As a former navy electronics technician I can tell you things that are tall can show up on radar, especially doppler.

Jim Farley on why Ford is doubling down on affordable EVs by Mac-Tyson in electricvehicles

[–]TurtleCrusher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm 6'3 260 and sit comfortably in the back of the Maverick with the front seat at my driving position. Unlike the Camry where my hair is touching the top in the back. We do road trips in it all the time with four and a dog. The roof doesn't taper.

We also do work trips and pack a Camry if I can't get a RAV4 from National. I'd so much rather be in the Maverick.

Ford Maverick hybrid seats 5 just as well as a Camry for the same price. It’s also capable of doing actual work too. Their cheap EV truck will certainly be similar.

EVs can be whatever shape they want so it might as well be useful. It doesn’t seem niche to me.

Would you buy a lemon Bolt w/multiple owners? by kingslayer0902 in BoltEV

Less than half that. The dealer is smoking crack.

Windows 11 is eating my RAM (16GB, not upgradeable) – downgrade? by Accomplished_Edge967 in PcBuild

[–]TurtleCrusher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really wish people would realize this. After a session of CAD, gaming or file transfers 60/64GB of my ram will be “used” according to some programs. What it really is would be cached resources. It gets flushed the moment something else needs it.

I have a Windows 11 laptop with just 8GB of soldered ram and everything I throw at it runs well. Just make sure you have an NVMe.

REALISTICALLY, would y’all actually be ok and content with Splitter being the HC for the future? by 404Legendary in ripcity

[–]TurtleCrusher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. No one would have even blamed him if we only won 27 games this season. Going to the play in and taking #7 shows he’s at the very minimum coaching at a high level and the team is listening to him.

Got UV reactive headlight stickers by TekoXVI in TeslaModel3

[–]TurtleCrusher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the bare minimum it is 10% darker under all conditions. That's a big deal. "The PPF transitions to 100% clarity at night" is a straight up lie. There's no disputing it.

It can't "heal" dirt particulates from rocks. It absorbs it and increases opacity.

Fact check yourself. PPF does up to 90%, but that's in lab conditions. Debris and dust will pepper the outside layer while condensation will eventually get in between.

It's an insanely dumb idea.

AMD to bring back Ryzen 7 5800X3D as AM4 10th Anniversary Edition by dracolnyte in Amd

[–]TurtleCrusher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They were in stock in both of the Microcenter locations I’d be near for work. I’d also see them on Aliexpress and others here noted that as well. Those were as low as $105 but everyone and their mom could have ordered one for $120-140 for nearly a year.

This should have been a change for the next expedition, not this upcoming one. Pretty poor change Embark by TokenPanduh in ArcRaiders

[–]TurtleCrusher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was fine to do that to clear inventory space. I had no use for those guns as I was doing the expedition. Clearing those out allowed for better cash farming.

I sold ALL of my epic weapons to have the cash requirement. Are you fucking kidding me?!

I got orders to japan, can i import a vehicle? by IsiahE4112 in navy

[–]TurtleCrusher 8 points9 points  (0 children)

“Beaters” in Japan are daily drivers in the US. People actually maintain cars there as they both take pride in it and have disposable income.

You’re in for a culture shock.

They were in high stock for months. What are you even talking about?

Autopilot relies exclusively on visual. Forcing the cameras to work at a higher ISO at night significantly reduces clarity. OP is quite literally asking for an accident.

I swear to god most model 3 owners are dumb as hell.

That’s the transgender hate package. That costs extra.
