Tangibility is what the "inconvenience-seekers" actually want. You get LPs for being a Large Object that Comes in a Large Beautiful Package that Mysteriously Makes Sound. What I don't want are 45rpm 12" discs that make me flip them every two or three songs, that's inconvenient.

Essentially, mechanical difficulty leads to more diversity in skill expression. You wouldn't have Borp OR Jmook stand out in Rivals 2, players of the same character who express skill through pure strategy and no tech, vs the highest level of mechanical execution with the character.

The cost difference is why Toyota is able to make models hybrid-only now while Honda, which has just as many years of experience, cannot. Two 150ish hp motor-generators and the accompanying power electronics cannot be brought to price parity with a conventional automatic transmission.

It's not more power, it's instant torque availability at all times more like an EV.

CarVac @carvacuum.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

Honda hybrids sacrifice cost (more than 2x the motor capacity required) and a bit of efficiency for better driving dynamics. And they fake the discrete gear shifts because of, once again, customer expectations. The customer is *not* always right.

CarVac @carvacuum.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

Power-split hybrid systems are highly responsive at low speeds and very linear at high speeds, but because they keep the engine heavily loaded for efficiency they are less quick to increase torque for highway passing, having to spool up the engine to a higher RPM first.

CarVac @carvacuum.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

As a longtime Prius driver, every automatic transmission car I've ever driven has been awful to drive with terrible responsiveness at low speeds and ugly step changes in behavior at highway speeds. It's all a matter of expectations.

There were non-slow ones extremely quickly. My parents had the original V6 Highlander Hybrid and though it wasn't quite as efficient as the latest ones (only 25 mpg) it really pulled hard and felt muscular in driving.

@depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social Today I noticed that Florence‚ Oregon, known for blowing up the dead whale, also accidentally banned sex.

Exploding whale

On November 12, 1970, Florence was the site of a famous scene when the Oregon Department of Transportation used 20 cases of explosives to try to blow up a dead beached whale, with unintended consequences. The explosion was supposed to send pieces of whale flying towards the ocean, but many pieces were blown in the opposite direction, crushing a car over 0.25 miles (0.40 km) away and covering bystanders in small bits of whale. In 2020, residents voted to name a new park Exploding Whale Memorial Park.

Accidental ban on sex

The Florence City Council brought national attention to Florence after it approved a poorly-worded ordinance at its regular meeting on November 26, 1977. Intending to prevent people from having sexual intercourse in view of bystanders, the council approved a measure that made it illegal to have sex "while in or in view of a public or private place." Days later, a re-reading of the ordinance showed that it applied to sex in private. According to the United Press International report that followed days later, "City officials said they would not enforce the new ordinance until it could be amended."

Most PHEVs run their batteries with extremely conservative depths of discharge, and short hops on battery-only is the best way to avoid short hops with cold ICE.

CarVac @carvacuum.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

Ive always wanted there to be a video explaining the flow of power in a Toyota hybrid. Sending power from MG1 to MG2 boosts torque at low speeds, MG2 to MG1 boosts output speed but lowers torque. Also, the Toyota PHEVs lock the engine so both motors can contribute, not just MG2.

Below the graphics, a section titled "How we work with Linux distributions" details the company's upstream design approach and multi-level collaboration to ensure broad compatibility. A following section titled "Official partners" explains that Ubuntu and Fedora are officially supported distributions, noting deep engineering collaboration and the provision of official customer support for these specific distros.
