It’s the closest to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic they’ve ever been. But I’m sure they’ll outdo themselves tomorrow.

I didn’t think about that. Thanks for pointing it out.

Ah, really good points. Thanks for the perspective. My expertise (if I may do generously call it that) ends at the manufacture and assembly processes. Thanks for the perspective.

I mean you’re not wrong, but without separating the single motor to one at each wheel, you’d still have to translate the power from one point to each wheel. The uni bearing doesn’t provide that benefit. Separate motors DOES. And tuned and articulating short shafts are a new thing. So even without this new bearing as long as you had separate motors for each wheel all you would have is a short CV shaft between the motor and the wheel. Hell why not save all of the space and just incorporate the motor into the hub??? Since BDC motors are more efficient when wider and smaller, it would be very easy to fit them within current day hubs.

From a mechanical standpoint, the new bearing saves a nearly negligible amount of space. Splitting the motor up and moving it to the notoriously wasted wheel well space is what clears up the center of the frame. Still very cool. It’s basically a single output differential, which is already quite compact. No need to split the rotation for turning since the wheels rotation will no longer be mechanically linked.

I watched the video, but burying a good video under a trash article does not a good sauce make. OP should have just linked the fucking video.

Everyone seems to be missing the point so I’ll let Todd Howard remind you all, “We’re going to be doing a lot of add-on content for Starfield.”
$5 horse armor folks. That’s Bethesda. Stop paying them to make garbage, or at least stop complaining about it.
- Comment on FCC details plan to restore the net neutrality rules repealed by Ajit Pai 8 months ago:
You’re not wrong, but your distinction is meaningless since common carriers in the US are often regulated by the same governing rules and very often the same governing bodies as public utilities.

all the things that folks warned would happen without net neutrality hasn’t happened.
I don’t think that’s fair at all. Since we have never really had NN, then I would ask you to define what it is first. If you say that NN prevents ISPs from provisioning off websites in bundles then I would say, you’re not wrong but I massively dispute your definition of NN.
It is supposed to protect a free and open internet. I think I can safely state that. I think we can agree to that as a basis. And I can think of dozens of things that are going on right now that only serve to disarm and control users in order to strip-mine them of as much value as possible. If ISPs were utilities then you would have access to their financial reports, you could see their service reports, you would be able to know how they have and plan to allocate resources, and you would have at least transparency if not influence in decisions they choose to make that affect the cost of service. Imagine if they would have to apply for a tariff audit just to get approved to raise rates?
Are you truly arguing that this hypothetical alternate dimension is somehow imperceivably different than our own?

Mixing romance and work is a bad idea. I mean Veronica, just the other day, she asked me if bullets came in different sizes. Isn’t that the cutest thing you’ve ever heard?
The show formula is extremely predictable, to the point that it’s the guest victims job to foil Michael’s plan. Most of the time, this is foreshadowed by Mike asking them to not do the thing that they end up doing. It’s extremely annoying, but close to the end of the show, you get a few episodes of just Bruce being fucking amazing.
