Maybe he has Trump-like negotiating skills?

Gatling guns must always fire depleted uranium projectiles.  Always.

Isn’t he in that new movie, something to do with ‘knives?’

Yeah. As much as I liked ‘Breaking Bad’ the ending, with the machine gun mounted on a rotating platform in the trunk of a car mowing down all the bad guys was a little hard to believe.  But a dead Heisenberg, with Badfinger’s ‘Baby Blue’ on the soundtrack made up for it.

OT, but one of my annoyances—I have many—is in the movie ‘San Andreas’ with The Rock. He has commandeered a Cessna Caravan—a large, single turbine-engined aircraft—but the foley people pipe in the sound of a large aircraft PISTON engine. Everything else is TOTALLY BELIEVABLE.

If I could swing it, I’d love to have an EV for the ‘commute,’ and having a real Mustang with one of these would be just the…

People buy from GM because of non-stop, insipid ‘Real People/JD Power’ commercials. Thought everybody knew that.

The SEC is pretty toothless these days.  Proof: Elon Musk is not in jail.

re: “... the installation of a 220V plug can be easy and cheap”

By law, you can’t ‘self serve’ in OR; although, older cars--prior to 1970 or so, I think, you can fill yourself--and most attendants would let me fill my Healeys if I asked nice (and no one was looking).
