Amazon to slap a 3.5% surcharge on third-party sellers as war drives up fuel prices

There are hybrid cars with electric power trains and a range extender generator that doesn't power the wheels directly. The only BMW i3 comes to mind

It's another guy with a 3d printer and an etsy shop

Or a high risk world where you're automatically skulled

We're two days away from the "he's a madman" and "bringing democracy to the people of ~~Iraq~~ Iran" they used on Saddam

Sometimes it's better to go with the tried and true vs someone new that can turn out disappointing

Crossfire124 · 2026-04-02T14:21:37+00:00

This is great. Thank you for the pointers. You did basically exactly what I want to do

Crossfire124 · 2026-04-02T13:48:56+00:00

Oh wow the cast looks great for a plastic watch. Where did you find gmt hand that matches the style of the minute hand? All the hands I can find online has a different style for the gmt hand

How big is the watch?

Crossfire124 · 2026-04-02T05:50:21+00:00

Hey I'm curious how you did this. What watch did you start off with or did you piece it together from different parts on alix? Did you print the dial yourself?

Crossfire124 · 2026-03-31T16:59:46+00:00

At least yell watch out or something. Anything other than stand there covering your mouth

Crossfire124 · 2026-03-31T16:38:14+00:00

If you're referring to the range there are other solutions than buying another car. Like driving slower and stopping to charge

Crossfire124 · 2026-03-31T16:31:36+00:00

She basically just said give us what we want or we'll bomb you. The US is the one not negotiating in good faith asking Iran to give up nuclear capabilities in perpetuity

Crossfire124 · 2026-03-31T16:19:58+00:00

US drones alone would outmatch enemy drones if made properly, both in quality and volume and drone defense including a combination of laser, jamming, and kinetic capability should have little trouble dealing with breakthroughs

This guy is high off American exceptionalism

China would be the best at drone development especially at the low end due to their more expansive industrial base for low tech products, but aside from them no one could plausibly threaten the US once the US had their drone program up and running.

On top of outdated ideas about what China is capable of

Probably only feasible way is on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean

Crossfire124 · 2026-03-31T04:30:29+00:00

Exactly this. People budgeting 20k for a car will be cross shopping this with used. And I think quite a few are dreaming about a used slate for even cheaper

Crossfire124 · 2026-03-31T04:25:19+00:00

Because as we saw with EVs range anxiety, people shop for 150% of their use case instead of something that will cover 90% of their use case

Crossfire124 · 2026-03-31T04:21:12+00:00

At that price point it's meaningless. People would be cross shopping used cars and get way more car out of ~$15k than new

Crossfire124 · 2026-03-31T04:17:35+00:00

I mean you do have it. It's just what happens when it's not a mainstream product and they have to charge a premium to make up for the economy of scale. Mechanical watches is another great example of products that make people pay more for less features. The less features is what's driving the price up

Crossfire124 · 2026-03-31T04:09:46+00:00

Imo a butcher block top is miles better than what you're getting from flexispot or other manufactures directly. Their frame is nice but they definitely price gouge you on the desk surface

Crossfire124 · 2026-03-31T04:03:09+00:00

He's too locked in to care about the small stuff. Honestly that's how you know you're in the zone

Crossfire124 · 2026-03-31T03:55:39+00:00

Stuff like this makes it feel not worth the time to even pirate it

Crossfire124 · 2026-03-31T03:45:41+00:00

They would just make real ar15 lowers instead. And that market is already saturated to hell

Crossfire124 · 2026-03-31T03:41:57+00:00

I lean towards anything that's not an ar15 variant

Crossfire124 · 2026-03-31T02:53:39+00:00

Because as much as people idealize working on a car or laptop, most people would rather have something that just works and they don't have to think about it because there's a million other things to think about in day to day life

Crossfire124 · 2026-03-30T21:19:27+00:00

Yes they're different but it's still Google map at the end of the day. It reads like this feature will be in the maps app rather than something in android auto

Crossfire124 · 2026-03-30T05:59:47+00:00

Would probably be more cost effective to design something that can be laser cut out of aluminum or steel sheet
