Since Prius are so popular and plentiful, and now quite old, there are companies supplying newer tech Lion packs with way more capacity, or lighter weight (or both) than the original Prius packs (many with NiMH packs).

I’m on the hunt for old Prius with dead packs as we speak.

Yeah !nottheonion is supposed to be absurdist news that sounds completely made up but is real.

This post should have been moderated out.

But instead of a delicious smoothie, it makes that toxic dust like the will it blend videos.

The title says “1000 miles”, the the subtitle right below says “moving closer to 1000 kilometers” which is only 621 miles and pretty close to what we already could do with a ridiculously big battery in a Lucid Air or Tesla (if they didn’t bother with the plaid speed bullshit and just build for single motor range).

Stupid editorial work for maximum click bait.

Yeah, that’s the best recommendation yet, I don’t know why I always forget that option.

Thanks!

Used DVD box sets could be the cheapest, and certainly the fastest way to get them.

They also can’t charge $70k for one, even though it only cost $200 more to produce than the $18k striped compact truck.

Oooo yeah, sell it as offline/private social medial to the preppers. If we can make sure the algorithms gently steer people away from extremism over time, I think we could save the world.

If it didn’t take so much electricity to do I’d support it (but not actually use it).

I wonder if there are already plans to take control of starting in an emergency? The DoD should eat game then it’s there isn’t.

The NSA could probably let them in through one of the back doors.

Oinks -> What.CD -> Waffles -> streaming services.

Now I’ve been out too long to have credentials with good private trackers unless there are open signups.

We also lost Brokenstones to bad actors. I’m getting too old to bother at this point.
