Short answer (not an engineer): It has to do with the power curve and how an electric motor VS gasoline engine produce torque differently. A gasoline engine has low torque at low RPM, so it needs various sizes of gears to convert that low torque to the wheels though various speeds. An electric...

Yea, the combat is serviceable, but not that good. I should have probably turned it up to the hardest difficulty, for more of a challenge (but then the camera control and bad AI would just stick out more). On the second hardest difficulty, almost all the abilities are lack luster, especially...

Weird, since I got zeroed out twice at the start of the game, I just ended up spending everything at the end of every act (I had a~10 purple unspent points on the first character that just went poof). So maybe they changed/fixed it since then. I started playing at release, but took a break...

AFAIK, there is no carry over between characters, for unspent orange points (and purple, for anyone else reading). I thought I noticed, early-ish, on the second character (but too late to revert to a save) that everything was zeroed out. So, made a save before then end of act 2, with unspent...

If your paint is in a good shape you can clay bar (and use Dr. Colorchip on chips) before the ceramic coat and be gtg. At least, if you aren't going for showroom quality (you can always find something more to do, and spend extra cash in pursuit of this). The new clay bar replacement (mits or...

It took you 2 hours to find the studs?!? Git gud son...

For a hunting/fishing property, it sounds pretty good. You can build two small tie-offs/docks, and a small shed on the road side (to secure a boat) to ferry over supplies on a jon boat. For a property to live on, with modern amenities, I'm kinda leaning toward @Borzak's assessment; it sounds...

I don't have much experience using a wide selection of these products, so most of this is relaying what I have read. The TLDR is at the bottom. For a good polish/sealant you will pay the same, or slightly more than a good wax; only it should last much longer before you start noticing a loss of...

Well, I guess if you enjoy the process, it may be worth it. I went hood surfing a few times, as a teenager, but it wasn't really my thing.

Wax? People still use wax? While it looks nice, it is way too labor intensive and last less than 3 months on a daily driver. The sealants are a much better product. There are even some DIY ceramic coats that, purportedly, last up to 2 years for a decent price. Although a ceramic coating is more...

Wrong, this would be more American redneck/Whisky Tango shit. Ghetto black shit use a different Dodge, called a Charger, with huge wheels and ludicrous rims. While the truck isn't something I would buy, it's not bad looking (apart from the under lights) and I would certainly rather drive that...

Think this is the list that was linked in a different SW thread, which I followed on last rewatch (skipping all droid episode, since they are the most kiddy of the bunch): https://collider.com/star-wars-the-clone-wars-chronological-order-list/

You could try Autotrader and Edmonds new vehicle search, which searches various dealers in an area. Dealers have to pay to advertise there, so it may not be an exhaustive search, but 90% of them probably have an account with Autotrader, at least. You could then plan your flight from Japan to...

Maybe Scientology offers a gay zealot harem once you reach Operating Thetan level. Zealots wont go around blabbing about their demigods.

Unfortunately, this sounds like the current market for all but the most unpopular of cars, in the US market. You could buy one in Japan and import it for "not terrible" prices...maybe...too bad Japan drives on the wrong side of the road. Some years ago I looked at importing a car to Australia...

If you are looking at new, due to market conditions, you may want to test drive the Lexus UX/NX/RX as well. They all have a hybrid option, AWD option, and may be more comfortable than the Rav4 or CRV. Prices are higher (start at $36k), but they should have less road noise, along with other...

If you can get a bike rack for most anything, like Hateyou linked, then you can make due with most any vehicle you fancy. This might be the worst time in our lifetimes to be buying a car, so the limiting factor is what is available in your area (or are willing to go get/ship to you) for a...

Parents have had Verizon FIOS for over a decade as well and it was hooked up just like Malakriss. Fiber from the street to the box outside (that housed the ONT), then coax to a Version router. Coax was capped in terms of speed it allowed, so when speeds got upgraded, some years ago, they had to...

