Aura 8,294 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 If you don't have renter's insurance, get it! Glad you're okay!Yes, we have it.Checked the building today, the entire back side of the complex (it's a sort of inverse courtyard layout, where parking is in the rear middle section) looks like those old pictures of London in WWII. As if a bomb was just dropped through the roof. Our landlord (who owns a bunch of buildings on the street, but luckily not this one) is convinced it was arson. I don't know what could cause that much structural damage outside of a gas leak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Voltron 25,077 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Fuckin' A, Bro, that is scary anywhere nearby. I think it could have been a Cubs fan spontaneously combusting while watching them self destruct. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nebby 189 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Neighborhood was insanity last night. Apartment three buildings to our west caught fire [possibly via explosion] and the whole building engulfed pretty quick. Took all night for fire dpt to put it out. WAY too close for comfort. Not my picture, but you get the idea.Holy crap, I'm glad you're alright! Brings back memories from my apt fire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

en480c4 542 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 It's officially hardtop season, so in addition to cleaning a bunch of grit and grime off of it from storing it outside all summer, I got Thule tracks mounted on it, the Thule towers and bars I kept from the last Jeep and the ski box test fit for the upcoming ski season. Also did a bunch of yard work, trying to clean things up before weather really turns. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grahame 10,516 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I got to drive a pre-production hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (Toyota Mirai (it means future)) around San Francisco, briefly, today.The required infrastructure isn't really in place yet, and Elon Musk has said why are we even having this conversation (wrt. Electric vs hydrogen powered cars) but still cool nonetheless. TCO doesn't make sense for me but it does get you a white HOV Lane sticker.P.S. don't mention the Hindenburg 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dsavitsk 4,445 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 and Elon Musk has said why are we even having this conversationHow long does it take to charge a Tesla? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grahame 10,516 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Longer than to refuel a Hydrogen fuel cell vehicle . Toyota were quoting refueling for 300 mile range in 5 minutes or less, which seems real world practical , even if as Elon states the end to end efficiency of a pure electric is higher. Different approach, different trade offs, pick the one that best fits your use case. I could see it being more practical for people without a dedicated garage / parking space / overnight charging point. Needs a more pervasive infrastructure, and more economies of scale. Ubiquitous fusion power would help both camps.http://www.bbc.com/news/business-33005362http://evobsession.com/hydrogen-cars-vs-electric-cars-detailed-comparison-efficiency/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dusty Chalk 8,565 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 They also have a greater range, don't they? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grahame 10,516 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Which They?, compared to what? Non-ambiguous context resolution please.Edit: P.s. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=mirai+or+tesla+greater+range Edited October 26, 2015 by Grahame Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dusty Chalk 8,565 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) I thought the entirely electric cars had a small range, whereas fuel cell cars could go for days. 312 miles/502 km is pretty chintzy, I had expected more.
