- Comment on Elon Musk says his posts did more to ‘financially impair’ X than help it 8 months ago:
Just amazing that he actually came out and said that.
- Comment on Canoo spent double its annual revenue on the CEO’s private jet in 2023 8 months ago:
They’re a startup that doesn’t yet have a vehicle in full scale production, so any expense will look big in relation to their revenue.
Having said that, a mil and a half for jet rental is pretty bad.

This is a commuter train, they’re not running all day. You have plenty of time overnight and between rush hour peaks to charge your train.
- Comment on Swiss hydrogen-powered train sets 1741-mile record for nonstop travel 8 months ago:
Explain to me why it couldn’t.
- Comment on Swiss hydrogen-powered train sets 1741-mile record for nonstop travel 8 months ago:
Easy to say when you’re not paying for it.
- Comment on Swiss hydrogen-powered train sets 1741-mile record for nonstop travel 8 months ago:
Some locomotives alone weigh hundreds of tonnes, while weight is an issue, it’s less of an issue than most applications.
- Comment on Swiss hydrogen-powered train sets 1741-mile record for nonstop travel 8 months ago:
Can you now? How much does hydrogen in industrial quantities cost? Because, believe me, I’ve tried to find this information.
I can tell you the pump price in California though.
- Comment on Swiss hydrogen-powered train sets 1741-mile record for nonstop travel 8 months ago:
A hydrogen car is basically an electric car that is more expensive to run than an ICE vehicle, they’re an utterly moronic idea.
And there are actually EVs with more range than a hydrogen car, with far more options to charge.
- Comment on Swiss hydrogen-powered train sets 1741-mile record for nonstop travel 8 months ago:
They don’t work in construction?
There are applications for hydrogen vehicles, but commuter trains aren’t one of them, especially since weight isn’t really much of an issue, so we can just keep adding batteries to get whatever range we need.

That’s exactly what New Zealand is doing with battery electric trains, the plan is for them to run on batteries once they get beyond the overhead line network, to service areas where it’s not worthwhile to have overhead lines.
Not with hydrogen trains though, that’s a dead end technology.
- Comment on Swiss hydrogen-powered train sets 1741-mile record for nonstop travel 8 months ago:
OK buddy.
- Comment on Swiss hydrogen-powered train sets 1741-mile record for nonstop travel 8 months ago:
That ship has, for the most part, sailed though.
- Comment on Swiss hydrogen-powered train sets 1741-mile record for nonstop travel 8 months ago:
Overhead lines are almost as expensive as laying the track in the first place though.

- Comment on Swiss hydrogen-powered train sets 1741-mile record for nonstop travel 8 months ago:
Yeah, but it’s attached to other molecules, and it’s really hard to separate the stuff.
Hydrogen is a really shitty and inefficient battery, it would be cheaper, easier, and more efficient to just put batteries on the train.
- Comment on Swiss hydrogen-powered train sets 1741-mile record for nonstop travel 8 months ago:
These stories almost never mention fuel used, or fuel cost, in case someone does the math and figures out just how expensive these vehicles are to run.

- Comment on Tourists write-off uninsured rental BMW 4WD in river crossing gone horribly wrong in Iceland 1 year ago:
No, it isn’t. The Toyota Land Cruiser and Land Rover Defender series of vehicles are permanent four wheel drive, and are advertised as four wheel drive.

Do we really need to bring mindlessly parroting catchphrases over to here? Say something worthwhile.

All war is crime.
You’re an idiot.
- Comment on What happens of you use the gas from the exhaust pipe to inflate a tire? 1 year ago:
You’d need to either already have the tractor on fire, or somehow have an ignition source for this to happen, but you’ve essentially made a pipe bomb.
- Comment on What happens of you use the gas from the exhaust pipe to inflate a tire? 1 year ago:
Much lower tyre pressure than almost any other vehicle, I’d imagine.
- Comment on What happens of you use the gas from the exhaust pipe to inflate a tire? 1 year ago:
Much lower pressure, of course.
- Comment on What happens of you use the gas from the exhaust pipe to inflate a tire? 1 year ago:
That’s a bomb you’re inflating at that point.
- Comment on Air: Where did that bring you? Back to me. 1 year ago:
Unless you’re in a boat, in which case you’re likely using a water to water heat exchanger.
- Comment on Air: Where did that bring you? Back to me. 1 year ago:
You can use oil or other non conductive fluids instead.

Sorry, but there’s nothing academic about realizing you’ve lost all visibility.
