Minivan. You can get a minivan that has more room than a crossover, lower load height so that you hurt even less getting in, and you have more headroom to get car seats in and out. They're far superior in every way. But everybody quit

Please don't ignore that every other person also has moved from driving cars to crossovers that offer no actual advantages over a regular car. Most people want to sit high, and that's what sells crossovers. The hoods are higher in

Yeah the Snap package is still annoying. Like every day it pops up and tells me to close Firefox to update it. So I close it, and then nothing happens. Then I wait, and nothing happens. Occasionally, it notices that I closed Firefox and app

You acknowledge it's a dark pattern, but then excuse it. Dark patterns are 100% abuse.

Read the article. These aren't speed cameras. They're exclusively for tracking location and movement of vehicles. Nobody is going to get a ticket for them. You're only going to get a knock at your door by the cops when someon

You just need to get the bigger Ryobi blower. Mine isn't even the biggest one and it's almost as powerful as my backpack gas blower. The battery doesn't last long in it though. Maybe 15 minutes. So I use it for quick work, a

My 18v weed eater kicks ass. I have two acres and it pretty much chews through everything. I shove it down in ditches and chop up all kinds of stuff with it.

I hate to break it to you, but electric ones are loud too. It's the blower that is loud. Not the motor. I have a big ass backpack one and it's not any louder than the little handheld electric one I have.

For now. I guarantee they will start putting ads in your premium membership plan. It's already happening in other services. They will do it using the boiling frog method. There is no way they will pass up a chance to make even more mon

They are every bit as bad as cable TV, IMO. They are more frequent and they don't even have a transition from the video to the ads, it just interrupts mid-sentence half the time. And for some reason three 30 second ads isn't nearl

Have you used these before? I am going to take on a project reupholstering my car's interior. It would be amazing to sew in some lights where you'd normally put in piping, make it match the rest of the interior. Mostly curious abo

Being mindful of what you are doing, what you are thinking, how you are feeling, and how you are reacting to things is not diagnosing. You should probably leave the diagnosing part to a professional if you feel that you really need help wit

Does this reduce your energy usage though? You're still using the same amount of power during the day. So it saves you money, and takes some load off the grid during peak usage. What does that do to reduce emissions from power generati

Insurance rates will be dictated by the other 3 factors you listed. Insurance doesn't care about physical damage, only what it costs to repair said damage. Whether the car is cut in half, or only a sensor that is broken, only the cost

Or... you need a person who is specialized in working on EVs. EVs are still not the majority, so anything different from the norm will need different training, and thusly higher hourly rates to work on them. When Ford started making putting

Also if you wanted to travel a longer distance, you just threw a couple cans of fuel in the back. Neither electricity nor fuel stations were abundant, but extending the range using gas was dead nuts simple.

It's not an EV thing. All this same tech is moving into ICE cars too. I know someone with a Genesis GV80 that just randomly threw itself into limp mode and wouldnt go over 20mph. Genesis support gave him the magic button combination to
