compulsively performs oral on every stickshift I see...
Literally it’s just because of the goddamn whale-tail in the back. It’s the ugliest thing on the road…

Came here specifically to say this. Shame they did the Corolla name dirty like this, but this looks like a serious compact crossover offering.

Cram that shit into the Fiata!

Guess he’s headed for Mixer.

But my whole point was that 1 major reported issue on one car does not make it higher quality than a different car with 5 super minor issues.

What I’m asking for is a link to anywhere I can read the actual questions asked on the JD Power 2019 Initial Quality Study. This is not on their website, as far as I can find.

SHIT. Autocorrect is a motherfucker!

I’m not normally one to shit on EV mileage numbers, because people who do either don’t understand the concept of “full charge every morning” or they’re picking and choosing use-cases to build a cute little strawman for how “no one will buy this” despite having collected a nice little pile of edge-cases...

BUT ANYWAYS...…

Speaking from industry experience, most purveyors of hub motors that actually have units out in the real world (my company used Protean) have dedicated hydraulic brakes, but here’s the thing- you burn up so much packaging space with the hub motor itself that those brakes are not sufficient on their own for an…

I’m pretty skeptical of their hub motor claims.
My previous employer used Protean hub motors. Their top model is rated for about 100hp and fits in some special 18" rims, but honestly needs bigger.
You’re adding a HUGE amount of unsprung mass, which you’ll really feel on crappy roads at speed. Also, you either have to…

Can you link me? All I’ve been able to find is a brief description of how they organize “233 [potential] problems ... into nine categories” which are all no-duh subsystem categories and don’t address my concern that the magnitude of problems is not well tracked or represented.
