I thought I’d be sticking with Subaru after how awesome my Impreza has been. Unfortunately the Soltera/BZ4X is a complete joke.

Instead I’m hoping that I can hold out long enough to actually get this thing.

I can’t check because I’m at work, but is that the Tom Scott video?

At least, I think I remember him doing a video on that thing, maybe it was just someone kind of like him.

Isnt train+bus just a streetcar?

I think this is about as likely as other conspiracy theories: not at all.

Yeah, I know, but hoping is more fun than not.

Conspiracy time:

What if it’s a duo / group and they intentionally got someone caught who will have a rock solid alibi after letting investigators waste days on him, but also getting other bits and pieces of message out the entire time?

Telo MT1. Hopefully I get mine sometime in 2026.

Prerty good, I just got to update my EV preorder with color choice and drivetrain options. The top trim level is at the price the initial announcement I pre-ordered at said! They added less expensive options instead of pulling shenanigans with the advetised price being the most basic base model possible with no range and all the incentives ever stacked on top.

Is water itself wet, or does water just make things wet?

It’s like playing Zomboid, but you don’t actually have to break into the house to put your clothes in the oven and turn it on.

they’re using the Wi-fi radiation to cook your meals

You’re thinking of microwaves.

Dear God…

For some crazy reason it took 3 days to perform a successful password change on my home WiFi network. Most of that time was spent trying to figure out why the hell Blink wouldn’t jump to the new network. Turns out Blink doesn’t like numbers in the SSID based on my fix.

Got a part change request from the mold maker that looked really simple until I remembered how I built the part in CAD. Thought it would take days to fix. Change one number in the very first feature in the tree, redefine the only plane that broke, and somehow it just works^TM. It was like 10 minutes worth of work. It will probably take me twice that time to show the product manager to get him to sign off on the visual change it causes. And I probably have 15 minutes of fixing drawings.

If someone like in there photo wanted to hold a sign saying “Mike Johnson wants me to use the women’s bathroom the same bathroom as your daughter”, it would cause waves.

Using their own tactics against them with that little change.

I have done nothing but ship plastic for 3 hours.

I am a design engineer.

On the other hand, the fact that I have that much shit ready to go out for safety testing is kind of satisfying.

Nah, it’s either a skill issue, or your tape measure isn’t nearly chonky enough.

The screen is required for the FMVSS standard mandating rear view cameras. The jump in part price from that to touch is less than the amount saved by not having to tool up all the knobs and buttons, paying someone to run wires for all of them, paying someone to assemble all of the fiddly bits, and paying someone to install them in addition to the cost of already installing the screen that would eliminate all the other cost if it were the only input.

But imagine how many homes that could power!
