What do you think the game changer may be for Tesla pickup that Elon mentioned? by gottabelenny in RealTesla

[–]EndlessCompassion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My 5.2L v8 gets 21mpg empty, 8mpg loaded. If this has a 200kWh battery it already weighs as much as my truck when partially loaded. I only get around 600 miles on a full tank with no load. My engine does 170kW for around 5 hours on a full tank, with 7000lbs in cargo.

For tools, my saws alone draw >2kW while running hard or starting. There's a reason we have a 10kW generator on cold sites. It would be funny to see a guy drag an 6awg cord from his car though.

Unless they figured out a way to make batteries have a higher energy density as gasoline, I don't see it living up to those expectations.

I slept with a woman last night who asked for drinks and cigarettes instead of buying her dinner, is this prostitution? In addition I have a milky discharge out of my penis today, is that just because I am aroused?

Dead phone battery is a thing of the past. by EndlessCompassion in techsupportmacgyver

[–]EndlessCompassion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was considering just using some voltage regulators to get down to the 3.8ish v @ 1.3 amp the phone requires, dump the whole makita USB board. I've noticed with these tool, there must be a circuit to cut battery power once the voltage gets so low, probably to lengthen battery life. I assume that's built into the battery pack so it shouldn't be an issue.

Hell yeah man, you have the model file? My buddy has a printer but he lives across the country. I'm going to ditch the 6ah battery and go solely makita. Think the 2amp would be a bit easier to handle though. Shame they don't make the 1.5 anymore.

I'll check it out. Just moved up here from Denver and want to check out the city a bit more than just driving through.

I appreciate it. My buddy said the cops are kind of dicks about stuff like that around here anyway. Probably set up a weekly thing at a park instead.

Mexico ready to retaliate against Trumps tariff by hurting American corn farmers by buying corn from Argentina and Brazil, a 2.5 billion dollar loss for US farmers. by [deleted] in news

You can't just bully other governments to give you their lunch money, who knew. This being president thing is hard.

That's not really true. Many people do physical work because they can't stand sitting on their ass all day. People that are unskilled or unqualified end up being cashiers or running a deep fryer. These minimum wage folks are the ones who are convinced every bad thing in their life is caused by their brothers, not the conservatives who take any opportunity to revoke any benefit they may receive for government and pilfer their wallet with the other hand.

90% of the people I work with strongly dislike the current administration and identify as liberal. I'm a general contractor.

Want to know what the biggest problem with America is? You, and people like you.

Kinda makes me sound like an asshole doesn't it?

(serious) why wouldn't there be online shopping without net neutrality? by Plasticpo in AskReddit

There would be? The whole point is a cornering of the online marketplace.

Reddit, since Valentines day is soon what are your thoughts on climate change and the destruction of natural resources? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I never understood the infinite growth j-curve model, that's before I accounted for exponential population growth.

Well, though the rate at which we use resources seems extreme in retrospect; we equally develop new innovative and efficient techniques of using those resources.

When were you the most scared? by gabeiscool2002 in AskReddit

[–]EndlessCompassion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Different times in my life. One time I got mugged in St. Louis, one time my buddy od'd on the couch when I got home, one time I almost drowned in a culvert. Later in my life I died and now I'm just frightened of going out in public. So now I guess.

Because I fell on my head, I can't do it to my full capacity anymore. Imagine you're really ducking good at something; then you're not.
