I own a Tesla Model 3. In the past I owned a GM vehicle which was damaged in a collision. The chassis had a few parts which were bent. The minute a chassis of any modern vehicle is bent in any way it is an automatic write-off in the insur

I wish I could find a way to agree with you that doesn't involve profanity. But here it is: Fuck medium. I absolutely despise it. Every time I Google for data science techniques I'm inundated with god-awful medium articles and

Having been to various parts of Texas in the summertime on numerous occasions, I can't imagine what it's like to have to wear a mask outdoors as a child. Glad you made the move and it sounds like you're enjoying it. Are you i

As if I was talking about people in winter conditions wearing gaiters or actual ski masks to protect from the cold. Wearing surgical masks outdoors in normal temperatures is not based in science. It's theoretical at best, but there&#x

It just seems to me to be the pinnacle of narcissism that so many people apply judgement according to modern value systems to historical figures. There isn't a single one of us who couldn't be judged harshly in the context of a fu

It's only too early if, like our public health authorities, you are too bigoted and self-important to trust South African medical scientists because they aren't from a mostly white country. That's my take on why the CDC igno

I hope your wife is ok. Unfortunately, infection with Omicron is inevitable and not preventable, without living in a bubble. It's too infectious, and the vaccine, unlike with previous variants, does basically nothing to stop transmiss

When you put more pressure on your back foot, it triggers regenerative braking. The regen brakes are actually very good. You can easily go from a pretty good clip to walking pace very smoothly and extremely quickly. Acceleration is almos

I’ve owned mountain boards in the past. You go far faster and pose a bigger danger, since you have to hit long downhills for it to be remotely fun. Without the smoothness of regenerative braking, stopping is far more difficult. You essen

How do you know the trails I ride on don’t allow ebikes and light electric vehicles (Onewheel falls into this category)? You don’t, and the trails I ride on allow them. In Boulder County, that’s not the case. I ride in other counties. Bu

Just to be clear (I lived in DC/northern Virginia for 10 years, and witnessed induced demand over and over), if the goal of widening a highway is to ease traffic congestion, induced demand quickly makes this a failed strategy. In nort
