Except Toyota has probably built more “big battery” cars than anyone else, and is one of the brands closest to making solid state batteries a thing. EVs are all about batteries. Just because they aren’t pumping out $70k BEVs doesn’t mean they are “behind”.

I would say Carl Hiaasen’s got the inspiration for his next book, but he’s already done one that begins with “shenanigans on a cruise ship”

Thankfully, this owl is safe after getting to spend some time away from Florida.

He’s a bit of a jackass, which you need to be to be able to become champion.

Hey I’m Dutch and I don’t even like the guy. He’s a bit of a jackass, which you need to be to be able to become champion. I’m usually rooting for the underdog, so I hope Leclerc can get something done this year. Also I like a bit of a fight in a championship, not that one driver checks out at the start of the…

There are thousands in this world who mistake overthinking for brilliance, then waste their time trying to prove it. If you’re in an arena among some of the greatest engineers assembled in your field, and you’re the only one doing something for an extended period of time, you’re likely overthinking it.

Well, Mercedes did lose a lot of engineers to both Red Bull and Aston Martin in the last couple of years. That has to have some effect.

Second, fifth, or dead last, all are still losers.

Second, fifth, or dead last, all are still losers. When you want to win just copying the best car is a surrender. You have to do something different to beat them. Mercedes isn’t Aston, they won’t be happy with second, so they tried something different.

I’d say that Lewis is a bit of a baby, but shit, listen to the man when he tells you what to fix. His résumé is pretty stacked. Also, I’m hoping for anybody to be able to beat Max. Not because I dislike Max but because I hate to see that wife-beating c*nt Jos Verstappen have any kind of joy in his life. 

She was speaking off the cuff, and using colloquial English. “Blind” is often used in the sense of “not perceiving”, even if the thing not being perceived is not visual, just as “taste” is used for aesthetic preferences that have nothing to do with food. No one actually failed to understand what she meant, including…

You might disagree with her but Chaka Khan is a legend and a tremendous singer (and is on the list herself), so sight vs. hearing notwithstanding, her opinion is of some interest.

There’s a great section in White Fragility about this very thing.

>>State Rep. Brad Sherman (R, duh) sponsored both measures, but said they don’t mean queer people can’t believe in marriage. “If they want to call their relationship a marriage, they are free to do so; that is freedom,” Sherman told NBC News via email. “But, by the same token, people who do not define same-sex unions…

It was originally destined to be a spec unit bolted onto a purpose-designed 2.4L engine. The new engine formula was meant to be more powerful, more efficient, and louder (better sounding). Because Indycar couldn’t attract a 3rd engine manufacturer, they had to revert to carrying the now decade-old 2.2L engines even…

It’s giving “I’m a hot girl, but I love pizza just like a regular incel! subscribe below!” vibes to me

I think 3 was a nice recovery over the overstuffed 2.

Probably raised in a barn with all the other primitives.

Something must be wrong with you. You should try again.

Honda, we are looking forward to 2015.
