It’s missing “idiotic” in the description, somewhere, though.

In Tesla’s case, its because they rushed to beat the competition. You’ll notice they were a “tech company” not a traditional car company. The actual car companies came out with mature, fully baked, offerings rather than trying to be the first.

c’mon, incidental explosions are what make life exciting!

Its really not even all that shocking a thing. Like. Seriously. Anyone whose paying attention can see that AIPAC has congress by the short and curlies.

This is why you carve before getting to the table. Or at least break it into parts.

I thought about making an intentional joke about being the “mallard reaction” and saying “isn’t that quackers” or something, and decided to not confuse people.

naturally. Best to slow it down and keep it juicy, too. I like smoking them at about 200 f, it’s perfection.

also… way to make spatchcocking sound even dirtier than it is. the no cooks here are probably thinking it’s some sort of sex act and the rest of us are wondering if it’s not also some sort of sex act.

Naw, that’s burnt.

Maillard reaction where things brown starts at 350f.

More than 165/175 in the center and that’s dried out.

apparently not. It’s fixed now.

tune your printer and do a temp calibration tower.

other things that will help with this is increasing extrusion width to 150% or so of the nozzle diameter. (this also improves the strength of your parts.)

that said benchy’s are horribly unstable and don’t float right. but they should float.

Edit: Also, for your nerdy enjoyment

naked and apparently lacking.

Dammit, now I can’t unsee that.

naw. that’s just a reallllly tiny finger.

Again, hanlon razor applies here, so I don’t think you are sponsored by the oil industry, but you repeat their taking points exactly.

While I don’t disagree with the sentiment… the reality is that used evs are a shitty option. What we need to be doing, that would benefit everyone, is building out mass transit, that run 24/7 and at reasonable frequencies.

Yes. Totally the talking points of Big Oil.

Totally.

You’re full of shit.

A quick search, and average EU driving is about 10k km/year.

Being generous here and not using the more-than-double American numbers, you can expect a typical decade-old ev to have lost about 20% of its range, and having had about 200km max range when it was out, for about 160km.

Fine for daily commute, sure. Not fine if the owner ever wants to visit another city, for oh so many reasons. Not like us poors have a life. Nope all we ever do is commute, work, and go home. That’s all life is….

Yeah.

So you’re kinda full of it aren’t you?

15yo ev’s driven normally are going going to be out of warranty, and probably pretty close to EoL, which was my point to start with.

Most used EVs on the market are approaching their end of life. And with batteries, range goes down before it’s technically EoL,

The mileage you dropped is just another way to say that.

So, ev’s age such that the EV’s die with the batteries. Most the EVs on the used market are teslas* or absolutely at their end of life, as far as value goes-most of the cost of an ev is in those batteries.

While I don’t disagree with the sentiment… the reality is that used evs are a shitty option. What we need to be doing, that would benefit everyone, is building out mass transit, that run 24/7 and at reasonable frequencies.

(*which there are oh-so-many reasons to not drive, including that Tesla will still be profiting from you, even if you get it used. Because they track the shit out of you driving to train their FSD.)

A woman with an idea who took funding from bezos.

Her choice.

My choice is to not have anything to do with bezos, as much as I humanly can. And that includes not buying products he will profit from.

My first car was a Toyota Tacoma. I miss that thing. The bed was low so you didn’t have to kill your back, too.

And for all those “I use it for my job” types, they’d have more use out of a freaking transit connect.

When SUVs became “family vehicles”, instead of the dick-compensation-machines, marketing said “ahah! Big trucks!” And now big trucks are the dick compensation machines.

He’s working on producing a “bare bones” ev pick up.

But hey, we should do the right thing, save the environment and buy his ev truck!
