Hybrids (at least Toyota hybrids; unclear about other brands) don’t just use a smaller engine - it’s a much more efficient engine design. However, this design also requires performance compromises that are only acceptable because there’s an electric motor supplementing it.

Someone else already linked the Technology Connections video that covers it in much greater detail.

Huge is subjective, but there are many solar farms today running on just a few acres. Some quick googling says that community-based and commercial farms typically run on 10-40 acres, generating between 50-200 megawatts. If you consider 40 acres to be a huge farm, then sure. But it doesn’t make much sense to run these in a decent populated area anyway. This is no different than coal, gas, or other power plants today, albeit for different reasons.

As for huge batteries, yes, we will need them once solar power capacity reaches a point where generation in the day exceeds the demand. As it stands, many places still have off-peak pricing at night. Solar would need to counterbalance that completely before we need huge batteries for solar.

“solar-powered cars” have been tried many times because it’s a great headline, but the math never works. Cars simply don’t have enough surface area to capture a lot of solar power. The amount of energy is low enough to not be worthwhile, except in the most extreme edge cases.

It can be, and traditionally has been. But how fast do you think you can bring a solar farm online? Securing the land and zoning is probably the biggest delay, followed by running lines to the grid.

It’s 12 amps even. It’s the 80% rule for continuous draw, defined as expected use to run for 3 hours or more. That’s why a space heater is 1500 watts, but a hairdryer is 1800.

That sounds a lot like Lordstown, which collapsed incredibly soon after beginning production. Part of the issue was that their target audience (fleets with basic work trucks) isn’t so fond of relying on a small, unestablished startup.

This is why I’m hesitant to say Adam Baldwin. He’s always the same basic character, but I think there are enough subtle differences between them to not count.

For the record, Gates did NOT go to the island, ever. Not even once.

He was a frequent guest at Epstein’s Manhattan penthouse, but never the island. He refuses to say why he never went to the island, other than saying it’s not for him. It is rumored he caught an STD from someone at the penthouse.

None of this excuses Gates, since he clearly associated with Epstein. Just correcting the record on a detail.

Way back in the day, Last.fm recommended me a number of (mostly metal) tracks in other languages that absolutely slap. I have no idea how to pronounce any of it, or even type the characters to see what else they might have done. All I can do is copy/paste, which is of limited value since I only speak English.

So yes, and I’m sure I’m missing a ton more just like these that I just have no way to find.

If they’re not going to collect a judgement, they want it to at least be an enormous judgement they’re not collecting.

Theoretically it could be done. Microsoft SCCM has allowed in-place full reimaging for a long time. It downloads a WinPE boot image (which loads everything into a RAM disk), reboots into that, and launches all of the rest from there. Even wiping and repartitioning the drive.

I don’t see why that WinPE image couldn’t be replaced by a small Linux image, or that you could install Linux from WinPE. I’ve just never seen it.

That said, no browser should ever have that level of permissions, ever, under any circumstances. The security problems would be staggering.

It’s certainly a good place to start, but there is a fuckton of very important details not included in that video.

For starters, Legal Eagle (but not Devin) released a second video about the actions of the American Fork Police Department.

Coffeezilla got interviews with many key players not seen elsewhere. This covers numerous possibilities of theft, embezzlement, lies and cover-ups.

The Civil Rights Lawyer goes into much greater detail of the situation with the American Fork PD, and the criminal charges pending. He also discusses a number of possible civil suits against the PD.

The agent is a local, usually small business, and acts as a buyer on your behalf. They guide you on coverage to get, and the options available to you.

Those quotes come from the major insurance companies you always see advertised. They are the ones underwriting your coverage. These are almost invariably faceless corporations, with decisions by faceless computers.

The local agent can’t do anything but recommend coverage elsewhere.

The start button (or app, or whatever) absolutely does something, and to say otherwise leads me to think you need to dive in deeper to how they work.

The button closes the contactors, activating the high voltage battery pack. To do otherwise is a massive safety risk. It also verifies the key (to prevent theft, and required by law) and on some models launches the parts of software needed for driving.

I’m not familiar with Tesla’s design, but it should be easy enough to set the code to run this process whenever the door closes. Whether that’s what people want is a different question entirely.

Something that stood out to me from Legal Eagle pt1 was that everyone involved - everyone - should’ve talked to a lawyer sooner than they did (if they even did). This is especially true for Reckless Ben, and what he did in Utah (covered by Legal Eagle pt2). He really, really needs to find a lawyer, and listen to their advice. I get that he’s trying to create content, but this isn’t the way.

I appreciate the point you’re making. However, even at a glance you can quite easily see there’s a sudden jump well beyond inflation. On top of that, they also include a graph that does adjust for inflation. They look very similar. In fact, the only noteworthy difference is that the price (adjusted for inflation) has remained flat until this year, where it suddenly spiked.

the BBC will put Doctor Who out to competitive tender this year.

Does this mean they’re going to be selling shares (stock) of Doctor Who?

He was a spy. His official title was something innocuous, but he was a spy.

5 years is a very long time in this field right now. 3 years ago, Aging Wheels made a video about how Tesla Superchargers were the only real option for a road trip. A few months ago, they released a video where they avoided superchargers because they were outdated technology.

I just checked, and it’s very doable on most EVs. There aren’t a lot of good options from Amarillo to Wichita Falls, but most can cross that gap anyway.
