do you have a cyclobenzaprine prescription?

yeah see the first comment. Older models use regen first when pressing the brake pedal (which is the same as every over EV since the Nissan Leaf...)

That crew, less Miles Davis, played on so many amazing records of that era

Is that a person standing in the twilight woods or just a weird tree? One's brain fills in a bunch of person-like details that really seem a whole lot like these hallucinated dog faces, but then once some deeper layer determines it's a tree they suddenly start looking like branches, bark, etc

Something I've found striking is when you are visually misinterpreting something but a more accurate interpretation suddenly "snaps" into place when you figure it out. A layer further back gets replaced and all the smaller details get re-lined up

No, Teslas have *always* done this. Absolutely not a new development

you can get a slightly classier version packed 5 to a lot in my neighborhood for only 3-4x as much

TIL about these interesting political boundaries

dumb people with a lot of hubris

I randomly rode the Muni with Scott Wiener when I was last in San Francisco. The man is tall as hell

Yeah, I think total penetration isn't high enough to make a huge difference, and to the degree it does the culture war polarization on EVs means that only people who are cushioned by them were already going to vote D. Whoops!

If they want me back they have to go fully Woke 2, sorry. Whole hog. I gotta be able to get an abortion there

One of the biggest and most persistent gaps in mutual comprehension when it comes to conversations about 🇮🇱/🇵🇸 is that a lot of Liberal Zionists see "there is no public support in Israel for ending the Occupation" as exculpatory, rather than condemnatory.

Just a reminder that Trump didn't just bumble us into an unnecessary war -- he deliberately created the conditions that he's now screaming about

This is right. He's great. But it's also an indictment of most other political columnists, who for the most part apply none of the rigor or historical context they should

Some incredibly alarming shit is happening

I suppose the question here is if this will be the event that reminds the American voter that they are electing people with the awesome power to end lives and destroy countries, rather than voting for the funniest doof on a reality TV show.

let's try it again

Pinion competitors? I'm interested...

I commute on a belt+pinion acoustic bike, which is very nice but doesn't appear to come super cheap

I have a front wheel hub motor on my Bullitt. It has worked quite well, if you want to save $, doing that and having an internal rear hub + belt drive might be the way to go.

It is a genuine bummer that front-loading cargo bikes cost about as much than a used Nissan Leaf, but I also feel it could be an opportunity for a someone to undercut them

i didn't know it wasn't contiguous

(some) drivers really seem to think "I didn't see you" is exculpatory!! absolutely baffling

[shudders and suppresses nausea]

yeah, >300W sustained on an exercise bike is pretty hard work. Humans can produce a tiny fraction of the energy we use (and using energy to produce calories to fuel us is *enormously* inefficient vs using it directly)

Renewable Energy Defies Trump’s Attacks, Reaching a New Record Wind, solar and other green sources generated more than a quarter of all US energy last year.

Despite Trump's frantic efforts to stop it, the renewable energy revolution rolls on:

"93% of new generation capacity expected to be added to the grid this year will come from wind, solar and batteries"

Sure, yeah, there are plenty of cideries, but almost every type of alcohol production is in steep decline right now. Things will probably level out in a few years but I expect majority of extant breweries will be out of business soon

YouTube video by Syn Gates Tesla model 3 2025 FSD 13.2.8 crash front view

Right. The worst-case examples I've seen from Tesla FSD are just super dangerous and extreme. I have never seen any videos of Waymos doing anything approaching this, fundamentally I suspect they've taken a different approach

Was prohibition America's dry january?
