A two-tonne gas-powered SUV that in practice doesn't even get 30mpg should not be praised as "quite efficient." We urgently need to do a lot better than this.

Anyone looking for alternate explanations needs to explain why pedestrian deaths in the US have been rising for years, while they have been decreasing in most other developed nations over the same time period. And then note that cell phones are common everywhere, but oversized trucks and SUV...

Umm, is it 2403 lbs (1090 kg), or is it 937 kg (2066 lbs)? It can’t be both!

I have a class-one bike (mine has a 250W mid-drive motor with a torque sensor). The drivetrain has no noticeable drag, so it is trivial to go well over 32 km/h, especially downhill. I can easily do 40 km/h (25 mph) just coasting downhill, with zero pedal or motor power. When I hit the limit...

They are currently offering the optional kickstand and mudguards for free. (You can see them in the photo in this article.) Regular price for the kickstand is $49, and they'll also sell you a $69 rear rack: https://us.tenways.com/collections/tenways-accessories Sure, making these accessories...

For anyone worried about ecological consequences of eradication, please note that Aedes aegypti mosquitos are not a native part of the ecosystem anywhere in the Americas. They are an invasive species, brought here by humans. Eradicating them would be a step toward restoring the natural ecosystem.

On of your image captions says that “the ebii's battery, motor, and other components are all stored in this chunky central box,” but the motor is actually in the front wheel’s hub.

The Insurance Information Institute says Hurricane Ian has caused more damages than any US storm except for Hurricane Katrina, with $60 billion in property loss in Florida alone.

The death toll in Florida and North Carolina is up to 77 now and likely to rise further since search and rescue efforts are still underway.

The Toyota bZ4X / Subaru Solterra is coming later this year and is positioned as a (relatively) compact/affordable electric crossover with light off-road capability.

It looks like the two pictures of the internals are swapped. The first one shows a 53Wh battery (but the caption says 99), while the second one shows a 99Wh battery (but the caption says 56). [EDIT: This is fixed now.]

Finding SARS-CoV-2 in 6% of the sampled deer population may be low compared to the US, but it still feels like a pretty high number. If that’s representative of the wild deer population in a large area of Canada, that would represent a whole lot of infected deer out there.

There seems to be some early evidence that the third shot doesn't just reset immunity back to where it was after two shots, but actually provides a stronger and possibly longer-lasting immune response than the first two shots. Too early to say for certain, though. Dr Jeffrey Duchin (infectious...

That should read “7.2 kW generator” (not “kWh”).

Minor nit-picking: “Mario + Rabbids” is turn-based strategy, not RTS (real-time strategy). Oops! Moonshark fix. Moonshark not great at video games because Moonshark flippers cannot hold controller good.

Here's the post from Rick Byers on the blink-dev list, which includes details of past and proposed technical improvements to the spec: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.or ... a1a_CEACMJ

People interested in this might want to look at the baritone ukulele too. The baritone is much larger than a standard ukulele, more like a half-scale guitar. It has four strings tuned DGBE (so just like the Loog, it's basically a standard guitar with some of the strings missing). It usually...

Yes, just to be clear, Firefox *already* supports H.264 decoding using the underlying device/OS decoders on most desktop platforms and all mobile platforms where it runs (including Firefox OS phones like the ZTE Open). Decoding H.264 on Linux with GStreamer will be enabled by default soon...
