And Finnlandic

There was a video he did on a startup taxi service using self driving cars. Basically the entire thing was an advertisement for that company.
Then another Youtuber, Tom Nicholas, released a video about that a few months later and how it’s an issue. I’ll have to watch it again as I don’t remember what he specifically talks about.

You should. I’ve sunk over 200 hours into it. And those are rookie numbers.
Just know that it’s buggy, even with the stability mods. RTGame’s experience with the crashes in his playthrough is pretty on point.

On top of that, the odometer only went to 99,999 before resetting. Implying they didn’t intend the vehicles to last much longer than 100k miles.

The graph is showing horsepower (green lines) and torque (blue lines) over the engine’s rpm range. The solid lines are the stock run while the dashed are the tuned run. I wasn’t expecting huge gains. And most car people I talked to said not to expect much; one friend thought I wouldn’t get more than 10 horsepower. So the gains I got were actually better than I expected. But not by much.

The main reason I did this was because I couldn’t find any data on tuning this engine. Ford put these engines in a lot of cars (Taurus, F-150, Explorer, Flex, Edge, and all the Lincoln vehicles), so there are a lot of them out on the road.
And I know I’m not the only person who’s thought of tuning this engine. So I figured I’d take one for the team, tune mine, then share it with the world so other people can decide if this is right for them.

Pretty much. You can only do so much with a naturally aspirated engine. So if you want big gains from a tune, get a turbo’d engine.
I could turbo it, but I don’t want to drop that much money on it at one time. Plus I’d have to replace the transmission because Ford only rated the 6F50 for 300 hp and 280 lb-ft.
So that’d be another couple grand on top of the couple grand for the turbo.
That’s just way more than what I can afford.

As for mileage, 2-3 mpg actually feels about right. The computer is saying higher mileage than stock, but it’s not a huge gain. I need to do more driving before I can say just how much better it is.

It’s a 2015 model. So it’s far from new at this point. But it still has much less than 100k miles, so it still has a good bit of life left in it.

If I could go back, I’d probably do exactly the same as I did.
I actually plan on going back because I have a couple more things I want to do (ported intake manifolds, high flow air intake, a new exhaust as mine is getting rusty), but I’ll be adding those periodically. I want to see what each part does to the tune.

That’s what I remember reading, too. I think that particular area gets its own lymph node system or something like that. Similar to how our head and neck have their own dedicated system.
Those areas are prone to bacteria, so they get beefed up protections.

More sporty performing? The modern Mazda 3 is pretty compelling with its driving feel. Car and Driver routinely rates it as one of their favorite vehicles to drive in that segment.
It can also come with a turbo 2.5L with 250 hp and 320 lb-ft. All in a hatch that weighs around 3500 lbs. AWD, too.

I’m sure you could also bring it to a tuner to get even more power out of it. I recently got my car with a naturally aspirated 3.5L tuned, and simply from that and colder plugs, they squeezed out another 20-25 hp and lb-ft over the stock tune in some areas. Peak numbers increased by 14 hp and 19 lb-ft.
A turbo’d engine could go even harder.

But I do concede that I’m not the biggest fan on how it currently looks. It’s back end looks too rounded. I also heard visibility is poor with it.

Because he’s not a '90s cat. He’s a '70s cat.

What if we gave them fur that glows under UV light? And then modify our headlights to give off just a little UV. Then when the light hits their fur, they glow!
Most predators don’t have UV flashlights, so this should be a viable alternative.

I think it would be better to think of it as, “Do we want everyone to have the same general idea of what 5pm means? Or to have everyone be on one time?”

Edit: I know it’s an imperfect question as northern/southern latitudes can get dark sooner/later than the other pending the season. But 5pm to a Californian is going to feel very different than to a German if we’re all on one time.
Those are just my thoughts, though.

Best of luck in your endeavor. They are exceptionally rare and the conditions need to be just right for it to happen.

Not in person. I’ve only seen them online before.

Less than two hours after encountering it, it had frozen in place.

Wait, is that why I randomly got locked out of my Spoofy account and despite submitting multiple password reset requests, nothing was ever sent to my email?

Beyond All Reason if you’re looking for an RTS similar to Supreme Commander. I haven’t tried playing it in a few years though. I’m sure it’s gotten some updates since then.

You’re still useful! You can use your claws to protect your teammates’ eyes! See, you’re still contributing to the team.

However, if you are set on upgrading, I’d look at any of their 6000 series, from the 6600 on up to the 6950XT. I don’t recommend anything below the 6600 from that generation. Since you didn’t give a price range, I gave you a GPU range. All of those GPU’s are getting heavy discounts and they’re all solid cards. Only thing to note is if you go for the 6800XT and above to make sure your power supply can handle it. While they weren’t as bad as Nvidia, they could still suck down power.
I think I would personally recommend the 6700XT. I believe it has 12 GB of VRAM which will help it last longer in the coming years. 8 GB just doesn’t cut it anymore.

Adam Young, the guy behind Owl City has made albums under different names, including his own. One of the bands is Port Blue; he made an almost purely instrumental (only vocals are the first few seconds of the second track) album called The Airship. It feels rather experimental, but I use it to calm down. The other works are under his own name: Apollo 11, Project Excelsior, and Voyager 1.

All are well made and they tell a story through the instrumental music. Would recommend.

If I’m looking to maximize my relaxation, then it’s hard to go wrong with Sleepy Fish. Chill beats all the way.

If you want acoustic guitar playing that you probably never experienced before, then check out Alan Gogoll. Love his stuff. Always nice to listen to. His song Mulberry Mouse is a favorite of mine.

Aether also has a few instrumental albums. Eshajori is a very melancholic feeling album. Gives me a lonely, empty feeling, but I love it all the same.

In a completely different direction, but you could check out The Glitch Mob. Definitely electronic, but I wouldn’t say EDM.

That’s all I have on my phone at the moment. Hopefully these are good starts.
