Maryland bill would force gun owners to get $300K liability insurance to wear or carry
  • Works out well for the offender, but not so much for the offended. If you have no insurance and insufficient assets, where does the rest come from to make the victim whole?

    Broadcom to divest VMware’s EUC and Carbon Black units
  • If you're not f500, fuck you is the memo. Broadcom ruins what it touches and charges more for the experience. Rip Vmware and esxi users.

    Trying to be difficult
  • Is measuring out 2 items easier than measuring out 10?

    It's useful, but not as good as scratch-made... especially the "just add water" varieties. But quick.

    Toyota to offer manual gearbox in next-generation electric cars
  • This stuff trickles down. AC, auto headlights and windows, touchscreens, information centers, etc were all luxury options for luxury cars....

    The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier.
  • I'm not sure what parent is after exactly.

    Body in frame is an older way of making cars but it's far easier/cheaper to make thos heavy duty and modular (e.g. an f250 can be a pickup, tow truck, ambulance, dump truck...)

    Unibody is more modern.

    Most people can live with a unibody truck (Maverick,Ridgeline,Colorado).

    I don't thing there's causation between unibody and body on frame as far as fuel consumption is concerned.

    We'd need a mechanism that incentives smaller vehicles without impacting the services relying on the heavy duty vehicles...

    A Maverick starting at like $24k and an f150 at $35k isn't enough...

  • Trucks like the Ford Raptor and "super duty" pickup variants (f250+/GM&Ram2500+) have extra lighting due to their width... So you can use that as an indicator. There is a limit to width.

    Now the number of people capable of parking these things.....

    Military Time vs 24hr?
  • It may be rare to find someone who uses it in regular conversation, but medical, logistics, IT, and military commonly used it... Everyone likely knows a few people that use it.

    Military Time vs 24hr?
  • Which is a few countries south of the US and connected to NA by a nearly impassible forest and no roads.... Might as well be another ocean.
