I don't see why they couldn't run the thrusters off local motors, though. I mean, if there's a will, there's a way. That said it's obvious why they are doing it in the era of electric motors that put out huge amounts of torque (and from rest). It's certainly much more practical and...

There's nothing really stopping you from doing this with an ICE motor. It would be more complex, however.

Sorry, no. I watched a documentary about Roman times not long ago, released in 2021 IIRC and they talked about how the exact chemical components that made Roman concrete are still not fully understood. It's lasted many centuries now, some of it even in ruins of an old bathhouse, partially...

Personally, I use a solar panel and light multiple lights around my pool and rear yard with battery storage. Until the batteries die, they're quite pleasant and zero-maintenance. Are they carbon-neutral, though? Not a chance... made from plastic and whatever makes up the batteries... and...

It's torturous to see you tie yourself in knots to lie to yourself about this, much less us. Let's just dissect what the first person said: You could get a yellow card if you do not identify as a man, if you're a person of color, or a if you're a member of the LGBTQ2S+ community. So, if you...

The Mayans had aquaducts and nobody even today can figure out how Roman concrete is so good. But like the Middle East, what they did not have was a global empire that changed the entire world. Global Empire. Global. That's why those two empires over 2500 years not only had their own...

That's not a problem, it's just a fact. The Roman Empire followed by the British Empire built everything we consider to be modern. That they used innovations from other parts of the world and from other races is only tertiary to the overall. So, I don't feel that the public detestation of...

In this video? No. At the conference? Yes. NDP policy convention in Hamilton devolves into SJW gong show Take a look at 5:30 when a male member tries to use the yellow card - listen to what she says. Just for added fun, note that she then says that a male that is not presenting as a man...

What exactly do you think "enforce gender parity at the mics" means, Tim? Not that this was the only video I've seen, others had the actual lineup for the mic where people were yellow-carding male speakers. Edit: Youtube has done what Youtube does, they've scoured the site of just about...

If that's problematical for you Brian, then so is reality in general. Honestly, I thought better of you. I even posted one of the news sources for it (guess what, most of them were foreign, not Canadian... I wonder why?) If you really want to do a deep dive on it, there's video of the...

You're right but it's really more about how the electric motors can generate ALL their torque at 1 RPM. Same (or part of) the reason that the big cruise ships use a similar setup. The other thing as GreyGhost has pointed out, you can regenerate power during braking with minimal wear using...

And off we go picking nits again. Disregard the force behind 2500 years of overall progress and focus on the individual, claiming individual steps are what we should consider. You must be the guy who looks at a quad-turbocharged, 16-cylinder Bugatti and comments on how the cheap VW-sourced...

Off-topic really, but that's the thing about Rome ... it never disappeared, its governance fell and left the historical world in a condition that took a long time to recover from. Most because its corrupt government spent recklessly, expanded greedily and had too much reliance on cheap (and...

Clean, clear and unambiguously right.

Except it wasn't a ridiculous blanket statement. It was a statement of fact. Uncontrovertible fact, actually. There was a time that the sun didn't set on the British empire and the same was true of the Roman empire in its day. These are facts. Both of those civilizations brought tremendous...

I didn't say it was good cooling, but it does work better than nothing. This is what a low-cost EV is like, folks. It's not here for a good time OR a long time, but it will do the job if you're a city driver. Forget any kind of trip in it, I wouldn't even be able to round trip to mom's...

Missed this at first. This is exactly why the banks are so tough for me to deal with. My buildings are owned by a (one of my) corporation. Multiple, multi-million dollar buildings although their worth outranks their mortgage stake by more than 5:1 it doesn't matter. They're right pricks...

Bad choice of example... the original Leaf had battery packs with no heating or cooling ability. So they cooked themselves in summer and had huge heat cycles in cooler weather. The batteries also did not last and were nearly as expensive as replacing the car with a new one. The modern Leaf...

Ah yes, the cherrypicking exercise has begun. Let's just throw away the majority of history for the sake of arguing on the Internet with petty little gotchas.

Apparently the Super Duke will continue to be made in Austria. Any of the top line bikes apparently will be.
