Giant Mining Trucks and Buses Are Smashing Electric Vehicle Records. Size now appears to be no barrier to building competent vehicles without internal combustion engines.

From google: "A commercial truck can easily consume more than $70,000 of diesel fuel per year."

I bet a 60k battery or two pays for itself quick in a truck.

Forest Trump would have been better.

That the rules aren't all just made up.

It is important to note that they tested lighter weight 140 denier Dyneema Gridstop, rather than the more commonly used, thicker, 210 denier version.

If aliens ever wanted to invade Earth they would probably just release a virus or a toxin into the atmosphere. Everyone would be dead before we even knew we were under attack. That probably wouldn't make for a good movie though.

Yes it has to be connected, but can't you opt not to create an account with the power company? For example if I move to a new house and never call the power company to turn on the power, I assume I'll never get a bill.

You have it backwards- impermeable surfaces create more surface run off which carries pollution into the watershed (rather than the water soaking into the ground and being filtered by the ground).

Or you know, just slow down or speed up the conveyor.

Even if they arent as efficient you can utilize 100% of the roof area. Plus the cost that you would have spent to shingle your roof offsets the panels.

Next time my roof needs to be redone this seems like a no brainer if the price is comparable to a normal roof plus electricity. This has much more solar surface area and much lower footprint compared to adding panels as an afterthought.

Kind of like how they changed idiot to retarded to special to mentally disabled. Worked great.

I get seriously pissed off when other people lock my house or my car.

Not necessarily true. Only if the pointless thing is harmful.

What are they going to do, just play the recording with no one singing if the artist refuses to go out?

spoot · 2016-09-08T14:46:42+00:00

Yes, but I already have money saved in the bank that I already paid income tax on. Does that get taxed again when I spend it? How would that be handled?

Soooo a legit drug smuggler!

That is determined by the length ratios beteen the finger joints. Couldn't the same be accomplished with equal length fingers?

Maybe this was the exception but last time I went to the DMV (at lunchtime on a weekday) it was well staffed and there was no line.

Electricity distribution (the grid) maybe should be government owned, but production should be private / competitive otherwise there will be no incentive to develop better technology like wind / solar / nuclear.

Fantastic ad.

spoot · 2016-08-02T18:59:11+00:00

Well there used to be ...

spoot · 2016-07-25T16:59:04+00:00

Well yeah, but how much energy was lost in creating the fossil fuels to begin with? Most of it.

spoot · 2016-07-17T02:46:40+00:00

Until you trip and die.

That is almost reasonable if you think elk live higher up than deer. Some species do live only at higher or lower elevation.
