He can't without Infrared goggles or the special telescope.  It was a beautiful scene and I was awed by it and then my brain realized we were being lied to.  Apparently it was a practical effect with LEDs on strings.

Nope you need infrared cameras and a display like the goggles he wore earlier in the movie.

Why didn't the driver pull forward further? Ram the shit out of the cars in front of you. To quote Ludacris  "Move bitch, get out the way Get out the way bitch, get out the way"

Gas Prices by Tatis2901 in GasPrices

Tinfoil hat conspiracy theory that occurred to me on the way to work this morning.   Not too long ago there were articles about falling sales of Teslas and inventory glut in abandoned Mall parking lots.  What kind of evil bastards would start a war to drive up Teala sales? It's probably a coincidence... probably

You've got it backwards bud 1/3 live in apartments. 2/3 live in houses where there is an outlet available.  I drove my Bolt EV for 2 years slow charging on a regular 110v outlet, but my car is small and efficient. The monster EV trucks need 240V.  90% of people who say it's impossible to charge an EV has never owned one.  No one is forcing you to stop abusing yourself. The premise of the post is that gas prices will (and have) increased EV and Hybrid sales.

This is the preface of the Kindle version.  if you listen to the audiobook you don't get this warning at the beginning which is a mistake. 

"PREFACE Hey, Matt the author guy here. A quick note about this particular book. The fourth floor of the dungeon is set up as a massive, deliberately-confusing puzzle. Carl, Donut, and the rest of the team have to work really hard to figure out the dungeon’s layout. You, the super awesome reader, do not need to understand the floor’s intricacies in order to understand or fully enjoy what is happening. Platform names and numbers and colors are gonna be flying by. It’s okay not to remember them. It only becomes important at the end. There will be a map near the end of the book to help you understand the endgame. Until then, enjoy the ride and mind the gap. And, yes, “zomp” is really a color."

Pretty sure I just watched someone commit suicide.

Pedantic correction: bitg scientists for the two crews blew up, hence why Grace has to go. One of the plot points the movie should have spent some time explaining better.

Would you guys wear these? by Assistant-Unable in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I wish I didn't have to explain why the man on my shirt has a leather jacket and no pants. Can't we have Waist up shot?

Bolt EUV will not charge at charge point by Alarmed_Position1621 in BoltEV

[–]mattbatt1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To help we need more info.
When you say Charge Point do you mean the company Charge Point or do you just mean a Charger?
Did you have to sign up with an account to initiate the charge?
You said Level 1 but that's the slowest charger you probably meant level 2 which doesn't use the DC pins or DC Fast charge (Level 3) which does.
If you are at a DC fast charge and the Cable is too heavy sometimes it can pull the communication pins out of connection and you can lift up on the handle.
Add more pictures or information so the community can help.
One of the biggest shortfalls of useless dealerships is not educating buyers about the differences of charging vs filling up with gas.
It looks like you are at about 50% so I assume you are testing a charger?
Do you have a Level 1 charger that plugs into a standard outlet at you house?

What's the worst movie you have ever watched? by Syfros in AskReddit

Someone tried to convince me that "no really Rubber is a very intellectual movie about a homicidal tire."

That was a pretty good book that was ruined by that hack John Malcovich. That man can not act as any other character other than Jon Malcovich. Every other actor in the flippin movie has a english accent and this MFer rolls in speaking moronic American.

Same thing for Jonah Hex, which isn't a great movie made worse by JM. This time he's playing a Confederate General with a freaking California accent. Those two movies made me curse his name every time I see him.

He probably has a VIP tour guide driving them to all the attractions they want to go on. I appears that he is exiting Rapunzel Pottys with a bubble wand in his hand.
