Well, truck pulls will definitely be a less exciting experience in the future if EV trucks ever take hold.

So take your gas price and multiply by 4.35 * €2/l x 4.35 = $8.70/ gallon. *4.385 would be a more accurate multiplier based on today's currency exchange rates. But 4.35 or even 4.4 are simpler if you're not too worried about accuracy. Just know that your price may be several pennies/gallon...

I've seen F1 cars with more ground clearance than that last McLaren. Do they send scouts out ahead to ensure there aren't any potholes or speedbumps on their route?

No, I'm talking about the final sprint and, to a lesser extent, the run-in to the sprint. The peloton keeping the breakaway on a short leash and catching towards the end is all about getting the pacing right and team effort, race radios, cooperation, etc. I'm talking about an individual...

Stage 5 was certainly good. A lot of team strategy and plenty of attacks. What really impressed me is how finely these athletes are able to measure their own abilities and those of their competitors. To be able to know just how much you can let them go before pulling the trigger and reeling...

The study cited as the source of the article is here: https://tsaco.bmj.com/content/11/3/e002099 Unfortunately the link to the dataset used returns a 404 error. But seems like a relatively straightforward study. They do note the need to better identify and classify emotos vs ebikes. But...

So roughly about the same percentage as old windows. And asphalt roofs? 4-5 million get replaced every year and the estimates I've seen are a 10-20% recycle rate. It will be decades before solar panels are a significant part of our construction waste stream. I do agree that systems should...

Amazing finish!

The idea that Bosch is trying to deter people from riding ebikes so they can sell more car parts is ludicrous on its face. Bosch dominates the ebike market in Europe, where ebikes ARE considered a viable everyday transportation option. And the European car market is about the same size as...

Tough break for Sepp Kuss, but it could have been much much worse.

Montessori squatch. I really like how he left the squatch brick colored.

How does NJ account for all the ebikes that assist to 28mph but are not throttle equipped? I'm guessing it's considered a motorized bicycle according to the law, but you'd never know from that infographic.

Yeah, I have some GM stock certificates I've kept in a drawer in case we run out of toilet paper. Current shares are worth $75/share, the ones I have are worthless.
