When they brought the double down to the UK it was a good day. It was around the time I was bouldering in the evenings after work and sitting in the cool night air after trashing myself for a couple of hours eating a double down was a religious experience. Gob bless America.

There's this restaurant in Vegas.

https://www.heartattackgrill.com/

This is from their website.


quote:

The Heart Attack Grill® is a hospital themed restaurant in downtown Las Vegas. It has become internationally famous for embracing and promoting an unhealthy diet of incredibly large hamburgers. Customers are referred to as "patients," orders as "prescriptions," and the waitresses as "nurses." All those who weigh over 350 pounds are invited to unlimited free food provided they weigh themselves on an electronic cattle scale affront a cheering restaurant crowd.

Edit: oh, I thought this was the OSHA thread, not an AI thread!

This is my ideal burger right here... and there happens to be a place here in Austin that makes EXACTLY this (this is from an article from some publication about his place). The owner went to high school with some of my family...



If you know where I'm talking about, you know. And I dare you to ask him to put a tomato slice on anything. :laffo: I'd post a link to the place, but I'm kinda worried I might get a probation over the name (it's offensive to some groups).

I could put some oil in, the idle the car on a flat surface for 5 minutes, and rinse and repeat until the dash tells me what I want to see.

different but close, my dipstick is loving impossible to read without a flashlight even in direct sunlight. Ford replaced the whole long block under warranty cause it was just eating oil and i never knew even while checking the oil every week, the dipstick basically always has a layer of oil on it, there's just like a tiny bit more where it's supposed to show where the actual oil is, not in the discernable way like normal

Honestly there are only 2 things that drive me nuts about this car.

the aforementioned method of checking the oil (which took me several drives and sit & idle sessions to loving update), and the fact that every single button, switch, and dial is lit in some way EXCEPT the garage door buttons on the sun visor so when I come home at night I have to fumble around for the right button.

Because EVs are the future of car poo poo, and so Caterham is going to make a quintessentially Caterham EV. Apparently the weight of the EV 7 is no higher than the weight of a regular Caterham Seven plus a passenger, and it accelerates pretty loving quick too. They're also working to figure out how to develop battery technology in a way that will allow the car to be equally comfortable on a sunday drive as hauling rear end around something like Brands Hatch.

Apparently 250BHP is more than enough to get a sub 4 second 0-100km/h time. It's good to see someone realizing there's such thing as too much power for what you want to do. More power => more battery for the power => more weight from the battery => more power to move the weight => more battery etc.

Apparently it takes 15 minutes to charge the car in the pits, and it is capable of running a 20 minute full out heat on track on the 15 minute charge, so it can fulfill the function of a weekend track toy/sprint racer.

An electric Caterham actually sounds pretty awesome and ideal, something lightweight and simple like that could be a monster and crazy fun with all the torque and responsiveness of electric motors.

And no one is taking a Caterham on a 500 mile/day road trip so the range anxiety bogeyman is irrelevant

There are two Caterham EVs planned actually.

There's the Lotus7 type that you mention and a normal car



quote:

Slung deep within the carbon fiber and aluminum structure sits a small 55 kWh net capacity battery pack, but because the Project V weighs so little and has a small frontal area, it’s allegedly good for 249 miles of range.

Well, a 200-kilowatt motor on the rear axle produces 268 horsepower in common terms, which is good enough for a claimed sub-4.5 second zero-to-62 dash.
