  • Lazlo says we only need 200 petajoules!

  • Hmmm, a nuclear based propellant. Might be easiest to make it a pulse based rocket so you can use a bunch of tiny nuclear explosions to propel yourself into space. I'm sure that won't have any environmental ramifications.

  • GTA 3 came out when I was in 3rd grade and I remember my dad renting it from Blockbuster. My mom was not thrilled.I personally remember thinking, "This is like Driver, but better." I think we eventually bought it a year or two later, but my mom wouldn't let me play, so I to do it when she wasn't around.

  • However, I can remember multiple strings of 6+ digits at once. Used that ability as a kid once while on a road trip. I remembered a restaurant's number from their road sign (area code included) for several hours so we could call them when we eventually got back to the hotel. This was well before cell phones were ubiquitous.

  • By that definition, I would say they reached that milestone quite a while ago.

  • When I tried Sony's 5 IV last year, it came with a headphone jack. Most of Sony's lineup comes with it I believe.

  • I like that he's being environmentally friendly by using metal straws.

    Or is that because real straws would disintegrate in the gasoline?

  • Define "meaningfully". There have been several different types of innovations in recent years depending on how you look at it.Mazda made a gas engine that can switch from spark plug ignition to compression ignition. Though I don't think they brought it to the states.Nissan made an engine that can vary its compression ratio on the fly. Something no other engine can do to my knowledge.Hyundai made a cam shaft that can vary the length of time it opens and closes the valves rather than just varying the time that they open.There's a company called Speed of Air that designed piston heads that have dimples in them like a golf ball. Those dimples apparently can significantly improve the engine's power and, more importantly, its efficiency. Though I don't have a video link talking about that. Just their site.Porsche also designed a 6 stroke engine. Though I'll have to watch the video again as I don't remember much about it.If you want to get more experimental, someone made something called a rotary vane engine.

    People are definitely still trying to find ways to improve the internal combustion engine. It's just this technology takes time to reach the mainstream, if it ever does.

  • And think about the impact the whaling industry had on these environments back in the 1800 and 1900s. Who knows how much damage we did and how many potential animals we caused the extinction of by doing that.

    Edit: Found a source.

  • Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash

    跳过

  • When I first learned that Teslas (and almost all other EV's) have electronic only doors, I knew this kind of situation would happen.I hope this gets laws enacted that force manufacturers to install mechanical latches on all of their vehicles. I know Teslas have manual overrides on their front doors, but the rear doors still have this issue.

  • It doesn't, but with these apps, you can see what information they send back to their servers (if any). If there is no info getting sent back to any servers, then there's nothing a subpoena can do since there's no info to subpoena. You can't obtain info that just isn't there.
