Welcome to The Morning Dump, bite-sized stories corralled into a single article for your morning perusal. If your morning coffee’s working a little too well, pull up a throne and have a gander at the best of the rest of yesterday. Cadillac Unveils Its Flagship Well, well, well, if it isn’t another gorgeous high-end show car from Cadillac. Yes, we finally know what the Celestiq will look like, thanks to an online debut on Friday....

Yes, that Cougar. I bet the last time you can remember seeing one your life was in a very, very different place, because these are almost extinct and have been for quite some time. They’re pretty much all on Ghost Car status now, which is, I think, a shame, and we’ll get into why. The eighth (that word never looks right to me, by the way. I mean, over 66% of that word is “ghth” which reads like the sound you make when you walk crotch-first into a fire hydrant....

Dodge is in a bit of a pickle. The brand has built its name, in part, on raucously loud, powerful internal combustion engines, and now has to pivot to electric propulsion like the rest of the industry. Many of the brand’s customers are EV skeptics, believing that the only proper engine for a motor car is the V8. I don’t fault them for this; V8s are great. (And, to be fair, many people outside of Dodge’s customer base are are EV skeptics)....

When I departed my home a week ago I had no idea what to expect. The campground attached to AirVenture, Camp Scholler, has a website that details the grounds and the facility, but it won’t prepare you for what you’ll experience. When I packed up my fiancé Sheryl’s Prius I pictured something like a regular campground; if you’ve gone RVing before then you know what I’m talking about. A typical campground will have neat gravel spaces for large RVs to park and manicured lawns for tent campers to set their stakes down in....

Welcome to The Morning Dump, bite-sized stories corralled into a single article for your morning perusal. If your morning coffee’s working a little too well, pull up a throne and have a gander at the best of the rest of yesterday. The Hyundai Ioniq 6 Boasts Some Insane Range Hyundai’s released range figures for the Ioniq 6 on the somewhat optimistic WLTP cycle and man, are they ever impressive. This electric sedan rides on the same E-GMP architecture as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and features cutting-edge 800-volt DC fast charging capability....

Wait a second, what about the BS1 and BS2? Well, they didn’t really exist. The letters in the BS3 alphanumeric stand for battistrada separata, or separate tread, and the 3 stood for the three tread bands. Here’s how the BS3 worked: Tread bands were available in both summer and winter tread patterns and could be slipped on simply by deflating the tire casing. Once the pressure was pumped back up, grooves and air pressure would work to hold the bands to the tire carcass....

Back in April, I wrote about how Boeing was cracking through its final five orders of its famed 747. The very last 747 that UPS will get rolled out of the paint shop. And the final aircraft in the order book were for Atlas Air. We’ve all known that this day would come, but it’s still a bit of a shock. The Everett plant, the world’s largest building by volume, will no longer build the aircraft that it was constructed for....

Before it derailed, Norfolk Southern’s 9,300-foot-long freight train was carrying 20 cars containing hazardous materials. The fire cooked off a haul of vinyl chloride—the chemical that makes PVC (polyvinyl chloride) plastic and is also a carcinogen—and bathed the area in a plume of smoke loaded with highly toxic chemicals. Also on the train were butyl acrylate and ethylhexyl acrylate—both toxic ingredients in plastics—and a slew of other chemicals, which mixed together and burned....

My word, that’s a lot of glass. The windshield doesn’t stop at the cowl, it keeps going all the way past the front axle despite the car’s silhouette featuring a long dash-to-axle ratio. The result is an incredibly strange greenhouse that makes this four-door sedan seem inspired by Bertone’s outlandish Lancia Stratos Zero. How bizarre is that? The strangeness continues with giant fins off the front fenders that are more than slightly reminiscent of the fourth-generation Chevrolet Camaro....

This 911 has been customized to be like a period-correct safari/off-road machine, complete with an unashamed ’70s color palette and glorious stripes and all the fun stuff like roll cages and plenty of lights and big tires. But I want to point out this little bit of graphic design on the sides: I love how the word Safari is made only with what’s not there; it’s cut out of the stripes on the side, with just a few edges delineated in white, just four squiggles to help guide your imagination to see what isn’t, yet is, there....

Interestingly, research largely shows the vast majority of people don’t inhabit perfectly sealed-off echo chambers. It’s been found that only about 4 percent of people operate in online echo chambers, and most people on Twitter, for example, don’t follow any political accounts. Essentially, most people aren’t following politics, and a lot of people who do are getting at least a little bit of information from different sides of the political spectrum....

Either for trivial tasks, such as trimming an image. Or more complex issues such as retouching and balancing a photograph in RAW format. Image editing is essential for our projects. But sometimes we get carried away by what the majority uses, without thinking in advance if that program is the one that best suits our needs. Or if with another we would improve our workflow. For this reason, we have seen the need to create a list of some of the best image editing software available on the market today....

The biggest headache with any iPhone user is how long the battery charge will last. Any iPhone user will tell you that these smartphones are good, but the fast-draining batteries make us crazy. That’s why; many IPhone users are always carrying a charger. Likewise, restaurants are increasing the number of charging points, because that where every iPhone user want to stay. Luckily, there is a new gadget that every iPhone user will love -Ampware Crankcase Ampware Crankcase is a phone case designed for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s....

Welcome to The Morning Dump, bite-sized stories corralled into a single article for your morning perusal. If you’re morning coffee’s working a little too well, pull up a throne and have a gander at the best of the rest of yesterday. Close Like Starsky And Hutch, Stick To Clutch Toyota took to Twitter today to tease the forthcoming manual GR Supra with a simple shot of three pedals trimmed in rubber and brushed metal....

That March was a nightmarishly violent month for Kyiv’s outskirts, including Irpin, where Sotnychenko lives, but there were moments when he allowed himself to feel comforted by the drones flying above. He imagined the Ukrainian army watching his small acts of resistance. “I felt reassured because I felt that I wanted to show them that we are holding out,” he says, speaking through a translator provided by the Museum of Civilian Voices, a project documenting ordinary people’s experience of the conflict in Ukraine....

Since 2006, the United States and many other countries have embedded these little chips in the back panel of their passports, or “e-Passports” as they’re known. The chip digitally stores the personally identifying information of the document’s owner, including name, date of birth, passport number, and biometric data like your photo, along with a cryptographic signature meant to act as a check against tampering or forgeries. For years, the US has required that Visa Waiver countries issue e-Passports to their citizens who want to enter the US....

One of the most competitive niches and one of the most requested. For the sales level to be high, you need to get an original idea. Keeping track of new products is key to the success of the clothing business. Women’s and children’s clothes are very popular. It is desirable to analyze what is currently missing in this niche, and fill the gap. At the same time you can sell accessories for the completeness of the image (bags, belts, jewelry)....

You don’t need to make a website from scratch Most people fall in a trap when making a website, especially if they feel distant from technology, they pay someone to do it, while most of the designers would do the same as you should ( if you did it yourself). And there are easier and cheaper ways than paying to get a full website. Naturally, it depends on your budget. If your budget for web developing is smaller than $1000, no developer will make you a full, decent website from scratch....
