That first point is almost exactly what I was thinking as I scrolled through. Quantumania and GotG were both acceptable to me, which was certainly an improvement after Multiverse of Madness, Love & Thunder, and most of the D+ shows. With how annoying things were getting and generally blowback I see online, it almost…

I imagine that normalcy can be especially nice if you are able to bank a large sum from the fame. Then work/life can be more of a hobby after what is often the wild ride of fame.

There is a massive cliff between Apple promising the next iteration of a device they have routinely updated for 15 years and Elon promising literally anything. The truck may one day exist, but I expect Tesla to have about 10 other actual advancements before it does. 

The gigafactory has been building other models and most of the expansions on site have been for battery manufacturing. I remain doubtful about the truck, but the expansion for the chemical/battery processing would probably be much better for the company than that truck. 

Whenever we get big rains during winter in the south and then the temps drop a bunch overnight. Rains all day and then turns the road into a sheet of ice at night. The next morning, the roadways (especially Dallas it seems) become a Mad Max (ice) Fury Road. There are always major pile ups, so you never know when someon…

Showers were my biggest need until I moved to Texas. Then I simply had to decide that my life is worth more than the few grand I would save by not driving.

Toyotas are one of my disliked rental brand because of how much I hate their UI. It almost always seems to glitch out or freeze up more than any other brand. Depending on the car, I’ve needed to download and create a Toyota account to even get the phone to connect for all the android auto features. Despite having this…

Every union my clients use has been recruiting to fill various construction, plumbing, HVAC, and electric rolls. One client has partnered with their contractor to give free training to get more young people involved. I've done thousands of projects across the country and no union has intentionally limited their…

Unions rely on pensions. It’s in their best interest to have a full supply of workers after retirement to ensure those pensions hold strong. Membership is more limited by the supply of work than a union’s willingness to allow more members. The more worker from the more sectors that are union, means the ownership…

The logistics are a lot more about where the money will come from, how to spread the foundations to maintain mobility, maintenance, and what to do with the power. The engineering on these isn’t exactly high-end stuff. There are tons of canopies in liquid soils along the gulf coast.

An SUV becomes a “coupe” when half the trunk space and head room in the back seat gets cut off by a sloped hatch. 

Why not both?

Seeing as the general “SUV Coupe” design is one of the ugliest car shapes to have ever existed, that’s a pretty low bar to clear.

(he hadn’t really been in any movies and still didn’t have great name recognition)

While some of them may be closeted, I expect the majority are just simply bigots.

It does more accurately fall into a hybrid of modern wagon/SUV, but I think a lot people get reminded of the big 1950's style family wagons, so I see it more often called wagon than SUV by people who like it.

There were a bunch of those squat potties when I went to India, including one on a train that was just a hole to shit on the tracks. It was weird at first, but I would definitely prefer them over some of the awful toilets I’ve seen. It’s pretty easy to hose out those rooms, they were at least sanitary most of the…

I’m not aware of any major failings of the car from a reliability perspective. They are well praised in most car-centric circles as basically being such a good, big wagon. Non-car people that I know think they are ugly because they look/act too much like a wagon. I’ve had a few for rentals and rather liked them, but…

For the family on a budget, the Ford Flex remains one of the best deals for a used SUV. 

Top athletes (entertainers in general) have a much better argument for their salaries than just about any CEO. The biggest athletes in the world can actually be considered underpaid relative to the value they bring to their brand, especially in sports with a salary cap. Lebron literally changes the value of a…
