  • Just played the arcade version of Exerion.

    This game was ahead of its time. Released in 1983, it was doing parallax backgrounds which gave it a 3D effect. And this makes a big difference for a game that’s pretty much like Space Invaders and Galaga.

    Which is why home conversions fared poorly. You do not want to play the Famicom or MSX versions of Exerion because they fare very poorly.

  • Ford, Take Note: Classic Pickup Becomes the EV We Want

    Ford does sell an electric pickup, but not very many of them. We can’t say for sure, but it’s possible that if the F150 Lightning had the classic cool of [ScottenMotors] 1977 F150 SuperCab conversion they’d have better numbers.
    The battery box sits where a V8 used to choke on well-meaning emissions controls.
    On Reddit, [Scotten] shares the takeaways from his conversion effort, which involved a custom Tesla-cell battery pack and a new rear axle assembly to house the Tesla SDU (Small Drive Unit). A Large Drive Unit (LDU) would probably fit, but the SDU already puts out 264 HP, which compares rather favourably to the 156 HP this truck’s malaise-era V8 put out stock. The old F-bodies were great trucks in a lot of respects, but even an die-hard ICE enthusiast is probably not going to be sad to see that motor go.

    Choosing to put the integrated drive unit in the rear axle complicates the build compared to other conversions that re-use the
    Before the bed goes on, you can see the new rear axle with the Tesla SPU. There might be room for another, smaller battery under there.
    stock transmission and differential, but saves you all the losses associated with that frankly unnecessary powertrain hardware. The takeaway there is to figure out all the mechanical work on the chassis, because the EV stuff is actually the easy part. [Scotten] had the wheels turning a full year before he got the brakes figured out, because even if they’re just the rears and even if there’s regen– you want all the breaks to work on your test drive.

    With the 100kW power pack, he’s getting about 220 miles of range. From the pictures, it looks like he’s filled up most of the hood space with that battery, but we can’t help but wonder if there’s room under the bed where the gas tank(s) lived to squeeze in more cells for those of us who need to go further.

    Sadly the design isn’t open source, but [ScottenMotors] is apparently doing conversions on commission and open to selling kits; you can check that out on their website. In that, he’s following in the series-hybrid footsteps of Edison Motors.

    While we respect the hustle to design an all-new rear end in this hack, you don’t even have to pull the internal combustion engine if you want to play on easy mode. You don’t need to be a nanoscience professor like [ScottenMotors] to pull off an electric truck, for the record– [Mr.G]’s high school class did a great job on a kei truck.

    Thanks to [JohnU] for the tip!

  • @penryu for me, I have a particular turn on 101, just past Gaviota Beach, which is where Southern California ends and central California starts. The Bay Area/Central California border is at Gilroy. The Bay Area/Northern California border is just north of Ukiah. And from there it just keeps going until Oregon.

    Orange aviation alert: Russian volcano puts on display in latest eruption> A volcano in Russia’s far east on Wednesday spewed ash several kilometres into the sky, authorities said, putting on a spectacular display in its latest eruption.> The Shiveluch volcano is one the largest and most active volcanoes on Russia’s remote Kamchatka Peninsula, one of the most intense volcanic regions in the world.> Its latest eruption produced an ash column reaching nearly 9,000 metres (29,500 feet) above sea level, the local branch of Russia’s Academy of Sciences wrote on Telegram, accompanied by a video.> An orange aviation alert -- one below the maximum red -- has been issued for the area near the volcano, the Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT) said on Telegram. https://today.rtl.lu/news/world/russian-volcano-puts-on-display-in-latest-eruption-1618439037 #volcano #Russia #KamchatkaPeninsula #Russia #aviation #eruption

    A pilot license is often called a 'license to learn'.Training in gliders helps power pilots with concepts of energy management. Just ask Sully.Training in aerobatic gliders expands your understanding of aircraft handling, upset recovery, etc.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6NEODODYCMSully?

    28 November 2025Airbus update on A320 Family precautionary fleet action"Toulouse, France, 28 November 2025 – Analysis of a recent event involving an A320 Family aircraft has revealed that intense solar radiation may corrupt data critical to the functioning of flight controls.Airbus has consequently identified a significant number of A320 Family aircraft currently in-service which may be impacted.Airbus has worked proactively with the aviation authorities to request immediate precautionary action from operators via an Alert Operators Transmission (AOT) in order to implement the available software and/or hardware protection, and ensure the fleet is safe to fly. This AOT will be reflected in an Emergency Airworthiness Directive from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).Airbus acknowledges these recommendations will lead to operational disruptions to passengers and customers. We apologise for the inconvenience caused and will work closely with operators, while keeping safety as our number one and overriding priority."https://www.airbus.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2025-11-airbus-update-on-a320-family-precautionary-fleet-action#airbus #a320 #corruption #softwareupdate
