People don't mine anymore, but large-scale industrial centers do: https://maps.app.goo.gl/LfQPYadBmFBU6quNA This is the Whinstone Mining Farm in Rockdale, Texas. Notice what's directly next to it? A GIANT electrical substation. That's because it uses upward of 750 MW/year in electricity. To...

Know how I know you didn't read the article? There is literally a section in the article titled "Home prices aren't up everywhere" and talks about Central Texas (Austin) as being one of those locations. You wrote an entire paragraph supporting exactly what the article stated, then questioned...

As someone said in the Ozzy thread here on BITOG:

The GM part number on that filter (25010324) was superseded back in 1998.

Yes, it is called Regulated Voltage Control. This is a GM Techlink article from a while back about it: https://www.centerlearning.com/tmswebtree/techlink/images/issues/sep04/TL_Sept04.pdf It has gotten a bit more sophisticated since this article. Previous iterations (like described in the...

Initial quality isn't long term dependability (or any real measure of dependability). IQS seeks to find "problems" in the first 90 days of ownership. Is a repair visit a problem? Yeah, of course it is, and it's counted in the IQS data. The layout of switches and buttons is also considered a...

I daily a 2024 Silverado 2500 w/ 6.6L gas and tow an 8,800 lb. travel trailer through the summer. For towing, it's not even a contest. Towing with my previous 1500 (2020 Silverado) was like framing a house with a hammer and moving to the 2500 was like getting a framing nailer. Can you frame an...

Big winner: The API. They bought themselves a win. Big losers: Voters (this means you). Your voice, as spoken through your elected representative, is weaker because of this. This was passed using the Congressional Review Act, which is a statute that allows the Senate to nullify rules issued by...

I prefer my meat the old-fashioned way: Factory-farmed and pumped full of growth hormones and antibiotics! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Now add in merch sales, hosting live events at a race track he owns, hosting live events at racetracks he doesn't own, and a fully in-house streaming service for these events that runs $20/month or $120/year...

An EV startup based in Troy, with auto industry veterans running the show and big money backing, building a no-frills vehicles in Indiana? Man does this story sound familiar. Oh, yeah, now I remember! Electric Last Mile Solutions! They were an EV startup based in Troy, just a few miles from...

Truly a testament that you're only as good as your last season: Checo wheeled the RB18 and RB19 really well. Missed second in the driver to Leclerc by 3 points in 2022 and handling outscored Hamilton for the #2 spot in 2023. More importantly than outright performance, he was consistently able...

If you think Crofty is too excitable and shouty, you should go over to F1TV and give Alex Jacques a try

What's the over/under on how many races it takes RB to replace Lawson?
