Majority of Tesla shareholders are lifelong Muskies. It’s pretty much guaranteed the vote to pay him will pass, unless there’s an internal struggle for the seat (there isn’t). $56B for one person is an absurd amount. Something tells me he might be cashing out, now that people are getting cold feet with EVs. 

Well, Dune and a Bacon number of 2 is an automatic . . .

Now you know how I feel. Except I’ve read the Dune books and why on Earth they ruined the flicks by casting Timmy C. just baffles me to no end. Since he comes across as such a fey weakling, I just cannot buy him being Paul Atreides and becoming Muad’dib.  Suspension of disbelief went kerblooey.

Fortunately, we live on a planet where the threat from worms in the dirt is limited to the threat of the icky diseases then carry rather than digestion.

Pretty easy ND.  Mostly because of all the winter I get.  Then when it is summer, I’d rather be in something like the Miata I have.  If I still lived in the beach town from my youth - where there was about a half dozen of these running around - I’d probably change my mind.

This looks like every ‘60s beach movie, so if you live in SoCal along the beach, offer $2500 less and have it shipped to you.

An absolute No Dice however: if I had time, money, and know-how to fix it up, I’d probably buy it 😅

Their freedom to take your freedom away.

If you think it’s a productive use of his time (i.e. your dollars) to micro-manage such issues that’s up to you. This kind of thing is common and all about optics and dog whistles. Most people see that pretty clearly.

He’s trying to prove that being that hateful and stupid wasn’t just a primary campaign ploy to try to peel off Trumpists; no, he really is that hateful and stupid at his very core.

Well, the new “don’t say climate change” law bans gas appliance bans and offshore wind turbines and increases the usage of fossil fuels, so he’s “solving” the crisis by ensuring Florida sinks into the sea as fast possible. He’s like the captain of the Titanic, but aiming directly at the centre of the iceberg.

My car insurance went up 40% when I renewed this month. Clean driving record for the last 15 years. Home insurance went up 30% last year, never filed a claim. So glad our governor is addressing the out of control cost of living! No wait, he’s changing bridge colors and banning lab grown meat. 

the far right has made the word “freedom” not mean freedom anymore. 

It seems difficult to comprehend someone being offended by the colors of a bridge, and to hide such a clearly hateful mandate behind the auspices of love of country is despicable

If you’ve never drifted an AWD convertible in the snow with the top down, you don’t know what you are missing.

Worse - fan blades where no other aircraft has them when on the ground. At least the tail rotor is gone, but someone will be walking into one of those fans. 

even more spinning stuff to shred people into bits that get to close.

I’m fuzzy on what this means. Does it cut power to the rotor and let it autorotate to act as a wing (essentially flying like an airplane) or does it cut power to the wing engine that ISN’T counterbalancing the rotor and fly like a regular helicopter?

That’s probably why he turned it down:
