most people here in the comments knew it was coming and made all the appropriate preparations in advance.

If you fight with them and they shoot and kill you they will steal far more then 62 days.

Is that stolen thing potentially worth your life? Some people would say yes, I get that, and I feel bad for them, because no personal possession is worth the possibility of death (for me at least). I have too much to live for. Others do not, and that’s what makes me sad.

Your comment is exactly the interesting phycology I’m referring to.

It doesn’t matter who introduced the firearm, or right and wrong, this isn’t a question about fault. It’s about self preservation and whether someone cares enough about their own life to let their personal possessions go in order to increase their likelihood that they’ll live to see tomorrow.

The psychology of protecting property at the risk of life is sad. People must not value their lives very much.

After reading the comments I think I finally kinda understand what the article is trying to say about why the switch is special.

Elon cares more then most CEOs. But not for the reason everyone suggests (personal wealth). He cares because Tesla operates on a constant influx of capital. They did 3 stock issuances last year. You can’t tap the capital markets if they aren’t convinced their investment is going to grow.

Sort of. But he basically buried the truth in a small tweet after the HUGE announcement. Let hertz mislead people... play up the hype to raise stock prices 5%, then let the truth be know but bury it, play it down, and let it drop 2%. You still gain 3%. Savvy. 

To take a an SUV that relies on the full cross section of it’s cabin for rigidity and crashworthiness and just cut the top off is absolutely crazy.

In case people want resources (which is a very reasonable thing to want)

That is great advice that reasonable people will definitely take.

Pediatricians are unanimously advocating for a children’s vaccine. At least the ones that are respected in the profession.

You don’t need much time. A booster is a quick CVS visit. Sign up online. You can buy some beer and 1/2 price Halloween candy while you are there waiting afterwards. You can also get your seasonal flu vaccine at the same time.

I assumed it was a sarcastic “know the cause of most problems” like the way everyone on the internet “knows what the problem is and how to fix it”.

Somehow you both explicitly committed to not doing something and then went and did it anyway in the same comment. In light of the focus of second gear (politics) I can’t help but appreciate the irony.

Keep in mind people - most patents are just ideas that have barely been reduced to practice. It’s doesn’t mean that the inventor thinks its practically feasible or there is any market for it now. They’re just hoping that it becomes viable in the next 20 years. Then they can cash in.

I was thinking freezing shut... but do you really need cooling in the winter?

This is spec built car built specifically to be eligible to race in touring car classes. Adding HP or aero will disqualify it from the class it’s built to race in.

I agree on the criminal side. But I hope that the family pays out big in the civil suit.
