The CAFE regulations are not causing this, in fact they are acting in the opposite direction, making vehicles safer. More aerodynamic vehicles are more fuel efficient and more likely to have lower and more sloped fronts and thus are also sa

Removing a cost and an artificial shortage may cause many innovative things to happen. History is full of examples when lower costs and higher availability of something have caused a burst of innovation. What I meant in the grandparent comm

I remember having to do a lot of port forwarding to get certain things to work behind a nat. Certainly doable but beyond the competence of a non-expert.

Currently my roomba is behind a nat and still insists on contacting their main data centers. And if i turn off the internet to my nat the roomba will run but none of the advanced cell phone related features of the roomba will work, even tho

Here is something very simple, with no self flogging and no circus hoops. I do not want to pay for a number. There is no shortage of numbers. In fact there is an infinite amount of them. There are many things I am forced to pay for and thei

If you read to the last paragraph, the article suggests but does not outright state that the grain is spilled as the result of derailments. So there is some kind of derailment, grain cars tumble over spill all of their grain, and the railro

This would just be a minor improvement, but we should all stop and think how much better all society would be if every country just flat out banned fishing trawlers every where in its territorial waters. For one we would have more and tasti

Boo hoo! A bunch of liberal whiners. There is a good old fashioned saying: If you do the crime, you do the time. Also, if somebody that kind of looks like you does the crime, you do the time. Furthermore, if someone that does not look like

I beg to differ. It would be more correct to say: Labour: Try to copy the Torries in everything but intensity. Try to be slightly less awful than the Torries only to a degree necessary to convince the shell shocked and horrified voters to v

Sorry to hear about that. But the roundabout probably soaked up some of her speed at least.

The greatest thing about roundabouts is that they protect against the idiot that goes through an intersection at full speed. He does that either because he is passed out behind the wheel or because he did not notice a stop sign and thought

So he just wanted to blow away 30 billion of his own money? He felt he had too much money but he did not want to give the money to the needy or anything woke like that he just wanted to waste it in an extravagant gesture? I think the answer

That is a good point. A secondary benefit, is a self driving car can literally give most workers that commute about an hour per day of their lives back. For some people it will be two to three hours.

Yeah you have to first press reject all and then press the save and exit button on the bottom. It is getting tougher and tougher to opt out of tracking.

This is pretty screwed up, because it kind of trains your brain to be a gambling brain. To crave the instant gratification, the high of risk taking etc. I think the time has come when android and ios should make a special versions of their

Facebook's parent company rebranded to meta. The site Facebook is still Facebook. The Meta rebrand was mostly for the benefit of investors. Google did a similar thing. It is easier to rebrand for the benefit of investors. There are onl

And for some reason I cannot quite process it, even though I generally eat a lot of vegetables. The second most painful trip to the bathroom I have ever had was after an impossible burger. The first one was after a beyond meat burger.

I think the effects on Florida will be far worse than most other places in the US. The difference with crazy Florida is that the official state government does not actually believe in climate change. Thus, they are less likely to do the nec

I really liked the book, and recommend it wholeheartedly, with the note that one should have some good knowledge about the cold war to understand it. I do not agree with the review though. Spoilers ahead. The novel isn't about "ab

This smells like astroturfing in favor of plastic. The fact that something contains "traces" of PFAS is not that much of a revelation. Unfortunately, thanks to tragically insufficient environmental regulation, PFAS have gotten eve

I am not sure how Musk would qualify as a psychopath. If you look carefully, his successful ventures were actually the result of very thoughtful and careful long term planning. And this is not usually a strong suit for psychopaths. He did n

I got really angry reading this. It is a big mistake to think that just because someone does not break the law, and they are successful, they are beneficial to society at large or even to the organization where they are being successful. Th

State lotteries were actually specifically designed to discourage whales and big spending. That is why tickets are relatively low priced and there are no high priced super tickets. It is very difficult to impulse buy a mass amount of ticket
