The bigger issue is what to do with it. Maintaining the station as safe for human habitation requires ongoing work, which means astronauts will need to keep visiting and significant budget will need to be expended.

It could be done, but the station is pretty old now and there’s not much value in a decrepit space station. Maybe you could disconnect some of the modules and reuse them, but it’s a reach.

If they can get fast charging with these things, that’s a big deal even if they had to otherwise keep the power density the same. And that plus the greater power density and lighter weight means they’d be much more feasible for heavy trucks on the road (and potentially even smaller planes). 

1st Gear: So they’ve sold about 15,000-20,000 of them. That’s something, I guess - hopefully they have much better margins than the smaller cars that actually drive Tesla’s sales.

I feel like this makes the rounds every two years or so, and then we don’t hear about it again for a while. 

I actually like their performances quite a bit, and wish the show had launched them seriously into stardom. 

I don’t think Brown was even in the most recent Godzilla movie (her name isn’t on the cast section for Wikipedia), and she was a “B plot” character in the one before it.

Brown’s really only 20? I honestly thought they were all older than that now.

The idea of a rival AI system to Skynet is pretty neat, although it feels like we’re doing another run at the Terminator 2 plot structure. 

Musk obviously wants to get out of EVs anyways, hence why he is trying to rebrand the company as an AI and robotics firm, and is also developing a separate AI firm on the side with resources diverted from Tesla. It probably causes him cognitive dissonance that he can’t complete his full shift to reactionary…

Maybe they just left him for dead. It would be funny if he limped/flied into King’s Landing around the time Aegon wakes up again.

Finally getting to the Dragonseeds! That should be fun, even if there’s only three more episodes for them to take flight. We’ll also be seeing one or more of the Sea Snake’s bastards pop up in the next episode, I’ll bet. 

Did he do one for Ocean’s Eleven? I remember watching the actor commentary for that with Brad Pitt and Matt Damon, and it was incredibly dull - except for Pitt’s funny crack about how Clooney was shit at poker because he had no luck. 

You beat me to it - that’s one of the good ones with actor commentary. I remember them making the “yogurt” joke about one of the actors whenever he first showed up on screen (he was apparently nuts about yogurt as part of a diet). 

A lot of them had actor commentary tracks, which were very prone to being boring unless the folks were treating it like a hangout session (one of the best commentary tracks from actors was the one for Resident Evil). The good commentary tracks usually came from directors/writers/showrunners/etc, and this sounds more…

Awesome. Probably a limited number of these he can do, since you have to get folks who are available to sit down for two hours to watch a movie with him. But I do miss having those commentaries. 

The argument from more serious investors used to be that it was priced high because Tesla was supposedly going to become the Windows of EV Operating Systems or something like that.

The ups and downs of Tesla have been so frequent and large that it’s not surprising it’s drawn in a bunch of gamblers risk-loving small stock traders. If you’d bought stock a month ago and sold it today, you’d be making 42% gains even after the 8% drop today from the unsurprising robo-taxi delay. And thus they swarm…

Tesla Share Price has been on a bit of an upward tear in the weeks before these were supposed to be ready. I wonder if it will start sliding down again.

If it’s a good film, it might get a decent second life on streaming, premium cable, and VOD. I keep meaning to see it, but things came up both weekends so far.
