  We used these in my elementary, middle, and high schools, and I went to HS in the mid 2010’s! And we did still do drills with them.

  I’ve got 3D pipes running on my spare Win10 machine :) fills me with nostalgia every time I see it, even still

  Yeah, it’s certainly a good thing it doesn’t hail in the outback lmao

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't electric car manufacurers put solar panels on the car roofs?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. And what’s worth remembering is that solar cars tend to be something like 2X longer then normal cars, and cover the entire surface except for windshield with panels. No rear windshield, either.

  You’re absolutely right - still absurdly shaped pancakes and they can’t reach highway speeds when powered on solar power alone. They do reach road speeds nowadays but they’re allowed to charge during and after race time (regulations are pretty confusing). I was on a solar car team a few years back.

  Doesn’t provide enough power for the cost of the cells, plus having to clean and upkeep them. And the more material you cover them with (to protect them; solar cells are INCREDIBLY fragile), the less efficient they are. I was on a solar car team in college and the cells are so fragile that to clean them, we had to use new microfiber cloths every time. Any dust would scratch and ruin them (which made it quite tough when I drove across the outback in the thing). We kept our cells completely uncovered because we needed maximum efficiency - but even with a super light carbon fiber solar car that’s got very minimal tire contact patches, specialized tires from Bridgestone, and a very aerodynamic shape (plus no amenities like A/C), I think our car could sustain something like 10-15 km/h on a perfectly sunny day in the middle of the outback. It just doesn’t add enough on a huge, heavy EV

  Hmm, that might actually go pretty well. I’d say Forza Horizon is probably in my top ten games of all time… I absolutely loved that game
