I’m out of practice with my physics so apologies if this is a n00b question, but:

I’m unclear what (rho V) is and how you converted to that from mass (m). Further unclear what (rho A d) refers to.

Can you explain / link to an explainer on this?

Maybe shouldn’t be trying to save people clicks, but I would have appreciated this in a top comment.

Yeah, it (in my case, ChatGPT) has been great for helping me along with functions I’m only passingly familiar with / trying to use in new ways.

One that I was really surprised with was that it gave me a surprisingly robust, sensible, and (seemingly) well tuned-to-my-case check list of things to inspect for a used car I intend to buy. I’m already mostly familiar with what I’m doing there, but it pointed to some things I might’ve overlooked / didn’t know were points of concern for the specific vehicle I’m looking at.

Maybe I’m just a newb, but it still looks like PNG is the goto to ensure lossless image storage.

Everything else on that list that is “better” does/can do lossy compression. I’m not sure how to force apps to use lossless compression, so to me, all those lossy-capable formats are a drawback.

Thanks for the heads up.

Saw it wasn’t on F-Droid and was going to ask for source page (to get through Obtanium), but looks like they’re allergic to android and derivates. Appreciate you pointing to references.

Yeah and at least they’re creator had a cool story.

Me too. That’s comparable to my dad’s old 4 cylinder Toyota Pickup (mid-80’s, so similar era). Smaller engine and wayyyy less power so I would’ve expected the pickup to get worse than the Delorean.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I’d love to take that as a project vehicle.

Batteries for home setup (on TOU plan, so it’d be nice to charge when rates are low and discharge when high).
Then slap an combustion engine in there that just acts as a power plant for the electric motors. It’d probably be biting off more than I can chew, but it sounds like a hell of a learning opportunity and tickles my engineering/tinker brain’s fancy.

Of course, after blowing something up, I’d probably focus on dissecting the drive train and using them motors for something else. I’m suddenly curious what the suspension set up is like. If they’ve got some crazy high tech mag-ride system, I’ll bet that could be repurposed for another vehicle (pending Tesla proprietary protocols for connecting to ECU).

But now I’m rambling. The thoughts of what I could do with those parts though.

Ninjaedit: just took a look as some of the pondering above. I forgot how silly the interiors look, so def wouldn’t bother with attempting it as a project car.

Naw fam, gotta get that GPS in braille form

I don’t think I get what you mean when you say “Walled Garden” in this context. Can you elaborate?

Interesting. Ugh, I feel the need to go peek at it now, but I also expect to really not like it. Oh well, here goes.

Yeah, I’m not a fan of the microblog format, but I’m pretty sure everyone here is going to agree that Mastodon is the superior Twitter replacement.

Oh no, now we have to ban them all?? What a shame!

Can you pass a link?

I can’t tell if this is real life or sarcasm…

Did I really miss the memo on this one?

Neat. I didn’t know any services like this existed.

Should I be wary of using this while logged in to my Microsoft account?

Not in the slightest. I feel the same way.

This is how I feel every time I see an overpowered “prototype” weapon in a video game that works better than the standard version.

Or pro numbers, depending on how you look at it.

So other commenters have opinions that I think are rational, but the part that I think is key that they’re missing: Tenant Unions.

I have some (in my opinion) tyrannical yet lazy land lords/property managers at my current apt, and have attempted to form a tenant union. Apparently no one agrees with my level of disgust at our treatment, so I’ve kind of wiffed at the effort.

Which is to say that it takes real work, but it can be done and there are resources for you, but that’s the first step: don’t go alone.
