Tesla’s PR department is terrible. Throwing in the whole “10 times less likely to catch fire than a gas car” bs stat makes them look defensive and incompetent. Did they normalize for vehicles sold? Did they only count cases of spontaneous combustion? Did they only compare this to gas cars of similar age and price…

The leaks were spot on. Well done random reddit dude #475.

While I get that American nationals should be eligible for public housing support I don’t see why it is scandalous to argue against foreign nationals (undocumented or otherwise) being eligible for any public benefits. This is more proof that the debate around immigration has become so polarized that even common sense,…

If you’re leveraging yourself to own a car like these you can’t really afford it. For anything more than basic transportation, it makes sense to have the disposable cash on hand to buy the car outright and only then explore options that might end up being more efficient like leasing. If you still end up “leveraging”…

The series jumped the shark when they decided they were going to wrap up what appears to be at least 2 more seasons worth of threads in 13 episodes. I don’t actually hate the way the main story arcs have played out but the complete lack of coherence and terrible pacing has really, really hurt the show. Since season 7,…

It won’t work because they’re contractors for hire, not employees. The fact that it has to be on a weekday morning instead of say Saturday night tells me that they know there will be plenty of other people attracted to drive by the higher rates. It mainly a PR stunt than anything else.

This is a solid take. The white walkovers were proved to be even less capable than the ever thicker “good guys”. They just stood around like a bunch of kiss groupies at a concert while their incredibly fragile leader who’s continued existence is also the only thing keeping them alive chose to spike the ball at the 1…

Netflix was cool when it provided a platform for great third party content at a reasonable price. They jumped the shark when they decided they were going to charge more and more money for less and less quality content all while replacing it with what can only be categorized as a “see if anything sticks” shovelware…

I just don’t get how this happens. 62 wins isn’t a good team, its a great team. They played and beat Columbus plenty of times in the regular season. I get that the Blue Jackets were monsters late in FA but still, there’s no way TB was going to go down 0-4! This has to be one of the biggest hockey upsets in a while and…

She’s right. I know this isn’t a popular fact on Splinter but the three progressives that seem to be getting all the attention (you know who) are all from extremely safe districts. They are not the reason the Democrats won congress. The Democrats won congress because they had another 60 odd freshman run and win in…

It’s the minimum wage. The important word there is minimum. It’s not supposed to be decent money. It’s supposed to a floor providing for enough to survive on without anything left over for anything else. 

She’s right. There are 60 odd freshman Democratic congressmen. Most of them won competitive, politically balanced districts. The Democrats did not win congress because of the 3-4 extremely loud progressives in super safe districts who seem to be getting all the media attention. They deserve influence and coverage…

Mercedes and Lewis are at the top of their game this season. It doesn’t help that Ferrari is clearly backing the wrong driver and hamstringing their chances or that Red Bull still lack rear end downforce and have to be seriously considering switching out Gasly for Albon soon. 

Alex Albon is quickly turning into a superstar. He makes silly rookie mistakes but the pace is very clearly there. Red Bull have to be seriously thinking about switching out Gasly for him mid season. Its not like he doesn’t make the same rookie mistakes as Alex and he’s definitely not as quick at the moment.

Trump is a pathological liar capable of spinning everything to fit his narrative. I’m beyond trying to parse his (lack of) opinion forming thought process. That said most Democrats have done themselves no favors by not explicitly coming out against any system checks and balances in the immigration system.

I don’t get why Assange and Manning need to get some special treatment here. Assange is a foreign national who’s been credibly accused of being a Russian intelligence asset. Just calling himself a “journalist” doesn’t get him a get out of jail free card on this front. Manning committed what could viably be described…

Greatest kinja comment of all time.

Wasn’t the KERS. He lost an injector on one of the cylinders and literally had a V5 in the back for 8 laps. That meant no turbo heat recovery, further compounding the problem. Ferrari say the engine is perfectly usable and it was a freak incident.

I do not have a problem with cyclists as long as they follow the rules of the road. Beyond the obvious things they do like ignore red lights and terrorize pedestrians, the ignored rules include minimum speed limits. Just as I’d have a problem with a car doing 20 on a road with a 45 mph speed limit I do have major…

I think I got an ulcer just looking at that.
