@Vaper – Don’t put words in my mouth. I don’t like the taste of yours.

So when you dump three rounds into the windshield, you say you feared for your life and stood your ground? Justifiable Ford-i-cide?

1st Gear: That’s what the whole “joint ownership” agreement was all about. To learn how it was done, using their labor. Then use, ahem, other gathering techniques, to fill in the gaps. China’s absolutely focused on playing to win.

I like the way you think, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

It was right here until Friday night. Then poof.

I’m still trying to figure out if they’ve abducted and mothballed Lifehacker like they did to Deadspin, or if they just killed it in its sleep Friday night.

Except for the fact that crypto isn’t, by any reasonable definition, a security.

Dude, get used to it.
