Siri, show me a metaphor for 2025.

Do you tag Musk with links to your sweaty stanning or is it a hobby to try this hard? Either way he doesn’t give a shit.

One cannot discontinue a model that was never actually built. 

Reading is fundamental.

elon aint gonna fuck you, dude

The Boring Company’s very existence proves that Elon, at least, is definitely unaware of trains.

Amazing that the company which successfully remembered to program fart noises into the car, which is so very necessary to its successful operations, didn’t remember the existence of trains.

“Accidentally reinvented basic infrastructure” is such an apt description for so much of the nonsense that comes from the tech industry these days.

Given how many times tech-bros have “accidentally reinvented” basic infrastructure like Buses, Libraries, etc. - it’s possible that Tesla is honestly unaware of trains...

Yea, car companies know what they’re doing. Tesla is a financial house of cards ready to get blown over; demand for their products (at least in the US) is waning at best, once investors finally start looking at it’s value to earnings with any sort of critical eye the party is over. 

Couldn’t agree more. I call them NGAROs. Needlessly Gigantic And Ridiculously Oversized brodozers, SUVs for a family of 2 and a 6-mile total daily commute and all the other vehicles that barely anyone needs but dumb people have been bamboozled into believing they like and “need.”

As long as dummies keep spending…

To be fair to those infomercials, a lot of those products are designed for people with disabilities that affect their motor skills. There’s a lot of stigma (even among those that really need the products), so instead of showing grandma having muscle spasms or the shakes, the advertisers depict someone young and…

Oh man an attractive woman in a nice car? She must make porn, it’s the only plausible explanation. It’s like how Eagles song Take it Easy is about a dude meeting a girl who does porn. Or how Mustang Sally is about porn. Or how Fun Fun Fun is about porn. Or how Sesame Street and 60 minutes are porn. OH MY GOD IT’S ALL…

The city of Colchester just isn’t built for enormous modern vehicles, and its council is working to remedy that:

I read a science fiction novel a while back, set in the not too distant future, following a crew of astronauts that go up for a long-ish mission but then are unable to come back because they can no longer safely plot a path through the amount of space junk that’s accumulated. Turns out that was a pretty good…

To make matters worse, Kirby says dealer higher-ups told him to lie about the reason he was fired; he was told to say he was let go because of “a new company structure.”

“Sewell says that Kirby’s wife’s adult content “had become an issue at work” which violated the company’s “standards of professional conduct.””

The longstanding “out of sight, out of mind” philosophy of rocket launch is unsustainable, clearly.  And while it’s tempting to think of SpaceX as having solved it with their reusable first stages, they really haven’t.  They’ve only mitigated it a tiny little bit -- and their vastly increased flight rate more than…

What a cluster… so basically one of the other employees recognized his wife from a picture on his desk, and decided to distribute her adult content at work and with colleagues? Seems to me like that would have been the obvious person to terminate, not Mr. Kirby.

“The subordinate took screenshots and showed them to co-workers and managers, the decision said.”
