Possibly unpopular take?: It doesn’t feel like 2016 again, because IIRC there was a general sense then that of course Trump wouldn’t actually win and even he seemed surprised that he did.

Lived in TX for a decade before coming to AZ so I know exactly what you’re talking about—you just drip from the humidity. But now it’s so hot, that you just bake. Need groceries? I’m there when they open: 6AM—screw going there midday and being lasered by the Sun.

The driver might have walked away without injuries, but not with clean underwear. 

If the only thing preventing me from certain death is my car’s AC- I would just plain avoid going to this place.

Here’s the thing though. Even those $56b on paper is still from the company’s funds on paper. It’s not like they can print a piece of paper and he has $56 on paper out of nowhere. It still comes from some pool. And while it’s true that companies don’t have nearly that much cash on hand, nor capital, such a large…

That’s why I wrote “assets”. And those assets transferred to his control are not helping Tesla in the long run.

I can say with certainty at least one is, my 2006 Charger. I tried to get it fixed when the recall came out but was told parts weren’t available. Every time I’d follow up, at various dealerships, I was always told the same. When the engine crapped out and I sold it to a mechanic I made it very clear that the recall…

While I completely agree with this take, we need to assign similar outrage for distracting driving. Studies have shown it’s just as (if not more) deadly than driving under the influence. Yet, I wonder if he had been arrested for texting while driving if the story would be similar?

In the rear seat we once found magic in the rhythmic dance of power line shadows racing across our laps. Today, that enchanting ballet is replaced by the glow of handheld zombie-screens. Yet that silent waltz of light and shadow still continues outside the window, yearning to entertain and to become delight for the…

I don’t really see Uber solving any global problems here. So basically instead of driving your car from point a to point b and back, they think it’s better to have them drive from point y to pick you up at point a then drive to point b, then drive to another point x for someone else, then repeat the circuit for your…

I’ve known and known of many drug dealers in my time, and none of them ever gave anything away.

100%. This is an Ese’s car.

Cube Zero is terrible and Army of Darkness isn’t a prequel. Can’t argue with Saw X though, that was surprisingly decent.

we wouldn’t be surprised if demand starts to fall off once the early adopters have all gotten theirs.

I expect that every single production vehicle has brakes which will evert enough braking force to overcome the peak torque of the engine. That’s basic safety. That’s why the Toyota “run away accelerator” crash was actually driver error.

I don’t believe the temp I see when I start the car, especially in hot weather. Once I’ve been moving for a bit, it usually settles down more or less in line with other sources (phone, displays on business signs along the road).

But those aren’t dogs, those are their “fur babies”.
