5th:

The point is that it’s like cutting the speedometer cable on a car. It’s going to be detectable almost immediately, and doesn’t prevent a competent person from safely operating the vehicle in a pinch. But unlike a car, pitot tube obstructions mid-flight are common enough that A: Pilots are aware of and need to account…

1) Pull up to the pump

“The Dark Corner” is a fun film noir. 1946 Lucille Ball FTW.

To be honest, even if she leaked what color socks he wore, she should be fired. Unless she is leaking something proves corruption or other wrongdoing, she is really not trustworthy. 

And this people is why we cant have nice things. When it started Uber was a side gig for people that already have jobs to make a few bucks on the side. Then a bunch of people decided to do it full time and bitch about how the system doesn’t work as they assume it should. Uber/Lyft didnt do anything to discourage this…

So this is an at-will gig where you pick your own hours, have no barrier to entry besides owning a car, have no interview process, and can quit whenever you want with no repercussions and you make $30/hour. What exactly are people complaining about?

You’re talking about venture capitalists. they don’t care if it makes money. they want to invest and bail, get bought out. If they can’t bail it is a tax shelter.

For me, that’s the WHOLE problem with the Tesla story.... there’s no proven business in any of it yet, is there? The cars are a loss-leader, the roof is a concept, the SuperChargers are a loss leader.

And does the Albertsons run wiring to all 500 stalls in the parking lot? What about apartment dwellers parking over at the mall for access?

Sounds as if you’re referring to the Vision Zero B.S.  Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has been a major proponent of this initiative.  Their focus is reducing speed limits (forget 85th percentile) to ~30 or ~20 mph in urban areas.  Boston came on board (using 25 mph limits), increased ticket revenues by 47%…

We really should just be working in the other direction: Get rid of cities entirely. They don’t make sense, cramming a ton of stuff into not enough space.

This cyclist is a danger and shouldn’t be allowed on the road. When I lived in the city I cycled exclusively for years, commuting to work in similar conditions. The problems here are the equipment. The cyclist has no brakes, and skinny, slick tires. I had well tuned front and rear breaks with good fresh pads, and…

Stupid, anyone can invent some restriction whether reasonable or not that potentially cuts down on emissions and manufacture some broad extrapolation that comes up with a big impressive sounding number of barrels, or tons, or cars. “Yeah totally because big number take away freedom, sounds good man.”

While we’re at it, let’s get rid of all that unnecessary idling sitting at red lights by banning those too.

If we’re talking Hal Holbrook and knowing limitations, shouldn’t the bus have exploded by now?

The term legacy automaker always makes me cringe. I've only ever heard Tesla fanatics use it, so that's probably why, but it immediately makes me think the person who said it is a bit biased.

I guess you didn’t know we have alligators around here. Look — they dragged your extension cord onto the hood and chewed it all up into little pieces!

Tow? If that’s my property, that’s an immediate tie the other end into my 2-phase 220 outlet, grab a beer and watch the fun.

Don’t worry Ford dealerships will ensure it does with their “Market pricing” ADM Bullshit
