My mother had a purple 1995 Ford Escort when I was in highschool that I would occasionally drive. There were 2 other purple escorts in our town. It is amazing because the population was about 5,000 at the time.

good point, my IC engine may only convert 20% of its fuel to work, and the refinery that made it might be larger than most powerplants, but powerplants burn a lot of coal, except when you live next to a nuclear powerplant which burns spicy rocks

I’m all for putting a portfolio behind a paywall - “we want to use the software you’ve written”, cool pay for it then.

“If people are dumb enough”

So many of these one line summaries are just wrong. 

How is this socialism? Is the ZF 8-speed socialism, or maybe the Ford-GM 10-speed? Companies make partnerships to improve profits for their shareholders: capitalism at its best.

I’ve always liked this very sobering quote from Aldus Huxley - “That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.”

They also do not account for people who read a pirated manga volume online and then go on to buy the volume, which is a big discrepancy in these stats. Two of my favourite current manga are Kaguya: Love is War and One-Punch Man. I read them online since fan translators release the latest chapter much faster than the…

I assure you that the interior of any car gets quite hot in Arizona in August... that’s where the MCU, stack, screens and drivers all live.

I'd kind of like to see their Version Control matrix... but I think my head would explode. One of these times they are gonna brick 500k cars. 

First: from a QA perspective? “Re-writing mainline software on the fly” to code your way around chip issues? Is a terrible strategy that wouldn’t fly in a real company.

The latest Decennial Census reported that there were 140,498,736 housing units in the US in 2020. That means that we need a thousand of these to power everyone, plus an electric grid that can handle the load and move that power wherever it is needed and a distributed battery storage system that can hold an overnight…

I guess we’ll never see an R8 in a Wes Anderson movie haha

If you drunkenly sniff my neck and tell me I smell nice — on the job — after I’ve witnessed you being “consistently sexually inappropriate” with a female coworker every time you came into my other place of work, then yes, obviously that’s predatory behaviour, and it’s not wild to say that it’s an abuse of your…

Even when making a 3D render they couldn’t resist the tackiness of putting fake marble vinyl on everything.

You use marble for large expanses because the streaks break up the visual scale, while being close enough in colour and contrast that it isn’t jarring. Marble is associated with being expensive because you build…

Just like before, it’s probably pedo misapplication.

That MR2 coupe thing has a cute eyes-closed anime smile which I quite like.

While we’re living in imagination land I’d like to request a 2 door. Thanks.
