I think the problem is that they’re not using real graphic artists anymore. People who went to school to learn about design and lettering and fonts and stuff. Now we have people who got a student load for $100K and took a 2 week webinar in ‘Design for the Web’. The real designers can’t get jobs and are working at…

He had 56G as it was. If his head, decelerating from 139mph, had made direct contact with a metal barrier - let alone the edge of a metal barrier! - then I suspect he wouldn’t just have been knocked out.

Finished my PhD (Aerospace Engineering) in 2016, no college debt (never paid a cent in tuition/books, worked to pay room/board/food), and had already been maxing my 401k contributions for years since I was working full time through half of my PhD. Almost immediately after I was hooded I found another position that…

There are accounting standards, and they are verified. There’s no real reason to be skeptical here.

Aside from assuming facts not in evidence— the author may not even be in school debt, or even if she is, her chosen career may be perfectly capable to rendering those debt (and retirement investment) concerns moot— the fact is, life is a terminal condition, and it is absolutely not worth living unless you take the…

They just figured Trump is currently distracted golfing and asking his Magic 8-Ball if his most recent election conspiracy theory will work.

And when you insist on including your religious iconography in secular spaces, I want to build a time machine and go cheer for the fucking lions.

That’s like saying the burglar defended himself against the home owner.

Well, it probably won’t be designed to fail in 10 years, the bumper won’t fall off in the rain, it won’t have wipers that require you to navigate a touchscreen interface, the roof won’t fly away on your drive home from the dealer, and VW probably won’t downgrade it to a lower trim level if you sell it to someone else.

One of my clients is a car dealer network with 26 Ford and Mazda stores throughout New England and Northern California. If one of the internet reps for any of our stores pulled this stunt, he or she would be fired in an instant.

“Are you even old enough to know what happened in the 80s”

It’s a statement that has morphed with the times.

“I lived them, it wasn’t so bad” - probably because you’re the exact type of person Reagan and his administration liked - a white, straight, neurotypical , middle class American man. I know it’s the big scary no-no word these days, but y’know what that’s called? Privilege. It’s best you start recognizing you lived a…

You can say that with a straight face in 2020? I won’t argue with you if you put him at second worst, because I’m sure you have a good argument for your feelings, but goddamn we just lived through four years of the worst President in history.  

From the word go, Call of Duty was always the slightly creepier, more jingoistic take on ‘historic’ AAA shooters. Early on, it was likely just a way to distinguish itself from Medal of Honor’s more Spielbergian approach to identical subject matter. But as time’s gone on and Call of Duty delved into more contemporary…

A Chris Harris version/continuation of Alain de Cadenet’s Victory by Design would be great.

I don’t know how good of a developer he was but zip2 and x.com seemed to pay off for him. From everything I’ve read he actually does know quite a lot about rocketry and batteries and isn’t just the money behind the curtains. I do suspect that he micromanages things way too much though.

I would agree that it would be…

Great write-up and very informative. Just wondering why you included a tweet from an irrelevant washed-up “b”-rated reality TV “star” in this??

This is the answer. If he really doesn’t drive much, then he’s causing a bunch of unnecessary production and shipping costs (monetary and environmental) by getting a new car. He should drive this one for 5-10 years and then replace with an EV when he is comfortable with an EV lifestyle.
