When I used to live in Chicago and bike race, this was one of the local sprint finish points on weekend group rides. A long flat road into a short climb and some of my favorite memories. There's also a beautiful cobbled street on the

I work in this industry, and you have it right. Peaker plants are still valuable and serve a different need than solar. We might one day get to a point where batteries are the better option, but for now it's still just not economical

I almost always fly SW, and it's my least favorite flying experience. Why do I fly it often then? It's not the cost, I am rarely paying out of pocket for the flights, as they're typically work related. It's just simpl

Another fun fact about sloths. My wife is curator of a zoo and they have had some in the past. That slow digestion the article mentions? They probably have some of the worst smelling feces of any animal in the wild.

A large part of this is there are several companies that are effectively the modernized scalpers using very high dollar pay-per click advertising, and incredibly complex optimization methods to charge the maximum markup they can. Most of t

Yeah, that's what I thought. I didn't want to assume, but it's the same in my Volt, if the 12V goes bad, the locks don't open. That said, it's trivial to get around that. Definitely just rage bait here.

Feels a bit like rage bait to me. “I’ll never buy another Tesla again,” he added. “That’s the long way of me saying stay the f*k away from Teslas. They’re brutal cars, brutal manufacturing, and even worse, they’re a 10-year-old company.” It

Not to mention the overuse of the term "gaslighting". What used to mean a serious systematic method of making someone question reality is now simply "lied", apparently.

Has anyone looked into the psychological drivers between population density and birth rates? Is there some innate mechanism that avoids overcrowding?

My wife and I rented the double subnado things last time we were out of town diving. Seems that fits the pretty rich and lazy market much better.

Which European car? Nearly every one sold in the US has a "US Version" that has to go through DOT rules to be sold here, or even imported if under 25 years old. Otherwise I'd be rolling around in a new VW California.

What else would(do) you program into a dishwasher? Mine has like 6 buttons. Hot/Cold, Air Dry or heat dry, longer wash or shorter wash, and I think a start timer function that I can click a few times to add number of hours until it go

That assumes the issues matter more to them than any of the hot-button political stuff they actually campaign around. Abortion, Gun control, etc.

Exactly. I worked for 4 months at a company and just put "Contractor - various" in that spot because I did not want the stigma of that company on my resume.

A 2 week vacation and 2 long weekends to Disney World don't seem out of reach for any middle class family, let alone a company owner. My sister is an adjunct professor and I think has been to disneyland 3 times this year already. The

Once there is a framework for legal sale, and regulations around it, you think all these states will continue to just not comply?

I really don't think this is a positive in any way, unless you oppose recreational marijuana usage. Making it a schedule III puts it back in "Doctor prescription" territory, and since there's now a legal route to getting

Plug in hybrid, not pure BEV, but my 2014 GM Volt has 275K on it, have had to do minimal maintenance. Probably use 80-90% on battery only, few road trips where I've used gas. I have a BEV as well, and I have to say - I don't unde

I think the VP is more of a don't get left behind thing than a real product intended to sell. Keep R&D slightly engaged, build a better mouse trap in the apple way, and if some AR/VR solution does catch on, at least they aren

It's a pretty polarizing subject. I am in the "just check all my crap and be done with it" camp, but many people you'll have to pry their roller bag carry ons from their cold dead hands.

Palm and Microsoft both made incredible (for the time) smart phones. The iPhone (and to a lesser extent android phones) were just on a totally different level. While Windows CE and PalmOS phones were trying to fight off blackberry, the iP

Because most audits are done on income over that level. Also, this is definitely the "MVP" version of this, and I would venture people with incomes totaling more than 250K have at least one other thing "not supported yet&quot

This would be a point for sure, except this is a primary and the only people who can vote in it are registered party members. Young people actually registered already care enough to know it's the primary today. This one is already dec

Yeah, and they've dug themselves a hole with having near permanent login persistence. I can't remember the last time on a computer I use frequently that I've had to log in.
