Why China is leading the way in BEV adoption:

In short, they force people to buy BEVs.

I did some spring cleaning a couple months late. I bought a new camera, a Sony RX100 VII. I love it so much, I brought myself to throw away to four worn-out and broken Konica/Minolta Dimage x50 cameras. That lead to a sweep through the whole room.

My second try at doing a fly-by in Google Earth Studio:

My first try, linked in this video's description, was much more primitive. This is intended to be under opening credits in a movie I am writing, locations are pertinent to the plot.

I replace the batteries on my Ryobi zero-turn lawnmower. They are four 100 AH lead-acid in series, so 48V. I decided against converting to LiFePO4 lithium automotive batteries. You have to change the charger, as well as the charge gauge in the mower.

The Rivian EV pickup truck is a financial disaster.

When I saw the company was founded by a PhD brainiac, I knew what was going on-- A bunch of theory people who think manufacturing is trivial and only to be left for morons. Even Tesla got schooled on that

If the sidebar ads cover the content, you can hover over the triangles at the top right of the ad, that causes an "X" to appear that lets you erase the ad panels

An engineer remodels a bathroom. I use that pernicious un-leaded solder to attach some Sioux Chief water hammer arrestors and some copper stub pipes to my Delta MultiChoice shower valves. I had one joint fail out of eight.

Finance whiz kids at Ford wanted aluminum battery cables because they would be cheaper. Meanwhile the batteries were boiling out because the regulators were not grounded right.

Why old Fords jump out of park. By 1980 NHTSA said there were 23,000 complaints, 6,000 accidents, 1,710 injuries, and 98 fatalities. Another engineering disaster. #engineering

Engineering disaster, the 1980 Ford truck ignition module, the worst reliability part in Ford history. And I helped!

An engineering disaster, the 1980 Ford windshield wiper motor. A cost reduction turns into a penalty, with noise and durability problems too. #engineering
