For me it's the "downtime" factor. How long does it take to charge? I can stop at a gas station and have a full tank in a matter of minutes. Hours and hours of charging? No thanks I'm the same except the opposite. :lol: Stopping at the gas station is the down time I want to avoid. The car...

Whelp, the Wood Elf team roster got leaked. I am not happy at all. Not happy enough that I am seriously considering sitting this edition of the game out. I said the same thing after LRB 3 or 4. We had two seasons of a 3rd ed league instead but after that i don't think any of us played again. Every ...

My aunt sent me some slides of my dad as a kid. He died when I was only 3, and it was from fire in our house, so I have very few memories of him. My wife bought me a slide scanner for our anniversary, and I am finally able to scan and see these! It's fantastic! I also picked up some colorizing soft...

the technology is there to program robocars that are safer drivers than humans (or perhaps that it already HAS endured beyond that point). Statistically, that is a hilariously low bar to clear. Everyone likes to think they're one of the people that are actually really good and reliable drivers, but...

Don't buy a bed from Kohls. My sis bought one for herself and a month later the plastic dowels sheered clean off. I fixed it but by screwing some 2x4s into the frame. Plastic dowels as a structural portion of the frame? :wtf: Yeah I had to read that a couple times too :crazy: There is a price of pa...

I actually predict that liability will work in the other direction, at the consumer level anyway. As the robocar becomes a practical alternative for most people, the cost of insuring yourself as a driver will go up. The risk pool will get smaller as everyone who isn't a car enthusiast leaves it, an...

It's more that I'd rather have a well sorted 4 than a V6, but the straight 6 is better than either. Drives me barmy how thoroughly regulated Formula 1 engines are now, they might as well just turn it into a spec series given they're far enough down the rabbit hole to have specified the bore, and th...

I see a fully autonomous (fully legal, full time hands off controls) happening before more EVs are sold than ICE. I see that happening in over the road trucking before it hits in the consumer market. Trains have been like this for awhile now. I think that gas consumer cars will be always be produce...
