The range kind of kills it for me. 150 miles on the base version is miserable and 240 isn't much better. Cut those numbers nearly in half for any winter driving. I'm curious what customization they'll actually launch with - I'm skeptical the government won't limit a lot of the things they're...

Fuck draft lotteries. Does anyone think that would be on the up-and-up? That would just be another lever to make sure the league's money making teams are gifted players. Look at the NBA.

It was a fun, but heartbreaking couple of years. I look forward to going back to a basement dwelling team, having way more Sunday at 1pm games, and wasting another hall of fame running back's best years.

Honestly, that's so far above and beyond. I was curious if you saw any common threads in his choices and could think of one to recommend not already on the list.

If their Gmail is anything like mine, it might have ended up in spam. I was visiting some out of town friends and google decided to put all the follow-up responses to my planning email into spam. Responses to an email I sent out... What the fuck. Meanwhile, I have emails from shit like Us...

Looking for a recommendation of a sample of something out of left field to get my friend's son. Here's his current favorites, any recommendations based on his tastes? Azzaro - Wanted French Avenue - Liquid Brun Jean Paul Gaultier - Le Male Jean Paul Gaultier - Le Beau Prada - Pradigme...

Playing 14% of a steam library is waaaay too high. I can confidently say I'm under 5%.

Pinball you say... This one? https://anbernic.com/en-ca/products/rg-nano Curious why you'd want it for pinball. I'd assume you'd want something with a portrait resolution and uniform side buttons for that.

Fair enough. Fixed the tagline. I'd say it's probably this defunct fitness craze if anything though - she doesn't look like the type to be going anywhere: That thing was fun as hell as a kid, I think I'm going to try to find one.

INFINITE POWER! Oblig: worst google image search result for infinite power. Apparently this lady runs with her arms like a praying mantis.

You could definitely call those vehicles a series hybrid in the sense that you have an engine in the system and it's only supplying power as a generator. The distinction I would make is in the scale of the components in the system. Traditional hybrid: ~1-2kW battery (basically zero range as an...

Series hybrid trucks? Literally nothing currently exists. It wouldn't need to be plugged in. I think the only true series hybrid on the market is the Nissan E-Power overseas. They've also only put it in small passenger vehicles. A lot of OEMs are afraid of them since they can be sort of...

The battery in a series hybrid is going to be considerably smaller than an ev or phev truck - potentially almost 2/1 orders of magnitude smaller respectively. A traditional parallel hybrid also still has the engine coupled to the drivetrain through the transmission, so, it can contribute engine...

The energy recovery is easy until you have nowhere to put it. Most series hybrids use a pretty small battery. If you're doing a long descent while towing - a situation where you would normally be utilizing engine braking, it's very conceivable you can fill up the battery, then components start...

He looks like he's making the dat ass face.
