Iirc hdmi has 19 wires. USB c is around 10 (but mirrored so ~20 on the connector). Making hdmi symetrical would require a 38 wire connector which would be large and prohibitively expensive.

Probably epoxy potted, an order of magnitude more difficult to repair. Either way a coating is probably called for in the places a generator will be used so you probably wouldn't want to skip it just for repairability.

When it's those conditions though I just use a light touch on the throttle to make wheel speed match ground speed, a lot of easier than trying to shift in and out of neutral.

I spend about 5 months every year driving in snow and ice - this is the first I'm hearing about dropping it into neutral. Can you elaborate on when that would be appropriate? Obviously you shouldn't be slamming on the brakes, bu

If you stay on top of fluid filming or wool waxing you can largely avoid this. I've got 7 winters of WI slush and salt on my truck and just a few nickel sized spots of surface rust on the frame so far.

There are two classes of highways in WI. Large, divided, 4+ lane highyways which always have game fences, and two lane 'county highways' which do not have fences. Parent is referring to the latter. The game fences that do exist

That's just circling back on "city boy tries to grow a plant". Your garden provided you with both fruit and meat. You were just unwilling/unable to harvest the meat.

Drones emit all sorts of beeps and tones using the brushless motors but I'm not entirely certain by what mechanism the motor controllers accomplish it. The motors aren't spinning when they emit a tone but they do twitch/move

If you read the complaint they are seeking a "sum in excess of 50k". This is likely to get proper jurisdiction as 50k in damages bumps it from county level court up to state circuit. It's a sad statement about online reporti

This always comes up as a suggestion. I would love to see the numbers where that works out. The costs of renting even a couple times a month (far less than 10% of trips) will very quickly make it cheaper to just own an ICE vehicle. It gets

If it needs any amount of strength you'll want to find someone with a lathe. BSP tells me it may be tapered(?) so find someone with a taper attachment. Even as a hobbyist I could probably make one of those on my lathe faster than draw

You use protectionism like it's a bad thing, but I'm sure the folks in the military industrial complex see what's going on in Ukraine and realise it wouldn't be a bad thing if the US had some domestic small drone manufac

Fwiw I can't find any data to back up your claim. Looks like in 2023 numerous models outsold Tesla Y and 3 (CRV/Rav4/Ram/Silverado). While Ford doesn't seem to release individual F-150/250/350/450 d
