Friendly neighborhood IP attorney here - Ford files for design patent protection of different aspects of their vehicle design frequently. For example, their most recently issued design patent is for a lower grille that looks like the grille on the current gen mustang. Also, they won a decision against the Automotive…

It’s not even rural my mom lived in a subdivision and regularly saw deer. The only time seeing a deer this time of year is an edge case is in the middle of LA or NYC. Hell I almost nailed a huge buck less than 2000 feet from a major highway near a huge grocery store complex and subdivisions.

Living in a rural area, and it being late October, I would hardly call a deer in the road an edge case. I’ve probably seen as many of them driving this week as I have red lights.

The car did alert after hitting the deer, it just alerted RFK, Jr. to come pick up the carcass and dispose of it in Central Park. That’s the new protocol. 

I had to re-read the title to see it wasnt the Rivian HQ!

It’s great for lubrication of external, cool, metal on metal contact. It’s hell for internal, warm or hot, metal on metal contact. That lovely “seasoning” you get on pans kicks in fast, and sets a hard crust everywhere. Cleaning it is a nightmare, and it gums things like musical instrument valves in a matter of days…

You nailed it. These people want to be outraged... anything to punch down on to justify their own, miserable existence.

Maybe one day the “anti-woke” crowd will realize that most of the internet today is posting shit literally to just to upset them for clicks. It’s actually incredible how much of social media is some person who got popular for baking bread or underwater welding getting clicks and comments for posting a stolen…

I just KNOW this time he will be right!

The robot wasn’t actually folding laundry, it was being tele-controlled by a human folding laundry, it was just doing what the human was doing.

And midsized crossovers are a necessity?

Basically the price went up because some previously optional features became standard.

Hey, so Apple says the Macbook Pro uses a “72.4-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery” which is not what we’re talking about here. They use a solid state disc drive, maybe that’s what you’re thinking about?

Nailed it.

I’ve said before that Tesla’s biggest advantage was the Supercharger network, but since that’s been opened up to anyone, people who want an EV are no longer funneled to Tesla.

No matter what you think of the truck or anyone who buys them, yelling profanities at him, giving the guy the finger and spitting on/scratching his property makes you as bad if not worse of a person.

Saw one in the Costco parking lot yesterday. They look so much worse in person. 

It pains me to say it but Lutz was spot on with his assessment. Especially considering Pontiac was just hitting their stride again after years of mostly crap...having just released the G8, which- yes, it was a Holden rebadge- but it was a pretty fuckin’ killer performer and a great value to boot.

Sure, Tesla employs people. Sure, they were important to getting the EV movement started. But at this point they’ve gotten so complacent and listen to so many of Musk’s bad ideas that they need to be called out on it.

I don’t think I’ve done either of those things you’ve accused me of in this article.
