Tesla doesn’t spend money on marketing, but that, itself, is marketing, as is its CEO living out his strange public life.

If these end up being popular in Seattle, it’s entirely possible someone will get their small burger loving friends together, and go out to get some Dicks in their eBussy.

Eh, it’s alright, but I still miss TaxTheRich. That dude knew how to send it.

If this happens because you pass Ken Block, half the drivers in the WRC would be upside down.

Similar, but not the same - Roofing torches have a broader nozzle, and give a longer flame. But it’s pretty much identical in concept, just a long pipe with a nozzle on one end and a standard gas fitting on the other.

Well, “Making” - The Boring company “Flamethrower” was also an alibaba special. It was a cheap, generic Airsoft gun housing which can be bought for literally a couple bucks a unit, with a propane roofing torch(which can also be had for pretty cheap from alibaba wholesale) stuffed inside. Even buying the parts… Read more

It’s true, moving forward, they have no other option.

It seems that, true to form, NASCAR has taken a turn to the left.

“No officer, I was just charging my car, I swear!”

I’m still driving a 1990 Nissan Vanette - with the, as you put it, more reasonable nose. Mine is the C20 rather than the C22, but it doesn’t make a huge difference, and hand on heart, not a word of a lie, it’s one of the most fun, enjoyable vehicles I’ve ever driven.

No, not really. He was heavily involved(Even if not alone) in the Research and development process, and nobody could say he didn’t put in more than his fair share of the work. Jobs had a small, abstract hand in the engineering side, but was primarily a businessman and a marketer - Edison, on the other hand, was very… Read more

While that’s true, it does undersell it a little bit - previous light-bulbs before that were a curiosity, a science toy. The longest-lasting bulb at the time was expensive, and only good for a few hours at most, once, and they coated the inside of the bulb in a sooty film that rapidly made them useless even before… Read more

Hm. If it is real, let’s hope Grimes has a better ability to meet deadlines than Elon, or else that baby won’t be born till 2025.

Yeah, fair play. Honestly, I’ve kind of forgotten what goes where - I’ve not watched Roadkill since they went over to Motortrend on Demand, as much as I love the show, I can’t afford another 12-ish bucks a month(6usd, but but local currency is a bit weak at the moment) for another streaming service, that realistically… Read more

Not sure its nessassarily fair including Blasphemi on that list, considering it’s Finnegan’s personal drag car more than a Roadkill car, but you’re still right, a lot of the roadkill vehicles are basically “We took this absolute piece of shit, and threw the cost of a new car’s worth of parts at it.”

Or, Rotten Tomatoes is a site with public reviewing which is trivially gamed, which makes it extremely easy-to review-bomb titles that internet shoutymen have some sort of issue with, or for them to push reviews up for titles they like, regardless of quality.

I’m mostly just annoyed that everything is left-justified now. There’s seriously six inches of just white space on the right of my screen, with the article jammed off onto the left of the screen.

At one point, IIRC, he’s also shown owning a Aston DB4 and a Bently Continental Flying Spur, and definitely has a fleet of cars.

In the first series of Iron Fist, the Meachums. They’re billionares, running a multi-billion dollar corporation, and they drive lowest-trim Hyundais. Not just as fleet cars, but as their own personal vehicles. Not even leather seats, nothing.

IIRC, the only expensive car that shows up among them is Danny’s Aston… Read more

Might be a weird question, but I wonder if established characters can play the new light intro? I never got to play D1, so doing the reworked intro mission would be nice, just to get that little refreshed version of the experience and see something new(or, new to me), but I also don’t want to wipe one of my toons just… Read more
