I think the general idea of using insurance rates (or any private enterprise) as a means of regulating public safety is a bad one. As long as car insurance is a for profit business, we don’t need the government giving them a simple reason to price gouge everyone. Look up car insurance costs in Michigan to see what…

but what is super speeding?

The US government already does something along those lines: https://www.npr.org/2022/11/26/1139258274/us-ban-tech-china-huawei-zte. I’ve also seen a few states attempt to block Chinese businesses from buying land, but as far I know those were unsuccessful. When I was in Washington State, it failed because of the laws…

A bigger variety of BEVs in general. Our DDs are basically new ICE that we’ll be set with for a while, but I figured my next car purchase will be a BEV. I still have 6+ years until the kids start getting licensed, so I’d like to see the proliferation continue so I can get them a used one when that comes and then…

I’m enjoying this new recurring theme. 

I think smaller scale, grounded stories as a whole are something the MCU needs to return to. I generally like all of the movies and will remain a comic nerd, but they need a little more Iron Man, Captain America 1, Thor 1 isolated style stories if they want to “build up” a new phase. The current phase feels like they…

In all honesty, being the face of multiple huge investments (PayPal, SpaceX, & Tesla) and getting both the government and just about any major investor to flood you with mountains of money are skills that he appears to be really good at. Not many people hit more than one of those levels of monetary returns, let alone…

but Florida

They’ve evolved to Florida Car...

Trump’s twitter was one of those things that I hated and wanted to stop, but I also don’t want the regular actions of POTUS just being ignored, especially when they are so deranged. I’m back to the same feeling where I don’t want that news cycle to return, but I also don’t want to be completely uninformed about one of …

but that can be bumped to “470+ miles” with a “range extender”

Infiniti is where you go for this. They do a good job at compromising on each of those and their lack of demand keeps the price down. 

Fancy faux bricks? I’ve had to deal with historical streets that use actual bricks (and having to special order new bricks that match those old one), but don’t think I’ve dealt with faux brick roads. Something like this? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2014/07/16/these-fake-brick-crosswalks-may-be-be…

F&WS did well

It wasn’t the mentor role that annoyed me, it was more the general aspect that they removed pretty much all of the personal struggles by letting everyone know who he is, which kinda reduces it to more of a basic action movie. Other than losing Tony in a non-Spiderman movie, he was able to just work with all of his…

That is actually one of the benefits to doing tunnels. Get them deep enough, and you could just shoot straight lines across miles of urban settings. Downtown Houston has walking tunnels that interconnect a bunch of the buildings, so the streets routinely look devoid of people during busy lunch hours. Regardless, that…

I’m pretty sure that at this point, the only things he’s proven to be good at are risky investments, obtaining investment cash, and shit posting online. 

would build one mile of tunnel per week

I can only access the comment section of about half the articles I go to, just through the poor functionality of all these sites.

Exactly this. You don’t accept an executive position with Musk and repeatedly defend him because you’re a good person. She wants money and will spout an BS needed to make all the money she possibly can until this finally falls through and then go look for the next pile of money. Highly doubtful anything else matters…
