It’s been said that Americans will measure in anything but the metric system. While it’s not strictly true, news journalists and others love measuring things in football fields, washing machines, and large boulders the size of small boulders.
Now, we have a new thing for you to measure in. Yesterday, Lewin wrote about how the gas tank of a Geo Metro has more energy than a GMC Hummer EV’s battery. That’s all fine and good, but Abdominal Snoman has a great way to measure things:
Personally I prefer to convert everything to calories… A gallon of gas has the same calories as 49 big macs and the metro burns 1.2 big macs per mile.
Many of you have been reading our work for long enough to know every little thing that’s happened over the years. It wasn’t that long ago when David Tracy had alternators under trees and a backyard mud pit. Now he’s cleaned up and oh yeah, quoted by the Times.
Nsane In The MembraNe gets it:
From shower spaghetti to being in the goddamn Times style section….the hollywoodification of our dearest boi is finally complete!
Don’t worry friends, we have others to continue the chaos! I’ve taken over the hoarding while the Notorious SWG is the wrencher extraordinare.
Earlier today, Matt asked in his Morning Dump about what would help an affordable EV sell. V10omous has a good idea:
I’m sure there’s a fancier formula than this out there, but to me 100 miles of range per $10,000 MSRP seems reasonable for a next-gen EV.
Also if the Express can just hang around a bit longer, it is eligible to run for President in 2032 (born January 1996). Can’t be worse than our current options.
I’m not going to touch that last bit, but it’s hilarious to think of a Chevy Express in the Oval Office and flying on Air Force One.
Here’s your random AirVenture photo of the day. Have a great evening!
