Maybe not a blind eye, more like a clapping spectator. Side note - Minke whale sushi is delicious.

I loved sea world as a kid. Whether I read and read about sea life as a result, or I went there because I loved sea life I don't know. I also like the circus. I guess I'm a monster worse than hitler.

It's terrible. Just standing in line with 1K people got me annoyed, like they didn't deserve to be in front of me. And it's not like I did anything to deserve squat, I just flew a lot more than most people.

I hit Global Services twice, and I'll have to say I used to enjoy sneering at the lowly 1K losers.

if you were fired for having a picture of your partner in your desk it would be national news and the employer would be shamed into bankruptcy. And all the conservatives that say ignorant bullshit? Most of the time they lose their jobs over it.

yeah, I read it. Referring to an old anti sodomy law that's never enforced, or anecdotal incidents of bigots isn't across the board homophobia. Everybody loves to hate conservatives, and sure I like to get in on the fun too. But I really fucking hate liberals and the incessant whining.

This whole article is just anti-Texas bigotry. The idiotic presumption is that that Texans are homophobic.

Model X will be a bit more expensive than the S. I think you're thinking of the Model E - that's the cheaper version.

Whoa. Wonder when Google will buy this company.

I would definitely need to buy the 85kWh version, if not the performance version. I just couldn't live with myself otherwise. By the time you add anything to it you're over $85k.

That's strange - in Arizona we have a Tesla store, and I can buy and have delivered a Tesla from the website (I almost bought one, but somehow recovered from the temporary insanity of spending 100k on a car). Maybe I'm misunderstanding the direct-to-consumer issue.

The line must be drawn HERE!

Wow, and to think all the years I wasted eating non-human based matzo ball soup at Jerry's.

Former Californian here: Didn't California become a failed state and become like Mad Max several years ago? People still can go there?

I'm sure the workers voted in their self interest and saw through whatever nonsense was involved. I haven't followed the issue, but if I was a legislative official in Tennessee I would lobby against it too - a UAW presence would make it very hard to lure new companies who would invest in new plants and jobs. And let's…

You're confused because I completely made that up.

I think she's what you would call a "gay lesbian". One who likes to strap one on and give it to dudes in the ass.

It highly depends on the dealer. At Chrysler, the F&I guy for my minivan was a total cocksucker and highly contentious. He angrily said "WHY?" when I declined extended service, and even said my warranty would be void if I didn't bring the car in routinely for the normal service checkups and if I didn't get the oil…

Yeah, I agree and would say it's almost a given that there must be a two-speed EU. The question is what are the speeds? Northern versus profligate Southern? The "core" Europe versus periphery? The debate is sort of in flux on this as a result of the crisis.
