I almost got rear ended by an idiot in a Tesla yesterday going about 80 down a 45MPH road.  He was about a quarter of a mile before the light, I turned right onto the same road, and made it about 100 yards down the road before he whooshes past me (I was up to 45MPH by this time) blaring his horn, zipping around me and…

Bill Clinton didn’t campaign on “draining the swamp”.

Motherfucker, PLEASE. The book isn’t anti-autonomous cars at all. I fucking WISH writing anti-Tesla articles made one tiny bit of difference on book sales. It doesn’t. And I’m not anti-Tesla. But if this is your reaction to this story, perhaps you should seek out your clergyperson or a trusted relative. Maybe a…

I’m a happy Tesla owner and my car hasn’t had any issues in 10k miles of ownership. However. If this happens to me, any “brand loyalty” goes out the window. If you wanna make your car dependent on a single screen for basically every function including the speedometer, you better fucking make sure that screen works.

One of my more “freedom”-oriented coworkers sent me a message today saying he’d be working from home for the next couple of weeks because he and his wife went out of state for Christmas to go somewhere that wasn’t so “locked down”, and now they’re both awaiting the results of covid tests because they’re symptomatic.…

And because the chips Elon puts in his fan’s heads makes them.

Good, how do we stop them coming back though.

The belief that Apple will ever make a car, and furthermore that Apple’s success in consumer electronics could possibly translate to the auto industry, has been the dumbest fucking narrative in tech for more than a decade. There are so many ways it will never happen it’s not even worth laying them all out. 

In Singapore. That’s good news for Singapore, but this reporting is about the U.S.

How can people be sofa king stupid that they can’t do without a holiday vacation or visit for one fucking year?

If World War II had happened with the selfish population of today that’s unwilling to lift a single goddamn finger for the greater good, we’d have had our asses kicked.

“Life goes on. Whatever we need to keep going, it is what it is,” said Clovis resident Claudia Winton. “We’ll take caution and stay out of crowded places. The kids need to have fun.”

A huge chunk of this country has not and continues to not learn a goddamn thing about this situation.

This is why I don’t generally like people. Ffs people. 

I propose he spins it another way. Put it as part of the Defense Budget. Make it part of the national defense strategy that we will not rely on counties that vow to destroy us to power our military by 2024. This would make the Rs vote for it, otherwise he can campaign on Rs wanting to keep our troops dependent on OPEC…

1st Gear: Depending on how ruthless Biden wants to be, he could probably fracture the Republican Party by leaning on onshore wind and utility scale solar, both of which will be needed to help power EVs. Those are major industries in red states, and if McConnell tries to block supporting them, that might finally be…

What kind of neighbors are going to be impressed with a 17 year-old bottom-tier luxury car?  I don’t want to live in that neighborhood. 

More hospitable by having children mining rare earth metals? Or more hospitable but putting more strain on the e-grid, which is mostly fed by fossil fuels? More hospitable by injecting batteries into the public with no plans to have a recyling program (hence the fine in Germany)? Or more hospitable by having to deal…

Wow, I am super disappointed in Canada now. Scotland beat us at our own thing.

Just remember: despite a murderous accent, they did actually invent the language, or were subjugated by those who did, depending on who you ask.
