I was thinking about this last time I drove an ev (ioniq 5). It will really decelerate quite hard when you lift off, and it's configurable by the driver.

I don't think they need to do it with an accelerometer, but if the regeneration system is applying more braking force than it would take to turn on the light with the brake pedal, it should turn the light on.

Either that or they should require the brake pedal to be used beyond that point.

Edit: actually it just occurred to me that it might be no worse than downshifting in a normal car. Maybe it's not a big deal.

Not that I recall. It turns out that most people have their Xbox in a place that sucks for dribbling a basketball, so I think the correct way to play this game was to move the setup to your garage/patio. :)

The documentary will be released this year and promises to “lift the lid on the man behind the public image”

The public image being a man who desperately needs to be the center of attention.

I worked on this game. You have to dribble a basketball in front of all your expensive electronics. Insane idea, but it was a fun project.

Have you checked all the ethernet links are actually connected at 1G and not 100M?

I was expecting something in the article to back it up, like sales figures, but I couldn't find anything.

We want to negotiate, but you must allow us to eat all the chips.

There are so many levels of fuckery in the American system. It goes all the way up to just asking the supreme court (who you appointed) to please let you win.

The right was never dominating the polls. They had ~30%. It was always going to play out this way. The doom and gloom was that actual fascists had 30% of the vote.

It was only individual candidates being encouraged to drop out strategically.

France has a slightly less shitty electoral system than e.g. UK, US, Canada, so a party with 30% was never going to win absolute power.

Edit: when I say "it was always going to play out this way" l just mean the right weren't going to win a majority. The left still seems to have done surprisingly well in the second round.

Also, it's still shitty that the fascists won so many seats..

The Old Soul - You Are Gold

I remember hearing this band on CBC radio 3, years ago, and I thought they had a bunch of catchy songs. 36 views on YouTube and not much on Spotify.
