The LLV is all chunky aluminum panels, chunky switches, overbuilt engine, beefy drivetrain (especially when it only needs to handle 90hp), etc. They’re far from efficient or well packaged but they’re basically indestructible and if something does break it’s a piece of cake to swap it out.

The Canoo is pretty much the opposite. It makes way better use of materials and packaging but as a result it’s not overbuilt to the same degree. It’s almost certainly designed around being a passenger car which only need to survive ~100k miles before things are allowed to start falling apart. With everything being so tightly integrated you can’t be as granular in replacing components. Whole assemblies/modules will need to be replaced in one expensive swoop.

I’m really curious what the longevity of these things will be. There’s fewer moving parts and regenerative braking to help with the mechanical side of things but electrochemically there’s way more going on. I hope they work out but even if they don’t Canoo should get some really good real world test info they can use to learn and improve.

• Start car
• Connect up bluetooth for tunes
• Wait for startup high-idle to finish warming the cats or whatever
• Drive

He broke records for youngest WDC, pole sitter, podium, race winner, etc. I fully expect he’s going to set records for oldest.

The dead silence when the Fallout title came on screen is pretty telling. Everyone was rolling through the possibilities in their heads about just how mediocre, unimaginative, and unmemorable this will be after it doesn’t get renewed for a second season.

Crazy that nearly every culture on earth has a name for it that’s somehow related to animals getting married.

Wonder if they all stem from the same ancient folk tail or if it’s just somehow convergence.

Tangentially: Microsoft Teams and SharePoint web infuriate me daily. All the functions that should be separate programs are rolled up into one inseparable window forcing you into a single task workflow.

Want to have two folders open at once that you can drag between? Want to copy a file to your desktop? Read a message from a colleague while looking at a planner item? Pretty much any basic task that Windows 95 can handle with ease? You’re screwed.

These are all things that should be separate programs handled by the OS and a samba share. The MS Office ecosystem has regressed massively over just a few short years thanks to teams.

There’s a station I use regularly that has to have some sort of commercial plan. I regularly see cop cars, UPS trucks, and one time a yellow cab filling up there.

With PCIe you can actually jam a 16x card into a 1x slot if you saw the back of the slot off. I’m guilty. It works fine but just runs at 1x speed.

Would have been great to see some more Chappelle Show back in the day. Nearly every episode is quality, quotable material. Shame it abruptly ended after the whole contract void thing.
