No, he just doesn’t care if he does.

Exactly this. With a CT they’re not getting away from you, and the police can spot you instantly. Get their tag number and a description of the thief. Do what the police dispatcher tells you.

I would like SpaceX if it were owned by your average replacement-level billionaire. Even though their staff does amazing work, I can’t, and I hope they fail. Not because I want them to, but because Elmo is pocketing a good chunk of those $15 billion in projected government contracts and will use it in his ongoing…

And here we have Exhibit A today of Right Winger projection. It’s OK to be cheering for rapists, convicted felons and racist wannabe Nazis, because Right Wingers believe that everyone else is just like them. Somehow it makes sense to them that we’d be cheering them on if they were supporting Harris.

Whenever you see some car manufacturer touting hydrogen powered cars, just replace the “hydrogen” with “coal”. That’s the ultimate goal for energy corporations, to have a ready fossil fuel alternative when oil and gasoline becomes increasingly scarce and expensive. Coal can be gasified and turned into hydrogen fuel,…

Source? The Guardian article multiple times labels the area cut as a forest, not a tree farm. There is no mention of any tree farms in the article. The picture included shows forest at the edges of the Tesla factory - that is definitely not single row tree farming.

Some Final Destination shit going down

Presumably it’s behind a paywall to limit how many people choose to increase the wear and tear on the electric drivetrain, and also presumably a standardized power upgrade for everyone would decrease the range estimates Ford would need to publish for the car in advertising. Increased power isn’t free, whether it’s an…

Only if the choice was between a full jet + potential weapons + fuel tanks crashing in a civilian area, vs. just the fuel tanks crashing in a civilian area. I’m not saying that’s the case in this situation, just bringing up when it would be acceptable.

Sounds like an AI pioneer to me

Solo is a good juxtaposition. Take away all the stupid callbacks (gold dice! how did Solo get his name!) and it’s a terrific adventure movie. It’s more Indiana Jones than the last 2 Indiana Jones flicks. The execution of the action scenes, from the American Graffiti-style car chase to Han Solo shooting Tobias Beckett…

I’m pretty sure it’s about what people want, too. BMW is fully capable of doing marketing surveys and focus groups.

You mean every mentally unbalanced 20 year old with no discernible reason to have access to an AR-15 shouldn’t have it? *this is my shocked face*

“Good Enough” implies that there are uses for the film. Transcontinental airplane flight, getting the kids to sit and settle down for a couple of hours, background noise for when an empty house is a little too quiet. There are audiences and situations for which the movie is perfect, just not for the author’s…

Everyone’s going to have some unlikeable in this election that someone is going to latch onto. Any cognitive decline for Biden has been ongoing for years, and his campaign is right - the proof is in the pudding; if cognitive decline were a knockout blow for fitness for daily Presidenting, it hasn’t shown in 4 years of…

The DNC is a dysfunctional mess and has very little power to actually do anything. If you’re looking for a broad conspiracy to produce the candidate you don’t like through the DNC, there isn’t one. Haplessness is a much better explanation for how things turned out than any sort of malice. The explanation for Biden…

Also, I sincerely hope Texas secedes, because it will screw over Republican chances of being a majority ever again in the House of Representatives without the Texas delegation, or winning the Electoral College vote for President without the Texas electors.

“Well at the beginning of The Boys The Seven were a team that no one would want to mess with.”

Corporate death penalty. If corporations want to be people, this is the next step, yeah? This is a corporation that has recklessly and maliciously pursued profits at the known cost of people’s (actual people’s) lives. Time to shutter Boeing, bring criminal charges against the C-suite executives and let some other…

As disingenuous as Elmo is, he’s probably counting retail investors with 1 share of Tesla voting yes as the same as a fund investor with 100,000 shares of Tesla voting no. He did the same thing with online X polls that only counted votes of paid blue check holders.
