I feel like this is going to produce the car that Homer Simpson came up with in that one episode, and I’m definitely here for it.

Yup, the housing market in particular. Can’t increase supply without building cheap housing somewhere, and no one seems to want it anywhere near them. “Historical preservation” of just about everything only makes this worse.

They’re thinking they won’t face any consequences for this type of thing, and they’re right.

Knowing one subject really, really well does not make one an intellectual.

I wonder if he’d sound less privileged speaking German.

It’s sad she felt the need to publicly flagellate herself because hacks like this author won’t shut the fuck up about it until she does.

All signs point to James May piloting the Cayman:

Welcome to government. Everything is important and worth doing as long as someone else is paying.

Mayweather was 50 pounds smaller than him on fight night, is 44 years old and hasn’t been a power puncher in 2 decades because his hands break easily. He used to punch harder, it was a deliberate career extending move on his part to do more point boxing/defense and that’s why he’s 50-0.

While true, it requires grip if you’d like to survive the ordeal. It can probably get you to 60 faster than 1.1s in the air, the tricky bit is getting you back on the ground alive in a vehicle that was never meant to go airborne.

Explosions? Fire coming out the back of the car? Sourcing rocket fuel? The entire purpose of EVs being to NOT burn shit for fuel anymore?

Exactly. I don’t doubt there’s a technical solution, just that they wouldn’t use the solution to my advantage at the expense of their wallet.

You know something is really far away from working when Elon won’t sell it to you now and promise to deliver it later.

Smoked chicken and catfish can also be quite good.

Maybe you’re not reading the stats exactly right. I’m not a statistician so maybe I’m not either, but here we go.

That’s because you’re actually solving a mulch problem instead of justifying “I like huge vehicles and sitting up high” without admitting that’s why you bought the damned thing.

I dunno, why did I get pulled over for speeding when I was just going with the flow of traffic in the passing lane? Everyone else in that lane was doing the same thing, but only I got punished. There was no data provided about why the cop decided I needed a ticket more than anyone else, and I doubt there ever will be.…

All vehicles are getting taller for a reason, and it’s not because people like low cars. I appreciate the thought, but I don’t think this particular “advantage” moves many units.

There is nothing so permanent as a temporary government program.
