In 2011-14 used to fly UA857 from SFO to Shanghai, Pudong every couple of months (sometimes a lot more frequently). It used to drive me crazy that this 13 hour flight was on an old, noisy 747 with just a few CRTs handing from the ceiling for entertainment.

I keep reading the news, and get annoyed that I’m hearing spoilers for the third season of The Man in the High Castle. Then I realize I’m not, and I get really furious.

When’s it coming out for the iPhone? iOS 11 sucks! :-(

I was born in 1968. Now, which piece should I throw away... hmm?

There was some kind of bug causing multiple copies of the images. Then it wouldn’t allow me to edit it.

I meant 2004.

I meant 2004. The Elise came out in the USA in 2005 (I have a 2007). The Tesla Elise was not a US-legal car.

I see the image, but something is wrong with the comment system’s image posting right now. I see multiple copies of the same image in a post I just made.

Rover isn’t quite dead. The ashes were purchased by Chinese car maker SAIC Motor in 2006. They modified the name to Roewe, and now sell as a luxury brand in China. I see some most times I’m over there.

It sounds like that is a corruption of the true story.

This is why the police need more military hardware! :-S

Do any of these NOT have a plastic coating on the inside (most have a thin plastic layer). My pregnant wife is concerned about plastic coatings and hot drinks, and she has a point. Even where they’re removed BPA, it’s typically been replaced with something like bisphenol S, which is another estrogenic chemical, that’s…

Musk has a bad record when it comes to keeping the first of his cars. The original Telsa Mule 1 (a modified 2004 Lotus Elise) was sold off when Tesla nearly ran out of money. It ended up in the hands of my Lotus mechanic.

Coincidentally, while visiting Motorola Mobility, I met the guy who while previously working for…

Bonus points for using “Manichean” in a Gawker article! Thank you for not dumbing down.

Beric Dondarrion still being alive is a big departure from the books. I won’t go in to the details, apart from saying Lady Stoneheart.

It’s an example of the Tragedy of The Commons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons

Of course in general poachers who kill the last examples of a species are rarely aware of the fact. It’s usually only decades later, that scientists agree the species is gone.

But even if they did know that the last…
