So some important person at Ford was thinking, “What should we name our EV division? We’ve got to compete with Tesla, and customers need to know that we’re competing with Tesla. If only there were some historical figure who was basically Tesla’s nemesis...”

346 people have been killed in 273 mass shootings in the US so far in 2017 (11680 is the total number of shooting deaths). Though the contrast with vehicular attacks in the US over the same period (1 death, in Charlottesville) is arguably an even more stark comparison than the one you’ve made.

If you don’t understand my argument, as you claim, how can you possibly say that it’s irrelevant?

I grew up in a household with guns. I know how to shoot and disassemble a weapon.

Forward looking statements are problematic - unless presented as being subject to uncertainties. So you can be pretty damn sure that what they told the world in terms of production forecasts was indeed what they were communicating internally as goals, that there was all sorts of guidance around uncertainties in the…

Elan?

They need to learn how to park in the center of a parking spot. If the pictures below by other posters are of the same car, the owner has some issues hugging that left line....

I saw a Model 3 yesterday for the first time. I admit here that I was unreasonably excited about to have seen it. And yet, the thing is still rare at this point in time, so it was a neat little moment when I finally figured out what that weirdly grille-less car coming toward me was.

I’m saying there are better tools, specifically designed for self-defense, that are better than the coward’s gun.

No shit. And the example gun is a fucking 1911. 1911's are notoriously finicky and are subject to failures to fire, failures to properly eject, and stove-piping even when made by people with experience making them. Many have certain brands of ammo and loads that they prefer, or they’ll exhibit the above failures.

I’m thinking that’s likely to backfire and leave you with a freakishly strong sumo cat that can just kick your ass and take your dinner if/when you get serious about putting it on a diet.

Or just some balls. When a cat acts like that when it wants food its because it learned doing that will get it food and wont result in punishment of any sort. People who feed their cats into obesity and then complain “oh but he gets mean if I dont feed him!” need to find their cat a new home and never have children of…

Indeed.

Wanting a thank you for meeting basic minimum standards of human decency means you have failed to meet those minimum standards. Men who do, they know they don’t need a thank you. So keep on trying and you might one day achieve the minimum standards of a decent human.

How about basic body autonomy? You have all male panels deciding women’s health care and whether or not they have access to medical care for female specific issues like pregnancy and abortion.

Pretty disgusting attitude to see displayed.

I’m pretty sure no one owes you a thank you for not assaulting them. Basically you want an award for mediocrity. Sounds about right. What a gross comment.

You sound triggered by those pussy hats.

What an odd thing to say. Do you think Kristen needs it explained not to her? Should women thank American men for being better?
