Because they don’t make hybrids more fun. Musk nailed it with the model s. You build a better experience; fun driving, fancy games, break the “boring” and no one will care it is electric. Hell, use the fact it is electric to INCREASE performance and you’ll have people’s attention.

It wasn’t just Charlie Wilson. There was an active effort in military and disaster planning, post atomic bomb, to help enforce urban decentralization. Thus preserving lives & productions during atomic attack. Of course planners never imagined that the technology & number of warheads would advance to the point that…

It’s probably my depressive reading of history, but no, I don’t. We’ve been pretty shitty government wise for a LOOOONNNGGG time. 

I mean this is ridiculous. But also clearly a violation of the 1st amendment and will not last more than 10 minutes in federal court. 

Trucks are great and aren’t that much bigger to similarly equipped trucks from 60 years ago.

Seuss said it best:

so, to gain (lose?) 4" in height and 12" in length, you get a shorter bed and -2k in towing capacity. I just don’t see the appeal. Maybe it isn’t domestic?

I’d be up for something full-size with they styling and near-luxury Hyndai & kia have been delivery recently, but this? I don’t know.

Question, is there a reason…

Is is less about what it actually cost the canal, and more about what the boat is worth (likely close to that figure) and what the Ever company is willing to spend to not have every single one of their ships harassed going through that canal for the rest of time.

This is one thing I’ve never understood about Trump’s McD’s obsession. It is that he is obviously eating it cold. Like there is no way he is getting a piping hot well put together Big Mac with fresh fries. (Which can be damn good). But he is sending someone out to get it, and that has to take at least a 1/2 hour or…

I like the rivian. A little worried about what the company will be like long term, and a little disappointed in how small the truck is. But It is on my short list for my next truck. 

It is Ford. They are the only one, besides Rivian, that has something close to being on lots. I can see the electric f150 being a bit of a stop gap until they get a true electric truck chassis from the ground up*. But it will be there.

But this is SOOOO easy to fix. Just add online sales to all existing franchise agreements and revenue share with dealerships through a shared platform. Yeah, it may not be as lucrative, but the lack of cost associated with making a sale, plus the higher MSRP price will certainly make up for it.

Either tie the delivery…

Running calcs, when you can just look at it and see the problems is what seperates a good architect from a good engineer. A good architect will see the issues and understand the forces involved from intuition and experience, an engineer will just “run the numbers.”

I get frustrated when I run into engineers who won’t…

It has been an issue for 25 years. We debated it in High School. Just because you aren’t aware of it doesn’t mean it wasn’t an issue. 

Well, at least we’ve found the us verion of james may...

flaw in your logic. I’ve never actually seen him complete a car...

It is just a stretch to impose modern political movements/theory back to pre-colonial periods. Or to assume that as progressives we don’t have our own witch trials that we run sometimes. 

You aren’t wrong. There are cases of middle class pain and lower class success too. But for the majority you are right. Those who had easy computer based jobs gained a lot of life back. Those who didn’t have that flexibility didn’t. 

So instead they will just sit around not collaborate with anyone and STILL have other people come in and eat their lunch?

as much as there is a “mental health crisis” there has also been a time of massive mental health relief. Not everyone is suffering. Some people, my wife and I, are thriving in the lack of commutes. The narrative that this is a nightmare may sound good to you, but it ignores the better work life balance some of us have…
