Yeah, I have a feeling Kubler’s going to get hit pretty hard or at least semi-hard tomorrow. It’s not just the wear on his arm but that the Cubs will have seen him three times this series

I could see Hendricks going 7 innings tomorrow and not allowing a run. He dominated in game 6 of the NLCS. Has only allowed 1 run in his last 3 starts on a wind-aided Adrian Gonzalez HR.

I’ll try to explain this in a better way. Pitching on three days rest is really hard doing it twice in a series is harder. I once pitched back to back games and warm up took like an hour. I will be extremely impressed if Kluber continues his dominance. Because I know for a fact how hard that is. And especially…

In 1983, 46% of 16-year-olds had licenses. Today it’s just 24%.

The current business model for ride-sharing services is based on private ownership of vehicles. They aren’t responsible for owning a fleet of cars, and they don’t have employees to drive them, just “independent contractors.”

I think the idea of self-driving cars at your beck and call will be a nice addition to city transportation. I don’t think it will come anywhere close to replacing personal car ownership.

I’ve never used Lyft, but I have used Uber with good results. I just think that people by and large won’t ditch their cars for ride services because there is no sense of it being theirs. Millions of people like their cars because they do belong to them, and they know exact who sat in that seat.

2018 is my guess when the App bubble bursts. I think higher interest rates will kill funding for a lot of companies. Right now it is cheap to borrow, even investors are getting a lower payout or share for each dollar they put in. Companies are asking for hundreds of millions or even billions during investor rounds…

So, he is basically predicting the rosiest possible outcome for his company and assuming that is what everyone will automatically want just because? Good luck with that.

The so called “visionaries” in Silicon Valley are really like the idiots from the eponymous TV show. They think the whole world is like their cushy little bubbles in San Fransisco. They literally have no idea what the real world is or how it works. Nearly all of them run massively unprofitable “businesses”. It only…

Prediction: dot com bust 2.0 happens before private ownership of cars disappears.

Nothing wrong with wanting to preserve a comfortable life for ourselves, but don’t call it “saving the planet”. It should be called “low-grade terraforming to make sure it stays comfortable for us.” Which I’m all for, and if they’d drop the “we’re killing the planet” rhetoric (the planet will be around long after…

Except that Takata lied in their reports to Honda about their inflator’s performance:

Yes, Takata is looking for a bailout, as they are burning through their reserves very quickly.

There’s so much more that manufacturers could have done to raise efficiency, lighten the weight and develop newer and better technologies. Only they haven’t.

GM for decades upon decades would use the same, old as hell cast iron engine block across dozens of different automobiles with barely any technological…

This is why I will never ever buy a GM product.

Well, the primary reason.

The People that gripe, moan, & complain about too much regulation, the “Nanny State”, & excessive “frivolous” lawsuits either fail, or refuse to, understand that stuff like this is why we have those regulations & lawsuits.

“GM declined to comment, saying essentially that it was an “old GM” problem.”

He’s not that big of a Mary Sue, he just looks that way compare to everyone else in the Empire. I mean when your standard stormtrooper can’t even hit the roadside of a barn, anyone with a marginal amount of competence looks like a Mary Sue.

sadly, the next true world war is going to last about as long as it takes to bake a potato.
