If you had to redesign a fuel pump from scratch today you don’t need 70 years of development. It needs to charge fast enough.. 250kw is sufficient for any current and future need. It needs to take direct payment... it does. It needs to work in multiple vehicles... the v4 does.

I don’t have a job vulnerable to that, but if I did I wouldn’t mind if it can do my job better for less money. 

Optimus. 

You don’t need a lot of people to sustain it, there’s still some people there. I can almost certainly guarantee that it’s a fire and reboot scheme. I expect they’ll bring in a new group of much cheaper new people into the company or go straight to a partnership with other automakers. 

They imported a lot of that from Europe, other than the apps you just described a 70s to 80s design from the UK or Netherlands, and even that was broadly similar to the 50s in layout. The hardware changes have been really minor generally because the standards for filling broadly came from the car sector.

Yeah because there’s been a lot of innovation in petrol pump design in the last 70 years.... oh wait. 

v4 supercharger is objectively the perfect vehicle fast charging solution. There’s really not much if any room for improvement, and they’ve got the semi superchargers done as well.

Probably because that teams achieved their goals, they’ve got a real mature product in the process of being rolled out, have built a business model that largely relies on 3rd parties and have effectively “won” the format and business model war. Doing all those things required a lot of people and money, but they…

I’m not so sure, they’ve managed to develop in the latest iteration of the supercharger something that is an excellent product that broadly will be at a minimum “good enough” for a very very long time. They’ve managed to get new partners onboard with supercharging so they’ve got a solid base to build on expansion…

It’s usually optional, the unions for younger workers are often useless, and it’s usually the left wing parties that are often, but not always affiliated with large unions that got the workers protections not the unions themselves. There is both a left and a right in European politics unlike the US where you just have…

Why a Union and not actual laws that provide protections to workers, works pretty well in the EU. 

That’s why the donor car was invented, at the price they will be just buy two.

I know of at least 4 formerly flight used Olympus sitting in warehouses as spares for the aforementioned power plants. Rarely sold maybe, but not that rare in reality, and it’s not that they don’t go to market, they just aren’t in demand. I’ve been offered a couple for the cost of collecting them in the past, hell…

They aren’t that rare, the olympus was used in a lot of places including as backup generators in power plants. 

He’s applied for fully custody, it would seem the best way to get that is to make it financially disincentivised to keep the kids, in cases like this that’s usually what’s going on in the background especially with CA courts being unrestricted so people will essentially “farm” their kids for child support.

This is great and I’m really excited for their V2 of the deck. Unless something happened to mine I wouldn’t upgrade at this stage as it’s great, but on the edge of the power it needs to be for me. With a spec boost though I would be all over it so hopefully in another 18-24 months we’ll get word of an updated version.

The 7% interest thing is wild, currently the highest interest rate on EVs I’m currently looking at is 2.9%, Ford and Volvo are both offering 0% for 4 years!

CDPR did everything they’ve always done, anyone not paying attention to the launch of any game they ever made that wasn’t Gwent knew exactly how it was going to go. Everyone just seemed to have forgotten, Bethesda are exactly the same, they’ll push it out and fix it later every single time.

I’ve got a good bit of time in so far, and to be honest if you rank up pilot you can upgrade the reactor in it very quick(New Atlantis sells a pilot 4 type C), a couple of extra engines and then some upgrades to the shields and weapons and I don’t think you can really beat it. I’ve captured some nice ships already and…

It’s actually one of the better 3D films I’ve ever seen, was very impressed with it.
