Indeed, Vachris hasn’t just worked in the C-suite. According to the announcement, he has worked for Costco for more than 40 years, “starting as a forklift driver, and subsequently serving in every major role related to Costco’s business operations and merchandising activities.”

Yep

My hesitation to choose a githyanki character has far more to do with this:

I have a hunch that Musk and Tesla do designs like this basically to send a message to other automakers and the world that “THIS is what we are capable of. You should be worried.”

Like the falcon doors, it’s an unnecessary challenge. Yes, Tesla has great engineers. But by dictating that style, Musk has made their jobs harder without really a reason other than “I think it looks cool”

Good thing though that Tesla has many talented engineers.

That BS in Physics gives him enough education to think he knows engineering, which is a dangerous place to be.

Good thing though that Tesla has many talented engineers.

So I looked it up. Musk has a BS in Physics and a BA in economics.

Elon has been hitting the pipe hard

“a production goal of 250,000 per year by 2025.”

Ah, Ernie from Kinja. A guy whose sole job seemed to be explaining to us that actually, we liked being kicked in the nuts over and over.

Oh, are you telling me that your cutting boards don’t lose *10 credit cards* worth of material a year?

The linked study synopsis doesn’t explain how they got 500 cuts per day. It seems ridiculously high for an average. Are they assuming it’s stir fry for dinner every night and Denver omelets for breakfast?

“Our study assumes that the average person makes 500 cuts per day on a board, or over the course of a year, 128,000 cuts. Given those numbers, the cumulative microplastics exposure ranges from 7.4 to 50.7 grams per year.”

“Is your refrigerator running...around with the wrong crowd?”

I don’t know about you, but my hometown is full of gangs roving the streets, breaking into houses and covering the ‘fridges with magnets.

I get it, any level not good etc. etc.

This feels like a face-saving explanation on the part of manufacturers. More than likely they’re saving money by using more plastic and less ferrous metal, but want to present it as a “only trailer trash use magnets on a fridge”.

If people don’t like magnets on their refrigerators.... Just don’t put them on them. Don’t ruin it for the rest of us.