Different angle and aftermath.

Finally got to mid-game on a huge map, on the slowest research setting. Started hitting a crash every 1 to 2 hours, even with the 2 updates, so I'm not sure I will continue. It's still difficult to tell, outside of graphics and UI, what is different from the first game. The fist game, with the...

Sound on:

Oh, opinions on LTE modems, individually. I would also be interested in that, if anyone here has any experience. It could be a backup or stopgap for sitting in the Starlink wait list, now that Elon has sent all production to Ukraine. I wouldn't have thought many people, if any, here are using...

Well, if you are at 10 gigabit already, it may be worth the price. You can get a fiber PCI network card and a fiber switch and be ready for getting anything over 10 Gbit. I would guess that you would eventually need to eliminate all cat 6a+ in the system, which means a router that can take fiber...

Was just about to run a fiber line out to an outbuilding and after looking at the costs, decided wireless microwave point to point was cheaper. I had to price in an outside rated cable and the conduit though. The cheapest I could find for a run (before I realized I needed cable that can get...

No idea on wood "matching" different species, but how many lumber yards did you check prices on (if you have more than 1 or 2 in your area)? This place in DFW (South Ft. Worth), that lists their prices, has economy grade (2 com) white oak in both 4/4 and 8/4 for less than $5 per bf. So, if you...

Those look pretty good and I would take a chance on them if I needed another boonie. A good quality one will last a long time. The Italian ones are going strong after ~10 years, and I still wear my old 20+ year old camo one, regularly. Also, the Italian ones went up in price, so they are kinda...

It took some digging to find a good quality boonie, outside of getting a friend to buy one from the Marine PX (the mil hats are much better quality than the china shit that is found most places). I didn't really want a MARPAT hat though, so I kept looking. Eventually found a quality boonie...

Listening to old Irish songs with modern recording methods makes it sound super serious and a bit strange! Most of the old stuff sounds more fighty/rowdy. That song found a resurgence after English comedian Stephen Coogan (as his character Alan Partridge) sung this on BBC One, in 2019, during...

Ah, my bad. I didn't actually launch the game and look. After doing that, just now, I have 8 and I guess there were no more left to find, in the areas I didn't get to. Using the annoying scrolling through spell slots UI, to select a spell, makes it feeeeeal like you have 14+ spells loaded up...

There are probably more than 20 memory stones, spread out all over the place. I already had 10+ by the time I made it to the big city. Never explored the last 2 or 3 zones after it, nor half of the city, so probably missed a few, here and there.

Yea, shit is a little ridiculous. Last week I was pricing out a fiber run to a remote location, ~140 foot away, and the conduit (1" was smallest recommended) alone was over $200. So might as well do a wireless microwave solution for the same total price (when including the outside rated fiber).

D&D killed almost all interest in ASOIAF for me and I'm not sure if Winds would really change that, or not. As for his new Corlys show, all of the TV shows that Bruno Heller is the main writer/producer on are rated 7.9 or 8.7 on IMDB (The Mentalist, Gotham, Pennyworth, Rome), so I guess that's...

Played for a few hours last night and it feels like they stuck to the same formula as the first game. Although, it has been so long since playing the first, that I'm not sure what all is different. My memory of the old game is also overshadowed by so many hours of playing Stellaris (with mods)...

This game has locked out areas too. I got to the front door of the capitol city and there was a door that said I needed to have two runes to progress. So I went and killed Radahn. Then I ran through the city toward the snow mountain area and there is an actual invisible wall, at the top of the...

Is Big Trouble in Little China really an absurd action movie or does such a masterpiece transcend labels? I loved the Van Damme movies as a kid, but none of them hold up today like Big Trouble, Demolition Man, or even Commando.

For anyone that hasn't seen it, Rebels was good, but here is the dumbest part; the helicopter Inquisitor reference (some spoilers, original sound removed, just to showcase the flying idiocracy):
