I learned to drive on a manual car, and all my cars were manual for the past ~20 years. My current car is an ev/auto. For me the learning curve was remembering to _not_ press the brake with my left foot, thinking it's the clutch w

So a haptic detent making it easy for the driver to sense where the "maintain current speed" position on the pedal is? This position will depend on the current speed and the road incline. The detent will have to move around and th

Tangent, but why do you call it an emergency brake? I've always known it called a park brake: the thing you engage when you park your car.

My 2019 Hyundai Kona EV drives like a normal automatic. I can set the regen level when I let off the accelerator, but the great feature it has is engaging in regen when I press the brake pedal. I have to press the brakes _really_ hard to ac

A few countries, including Ireland, called into question the text voting results for Israel last year. Not sure what the result of that investigation was.

Tue sun is probably the most powerful blue light you can readily access. There's just a bunch of other colours that come with it.

Don't make it sound like Apple is some sort of victim of regulation who's being picked on the whole time. They will not get fines and lawsuits if they make a foldable phone with a display that degrades over time. I do think a move

I pay roughly €1 for every 100km I drive here in Ireland. My annual car road tax is €120 in stead of 200+. My annual service involves kicking the tires and having a peek under the car. I bought my ev used for 16k, with a basically brand new

Reddit was a link aggregator till the recent shitty redesign. So image posts were just a post with a URL. You needed RES if you wanted to open the image inline with the post and comments.

I went hiking in the Fish River canyon "just" upstream from where your river boating excursion took place. 5 days, 90km and zero facilities. Pristine nature despite it being very popular. Same story as yours: non negotiable items

I call bullshit on this claim. Sure, you might be paying pennies a kWh, but likely only for a few hours at midnight, then it spikes to £0.50 during peak times.

Modern tv shows are more often than not released in a single go on a streaming service, intended to be binged in a single go. Often the episodes form a single narrative and a single episode cannot stand alone. The MOTD format is all but dea

Pull weight does not tell the full picture. The trigger needs to be pulled a certain (very large) distance before disengaging the safety. Pull weight might be comparable to peer weapons, but the amount of work required to disengage the

Glocks require such an astronomically large trigger pull to disable the safety that there cannot be any doubt that the trigger was intentionally pulled with the intention of making it fire. The glock that I used to compete regularly with ba

Stop shifting the goalposts. The argument was no cars are available sub 30k, and that was proven wrong. Now you are arguing that <€30k cars might not he available in the near future, which no one is disputing. Then you use the existenc

You are arguing in bad faith. You are also creating a straw man argument attempting to rubbish a feature that works acceptably well in 99% other use cases even if your scenario is legitimate. If there is a blind corner you should slow down

Get a tv that looks good in the store. Set it up, but don't connect it to your network. Not even once. If it doesn't work without network, take it back to the shop. "TV does not work without wifi, I have no wifi. Please sell
