My dad was a lifelong sailor, and the first time he explained this to me, it just blew my mind. I felt like I’d been admitted to some secret society.

Same. Learning to sail (or in my case windsurf) almost directly up-wind felt like unlocking some kind of hidden magic.

This and sailing upwind was something that filled my idiotic child-self with such joy. And before you ask, yes, I am still an idiotic child.

I didn’t know that I didn’t know this, or that I needed to know this. So thank you 😂

It’s certainly impressive; that being said I strongly suspect that Porsche is underrating their turbocharged engines.

Sure, bud. It’s the Porsche owners who have fragile egos. Not the vapid man-baby who buys entire companies on a whim (only to burn billions by failing by every conceivable metric) and his bootlicking fans.

If anything, it proves Porsches are the Ultimate sports car you can buy. With only 379hp running in the mid 12s, in a manual is wild.

Who cares? Very clearly Tesla cared since they invented the story ...

“Our simulations showed the full 1/4 mi race would be close but with the same net result, so no need to risk it.”

What’s crazy to me is they could have claimed that the Cybertruck can do a 13s quarter mile while towing a car and that would still be extremely impressive. But it’s on-brand for them to cherry pick numbers and misrepresent what their products can actually do.

This reminds me of when streetwear brand Supreme sold a crowbar with their logo on it

So fitting that they warn you to not actually use it as a hammer.

FOUND THE PERSON TOO DUMB TO UNDERSTAND A ROUNDABOUT!

Stopping for two seconds is inefficient in time, energy, and morale when there is absolutely no one in sight.

And just like gold, the value of cryptocurrency comes from perceived rarity and emotions, not the practical usefulness of it.

More roundabouts. We need more roundabouts.

We really should be putting up yield signs where 75% of stop signs are at

What is the market cap of gold? The sum of all of the gold in circulation in the world?

Scott Walker didn’t do enough damage to Wisconsin?  Now this?

Municipal and institutional investors should absolutely scare traditional crypto holders; with them will come the demand for regulation and scrutiny that will absolutely collapse the entire pyramid scheme market.
