I kind of like it, in terms of the writing. As information to decide whether or not to see a movie it’s terrible but the display of verbal gymnastics to avoid imparting either facts or opinions is almost worth the time spent.

I learned to drive in one of those. Imagine how slow it would have been with an automatic. 

My guess is that neither the compression or the boost require high octane but that this tune advances the ignition timing so much it’ll detonate on anything less than race gas. That might explain why the horsepower and torque peaks are so high in the RPM range despite this being a supercharged engine. Either that or…

The big difference is testosterone so I wonder how HRT affects people’s driving behaviors?

All deaths are banal. Pathos at best. Yours, mine, everyone’s. Because we’re all going to die anyway. Might as well mourn a spent candle as someone you don't actually know.

Is Barsanti still employed?

I do remember DOS. Windows was out when my family got our first PC but the family friend who set it up for us refused to install it until I demonstrated that I could use the command line and Norton Commander to his satisfaction. That wasn’t fun for a 9 year old but it did teach me the basics of computing in a more…

Let’s just make modular, stackable manufactured homes, improve the quality and decrease the cost by savings vs onsite construction and update zoning and financing regulations as necessary.

He won't think that when the Chinese retaliate and make Teslas twice as expensive over there. That's one of their biggest markets. 

Even if I could stand listening to his accent I still wouldn’t. He's a walking collection of "I heard from some guy" car advice. He even puts up thumbnails of himself in black and white with a caption like ‘goodbye’. Pretty sure this is clickbait for people who hope he’s retiring or has died.

Thanks. It sounds like they could have made them workable but they would have needed a trained technician to operate and maintain the equipment. And definitely a design that didn’t involve releasing a trigger to start a process rather than the other way around.

Please forgive my ignorance of electronics but couldn’t they have just used heavier gauge cables and components rated for higher loads? What makes EV charging different from other high voltage applications? 

That was a quick way for him to lose all credibility, huh? Now I put him in the same category as Scotty Kilmer: old men saying whatever it takes to keep the money rolling in. Although Kilmer is better because at least half of his audience knows he’s a joke.

Why is the actor who seems to be playing a leather clad version of the Tin Man hideously ugly? That character's flaw is supposed to be lacking a heart, not possessing the face of Alfred E Neuman. Also, the leather. Is this Tin Man a biker or perhaps a BDSM enthusiast?

Yeah man, good actors are nuts. Turns out that when the job is pretending to be someone you’re not the people who are good at it tend to have a few screws loose when it comes to being bolted into a secure identity. No surprise that some of them act weird. There's really no need to take it seriously unless they're…

Planning ahead of time is Un-American. We would build the restaurants inside train cars and carry them about so we can eat on a whim. Pinnacle of capitalism? Please. They clearly haven't made the connection between impulse spending, instant gratification and spending addiction. Do they even encourage their citizens to…

The earliest example of this in fiction that I can recall offhand is Asimov’s short story “The Last Question” but there are almost certainly similar ideas from before that, I’m just not as up on pre-WWII science fiction. There’s a lot of works, new and old, exploring the concept if you’re interested.

I think you’re correct. If they had known/remembered the real person they would have said “the activist and not the actress who played her, Julia Roberts” or something similar. This sort of thing is why editing is important. It’s not just finding spelling errors and grammatical mistakes, it’s a pool of knowledge if…

If he really got tapeworms in his brain then they are still there and may still be alive. If dead, they do not decompose in the brain but calcify, like little pebbles. Scans can warn of their possible presence but the only sure way to verify their presence or absence, or if they’re still alive, is to section the brain…

That they found a micro rate so much higher than the presumed average does support the idea that the problem is undercounted. The small sample size and lack of a broad sample, since a clinic is a source, make their data pretty much unusable as anything other than a point of comparison. The true rate remains somewhere…
