You are an entropy master.

There used to be a lot of racetracks in the area. Now there is one or two. Not just drag strips, we had a NASCAR track, and at least two road racing tracks too.

I’m visiting Minnesota right now. Where going 20 miles, takes 20 minutes instead of an hour and a half. If you live in Minnesota, even the crowded Twin Cities,…

I like the DB11, even the rear. But then I’m not ever going to buy one new, so my opinion doesn’t really matter. The ONLY opinion that should ever matter to a car maker, is the buyer who buys a car brand new. Because that’s the only time the car maker makes money on a car purchase.

I was on a cross country motorcycle trip with eight friends and on a two lane near Wichita, a pair of A-10s snuck up behind us fast and low, and buzzed us. They were maybe 25-35 above ground level going at least 250 knots. They were so close we could see the fasteners holding the armor on. The A-10s were nearly…

I tell you whut, those things can’t sneak up on you. You can hear them 3 miles away.

We’ve never had to worry about black helicopters. It’s the black A-10s and cruise missiles you have to worry about.

I see those things landing and taking off from my front porch when Obama comes to town to raise money. Kinda cool when you see them fairly close up.

I remember when we only got Chinooks and Sikorskys.

I can’t remember the last time a presidential candidate came to LA to actually try and get votes. Pretty sure, not since…

Because they buy those things because they don’t have Italian Car Reliability Problem reputations?

Or it needs to be cheaper. Which it is getting, year by year. What you state is a concern, but it’s maybe 5 down the list. It’s the biggest concern to a third hand owner, but by that time 3rd party batteries will be available from Autozone or O’Reilly.

You have fewer moving parts and less heat degradation of sensors…

Li-Ion batteries will improve, but only so much. Just as NiMH batteries before them, and NiCad before them and lead acid before them. Next up, maybe Magnesium-ion, aluminum ion, graphene batteries, or something unannounced. It looks like they might be overcoming the major materials obstacles.

Long car journeys, and lenghty by time bumper to bumper commutes in the hot sun where the air conditioning completely dries our your mouth.

German cars didn’t start getting cupholders, until Germans started getting stuck in bumper to bumper traffic in the burbs.

It’s all about the batteries. By 2024, batteries are predicted to be half the cost and twice the power that they are today. Still not cheap enough, still not enough storage. But by 2034, the capacity will double again, the price half agains. So then you’re getting 4 times the storage, for 1/4th the price.

I would…

I think it should be called the “Bat Plane”.

They didn’t schedule their production for China because they have respect for labor laws or even labor morality. It’s true, they’ve tried to institute changes in their contractors, but that was only after it was publicized that their contractors use slave labor.

Apple had the chance to keep this under their control. Now they’ve given the FBI and other intelligence agencies, a lot more motivation to create more robust cracking departments. The intelligence agencies might succeed, if they drop their “no pot use on your own time” policies.

In the meantime, Apple collects data on you and sells it to the highest bidder, with no hint of irony.

I don’t think actual statistics bear out the statement in the first place. You’d have to go not by the number of accidents divided by number of riders, because you need to account for people who have multiple accidents. It has to be the number of accidents divided by unique riders.

The truth is, the longer you ride,…

If someone kills a cop, they are charged with a capital crime. As they should be.

Because “white lives” already matter more than black lives. “Black lives matter” really means “Black lives matter as much as white peoples”.

Not ashamed. It’s not a movie, it’s a documentary. Donald Trump’s success in his candidacy is your sign. The general success of the modern Republican party is your other sign.

Simple? The systems have to be backward compatable for phones that are generations old, and the lead time for production means they aren’t tested on this year’s phones before they go to production.
