Doesn't it hurt range, but increase battery longevity? ISTR hot climates being more problematic for EV owners in terms of premature battery wear.

IIRC the rubber tires weigh 1000+lbs each, I wonder if the tires could be implemented differently using lightweight materials shifting their weight budget into hubmotor+battery.

by newnewpdro 7y ago
With how massive the wheels and tires are, maybe hub motors with batteries packed in their centers could work. I don't get the impression that monster trucks strive to minimize unsprung weight, the tires are wrecking balls.

Some? Turbochargers don't lose much with elevation, especially if sized appropriately. And even a turbocharged configuration a little down on power would still be doing better than NA at any elevation. The real nuisance with high e

In small doses their effects are far more deterministic, and seem to still be beneficial even when too subtle to notice any immediate acute effects. Though I do agree with your position when it comes to higher "trip" doses. I thi

It didn't seem to be doing Alexander Shulgin any favors in old age, from what I saw of his later interviews anyways. Though he probably exposed himself to far more than just psychedelics.

One of my favorite effects of spending extended periods in solitude is how much more I appreciate being around people afterwards. It's akin to how nice a hot shower feels after spending a week backpacking in the wilderness.

When I visited Paris, around 7 years ago, it was by far 2-stroke exhaust that was the problem. My Parisian coworkers, who also rode motorbikes, explained it was because the licensing and vehicle taxes are tiered by displacement. So everyo

By far the majority of renters I know in CA, in SF and Santa Monica, have largely abandoned any hope of homeownership and live incredibly spendy lifestyles while they can afford to be in the area. Eventually, they will wise up, move out of

Drunk driving is far more of a problem. It wouldn't surprise me if increasing shroom popularity decreased overall alcohol consumption and also increased people's concern for the safety of others, both contributing to reduced DWI i

You're grossly lumping all drugs into one pile. Presumably you mean illegal drugs when you say "I never done drugs", because I'm certain you've done drugs like caffeine, probably alcohol too. If that's how you

That's great and all, but you'd create a host of new bugs unrelated to safety with a pile of new code in a largely unfamiliar language (for the openbsd devs, anyways). Rewriting the world in some safe language isn't a panacea
