Hmmm, ok so obviously my list would be different than a lot of peoples, and I’m going to take a lot of liberties here in the name of “greater L.A.” but I’ve got a lot of friends who are interested in science, so The La Brea Tar Pits are usually something I take someone like that to, along with Griffith observatory.

For a restaurant with Pancakes in its name, IHOP makes surprisingly bad pancakes.

Exactly what Uber is doing. “distrupting the taxi business” by basically being a taxi business, only making the drivers use their own cars, pay for their own insurance, earn less money, and with the ultimate plan of eliminating them anyway because they know their business model doesn’t support them.

Musk’s ultimate business plan is that we will start buying cars the way he wants us to because that’s what he needs us to do in order to turn a profit. I can’t tell if this is more arrogance or delusion on his part. Buying a car is the 2nd biggest purchase that many people will make in their entire lives. They’re not…

But at the exact same time that they were “up ending the current dealer structure” they were paying their sales folks EXACTLY like the current dealer structure and then having them actively eliminate their position by duping them. Fuck this company so much.

You nailed this quote as it encapsulates the problem with operating a car company like a Silicon Valley software company. I just finished the book about Theranos- the blood testing company that was founded, became a company with a book value of $50B, and never actually had a functioning product, and now the founder…

This kind of sums up silicon valley.

-Someone has great idea

Holy crap, Tesla is just running a 19th century plutocratic industrialist’s dream wrapped up inside a 21st-century facade. It’s all very clear to me now.

Wait, so you’re telling me a company who won’t even list the price of their cars on their website without accounting for some nebulous “gas savings” is misleading us with their statistics for online vs in-person sales?

Isn’t this how the Matrix started? They dimmed the sun to stop the robots, but also cured global warming.

The portrayal of the history lesson that has been reported is inaccurate, out of context, contains false facts and ignores the overwhelming support of Ms. Antinozzi from dozens of parents at the school.

What would you do if you found yourself dissatisfied with your fast-food order?

In San Diego:

Counter point: I will go to great lengths to avoid Times Square everytime I am in New York, which is several times a year.

I know she wrote “this will be posted to social media” but all I saw was “I will be informing your manager.”

“What had happened was...” isn’t a term, it’s a phrase. Seems like ‘Monica’ is pretending to be educated as well as pretending to be black.

If whites can’t say the n-word neither can blacks.

Yeah, this is something that I struggle to communicate to friends who don’t work on climate policy (and therefore don’t immerse themselves in incredibly bleak research all day). In my personal opinion there’s no real chance we’ll hold warming to 1.5 degrees, it’s very unlikely we’ll hold it to 2 degrees, and in all…

To top it off, extreme heat stunts the growth of staple crops. If the world warms 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), a level that’s deemed somewhat safe under the Paris Agreement, U.S. corn production could drop an alarming 18 percent. Other countries could also see double digit drops, increasing the risk of…
