  1. Wall Street Journal article about preorder launch event: Will Anyone Buy This Cheap EV Truck With Hand-Crank Windows and No Radio?

    I wasn't aware of this. Please cite the source(s). I'd appreciate an explanation. The inkjet printer, and more traditionally the razor, are items that are designed such that their use necessitates consumption of a commodity. The originally sold item and the consumed commodity are designed so...
  2. Grill dimensions?

    Pretty sure you'd win that bet.
  3. Grill dimensions?

    So interesting you should mention that. I replaced a bunch of copper pipe in our home with PEX and I kept most of the copper, thinking there must be something cool I can make from it. Lately, I started wondering whether I could slice it lengthwise and pound it into sheets. Copper's pretty...
  4. Grill dimensions?

    I'm still very early in the window shopping stage, but the first unit to grab my interest is the Prusa Core ONE+. I don't think I can justify the additional spend on the L version. From what I've seen so far, I like Prusa's business philosophy. Bambu gets a lot of love online for their...
  5. Grill dimensions?

    I don't have a 3D printer, but getting the Slate will probably push me over into buying one. Whatever I get will have a heated/enclosed chamber and a hardened nozzle to keep all my material options open. Plus, a 3D printer is basically free since I won't be paying for the extended range...
  6. Sandy Munro video: Slate Revealed the Price. Here's How Munro Helped

The availability of that extreme...

  8. Slate Reviews Are Here! (First Drives, Hands-on, Shotgun Rides)

    That Munro video is amazing. I had such a nerdgasm watching that. If you're of a certain personality type, possibly the best justification for buying a Slate is the fact that Sandy is planning on buying two of them.
  9. Bed tiedowns - photos?

    I was wondering about this also for the sake of hauling sheet goods. Like lots of other folks, I'll be cutting 2x4 or 2x6 lumber to make supports that fit in the built-in pockets to have the full bed width. While that provides support, we'll need attachment points above and below to run a strap...
  10. Working out of a Slate / EV

    Not your situation (or mine for that matter), but I assume there will be a significant uptake by business owners who provide vehicles for their employees to use. You know who really doesn't mind crank windows and no infotainment system? The guy buying vehicles for his service techs and sales...
