So true. People forget that we didn’t have much internet in 1996, but 25 years later, we have Musk shooting starlink satellites up into orbit because he figures he can make a buck on the demand for bandwidth. Read more

have you considered moving? The problem is clearly you.
Neutral: This week sucked. I didn’t have power for the past four days. I was fairly prepared, but there still wasn’t much we could do to help anyone else. Read more
2nd: Minivans are fantastic vehicles for families, and are better than SUVs by almost every imaginable measure. I’ll never understand people’s aversion to them. If you need something to haul kids and stuff, there really isn’t anything better.
counterpoint: the regulations aren’t being drawn up with stuff like a hellcat in mind at all. they’re being drawn up to cover the 99.99% of cars that aren’t hellcats and the modern muscle cars are just going to be collateral damage. look around in a parking lot. there are an awful lot of V8 powered trucks.

It’s absolutely right that the economics have to make sense before there will be a transition to renewable energy. In fact, it would have been nearly impossible do otherwise. What would have happened if Shell had announced a big new investment in electric car charging in 1990? If they had decided to transition away… Read more
Stellantis is like the show Chopped, where a bunch of random stuff is thrown into a basket, and you’re forced to make a bunch of stuff just... work. Read more

Seriously. I went to one to get a giftcard and felt a piece of my soul die. I’m thankful it’s not the only affordable option for things where I live.
The powers that be need to abandon the branding that they’re going to replace all ICE vehicles... Making it so that most or all new commuter cars/crossovers/whatevers sold are electric would still be a huge win. Read more
“WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT, WELFARE ABUSING, GOVERNMENT OVERSPENDING IS THIS?! A FUCKING MERCEDES IS DROPPING OFF MY MAIL?! I CAN’T EVEN AFFORD A NEW FUCKING KIA, AND I’M PAYING THAT ASSHOLES SALARY TO DRIVE A MERCEDES?! NO WONDER TRUMP WANTS TO KILL THE USPS, THIS IS BULLLLLSHIITTTTTT” Read more

Toyota has for a very long time now led the industry in manufacturing and supply chain operations. Meaning for decades, each and every one of their factories has been running in a way that allows them to break even at much lower production volumes relative to capacity than their competitors. Yes, everybody and their… Read more
First gear: I mean this is just abject crazy talk - ~47 million unemployed, expanded UI benefits end in a month (hopefully they get extended through the end of 2020), lots of the paycheck protection plan stuff is over (which has allowed payrolls to continue to, in effect, lower the unemployment rate), we just had the… Read more
FCA should buy Harley. All the dinosaurs gotta stick together.
