America has lost its f*****g mind.
  • You see these all the time, but they don't look like this because they're only sold commercially. Normally you see a truck box, a big tool rack/cherry picker, or a bus compartment. These are low-volume models that are designed and sold for purposes that actually require these trucks. This truck bed was a custom body job and this vehicle is probably a marketing/promotion model. No one's driving these around as their daily commuters, I doubt very many of these are even owned privately. OP is just just trying to start a disinformation circle-jerk

  • Chad Pacific
  • Lol wildly exaggerated. Largest height difference on Earth's surface is 13 miles (including underwater) vs. the 8,000 mile diameter. To quote NDGT, "The Earth is smoother than a cue ball"

  • What book series would you like to see made into a movie trilogy or a show with multiple seasons?
  • A Chinese show has already been released and an American one is releasing on Netflix soon. The Chinese version can be streamed on Viki. I'm about 1/3 of the way through (30 episodes) and I'm absolutely loving it. They don't dumb down any of the details with the science and is staying very true to the books so far. You just have to be willing to watch a subtitled show

    I'm happy to be surprised but I doubt I'll like the US version as much. Nearly every US book adaptation I've watched has been dumbed down "for a wider audience" and changed quite substantially (looking at you, Silo and Beacon 23). This is also coming from D and D of GoT infamy, so we'll see if they can turn their track record around. At least this book is finished so they have the entire source material to work with

  • The colour of the Sun is white
  • During the day it's white, but it's also overhead and blindingly bright so we don't spend much time looking at it. As it gets closer to the horizon Rayleigh scattering begins filtering out the bluer light and the sun becomes yellow, then orange, then red. It also gets closer to our eyeline and becomes mildly safer to look at so we look at it a lot more. This in turn leads us to believe it's always yellow

  • How long did you have to wait before retaking your drivers test?
  • Only took it once, I don't know anyone personally that took it more than once. If there's a minimum wait time it would be posted in your state's policies, but I'd guess they'll take your money for the second test as soon as you want the too

  • Why does salty water taste so bad when salty food tastes so good?
  • Overhydration is a rare but fatal condition that occurs when someone consumes too much water, leading to an electrolyte imbalance. As little as 1 liter an hour can cause this condition. Distilled water has the highest chance of causing this condition with little to no benefit other than taste. Taste preferention is also uncommon as we've generally evolved to seek out mineral-rich water

  • "Privacy concerned" aka following every knee-jerk reaction of the crowd. At least I see you walking back your concerns after seeing real evidence above, keep your head on straight. The "privacy concern" in this thread is like the tech version of the juice-cleanse, health-nut craze. People spewing ill-informed or straight up wrong information and the privacy crowd is gobbling it up

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Home generators are not very efficient, they lose a lot of energy to heat and noise. It's close to the break even point so depending on your generator and heatpump, you could use more gas than with a modern gas furnace. Even with a theoretical perfect 100% efficient generator, it's not going to be an order of magnitude less gas because heat pumps are not 1000% more efficient than a gas furnace

  • offshore pfd recommendations
  • Another vote for Spinlock. I have the deckvest duro. I love that everything is built-in (whistle, strobe, etc.). It's also very comfortable to wear. I feel like it catches on things less than others since it has a "zipper" seam instead of velcro too, very self-contained. Forgot to mention the canvas tether attachment point too, no metal to clank and scratch against anything
