I’m curious if we’ll see the rise of EV “tuner” shops selling software updates, tarted up drive motors, and whatnot.  On the one hand, why wouldn’t we, if there’s money to be made?  On the other, the software required to do those sorts of things might be proprietary and difficult, if not impossible, to crack.  

I’m curious if weed eventually becomes like beer. A few huge companies pumping out mediocre stuff for cheap, and independent, “craft-weed” farms for the fancy lads out there.

Somebody making the *same mistake* for a year is less on the line worker and more on the people responsible for training said line worker and the people responsible for QC’ing work done on the line.

Looking at transaction prices on BaT, these aren’t unreasonable to buy. I walk to work and don't really need a reliable daily driver. There is even a British car mechanic near me. But I don’t have a garage, and I live in a place where I chose an RF Miata because a soft-top would get broken into left and right.

While we did get the beginnings of a vaccine strategy for MERS, or didn’t give us as much of a head start as you’d think. We still had to sequence the new flavor and test it, piece by piece, to find the bits that are best recognized by the immune system. However, modern tech allowed that to happen faster. Similarly,…

Big same. I just keep telling myself that stupidity is not, evolutionarily speaking, selected for.

Hell yeah, brother.

Your ability to remain somewhat positive is enviable! And I REALLY hope your assessment is correct.

It’s nice to know that, while basic human decency might be dead and gone, irony is still going strong!

“if it was him?”

First Gear: If you keep having to remind people you’re the one holding the reins... You are losing your grip.

I have the exact same assessment. And given the vastly-improved infrastructure for generating, processing, and sharing information, the speed of innovation is probably at least on par with the 1920s, despite the innovations of the 2020s being far more complex than those of the 1920s. In reality, innovation probably…

Today I learned that 6-stroke engines:

I bet the Camry will depreciate more!

I’m genuinely surprised that people are still dealing illegal weed in California. It’s legal! What are you even doing?

Wonder when the next civil war will be...

Excellent work!

Curious if that would actually work haha! Hell of a way to test the emergency O2 system to boot!

I hope I don’t either. But I’m not sure. Much like Nickelback albums, someone is buying them.  Statistically, some of them are people I know.
