Versus what? Westinghouse had to declare bankruptcy due to AP1000 cost overruns in earlier projects and the four units they built in China are being reverse engineered and “improved” by their domestic industry, which we all know is controlled by the government.

That’s bunk. The rich emit the most carbon, the poor bear the most burden of climate change. Carbon taxes are deeply progressive.

Carbon taxes are pro-nuclear policy. If we had to pay the true cost of burning fossil fuels up-front, nuclear will be obviously cheaper. 

If you want to stop loss of institutional knowledge, create a single standardized design at the federal level and document the fuck out of it.

This. Given Tesla’s price cuts, they are somewhat attractive and very affordable for an EV now. But, I dislike the overreliance on touchscreens, the stupidity regarding AutoPilot/FSD, the random and horrid QC, and so much more, that I would pull the trigger on a Tesla only after these price cuts.

Until some massive breakthrough in energy production is developed, nuclear energy is our only viable way forward.

So much to unwrap here but Elon pretending to be his 3-year old son on Twitter and asking “Do you like Japanese girls?” is very creepy and very, very sad. Either he thought that was funny (which it’s not, it’s really weird) or he, who has multiple older children, thought that this is how a 3-year old person actually th…

If I had to choose a single word to describe Elmo’s understanding of... well... basically everything, “limited” is probably the most accurate one.

Musk is a fucking POS, and you shouldn’t give him any of your hard earned money by buying a tesla.

In 2022, Musk posted on Twitter, saying Tesla would never “surrender/settle an unjust case against us.”

The problem I see with the TG reboots/derivations is that we were all so invested in the original trio, and in the US unless you watched youtube only one of the replacements was a known entity (Matt Leblanc). So it was easy to just stop watching, and you had to actually give it a good shot to get into the new guys. I…

I know a lot of people are saying it was the hosts and theres no point in rebooting... which is partially true. But I think the bigger thing that is killing these shows is automotive youtube.

It used to be that Top Gear was the only place you could really go to see people doing something really fun with cars. Now there…

It’s always been Honda for me. I’ve owned 5 different cars and 3 motorcycles/scooters. I never had problems with any of them, my 93 EG(miss it so much) lasted a whole year with a cracked cylinder before I could afford to swap the poor D16 out, my wife and I drove my mom’s old Accord during college until it had almost…

I’ll have to go with Honda.

I have had 3 of them in the past 2.5 decades and never had any major mechanical issues with any of them. And the small issues I had were easily fixed, on the cheap.

My current 2016 Civic just crossed 100K on it and the only issue I had is that I needed to replace the battery. Oh, and a…

Despite 15 cars and 8 motorcycles in my fleet, my heart still has the softest spot for Smart. Sure, Smarts have never been the fastest, most fuel efficient, or the easiest to live with. But they remind of early Saturn. They were different with a purpose. Mercedes-Benz could have just made a tiny car (and it did with…

It’s Lexus. Toyota quality is bulletproof and Lexus is just a fancy Toyota. They’re never the fastest or the absolute best at anything, but the amount of time I’ve spent NOT in the service department over the years vs. other brands I’ve owned is priceless.

It’s annoying but at least it didn’t end on a massive cliffhanger. I think any genre show is lucky to make it beyond a first season. It would have been nice if they could have eventually started to hint at some connection to Sam Beckett. It wasn’t as goofy as the original but I liked having a team in the present to…

I enjoyed it; Raymond Lee is a likeable lead. I did not enjoy the fact that they missed out on bringing Sam Beckett home.

Nor did we get an Oh Boy.

Or an updated version of the theme song.

But other than that, decent show.

I appreciate it just because Star Trek makes its humanoid species able to interbreed. That shouldn’t be possible if they evolved separately.

It’s so weird to say Reuters is lying instead of like reporting false or misleading information or not doing their due diligence. It’s like he thinks Reuters is a guy just pushing out headlines about whatever he feels like is happening.
