The problem with you math is the 15 gallons for 2 weeks assumption. For many SUVs and trucks that’s only 300 miles every 2 weeks, which is far under the national average of 1000 miles a month.

The movie has no message about who should or shouldn’t be allowed to breed. The eugenics message is something that you’ve (and others) made up in your head because YOU think certain people shouldn’t be allowed to breed.

God damnit. In my defense, I was blinded by rage.

A movie about unrestricted breeding is about eugenics? Gerrymandering affects Senators?

“And yet, Texas is still so gerrymandered, even voting harder probably won’t be enough to get him out of office.”

Good luck getting to upper atmosphere for “cheap”

You cannot. Terminal velocity of a human body is about 180 miles per hour. 

10k/yr is a pretty standard lease threshold. It’s slightly below the average miles. Most people don’t take road trips on the regular. 

Just read the mole story because of this comment. I have no idea how any sane person could stand two hours with those lunatics, let alone 2 years and counting.

Donate money too. Mother Jones, Pro Publica, NPR, Wikipedia, etc. are all invaluable resources that only exist because of people supporting them. 

Agreed. If folks haven’t already done so, it’s worth adding ProPublica.org to your news bookmarks. Their longform reporting is beyond excellent.

ProPublica has been knocking it out of the park lately.  This story, the car tows in Connecticut, the mole that infiltrated a few militias.  Really excellent reporting that needs to be more common in America, especially over the next four years.

What do you think most semi’s have under the hood?  The straight six is more robust and less complicated.

Is your gas station loyalty card also storing your phone calls and video recordings of you on Elons laptop computer?

Anxiously awaiting an R3X! Talk about whimsy...

The decision to move away from CarPlay/Android Auto was made in order for GM to capture user data that they can in turn monetize. When using CarPlay or Android Auto the data capture happens on the cellular device, and can be monetized by that company (Apple/Google). GM spent more money on developing their own system…

He cant just do that.. thats not how it works.

Looks like a Kia.

I am way more interested in that team who took a viper ACR there a while back to try and set a record. Cars like this one and the Valkyrie are so preposterous and purpose-built that they might as well be in their own category separate from other road cars.

So this year we’ve spent 12.5-ish% of, in 2024 dollars ($11.2 billion in 2008 is $16.4 billion today), a GM bail out to subsidize the cost of EV’s.
