He’s a handy chap, isn’t he?

Mine figured out how door handles work.

I realise it’s referencing another comic, but based on just the art alone, it’s hard to tell, isn’t it?

Yep. Hopefully this trend burns itself out pretty quickly.

You’re almost certainly right, but there’s nothing in the image that gives it away as obviously AI, is there?

The rectangle is just the gap between his arm and body, isn’t it?

The other stuff is odd, but not a smoking gun by any means.

How can you tell though?

Someone felt like making a point.

Hadn’t the person already done a bunch of running before they set off on the marathon run? It’s been a while since I read about it, but I do remember there being more to the story.

I think it really depends on the bear. Polar or grizzly, and you’re in trouble.

I’ve noticed most firearms channels steer well clear of politics, unless it’s directly related to the topic at hand, I think partly to appeal to an international audience.

I do think the algorithm puts firearms and politics into very separate categories, someone watching Forgotten Weapons probably isn’t going to be interested in political content.

It’s… Beautiful.

It’s not an airport, no need to announce your departure.

Definitely not. There’s a few aftermarket conversions that use hub motors, but the ones I’ve seen were on vehicles like Land Rovers with live axles.

And now Trump gets to be the one who saved TikTok, despite starting the process.

No, they didn’t. I had plenty in my bio about hobbies, sports etc, very few mentioned it.

The most important job of a suspension system is to keep the wheels in steady contact with the ground, comfort is a secondary concern. With this in mind, manufacturers go to great lengths to reduce unsprung mass, even as far as having inboard brakes on race cars.

And you want to put the motor out on the wheel?

Yes, it’s a stupid idea, and there’s a reason why almost nobody does this. Mostly because of the handling, the more unsprung mass you have, the harder it is to keep the wheels on the ground.

Isn’t that exactly the same idea though? The motor is now on the chassis, but the reduction gear is still a lot of weight.

Race cars have gone as far as having inboard brakes to reduce unsprung mass, moving the gearing out to the wheel is silly.

Daydreaming about Vienna, and those careless days by the Danube, painting and savouring life.
