I remember having to drag a chase out for a long time. 60 or 90 minutes. I think it was a challenge race form outside the campaign. It mixes into the finale race/chase where I think the escape strategy has to develop before letting you jump the bridge, all on heat 6 for the first and only time.

Yes, for all of those, so much effort could be lost to one professional placement of a spike strip. Good times. Bad times. But at least you could reset the game to win the loot boxes back then.

I my circle, I was the only one playing the next title, Need for Speed Carbon, who recognized Tamoah Penikett. Helo / Sharon’s husband on BSG

But anyway, I don’t remember if all the NfSMW blacklist racers had acting scenes. I think some were skipped. Not like the acting was deep. But, neat.

I was thinking about the quote “the rarest material in the universe is wood”. I feel like oil is rarer. I of course get the sentiment about ignoring the beauty on Earth, but realizing there’s probably less oil (and not being able to replace it) just put me in a bummed mood about the human condition.

An expert in everything except the one thing you know well was never an expert in anything. I’ve been selectively repeating that as those around me find the cracks in their favorite chatbot

So did most of us. No reason to be hostile to someone who took more time but still committed. The day they monetized the API was the 3rd best day. Today is the 4th best day.

I have a honda with linked brakes, the precursor to ABS implementation. Rotation in the front left caliper applies one of 3 rear pistons, rotation of the rear caliper applies 1 of 6 front pistons. I have like 5 bleed valves on the 3 calipers and 2 or 3 valves inside the frame.

But it’s very difficult to lock up the rear wheel. I’ve never had it happen in a straight line.

Love how people are going on about regenerative brakes when this is simply deleting the hydraulic lines for wires and actuators in a normal friction brake system.

The headline is ambiguous. The thumbnail less so. The article is not. This deletes the hydraulic lines to use electrical systems to actuate otherwise-normal brakes.

Yasa is not a current OEM. They are a research group partnered with Mercedes, not supplying Mercedes with current market equipment. So no, this is not a solution to regen braking not being able to brake the last 10% to a stop. That’s not what BMW claimed, either. They said “almost never” activate mechanical brakes. Everyone is still using mechanical brakes for the last, final stopping force. That is how generators work. If they’re not spinning they’re not generating. Slowing to a stop means the braking force from regen rides the curve down to near zero. Yada has nothing to do with the thread anyway

You have no idea what you’re talking about. The brembo system in the OP simply replaces the hydraulic system with an electric one. It’s not a regen brake. It’s a brake pedal sensor that commands motors to actuate pistons in normal caliper/rotor/pad arrangement.

Meanwhile, nowhere in the Yasa site does it say it can hold a motor still strictly through “magnets” because that’s not how motor/generators work. You can’t get resistance to motion without motion being input into the system. No rotation, no generated electricity, no electricity to shove into a battery/heat exchanger. Not to mention that site is primarily marketing hand waving. Research papers to back it are great, but they’re not what that site is about. They’re partnered with Mercedes, not actively producing these as current equipment.

I’m in the overlap where I can easily follow reg edit direction and similar tutorials but can’t actually diagnose it myself. I wouldn’t have a clue. These known regedit edit workaround posts exist and are spread because there’s a ton of people in this overlap. We just aren’t vocal because it’s not one of our hills to die on.

But I can deal with cars, fix older models, and avoid buying an internet-connected model. Shit, I even learned how to fix drum brakes to maintain my options. I also disconnected my smart TV and grabbed a retired pc with win 10 pro or whatever to get some control back over that.

I do what I can, but at the end of the day, I still need to relax at some point.

Elite Dangerous at about 1300 hours. I do wonder if anything from the ps2 days beats that, with more time and fewer games, but I doubt it. Been playing for 6 years

I’m on the Distant Worlds 3 expedition. I’ve been relying on the carrier shuttling to keep pace. I wanted to try flying myself form waypoint 12 to 13. Something like 8,000ly in a week. I’m still heading to my second POI along the way, 4kly from wp 12, 4kly to poi 2, and then it’s another 4kly to wp 13. I’ve been going 7 days out of 10 available before they go to wp 14. They’re all undiscovered systems so it’s hard to convince myself to just honk and scan and leave without at least mapping bio signs… For science. And just like that, it became a family road trip “vacation”

I’m no noob, either. 1300 hours and several of prior 5-10kly exploration trips. 50ly jump range and the neeeeed to scan

I suspected as much. The only car I’ve ever seen with a coffee symbol. That alert can be disabled in the settings. At least, it’s easy in the turbo gen 2 fusions (2013-2020) with the single dial gauge and dual screens in the dash. Not sure if the 2.5l gen 2 (or any gen 1) has that alert in the more basic single screen dash.

Gen 2 is a great car otherwise because it’s a rebadged EU Mondeo.

You can easily go up to 2010 and later without any antennas besides the radio. But also yes, the answer is dumb Ford Ranger for other reasons.

I really want a maverick (ute), but I will not do it without confirmation that it will function fine with the cell antenna unplugged.

A Mazda with a Ford badge is the lord’s truck (83-11 ranger)

A ski would be a nightmare. Ski bikes for downhill slopes are one thing, but self-propelling a bike with a ski would majorly suck. The only reason a bike balances is because of tiny steering inputs to the front wheel. If you aren’t aware of that, it’s because of the geometry of the front fork has been worked out a century ago, so it comes naturally. The greatest proof is the reverse-steering bike experiments. Every time the novice reverse rider starts to fall, they steer the wrong way harder and harder. But then it clicks eventually, their brain reverses, and it works again. The gyroscopic effect resists falling, but it doesn’t stay upright on its own forever.

Back to the point. I’ve skied, I’ve snowboarded. You balance by rocking and steering yourself. While ski bikes do exist for the slopes, all 3 of these take relatively wide paths to stay balanced Ina mild weave. Bikes do it in a much narrower path because they have grip in the tires. Replace that with a constant slide and it gets dicey fast. You lose the ability to balance any time the front washes out. And to see more of that concept, search “lowside crash motorcycle”. The front locks/slides, all balance is lost.

Stick to cleared pathways and at least hard pack snow. Powder is awful to bike through. I’ve done it. No mortal bike tire floats how it’d need to

It’s over 9,000 bigmacs. This is what the ruling class does instead of feeding us. That’s over 9,000 bigmacs in waste. Per loss. Just flame broiling in the atmosphere instead of going to where it would help the most.

No, smaller, actually. A squint is 17.76 hair’s breadths

A meme is a repeating joke or other pop culture act, including the category of text overlay templates. I don’t see any other uses of this panel, so it is not yet a meme. It is currently a comic panel.

Make a second one and we’re all set.
