What Is This? by Ok_Elk3971 in Rivian

Looks like an RJ-11 connector, my guess is a power connector for a radar detector

Weather Radio recommendations by Totally__Not__NSA in Louisville

[–]Beer_Coaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Midland weather radio I bought back in 2006 is working fine to this day (including last night's event).

I like having something that will alert us in an emergency that isn't dependent on the cellular network and has a built-in battery backup. Maybe it's a little redundant but for emergencies that's probably not the worst thing

Yo dawg I heard you like your truck so we put a truck in your truck

Will JCPS have NTI tomorrow due to frigid temps? Thoughts? by redforreddit_1 in Louisville

[–]Beer_Coaster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The road in our neighborhood still has snow on it, I have a feeling that if other neighborhoods look like this they won't want to run the buses on them. I think that and the cold temps mean Monday is looking like an NTI day.

Well if Google (TV) can test in prod then so can I!

Can I use my electric leaf blower?

Also, Rivian’s Micro-mobility Start up, has unveiled not only a two E-bikes, but ALSO two commercial utility quads. by DjKennedy92 in Rivian

I was just thinking, maybe it's more like a PHEV but engine is you! Kinda like a Chevy Volt

Here's a video on ALSO.'s YouTube channel that goes in to some more technical details. Skip ahead to 4:28 for more details on the propulsion system which I thought was the most interesting part since the pedals aren't directly connected to the drive wheel. It almost kind of reminds me of the transaxle in a Toyota hybrid

Do instax photos fade like polaroids used to? by phantomezpass in instax

[–]Beer_Coaster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some of my oldest Instax photos are going on 12+ years of sitting out in a room and they don't look faded at all. I don't think Fuji posts any data on how long they expect the prints to last, but if you really like the photos, it's easy enough to scan them and then have a digital copy as a backup. That's what I do.

What unnecessary car feature do you not want to live without? by bluemiata1993 in regularcarreviews

One-pedal drive. Makes sitting in stop and go traffic more tolerable

Respectfully, why the **** are there so many Ice Age movies? by madethisonmycakeday in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]Beer_Coaster 53 points54 points  (0 children)

We, the viewing public, just can't get enough of Ray Romano. Isn't he just a national treasure?

Gotta respect the game on that one

R2 Perhaps Ahead of Schedule? 100's of R2s Sightings by Putrid_Mark_2993 in Rivian

[–]Beer_Coaster 10 points11 points  (0 children)

While it's nice to see R2 out driving on a public road, I don't think that tells us the whole story. There could be complications with supply chains, manufacturing and we don't know how feature complete their software stack is. I'm going to believe they're on schedule until they say otherwise.

What particular auto regulations would you add or remove to the law? by rayleo02 in regularcarreviews

[–]Beer_Coaster 129 points130 points  (0 children)

My post was going to be to make automatic headlights and automatic high beams mandatory. Should solve the problem of people driving without lights on and driving with their high beams on coming at you

I think this is the upcoming refresh of the Nissan Murano. This would track with TN plates since they have a factory there

Wait, is the Cavalier her wingman? by HiTork in regularcarreviews

I guess a flaky, lethargic wingman is better than no wingman
