We need to think about how to ensure that the market system distributes wealth efficiently on the front end, not just on the back end. The social safety net is about ensuring that people who “lose” in some way are protected—you lose your job and you get unemployment, you lose your job and you get Medicaid. Although it…

Do you mean the Lincoln Navigator, the Cadillac Escalade, or the Ford F-350 Super Duty Limited? The cheapest one here is $85,000.

Austin is the eye of the Texas storm. That’s the only reason people actually like it—it’s a fairly normal midsize American city. Compare it to Seattle, Indianapolis, Denver, Portland. It’s the rest of Texas that’s the problem.

Wouldn’t he just get stuck between the trucks if he jumped? The police couldn’t get up on the overpass?

Yes, and if you get too deep into their stuff, you’ll turn into a hipster from the early 2000s. They still sell trucker hats for fucks sake. Anyway. If you accept you won’t necessarily be associated with the assholes, the clothes are pretty good and I think it’s fine. I really try to avoid clothes with labels or…

Oh god, I don’t want to be typing this, because I used to feel the same way about Patagonia. A few years ago, my mother-in-law bought me a patagonia vest, and since then I have bought a couple sweaters and a pair of pants from them. Whether it’s “pro-grade” or not, I have found the quality to be really good and the…

If a Tesla hits an Anti-Tesla, would it produce energy? Maybe Space-X can use this to power rockets?

There’s a lot of F-Type in it from the side. This design is not going to age well. When you circumscribe the headlights like that, it becomes dated very quickly. Look at the Ferraris from the early 2000s, like the 612 Scaglietti, or Fords from the late 90s. I think the Ford Taurus was recently featured on this site as…

I don’t get the joke? What’s funny here? How are these bad decisions? It’s a vaguely-Poochie-esque extreme pig? But other junk food brands use the following mascots:

Always possible, but the Steele Dossier states that the show was performed in front of him. So, who knows? Also, Trump apparently went to club in Las Vegas where this sort of thing is done. So, it’s possible that the whole thing got mixed up. Maybe it happened. Maybe it didn’t. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/…

Evangelical voters are very invested in Trump.

Yeah, if it turns out that the President is being blackmailed by Russia and that explains why he has repeatedly been nicer to Russia and Putin than is really justified, that definitely advances the ball. I seriously doubt impeachment is going to happen, though, even if the pee tape turns out to be real.

I guess you haven’t read any news in the past 18 months? The deal with the hookers is that Trump is alleged to have gone to a hotel in Moscow where he watched some hookers pee on a bed that Pres. Obama used when he traveled to Moscow. The allegations are that the Russian state has a video of Trump at this pee party,…

Any dark roast coffee is darkly roasted because the beans are shitty. This is why French Roast is dark. It is why espresso is typically dark. When those coffees were created, the beans were terrible, and they burned them in order to make them taste like something. Maybe Cuban coffee is great, but if it’s made with…

You don’t drink wax.

Or just drink your drink a little faster?

Nah, man, the FBI raided his office and the investigation is with the US Attorney’s office for the SDNY.

I wouldn’t say it’s impressive. A Malibu gets to 60 mph in 6 seconds and only has 250 hp. That would be 5% of the claimed 5000 hp of this thing. Something running 500 hp should be a bit quicker, right?

I’m confused. Tesla claims on their website that they have 1210 supercharger stations. Is that wrong?

Seems like it’ll depend on the battery, right?
