Regarding your last point:

When each car sells for over $200,000 (I think?), a company can afford to take a few extra steps for quality. Other companies wish they could be so meticulous, but in the non-luxury world the margins are much thinner so costs have to be cut wherever they can be.

Accordion to who?

2 or 3 wrenches and it could have been a permanent fix.

You know what? Screw it, I love it. The world needs cars designed less by silly notions like aerodynamics and crash safety standards, and more moxy and because-I-can attitude. Also, it’s called a crunk. That adds at least a few jalop points in my book.

It’s a bit unsettling. So much of the national narrative around Dick Cheney has centered on him as an unfeeling, heartless, Machiavellian archetype. Weird to see him and the rest of the leadership looking both so lost and so human. Kind of a reminder that, despite partisan discord and the political lenses we put these…

Next week: Ballaban pees on the guy.

Ballaban: TEN TEN TEN TEN TEN. Funny, concise, clever without appearing too scripted.

I like it. It is almost as good as the recent Mazda one.

They really thought outside the box on this one.

Yes, have to have union representation. Driving up your manufacturing costs is always good for business.

I’d take it! I nominated it.

Cool Sharpie, bruh.

The only thing I can think to say to this is:

There are things we know that we know. There are thing we know that we don't know. But most importantly, there are things that we know we do not know. Those are the ones that frighten me.

Last I've checked some Macbook pros have Samsung LED displays and iPhones have Samsung processors.

That's actually not a gun, it's a telescopic dashcam.
