listen, this money isn’t just going to launder itself

the correct answer is to do it the way the military did performance rankings when I was in (and also the way my college did grades).  Essentially “promotable” is the standard, then must promote and early promote can be given to high performers.  this way the true stars can get selected early, but only the truly…

as a coastal elite with two kids, we use it all the time in our van. grandparents going to dinner with us? why take two cars. want to get the cousins out of my brother’s hair? let’s pile in the van. and not to mention, even when we’re not using the seats, we’re using the space. no need for a bike rack if you’re taking…

not increasing prices has caused a complete shift in thinking about what a success is.  Think about Days Gone - a Top 20 sales video game for 2019 and it can’t get a sequel because selling 7-8 million copies of a game isn’t good enough for the bottom line.  So we just get more DLC factories.

i can’t imagine anyone who is interested enough in placing an order for a bronco is also stupid enough to think a bronco sport is anything like a bronco

i mean maybe musk will just give you money for defending him, but over here in the real world teslas have been proven time and again to be wholly incapable of properly self-driving in a number of circumstances and have cost lives while being used in such a way. so maybe there’s a kernel of logic to what “the media” is…

why did you [sic] “suing?” it’s the proper present participle of sue.

reading comprehension is not your friend. no wonder you use a burner name.

you’re telling on yourself by calling him a centrist. much like that self-centered senator from a southwestern state, musk did a good job of lying to everyone about who he actually was. you can’t fault the public for changing their opinions as more information on his shithousery comes out

i like the way you rant, boy

for whatever reason, out of all the ridiculous car subcultures out there that i loathe with a white hot passion, I absolutely love donks. I’d do mine up like a box of nerds, with a two tone pink/purple split down the middle. but this one ain’t it. ND

these days? places having half a dozen or more curbside pickup spots reserved (my local safeway has an entire side of a full row - 20 spaces or so - reserved for these spots). they’re always closest to the front, and they’re never, ever occupied by more than a single vehicle. and most of the time there’s actually…

every time I see Days Gone I’m sad there won’t be a sequel because publishers have insane requirements to do so and would rather potentially lose more money on a new IP than follow-up a fairly successful one

tech bros believe they are all beyond reproach and any failings are despite the work they do, not because of. the robber barons of the 21st century

it’s amazing that these tech bros will continue to fellate each other even when saying everything is all fucked up.  anyone with eyeballs can see that musk has not, in fact, “done a phenomenal job.”  but here Hotz is, cupping them on the way out the door.

tbh I thought comparing an electric car company to an etailer was kinda dumb so I just ignored it. i think you know I was specifically referring to the other electric car companies, but just in the interest of fairness, my apologies for not making that clearer in the post.

Tesla is supposed to be a far more mature company than any of those you compared them to. For example, Rivian’s net income last quarter was -$1.7B. Tesla’s was +$3.3B.

Barry, Station 11, Lovecraft Country, etc are all excellent shows and also none of them can hold Band of Brothers’ jock strap. this list is comical

when your comically underpowered car isn’t underpowered enough! I had a FC3C back in 1999-2000 and really enjoyed it (for the three months I owned it before it was stolen, never to be seen again) but there was nothing about that engine that screamed “put me in a car 20+ years from now” unless you call removing the…

it’s so weird how diesel prices have dropped 75 cents in just a month since the election, despite us entering one of the heaviest shipping periods in the year, which would indicate more demand against what we were told was a supply-forced price increase in the 2 months leading up to the elections
