Why would an electric truck be used for “actual work” more than any other truck?

I feel like this comment needs more attention. Most of the negative comments about “warranty repairs are free to me, so what do I care” are missing the point.

My understanding was that there would be a passenger model, and commercial models. Everything is going “autonomous” these days, but it seems that VW is focusing on self-driving for the commercial versions, which will be available in Europe first. The passenger model, which is supposed to be in the US in 2023, won’t be…

Pacifica is the best looking minivan and definitely a very good vehicle, but only has 32 miles of electric range. Not bad, but not full EV.

ID Buzz is real, and made by a company that has actually made a few cars in the past. I don’t see what the Canoo does better. Always good to have competition and innovation, but not if the company is engaged in financial shenanigans.

Pasta with red sauce. Apples. Sliced cheese. Chocolate chip ice cream. How very pedestrian. Nothing unexpected. Nothing outrageous. Exactly why we hired him.

$3500 probably isn’t going to make a difference to a buyer of a luxury car, but I have some doubts that would be the margin. BMW is pretty famous for charging a lot for extras that come standard in other cars. Doing a quick comparison of the G80 vs the 540, I get a price difference of $5000, and the Genesis comes out…

Brands are all about signaling. It’s like I told my son when he was dressing for school one day; you wear the Minecraft shirt because it makes you happy, but you also wear your Minecraft shirt to let other people know that you are into Minecraft. And if you see someone else with a Minecraft shirt, you know that you…

Thanks for this. I’ve been working up to packing a sushi lunch for my son, trying to figure out what “travels” well, and now that he’s finally eating CA rolls I was thinking of buying some frab. Saw this article, and realized this is exactly what I was looking for. Good quality, taste and texture, and individually…

I think that we can all say that for all the years we’ve watched these 11'8" Bridge videos, and for all the schadenfreude we’ve experienced watching trucks partially rip their roofs off, or rip off other attachments, before coming to a sudden halt, THIS is what we’ve all really been hoping for. This is peak 11'8".

That’s hilarious - I didn’t realize that 1) Florida only gets 3% of its gas by pipeline and 2) that he declared a state of emergency which had the effect of actually creating an emergency. So glad I’m not living in Florida, for so many reasons.

I can confirm this. I worked as a headhunter in tech, and once had a candidate I couldn’t place because his latest experience was in the porn industry. Never mind that his experience was in building one of the most robust payment and referral processing systems - years ahead of any other ecommerce system out there at…

I think it’s completely legitimate to criticize the law and criticize the people who abuse it as a loophole. While the OP may be following the letter of the law, he’s not following the spirit of it, and his choice to buy a larger vehicle than he needs just so that he can avoid taxes is morally indefensible on several…

I had exactly the same thought. Using the numbers in this article, five times as many people are killed BY trucks as are killed IN trucks, and the while the number of drivers who die (or are injured) in rollovers like this would seem to go down, I don’t see how it reduces risk to those around the rollover. It might…

“and over 6000 GVWR (for taxes)“

Or just getting enough gas to get to the next gas station!

“The thing is, there were no shortages in Florida.”

Thanks for clarifying that. I guess that’s Ethereum’s “2.0" innovation which is going to improve the efficiency of the ledger keeping, though I don’t know about the mining or if ultimately the ledger would just be a small fraction of the whole compared to mining.

My family makes onigiri every year for the cherry blossom festival (Brooklyn Botanic Garden). I’m a fan of my kimchi with bo ssam pork and Buffalo chicken w/blue cheese.
