Amidst California’s ongoing efforts to promote environmentally friendly transportation and the changing landscape of hydrogen fuel infrastructure, Toyota has announced a dramatic rebate of up to $40,000 off MSRP for the 2023 Toyota Mirai.
Over the last few years my family and I have binged all of Star Trek, then moved on to Star Trek adjacent shows like The Orville and Stargate. At the moment we’re not really watching anything sci-fi. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for similar shows (or maybe some books) that fill the void left by Star Trek. In...
What about dct?
There's no torque converter.
Those are often starting less smooth in my experience.
I once had a VW Transporter with torque converter that always rolled backwards slightly. (Only very slightly) It appeared that it disengaged the whole torque converter while stopped. (The rpm "relaxed" after stopping.) That was a bit weird.
(dontfeedthetrolldontfeedthetrolldont.. ah, damnit!)
The torque converter is usually always engaged, always wants to go, while holding the brake. As soon as the brakes are released the car starts rolling forward.
With the VW T4 that didn't work as on other cars since the torque converter was disengaged while stopping.
So the driver had to change to the accelerator more quickly than usual, if starting uphill.
Otherwise, since the torque converter engaged only a second after releasing the brake, the car would roll approximately 5cm backwards before going forward. (If starting without any accelerator input.)
I try to avoid the dedicated shutter button on my Xperia because the force it takes to push it makes it less stable than the slight touch on the display.
A Star Trek Voyager mug. That was the first time that a girl (my first girlfriend) took the time to go to a store and get a present for me. (Star Trek goods weren't easy to find in Germany.)

Does the app not work on android in general?
Samsung Galaxy note 10 plus and Sony Xperia 1V: just a swirly circle. With or without vpn, it doesn't connect to anything.
What's a band that has one album that is just about perfect in your opinion, but rest of their discography misses the mark with you?
