Fingers crossed it sticks around, even if this entry had some issues, It's better than a developer throwing everything out and only working on continuing the 2 hits they made 20+ years ago

    One thing that I wasn't sure of, does one xbox studios' co-developers (aka sub contractors) count as 'vendor spend' in the budget, or are those folded into the project/studio budget and the 'vendor spend' that Xbox called out only refers to subs not under a single studio

    I was looking for a like-to-like comparison, but Noone really makes 24 kwh bevs anymore, so I had to compare the 2014 model S p85 (85 kwh) to the 2026 genesis gv60 (85 kwh) to see what the same size battery does. According to the link https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=35994&id=49653&id=49654 the new genesis does significantly better despite weighing more and being larger, BUT almost all the gain comes from city driving. So the efficiency might actually be from just improving the regen algorithms

    (Gv60 - 4900 lbs, ModS - 4650 lbs)

    But it's also hard to know if the epa testing methodology changed, because articles from around 2014 claimed 265 mile epa range, but the site shows 242.

    Edit: oh the 265 vs 242 is single vs dual motor, dual motor is the better comparison

    Good stuff. I think there's an some personal sites that are web devs trying neat things and that leads to larger sites like visualrambling.space and such, but most people's personal sites aren't doing anything crazy and following these rules will help (see also the smolweb movement). But worst of all are people on substack, which will load 12 MB of javascript on any random text+static pics page.

    One thing that I've noticed is that hellstrips are usually compacted to all hell (in the southeast by me at least) since all the utilities guys compact the ground after burying something, so even natives might struggle if they need to be able to shove their roots more than an inch into the ground. I'm all for sprinkling seeds about, but see if you can look for some that are creepers rather than deep taprooters
