Blending brake with regen is normal to avoid rust to develop on the rotor but I haven’t seen any EV that don’t prioritize regen over normal braking.

I lived for some time in eastern Canada and I have very fond memories of freshly picked McIntoshes and I even dare to say they were my favorites. Fresh and crisp with a good amount of acidity that balances the sweetness beautifully. That be

I think you might underestimate how much this is an important factor in the strength of the US economy.

Why go for a quick 5 min call when an email thread that will need you to context switch 10 times will do? That being said there is a lot of meeting which should be replaced by a email and vice-versa. Also, When there is something you don’t

And this is wrong. If you build proper mixed housing/commercial with local markets, bakery, park, coffee, restaurants, etc. You will end up reducing car use to what they are best for. But for this paradigm to exist, you need density. I

And if you live in a mountainous area, bike weight do make a big difference, up to a point. :)

Maybe it's just me getting old but... as a scientist I love technical reviews however I care more and more about feeling that real world performance. If a tire feel fast, it's what I will go for. My favorite road bike is my 12yo C

Everyone seems to be an expert on what to do in this situation. I would argue that it's not as trivial as it seems. Yes the waymo cars seems to be on the wrong side of the road for far too long but when surrounded with erratic uniwheel

You need a healthy turnover for community to sustain itself. You can't be too biased towards locals because you will end up with a stagnating community with a whole lot more problems with your schools/hospitals/insfrastructur

2-acre lot in a walkable neighborhood? How on earth are you expecting to sustain commerces, schools and or anything with a density of 250 house/km2. Your dream hawaian neighborhood is another ridiculous american suburb where only a few

When did we become a bunch of wuss. 1 mile is 20 min and even below freezing temp is really enjoyable, good for your body and mental health.

You do you but don't complain if you end up having a harder time during economic downturn. Everything in life is about risk-reward and going the extra mile is about tipping the scale in your favor. To be fair, don't think op advoc

I think you are missing the point. Yes I am currently living in Europe and yes almost every family own a car.The difference is when, how frequently its used and also the fact that you have alternatives. These article are idealiziling a car

Absolutely! And they are usually very walkable and bike-able. I know because I happen to live in one of these mountainous area.

I agree with all of what you said until you started suggesting NyQuil instead. We don't have good data for long term effect of using antihistamine. Alcohol, in small quantity is not good but it's also not that bad especially in ot

I think you are mixing units here (km2 vs square mile). According to wikipedia NY density is 11313/km2 which would ranked 18th city in Europe. SF would be 29th with 7194/km2. I would argue that NY public transit is absolutely doin

A Camaro is not a small 2 seater by any means, it’s a rather big muscle car. If you want to experience what a small 2 seater feels like, try a Miata or a Cayman. Those 2 have outstanding visibility. Many sports car have bad visibility due t

Davis is one of the only examples i could think of. I do know some folks in MTV who are lucky enough so they walk their children to school but unless you live a few blocks away and you don’t have to cross a 2-3 lanes stroad on the way, it i

I am interested about your experience since mine is quite different. In the last 10 years I have lived in Vancouver, Montreal, Pittsburgh, Sunnyvale, Saratoga and now in Spain. I was also choosing “walkable” neighborhoods and in my experien

No, it’s PNW (think Seattle), mild and rainy(drizzly) winter; dry, sunny and very confortable summer.

I used to cook almost exclusively with cast iron but lately I bought a set of heavy carbon steel skillet, they are now my favorites. They have a very similar heat retention as CI but are a bit lighter and that make them a real charm to work

The same statement in different contexts are interterpreted differently. Saying COVID came from China is not an problem but using the term "China virus" as a way to promote racism is problematic. Same is true about the possible la

Mostly because passenger have absolutely no way to understand airline pricing. The exact same seat can change price 2x in 24h. With that in mind, it’s almost impossible to know if you are getting more for your money or if you are seeing a p

Same here. Sometime it was working nicely, sometime not. I came to the conclusion that I was not sharpening often enough (maybe 1x/month) to be able to hone my skill properly and get the muscle required muscle memory. I finally got one

That and also most people want the biggest battery for road trip and stuffs but fail to realize that the bigger battery only help you on the first leg of the trip as once you need to stop, you are limited by charging speed and not the batte

I think we also have to force chargers to accept simple means of payment like a credit card. Imagine how ridiculous it would be it we had to create an account for every single gas station network. This would also take care of when you are o

It's not because A ==> B that B ==> A. A Ponzi scheme is a fraud but a frauds doesn't necessarily imply a Ponzi scheme. That's is not just semantic, it's a logic falacy.

This is basically how Canada carbon tax is supposed to work and it's far from being unanimous even if most will end up paying less.

Are you referring to Theresa Ribiera(Spainish Minister) incident? Stop getting your news from tabloids. Records showed she was driven to the event. While being on a bike and followed by 2 SUV full of bodyguard seems ridiculous, there are so
