Anyone who’s owned an EV and a comparable ICE vehicle knows this isn’t a myth at all lmao. They weigh more, and all that instant torque at 0 RPM means that you’re almost guaranteed to go through tires faster.

This is also what a lot of people forget how it was at the time, thinking “if only” they had been early adopters and how they’d be millionaires. I was one, and had found it was great for traveling said “trade route”, but also watched when Mt Gox collapsed and tanked the price 75% while stealing millions from people, and decided to take my winnings and leave the table.

How many people would see that shit and be like “Yes, I’m going to hold onto this for the next 10 years when it’s worth something” and then sit through the number of 50+% loss events that happened?

You would have done exactly what 99% of early adopters did, and considered yourself incredibly lucky that you managed to make 1000% returns and sold.

IIRC some inverters are able to sync up with alternative power sources, but the documentation is extremely limited and seems to be reserved mostly for large-scale systems. I know my Solaredge system has slowly been implementing using both at the same time, but the documentation is pretty unclear as to how this works. I know at the very least it’ll allow you to use a 2-wire start to kick a standalone generator on when the batteries are low, but don’t know much else about how it’s currently set up

I’m guessing the commenter above is in the EU and operating at 50Hz normally, so running at 60Hz wouldn’t be a great idea. A backup battery and such operate in the same way when islanding.

It’s pretty uncommon though. Aviation uses far, far more leaded fuel than classic cars.

There are certainly practical reasons for them, like if you do a lot of ATVing, you can negate the need for hauling it in a trailer and just drive it up into the bed. It can definitely be nice to have a truck bed for certain things, but many people buy trucks for stuff they do once a month (if that), and not something they do every day, like commuting.

Because nonsensical insults are their bread and butter, and just being a communist isn’t good enough anymore.

As an American auto worker, I like our move to EVs and the jobs at the massive new factories we built. But I guess wanting blue collar workers learning new skills and technologies makes me a gay communist.

Well, we don’t have anything for long-term suspension, but we do use it sometimes in cases of cardiac arrest.

Nope, it can be minimal to no brain damage at all, which is what makes these so wild to see. The cold keeps their brain and other cells from needing much oxygen, and thus keeps them from dying.

He forgot to mention that after Home Depot, he stopped by Timmies on the way to his rec hockey game

I’m amazed they let him do weekly donations. Isn’t it typically every 6 for typical whole-blood donations? I get he’s got special blood, but I’m surprised it would be that frequent compared to “normal” people

All of them? Absolutely not. The problem of these shitbags being armed and wanting to use them to install a dictatorship? Yeah, being on somewhat equal footing of arms definitely helps.

All of the Covenant designs are meant to be very organic looking. In the novels, the ships and such are described as “looking like undersea predators”

How does one remap buttons on the remote?

FYI, Deoxit works a lot better than WD-40 and is designed to not eat plastics like some of the petroleum distillates in WD-40 can.

Anker is basically the only phone accessory brand I use. Now that iPhone moved to USB-C, Costco finally carries USB-C cables and they sell a really nice set of Anker cables, and Costco vouching for them tells me all I need to know.

I can tell you that nothing has changed about him. I personally know people who worked with him at that time, and he was just as much an arrogant and insufferable egoist as he is now. Legendary screaming matches and him talking completely out of his ass about absolutely everything were the norm and expected in every meeting.

Do any research on his tenure at Zip2/PayPal or any relationship he’s ever had, and you’ll see Musk has always been a petulant child, he just had a lot of people around him to try and hide it, but it seems like he’s scared basically all of them away.

I take the “Two is one, and one is none” mindset on it. I don’t think most people need to have 2 on every floor like I do, but I still would be very concerned about having any sort of shop and it not having its own dedicated extinguisher. I’ve got the little 2.5lb guys in the house, but I want a 10lb’er anywhere with fuel sources. They’re so cheap and take up so little space, I really don’t get why you wouldn’t want more than one.

I’ve never really had anything more than some brake cleaner residue catch fire or a flare up in the kitchen, but it’s just such a cheap form of insurance that I’d rather have “too many” than too few.

I’ve never had to directly deal with a fire, but after an incident where a roommate took the only extinguisher in the house when he moved out and an electrical short from an old crappy dimmer switch, I’m big on having a couple on-hand.

I also have way too many hobbies involving stuff that can easily catch fire and they’re so cheap that I have multiple on each floor. 2 on the upper floor where my sim-rig, 3D printers, reloading supplies, and electronics soldering bench are. One in the kitchen and one in the master bedroom. 2 in the garage (excluding the one that’s mounted in my old MG), and finally one in the basement since there’s basically nothing down there.
