The giant tablet haphazardly slapped onto the dash is the biggest intersection between "things manufacturers think look expensive" and "things a poor person would do to act rich" in recent memory. 

Me literally collapsing on the ground as my left hand literally types on its own without my input reads as... serious?

I gotta work on my satire, then!

Or, look at it this way, you paid ONLY the price of a truly shitty TV or laptop for the privilege of driving about 1000 km all over Europe. I’m pretty sure I know which I’d pick.

of time when I was in college, I had a 1995 Alfa Romeo 164LS that I would affectionately refer to as “Pandora’s Box.”

The Car.......

The weird part is that the enforcement has actually caused more disruption to the businesses. People used to show up by 7:30 a.m. and leave by 9-9:30. Sone (a tiny percentage) of businesses would start opening up around 9 or so and the people visiting would patronize them. I’m not sure Starbucks is complaining, with…

I feel attacked. I do build my own computers but I take my coffee black. So there!

Nissan is already planning to ditch CHAdeMO for CCS in the next update of the leaf. Other new Nissan EVs are going straight to CCS.

You mean like the $1 Billion in assets, or $100 Million in capital gains in three consecutive years threshold that’s in the bill? Something like that? So this bill would only impact 700 people in the entire country and not come even remotely close to affecting any non-Musk/non-Bezos or their ilk?

I’m not saying it’s a good idea - but your examples don’t work.  The linked article specifically noted that principle residences (so, your house), and 401ks would be exempted.  

There is absolutely no plan to tax the 401k of middle class Americans, full stop. The threshold for the tax is tens of millions of dollars, but thanks for the scare tactics.

I can’t tell if saying GM would get back to being its old self was meant as a good thing.

I work with a couple guys that really know engines.

Move fast and break things is fucking stupid.

Ugh thank you.

ALL of these automated systems, every single one in every market and industry, rely on two things: nothing ever, EVER goes wrong and if when it does, there is a competent person whose job is to make it right.

I get these as rentals regularly. I don’t see that they really need a refresh. They are unique on the market at this point, the tooling is long paid for, they are very reasonably priced and pretty nice to drive with a reasonable level of modern conveniences. Just leave well enough alone.

Oh I know. We have them here.

it doesnt work like that. everyone on the highway watched that. you dont expect the entire highway on both sides in that area to come to a stop and 400 people to give a statement do you? its asinine. the people involved in the accident will give all the witness statements they need.

The question is not whether the factory could pollute drinking water in case of a technical failure, but how high the probability of an accident is and if there are sufficient safety measures. Environmental campaigners gained further motivation a few months ago when a report paid for by Tesla found that storage of…
