There's always someone who wants to blame capitalism. It's an inbuilt survival instinct to collect as many resources as possible. It's just only humans that have the technology to destroy while doing it.

The physics are very possible. The challenges of scaling and making it economically viable, now thats another matter.

Tundra Hybrid doesn't count?

Damn that looks like a cool car. Shame it's Japan only

A corolla isn't a budget car. The cheapest configurable Corolla here (Australia) is $35,857. More than 50% of the median yearly wage ($65000) To me that's not a budget car. The closest thing would be a Kia Picanto for about $18500

156500 employees. I'm sure there's a few PR/Marketing people in there. It's not all "Good computer thinking people" Google isn't a plucky startup with just a few dedicated engineers.

I think more people should keep chickens in back yards. They’re good pets, they recycle scrap foods and they keep insects off your veggies. Nobody should be buying cage eggs in the shops.

Cost is a factor but you can have all this and car parking. Plenty of developments in my city are mixed use. 3 or 4 levels of underground parking, then retail, supermarkets on ground floor then bars, gyms, pools, restaurants on the next few

Just under 100m2 are air conditioned. Largest day on record was importing 23 kWh due to almost no sun, and me choosing to spend the day bulk cooking/catching up on washing. In a grid down/no sun situation I wouldn’t be doing bulk

That’s so wild to me. I have a modest 6.6kw solar system in Australia and average 4kwh a day bought from the grid. No battery, no gas, live in a hot climate and run the A/C about 8 months a year.

That makes sense. Well done to that team!

The Tokyo metro stations are amazing. A diagram on the screen of the exit doors showing the locations of lifts, escalators and exits along with numbered/lettered exits. Google maps will properly direct you to the correct exit point and

Don’t do that. Facts and logical thought please not blaming the boogeyman for all problems.

I don’t know enough to speak to the geopolitical issues, but from a technical aspect, repair of this won’t be cheap or fast.

A freeway bypass/overpass is being built on a road I travel a lot. Funding and consultation started in 2004. Expected completion date 2029. Quarter of a century to build 8km of road.

What on earth is a standby charge on gas?

by 10u152 3y ago
Yeah agreed. Especially in humid climates. Like saying turn off all the lights and use a head torch. Like yes it will save energy. Also very uncomfortable and inconvenient.

But didn’t the cable TV cost include the content delivery and hardware? You need to add the cost of your internet connection on top of that, plus whatever box you use to play to the TV etc.

They were using humanitarian/civilian internet given freely for deadly cross border offensives. If you want military grade comms, you can buy them.

The problem is can you trust the structure/QA process, is the documentation in place etc. Otherwise it’s a liability nightmare

Interesting. I’m in Australia with a modest home battery and my electricity billing is “wholesale” price so shifts every 15 minutes. When there’s grid instability my pay for feeding in can be $30 a kWh! It’s therefore in my interest to be g

Oh I can’t answer that. Was just pointing out advantages of lower RPM.

Why fusions time might have arrived…

High rpm always equals more wear. More revolutions, less perfect oil film on lubricated surfaces, more parasitic losses, more oil burnt.

I agree they SHOULD be. But from what I can find online it's not the case. ICE is more complicated - more moving parts - but manufacturers have had 100 years of experience building them.

Rented a Polestar from Hertz last year. It died in the driveway at 80% battery and wouldn't come on. Hertz had to have it towed 350km to the nearest Polestar service centre. Hertz refused to deliver a replacement car and just refunded

Agreed. Second most popular EV here in Australia is an MG. Which is a state owned CCP company. Is Musk worse than the CCP/Xi Jinping? Really?

I thought Tesla's were low reliability across ALL vehicles (ICE included) but were the most reliable of all EV's? I guess it comes down to what "reliable" means. In my opinion if it has a failure but runs, drives, is saf

Fiddlesticks. I brunch ONCE a day for 2 minutes with an electric toothbrush and have essentially perfect tooth health. I also floss every day. My dentist at my most recent checkup said “whatever you’re doing just keep doing it”
