Ah, yeah. I could never justify buying what is called “full-size” these days. They may be comfortable and capable, but they are basically just rolling blind-spots, not just for the drivers but for the other vehicles around them. I’ve started riding around town standing up just so I can get better visibility around and…

We’re pretty much stuck with NG plants as the primary source until we get grid-scale energy storage, which we effectively have none of right now. Over the last decade I have seen tons of articles on Gizmag/New Atlas talking about developments in this area, but the only thing viable right now is Tesla’s hu-normous…

Used to own a Tacoma. Fortunately I am over 6ft tall so I can actually see over the hood... but damn the front of the hood could use a briss. 

It may do your brain good to take an hour or two and head over to NotJustBikes on YouTube. He’s got some very well researched videos about lane narrowing and proper methods for setting up bike lanes that are actually safe for both cars and bikes, unlike whateverthefuck Vancouver is doing.

It’s not just shitty drivers not paying attention... barely even conscious and aware of the world around them, really..., it’s also that most new vehicles have absolutely shit visibility. Take that jeep in the tweet at the top of the article, for instance. It’s entirely possible that the driver legitimately couldn’t…

Proof that cars these days can protect occupants during re-entry from Low Earth Orbit, even if visibility out of them is terrible.

Just what I need, another reason not to buy a new car. 

Or just stop talking on the phone while walking down the road during rush hour on a windy day. Whenever I see people doing that I feel bad for the people on the other end of the line. 

Something along the lines of 5,000lbs in an EV “sports” sedan is fine because the weight is so low and it has so much power.

Shit.... You’re right. My bad. I’m not sure why I always get those two confused. 

That just opens a whole new rant about Linux. Everything you want to do you either need to find one of a dozen or more different applications that do that thing (but only one of them is ever any good and good luck finding out which one is which the easy way) or you have to load the right distro that has the right…

Lol, Thank you very much. You’re a Legend. 

So much information about the tunnel, and looking at the source websites there’s all kinds of stuff about the opening festivities and 3-5k races and all kinds of other information... but not a single fucking map or location for any of the entrances. 

This is why I’ve been a loyal customer of The Pirate Bay for more than 15 years. I just don’t feel like paying for cable, satellite, or any streaming service when they will just bump up the price any time the shareholders feel like they are not raking in enough money. 

A toast to ADHD Social Media platforms. The cause of, and solution to, all of life’s misinformation.

It’s just filling the vacuum left by our missing actual intelligence

When you get passed a certain point in the Windows CLI they become about even, IMO. Linux commands tend to be shorter, but often unnecessarily short due to dropped letters because the commands are from the 70's when memory space was at a premium. Windows commands can be much longer, but they pretty much precisely…

Used Linux off and on for years when I needed to, even trained to support it, but I’ve never found a single aspect of using a computer that was easier to do on Linux than on Windows. The only exception being VMware’s highly modified (*fixed, IMO) version of Linux that is ESXi. The CLI is especially painful in most…
