Hey, I’m half-swedish, so I have that Nordic imperviousness to the cold! I love the snow.

There has GOT to be a way to convince them to see that they’re *only getting* crumbs because Bezos has already taken the whole cake for himself. They're only getting the bits that crumbled off as he made his exit.

The irony is that most of them fighting it would be *far better off* if they would, just, learn some shit. Just a little bit. 

You mean uncontrolled chaos *isn’t* good for business?

The irony is that “socialist” countries like Norway actually have higher per-capita incomes, even after taxes, than we do. Plus better health care, happiness, and what have you.

Same! But it would be nice to know that, if I *had* to quit driving for whatever reason, I wasn't suddenly helpless.

2nd Gear: I thought those tariffs were his BIG DAY ONE THING?! Why didn’t he do the one big thing he promised he would do?!

The costs are such that automakers will do nothing but wait out the clock until someone less-idiotic is in the White House. It’ll be at most four more years, and their revenues aren’t such that it makes sense to even think about building new plants in the US. First, because the cost would likely never be recouped.…

Sweden does it right. Once you're of retirement age, one of your benefits is that the government will pay for taxis, anywhere you need to go. And they pay fairly, so you aren't waiting forever to find a cab. Senior citizens can get where they need to go in a car-centric society, but they don't have to drive. It's…

This is a good post that warms my heart and gives me hope for the future. I love the idea of taking a gamble on an absurd car specifically in order to confuse the hell out of total strangers. Buy the Bentley and live your best deliberately-confusing weirdo car life!

And it’s not even a car built by a couple of drunk dudes in a shed somewhere.

This is one of those physics things that I always *knew* in the back of my mind. But I am *amazed* I have never actually tried the freezer beer trick. How cold do you need to get it? I’ve got -20C, -80C and LN2 freezers available (the latter two only in my lab).

I wasn’t sure you were *really* from the Midwest.  But then you called it “pop” and all doubt vanished.

I *really* hope you get them. They're gonna be bad for everyone who didn't vote for them. And they're gonna be bad for everyone who *did,* they just don't know it yet.

Zing!

What if it was someone else’s?!

If I was given that first photo of the thing and forced to pick an adjective, I think I would pick “veiny” rather than “legendary.”

Hey, he could mean punitive legislation, deportation, political persecution, the possibilities are endless!

Big same.  I hope they fucking choke on it.

Why ever would you say such a thing?!
