Nope, Oxy is a white people’s drug! But at least they have the government looking out for them!!

True, but still surprising none have gone to the media about it. Especially since it’s not like everyone who was Kap’s teammate last year is still on SF (or in the NFL)

Ejecto Seat lol

Not at all, EVs with functional range are still way out of reach for almost all consumers. Also nobody has addressed how non homeowners are supposed to charge EV, which is going to take some kind of gas station equivalency for EV where a 250-300 mile range car can be charged in 5 minutes from empty.

I don’t see how the Supra won’t be upmarket. In 1997, the TT Supra was at a base price of $39,900. CPI says that’s about $59k. It wasn’t a cheap car in its time, and it won’t be now. For $60k, the Supra better be pushing more than 335hp.

More dramatic is probably the fact that a decent condition mkIV Supra is between…

Yes, but I disagree that engineers are cut slack socially. I think it is easily summed up by my favorite review comment of all time which was when I was told I did 110% but it didn’t seem like I wanted to. That’s the sort of thing engineers get.

I don’t consider Musk an engineer either, but that’s an order finer…

He’s never worked in engineering. He studied engineering. There’s a difference. Anyone who is good at school, good at working institutions, can get an engineering degree. Being a good engineer takes what was called ‘knack’ in Dilbert. Doctors are the same. Anyone who is good at school and can push himself through the…

Also, the engineering calculation (“can I function in your absence?”) is different from the economic/business calculation: Does the time you save me in a day result in more value than your cost to the company? Even if her work only saved Musk 15 minutes a day, there’s a good chance that 15 minutes of Musk’s time is…

“If she was truly unnecessary, Elon would’ve found out at some point in the 12 years prior and had her removed.”

My guess is that the need of the position declined over time. Having been in small start-up organizations where its crazy as f**k the CEO (or head of the divison, etc.) is spread super thin, since he/she is often doing 5 jobs not one. As they hired a CTO, a CIO, a SVP of sales, etc. the need for someone to serve as…

This is what he thought he did. What he actually did was fail to take into account his own biases. If it were a true experiment, it would have required an unbiased third party to do this analysis. I also tend to believe his wife, based on what I know of him (gee, he’s been given to hyperbole I think once or twice!)…

Anyone with deep enough pockets can do this, unfortunately. I was being hyperbolic. Of course they’ll bully her in any way possible. It’s admirable that she seems to be up for it.

At least other religions have their basis in the bronze age and can be understood as explaining natural phenomena and the human condition. I don’t see any of that with DC-10s flying into volcanoes.

“Why does Kushner need an encrypted, disappearing messaging app?”

Seriously I’m a “Millennial” and I feel so old and detached from the world knowing this guy is somehow famous for being a complete asshat.

That’s not to discount Fed’s amazing play, but Fed’s early career has allowed him to build up such a major tally so early

What a world we live in where saying things that are true is racist or fake news, depending on where you live on the political spectrum.

“civilizational” vs “cultural” may be due to the translation process. If you are going to get to the level of detail of analyzing individual word choice then it’s a wasted effort without looking at the original language. Even direct word-to-word translations don’t always transfer the original meaning because every…

I would argue again and change the word “cultural” to institutional. The issues most African countries face have to do with postcolonial-capitalist influences. Residue left over from countries like France and other imperial powers taking advantage of the countries’ resources and people without giving back.

I’ve done Murph a couple times (no vest), and I think my best time ever was around 55 minutes. For comparison, I can run a mile in 5:30, two miles at 13:00 without feeling particularly winded, rock climb regularly at V4s pushing to V5s, and oh yeah, I played in the fucking NFL.
