Hypercritical
Hypercritical: EV Stupidity Checklist
Spot on checklist for car makers from John Siracusa, who always has a knack for this sort of thing.
In 2026, weâre well past the time when EVs need to compromise safety and functionality in order to appear futuristic. As for the cost savings, well, thatâll be harder to shake. Once automakers got a taste for cheap touchscreens, they spread to all cars, not just EVs.
To help the industry get back on the right track, Iâve created a checklist for car designers. Make sure your new carâEV or otherwiseâchecks all these boxes to avoid making the same stupid mistakes that have plagued modern cars for years.
Itâs no accident that we are in the midst of selling our Rivian R1S, which fails to check quite a few boxes:
-
Physical charge-port door mechanism: this one actually bit us in the ass recently. Our R1S has been sitting in the driveway while we wait for parts from Rivian (it was in an accident and itâs been over a month waiting for parts). The battery died and we couldnât open the charge port to plug it in. They had to send people to our house to fix it. So dumb.
- Physical controls for temperature and fan speed
- Physical controls for air flow and direction
-
Physical glove box opening mechanism: This one is a double fail â the R1S doesnât even have a glove box. So dumb.
Not on the checklist, but relevant, is that Rivian doesnât support Apple CarPlay.
Meanwhile, my BMW i4 suffers from none of these problems, which is why we decided to get a used iX for my wife. Physical charge port doors, real door handles, âstalksâ to adjust the direction of airflow, and native support for CarPlay. They arenât perfect, but they give the same great BMW experience that exists in the rest of their ICE cars without compromise.

Gierratio
On The Fuel Efficiency of Launching My Enemies Into The Sun
Launching your enemies into the sun is simple with the one easy trick rocket scientists don't want you to know about!
When snark and nerdiness collide, the results are often delightful, and this post is no exception.
Calculating the delta-v needed to launch someone into the sun is easier mathematically but tougher conceptually because it actually requires the counterintuitive approach of firing your rockets retrograde until your orbital velocity becomes zero. Since your velocity is now zero, the sun is going to pull you straight down until you become a toasty, concerningly fleshy [sic] marshmellow.
In the last 20 years of my life, Iâve slowly devolved into a concerningly fleshy marshmallow with very little aid from gravity.
What a fun post.

The Stanley Kramer comedy classic film It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (United Artists, 1963) has a handful of Royal KMG typewriters featured in the office settings at police stations throughout the film. The KMG was Royal's top-of-the-line office standard machine and was manufactured from 1949 to 1952 before being replaced by the Royal HH (1952 to 1957) and the Royal FP (1957to 1962). By the time the film premiered in November of 1963, the newest desktop manual would have been the Royal Empress (1962-1966).
The featured Royal KMG of the film sits in the center of Capt. T. G. Culpeper's (portrayed by Spencer Tracy) squad room and another appears in the background there.
Another Royal KMG appears in the sheriff's office of Crockett Country with the Sheriff portrayed by well known character actor Andy Devine.

Andy Devine as the old sheriff with bushy gray eyebrows and a reddish face is on a black rotary desk phone in his office as a closely cropped deputy sits behind him at a desk where we see the left side of a gray Royal KMG typewriter in the background.[/caption]
Â
Of tangential note, comedian and writer Carl Reiner, who portrays the tower controller at Rancho Conejo at which Mickey Rooney and Buddy Hackett attempt to land their airplane, is known to have have used a Royal KMG, though one doesn't appear in any of his scenes in the air traffic control tower.
