Nobody would be complaining if Chase Elliott won the championship in the same manner as Joey. The fans just flat don’t like Logano, and that’s on them. NASCAR and the France family flubbed it big time when they got rid of the Winston Cup points system in favor of a playoff format. Throwing the baby out with the…

NASCAR fan. Not entertained.

the American need for playoffs in sports where everyone is always competing against everyone or true round robins are played is dumb, never more so than in NASCAR.

MAGA’s complete disconnect with reality on this issue is insane

Thank you, came straight down here to say this. I work in the energy field, and MAGA’s complete disconnect with reality on this issue is insane.

Trumpanzee’s don’t care about facts, they only care about their feelings.

tRump is an idiot and a traitor, so is anyone that supports him.  I don’t care how many mouth breathing fucking morons voted for him.

Facts, shmacts. You can use facts to prove anything that’s remotely true.

“We will restore US energy dominance”

Elon is reminding me of Henry Ford. When I first learned about Henry, he was an amazing innovator who created the assembly line and paid his working a high wage. Way to go Henry! Then I found out he thought the Nazis were on the right track with fascism. And that he published and distributed worldwide an astonishingly…

Just to add, he didn’t found Tesla, either despite Tesla’s About page.

I’m just hoping that the horrors that they have planned are muted by what is sure to be incompetence and infighting at every level. 

Add Tesla to that list. Musk didn’t found Tesla either; he was the money guy who threw out the founders after and bullied them via a lawsuit into making him a co-founder.

petabyte(bit)/second hasn’t anything to do with the transmission propagation rate, it has to do with the transmission bandwidth. Transmission delay has to do with the transmission propagation rate; as you noted, latency.

For both PayPal and SpaceX, his $$$ buyin agreements specified that he was to be referred to as a “founder”, even though he came along after both were operating. So, his narcissism fits right in with the incoming administration.

So we’re just realizing that Elon is dumb as a stump?

the next 4 years will be awesome, I can already tell!

Adding a few thousand bucks to the price of two of the best-selling cars in America is surely an easy way to piss off the people that voted for you and your pledge to make America affordable once again.

Nissan used to be the Japanese brand you bought if you wanted reliability and couldn’t afford a Toyota. Then slowly but surely they degraded their product line, cut costs and shipped cars with shockingly high transmission failure rates. On top of that, they kept reskinning their sports car and mid sized truck to the…

They are caught in a doom spiral that is the inevitable result of cost cutting. Cost cutting leads to less R&D and cheaper feeling vehicles, which leads to needing to tap subprime and fleet sales to move metal (upmarket buyers don’t want dated cheap-feeling vehicles). The subprime and fleet sales keep the cash coming…
