  • You ain't likely to want to do that at -20F at highway speeds.

  • Trump was asked about raising his kids. He went on an eight-minute rant about the death penalty

    Jump

  • Raped? Quite possibly. But raise? Not him, he paid others to do that for him. Trump wouldn't soil HIS hands by actually raising his children.

  • The issue isn't "I don't want to be cold." The problem is when it's below 20F/-7C, you need to wait long enough for the coolant to warm enough to evaporate the moisture in the defrost vents and the inside of the windshield. Otherwise the inside of the windshield frosts over and you can't see well enough to drive safely. And the colder it gets, the longer it takes.

    Do you need remote start? Nope. I don't have it on my vehicles. But you will need to wait long enough to keep the windshield defrosted.

  • As a retired toolmaker, I see your trebuchet and raise you the artillery piece I made for myself - a small Coehorn mortar of about 50mm/2" bore.

    I've known 2 toolmakers that have built their own full scale full functional Gatling guns from scratch also.

  • Yeah, the YTers I follow all are now using internally sourced ads where they get the money. While I will never use or want Hello Fresh or Manscape, I at least know the monies paid for those placements are going directly to the YTer I'm watching.

    The downsides is that you need to be a fairly popular YTer to get such funds. Which is creating a high bar for new creators to start up.

  • But it's also not unusual that E-Stops can cause severe damage to a machine when used. After all, such switches are meant to instantaneously bring everything to a screeching halt for safety reasons without worrying about the machine.

    And in this case, the E-Stop is meant to prevent the MRI from exploding and sending pieces of shrapnel flying everywhere. MRI machines can be quite dangerous in operation.

  • The issue is the complexity of the bespoke design of drive trains. It's nigh on impossible to design a "one size fits all" or even "fits a majority" of solutions for a conversion kit that isn't stupidly expensive.

    See: Edison Motors. A Canadian heavy haul truck manufacturer startup that is trying to offer electric conversions for commercial light and medium duty trucks.

  • Most tradesmen DON'T use a 250 Super Duty unless they really need one. They prefer the standard 1/2 ton base models because they are cheaper and "good enough".

    Kei trucks, while they do have their place and uses in some cities, are NOT the "perfect vehicles" for most tradesmen in many parts of the world. They do not carry enough items and tools for most tradesmen to make all the repair calls they may need to do in one day. They often need to drive well over 100 miles a day to get to all the appointments they can have. And the design of the those little trucks are patently unsafe at highway speeds.

    Vans are sometimes popular, but they are just weird looking trucks. And they can be difficult to access tools and items from. Requiring you to either unload a bunch of stuff to get at something or you need to crawl over everything.

  • The best way to avoid getting into an accident is to see it long before you get there. But situational awareness is not something the vast majority of drivers actually practice or have..........
