It may recover with time. When I was a teen I dismantled a shotgun cartridge and removed the shot and paper charge (lots of tiny paper discs). I stuffed them down the thick end of a car telescopic antenna cut to about 4” with the end folded

Since iOS 11 depth data is exposed in portrait photos allowing the focus point to be altered. It’s very effective. You need an app though because it’s not possible in the Photos app (yet?) e.g. Focos https://itunes.apple.com

Why would they re-engineer the the 3-series platform around an electrical drivetrain and make it look exactly the same? Besides costing an inordinate amount of money, if they did it'd be completely anonymous and if it turned out not so

How does it eliminate dealer service revenue? If anything goes wrong on a car these days it has been my experience it's quite unlikely to be anything specific to ICE. It'll be electromechanical (mirrors, seats, windows, locks), el

I imagine customers on the reservation list care about this very much. When will get their Model 3? Can they wait that long? If they wait will it have problems? Will it be out of date compared to what else is on offer at that point, with

I did this training when I was a cadet in Air Training Corps. It petrified me, I did the standard dunk but bailed before the dunk and inversion attempt. I am not a strong swimmer, they had rescue divers there, no way. Being strapped into a

So long as when picking the best the ability to preserve the history for future contributors, when switching again is considered, then that’s reasonable. But these tools have a tendency to make that very hard for obvious reasons.

Oddly that makes it sound not so bad; given the property and environmental issues and the high cost of labor I’d have expected a larger multiplier.

This is curious. I'm 6'"4 and have never had a problem seeing the speedometer in any car I have driven, sure I might have to adjust the seat but I've never had to peer around the steering wheel. This includes a 1974 TR6
