UMM. It was CARB that caught VW in the lies it told CARB and EPA.

Not only did I LOL, I made weird snorting noises. Thank you, sir.

You’re just plain wrong about SpaceX.  It provides more and gets paid less than its competitors in ISS related services.

“So, we’re supposed to believe Teslas will be capable of full-self driving in all conditions by next year even though, by the following year, a safety driver will be needed for a .8-mile tunnel with a dedicated right-of-way, the single simplest application of self-driving that could possibly exist.”

If they’re not on Putin’s payroll, they should be. Confusing and enraging the gullible and getting people to doubt real news by flooding the world with lies has been the Kremlin MO for decades.

Sometime I think he knows he’s lying. Other times, he seems to have himself convinced that, since he keeps on saying it, it must be true.

Not a lot of sympathetic characters to root for. Maybe the teachers?

It really sucks that, between them, the illustration for this article and the one photo featuring a human, show three scooter riders, one bike rider and zero helmets. Riding with a helmet is required by all of these companies’ terms, Bird gives away free helmets (or at least it gave away when I got mine), and it’s…

Now, THAT’s dirty.

Gum spots freak you out?  If so, please don’t lick our sidewalks.  And the sand in some of the pictures is because they were taken on Venice BEACH.  Sand happens on beaches, unless they’re really terrible beaches.

You think it’s awesome that people are expressing their resentment of a legal business by trying to injure or kill its customers?

With a diesel Not-a-Flamethrower?

Of course it won’t be profitable. Why would people go there? There is literally essentially nothing you can on the surface of Mars that you can’t do less expensively on the surface of Earth with a tiny fraction of the capital investment, other than Mars-specific things like exploring the surface of Mars or building…

“Mars doesn’t have fossil fuels.” Probably not.  More importantly, there is no free oxygen in the atmosphere to burn fossil fuels with. 

Yes and sometimes tunnels are dug in two directions at once. But deploying 10 machines at once is a bit harder.

When you think about it, .05 in/s is 3 inches per minute or 15 feet per hour.  For digging a tunnel, that sounds pretty fast to me.  35 miles isn’t far when you’re flying over it, but it’s a really, really long way if you’re digging.

[citation needed], liar.

Eh.  Tunneling is expensive, but the fundamental point of it is that you don’t generally need a new ROW.  It can go under existing roads or tracks and, in some cases under existing buildings.  You need surface land for entry and exit of tunneling equipment, stations, and any other ventilation and emergency exit…

SpaceX has a totally viable business. It may spend itself into bankruptcy trying to go beyond that business, but if it does, after reorganization, the new management will have no trouble running it as a profitable business using assets that it already has. Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy work and, whether or not current…

Thanks for explaining the situation with actual facts.
