That hybrid approach is especially valuable in heavy trucking, where moving heavy loads at low speeds or in stop-and-go traffic forces diesel trucks into low-gear, high-RPM operation — exactly where fuel consumption climbs and fuel efficiency drops. Electric motors, on the other hand, deliver peak torque (and, therefor, peak efficiency) from 0 RPM, making them ideally suited for the low-speed hauling and grade change scenarios where diesel struggles most. Plus, the mass of a loaded truck-and-trailer combination makes regenerative braking far more impactful than it would be in something like a Prius.
Seems cool. I was wondering why it's better than an electric cab:
Because the VE Motion system can be attached to existing trailers and put to work behind both ICE- and battery-powered semi trucks, the system itself doesn’t ask the fleet operator to make a huge commitment in terms of trucks, trailers, or even infrastructure.
I usually just let it pass. Though often it's in the context of a group meal, or planning a group order, or something, so my not eating meat will come up.
And sometimes people will then ask what I miss or why I'm vegan, which is an opening to say without being abrasive that it's ethical + environment and sounds kind of gross at this point but 'you do you,' and usually prefer good vegetables to meat imposters.
My assumption is that people change their minds out of exposure to personal experiences and not often from judgement, so given that I don't have control over them I'm just going to provide thoughts/information.
Her father later told authorities he had been showing her a Glock handgun he kept in his bedside drawer. He claimed he did not realize the gun was loaded and said he did not know whether his finger was on the trigger when it discharged.
A US grand jury later reviewed the case and declined to indict her father, saying there was not enough evidence to bring criminal charges. The decision came despite the fact that Lucy and her father were alone in the room when the fatal shot was fired.
Research published in JAMA Health Forum earlier this year found that AI-enabled medical devices have a shockingly high recall rate: 43% have had issues bad enough to take them off the market less than one year after their initial approval—about twice the rate of non-AI devices.
A quarter of normal medical devices are recalled within a year?
If you haven't already tried biking your commute, keep a close eye on the bike lane as you're driving. How many delivery trucks or other motor vehicles are driving or stopped in it? Is it clear if gravel, sand, trash, and snow? How would a cyclist make a left turn, and would they have to wait through an extra light cycle? Any potholes, runners, folks with grocery carts collecting aluminum?
If they're checking resumes for this position as closely as they're checking them for the armed bullies, maybe I could get the job with 0 legal experience and lose a lot of cases.
Sounds great. I can't figure out what the status is. Working prototype? Manufacturing?
