    Raising Speed Limits Cost Lives

    Both the people who drive 5mph or more under the limit and 10mph or more over the limit are a problem. The biggest problems though, IMO, are 1) people who follow too closely and 2) people who don't let others merge. And I think they're related.

    Raising Speed Limits Cost Lives

    The cameras don't get blocked every time it snows. The latest cameras have heaters built in, along with water clearing tech (in heavy trucks, they are using compressed air to blow the water off the lens). And LIDAR/RADAR help mitigate the cameras' limitations. I am not all-in on autonomous...

    Raising Speed Limits Cost Lives

    Sounds like we need to increase the speed of farm machinery to 60mph. Problem solved. If a Suburban at 60mph is safer than a Camry at 60mph, then surely a combine at 60mph is the safest vehicle on the road.

    Cytown Update

    My employer just did a $30million office expansion. The dirt/foundation work took about a year. Then the building went in on top of that in about 12 months. From a slab to occupied office. This is a two story building for about 200 engineers (we have about 600 on site), a cafeteria with full...

    JJeff Injury Updates

    I'm sick of talking about his ankle. Tennessee must be destroyed.

    JJeff Injury Updates

    I think Toure is the key. If he plays well, then everything works whether we have JJeff or not. When Toure is not an offensive threat, we need JJeff to take over. Admittedly there were games JJeff tried to take over and he pressed too hard, leading to turnovers or bad possessions. But we still...

    With a KU, AZ and TT on tonight

    That's OK. I understand people rooting against KU, but I have a lot of respect for Arizona. Yes I know we've lost 3 to them, but two of those games were as competitive as can be, and I haven't seen their fan base be as obnoxiously arrogant as KU's. I feel the same way with Houston. If ISU can't...

    JJeff Injury Updates

    You said he's done at ISU, implying that even if ISU were to make the Finals he wouldn't be able to play. Or you just really think we have NO chance against Kentucky?

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    Never had a heated steering wheel, but I've come to appreciate the heated seats. It doesn't get that cold here but it's nice to take the chill off. Usually turn it on high in the morning just until I feel the warmth, then turn it to low or off. My car has ventilated seats too, but I haven't...

    Should we be worried

    I havent read the thread but the answer is unequivocally and resoundingly "Yes."

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    Sunroofs are overrated. Learned that with my first car that had one. They don't provide that "open air" experience IMO. My current car has one, and it's been a little leaky - not ideal in western WA. Seems to be fixed now heading into spring, but still. I bought the car in spite of the sunroof...

    This team is pissed off, hungry, and together

    There are more than 4 "final four quality" teams every year, yet only four actually make it. Takes a little luck too. Putting yourself in a Final Four Or Bust position is setting yourself up for disappointment. Just enjoy the ride, man! FWIW I agree this is our best chance at a Final Four since...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    One of his charts is total warranty as a percent of revenue, which kind of gets at a per vehicle metric. Accrual as a percent of revenue does too. Warranty accrual is how much money they put in the bank when a vehicle is sold, which they then draw down in the future to pay the actual warranty...

    This is the best I can find. This guy compiles and tracks the warranty data that is required to be reported by the SEC every quarter/year. Every industry. It's just financial data so no details on what breaks, but the trends can be informative. All auto OEMs...
