I think being a cyclist helps one drive economically. Personal experience of burning my matches constantly accelerating and decelerating reminds me...

I'd never heard this tune before -- and to be honest, I'm not sure I'd ever heard anything by Cake (although the singer's voice does sound vaguely...

Well, I happen to find a Lunar Pilot limited edition that was on sale at Macy's, with discounts applied I got for cheaper than anywhere on the...

The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street.

https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/UnclassSummaryofDVEAssessment-17MAR21.pdf It isn't like Homeland security is unaware. I am...

All-seasons. I’m having winter tires installed on Thursday. I’m a believer. They will surely reduce range and efficiency but IMHO they’re worth it...

I am sure improvements to the grid are innumerable. Most utility companies won’t do anything not mandated by the government, and the government is...

The ability to accelerate quickly was a battery killer on my sister's first big road trip. I-40 has dense big rig traffic with rolling terrain so...

Does the Y come with good tires for winter driving? I’ve wondered how careful one needs to be about the weight of a winter wheel + tire set for an EV.

This report was on 60 Minutes earlier in the year after someone fired some .50 cal rounds into a couple transformers in California. Essentially,...

Executive summary: the grid can handle some level of typical problems. It can't handle terrorism, domestic or otherwise. Want to bring the US to our...

Bon Ross, this is 2022. Moore County is proud of its racetracks, but this is the Culture Wars turning into real violence- Queens, not piston pushers...

I have no answers but as someone that likes to think things through I find the whole electrical grid ridiculous. It seems like the type of thing...

I'm guessing this refers to a quarter-mile car race and not a campy musical number performed by heavily made-up men in women's clothing, but either...

Very nice! That's a GW-5000U, what many square nerds would call the 'ultimate square' because it has a steel case (like the OG models had back in...

Fasten a cross brace and Bob's your Munkle. LOL I'm still at the brown tarps and cinder blocks stage. I can do better.

Something I was thinking about with all the fuss about EV's and road tripping. I have only needed to charge mine once while out on the road and it...

Heck yes, go with him to make sure everything’s OK. Could be an excuse to pick up a rinko bike while you’re there.

Building is learning.

#millemiglia and all is right in the world.

Our youngest received an engineering graduate internship offer for next Summer with a robotics firm that’s based in Japan, but this particular...

So far, so good. I’m a bit surprised that the crazy torque and acceleration don’t seem to taper off at highway speeds. It’s stupid easy to shoot into...

https://www.hrowen.co.uk/used-car-details/used-ferrari-250-lusso-coupe-silver-manual-petrol/id-504494123/ This is truly a splendid car.

My sister and her husband have that model and have now done two long road trips in it. DFW to Phoenix was their latest trip for thanksgiving. Two...

I want a Porsche 718 4.0 GTS. But that Ferrari would look nice from the driver’s seat!

Saab, now that you have your daily driver, maybe you need a car for some me time. I am happy to enquire for you.

Under the El, Wrigleyville 2011

Karen and I Ubered across town to meet some friends out and we rode in one similar. I was impressed. The driver loved it, went on and on about it...

Shrinkflation?

Yep. With no one around I sauna proper, the way we all come into the world… The sandals are Birkenstock’s with a wool lining, super comfy

Just Kontiolahti so far this season. She finished 59th with 3 missed in sprint and 42 with 4 misses in individual. I didn't see any coverage on...

I bought a pair of these. They'd make good run-to-sauna shoes.

About 5 minutes before I stopped to snap this pic, the wind kicked up and blew a sheet of rain and leaves sideways across the road in front of me as...

Is Stina Nilsson improving on the range? Nothing second-tier about her skiing …

Biathlon is great. As I understand it, most of the competitors now are second tier cross country skiers who are taught how to shoot. Originally...

Robe and sandals?
