ADINSX posted:Would this be possible I wonder? It still trips me out that some motorcycles have the engine as a stressed component of the bike Yep, but it's a niche thing. Formula E cars are built the same was as a "traditional" single seater, where the engine and transmission bolt directly to the back of the tub and carry all of the rear suspension. In Formula E's case there's a big battery pack in place of the engine, but it's still performing the same structural role, and then has motors & a transmission hanging off the back somehow. This is why they do the comedy car-swap thing instead of changing batteries mid race, changing batteries is an involved process that takes hours and involves splitting the car in half.

People at work have spent years asking for some electric car charging points and always been told no, it's too expensive or too complicated or we just don't feel like it. This is despite a few people having Leaves or Zoes and what have you. One of our new legion of C*O people (I legit have no clue what his role is) has a model X and now all of a sudden we are getting a pair of charging points in the management car park.  *E* As a company we use enough juice to require multiple substations on site, but obviously anyone daring to use the new charging spots will have to pay for the privilege. jammyozzy fucked around with this message at 22:31 on May 29, 2019 |

The place I work has two official brand colours, with RGB / Pantone codes and everything, and nothing customer facing uses them. Some of our document templates have two or three different approximations right on the front page, none of which are right and even I can tell apart on my lovely office-grade monitor.
