Zoro still has them in stock. If you haven't heard of them, they are a subsidiary of Grainger, a huge industrial supply company. They seem to ship even faster than Amazon in my experience.
This is fearmongering. Your skin does not absorb everything it touches, otherwise I would be drunk from using 70% ethyl alcohol hand sanitizer. And the claim that microplastics, physical particles, go right into your skin also seems questionable.
This (instant torque) is exciting for about the first week of electric car ownership, it gets old very fast. I have far more fun driving my much slower gas-engined cars.
There’s much more to enjoying cars than speed in a straight line, which I do not disagree at all most EVs are exceptional at.
Booting the go pedal at every stop sign or light just feels like being a bit of a childish jerk after a short while on public roads once the novelty wears off.
We don't know if 50% makes it actually cheaper than other car insurance companies, or the coverage is comparable, or if they have comparable service. Or if they sell your location information to marketers.
The Samsung A-series are way too good for the price. I'm not surprised people aren't willing to pay twice the price (a Galaxy S) for incredibly marginal gains.
If you're not trying to use your phone as a gaming PC, or taking pictures in the dark, cheap Android phones are all you need.
I love walking up stairs and detest stair machines (and treadmills to an extent). You have to tell your brain to not look ahead to where you are stepping and use your peripheral vision and memory, but instead trust that there will always be a step in front of you, or stare at your feet. It's a bit unnatural.
Agreed. Also much less of a workout per stairs since your center of mass roughly hovers in the same place. Also difficult to resist the temptation of hanging most of bodyweight on hands as I see most people doing.
Google might even know how many drivers aren't obeying the speed limit or slow-rolling through stop signs. I wonder if they already have partnerships with law enforcement to detect areas where the traffic law is more ignored than others.
I am not sure. Self-driving is complex and involves the behavior of other, non-automated actors. This is not like a compression algorithm where things are easily testable and verifiable. If Waymos start behaving extra-oddly in school zones, it may lead to other accidents where drivers attempt to go around the "broken" Waymo and crash into it, other pedestrians, or other vehicles.
I know Tesla FSD is its own thing, but crowdsourced results show that FSD updates often increase the amount of disengagements (errors):
And we haven't reached the point where people start walking straight into the paths of cars, either obliviously or defiantly. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nVEDebSuEUs
There are already anecdotes of people aggressively jaywalking in front of a Waymo because they know it will stop, and people driving more aggressively around Waymos because it will always defer to them.
On street parking is so ingrained into the American lifestyle that any change to the status quo is impossible. Cars have more rights on public property than people. Every suburban neighborhood has conflicts over people's imagined "ownership" of the street parking in front of their house. People rarely use their garages to store their car since they can just leave it on the street. There are often laws that prevent people from other neighborhoods from using the public street to park. New roads are paved as wide as possible to allow both street parking and a double-parked car to not impede traffic. And we've started building homes without any kind of parking that force people to use the street.
Europe is much better at this than we are. Even when you have on street parking, they make sure there are clearances around cross walks and places where there are lots of pedestrians. Most US cities don't even care, even a supposedly pedestrian friendly one like Seattle.
Lol tell that to my city. They removed the cross walks and declared the zone a "shared zone" where pedestrians have right of way.
Result? No more safe places to cross, drivers are not stopping for pedestrians when no cross walk. They added parking zones right up to the old cross walks that pedestrians still use (since it were the safest places) where vans are regularly parked and obscure the entirety one side of the road. Even outside of these shared zones, there are lots lots lots of places where parking space is obscuring the crosswalk, where huge vans park right on it, even though legally you have to be 5+ meters away. Never seen a cop give a ticket for that in my life.
One day someone will get killed right there, I'm sure of it, and it'll be mainly the city's fault.
Impossible is probably the wrong word. But where I live, a superficially "progressive" area, many of these traffic calming, road diet, etc. measures are met with regular opposition.
