The problem is that $25k cars only work at massive scale because the margins are so slim/nonexistent. Niche manufacturers who make electric cars can’t build at that scale, so they need to load the cars with luxury/tech features to justify the price they can be profitable at.

The Israelis have been all but bragging about this one. This isn’t just random speculation.

I got a comfy couch, all the booze I can drink, and a nice TV with a surround sound setup. Bring it on.

Let’s be honest here. As head of design and part of the development of this car, I bet he was able to flog pre-production versions until his heart was content. Why bother tracking yours, when you’ve already done plenty of laps on the company’s dime? He’s selling now because he’s sitting on a gold mine and can turn a…

The proposed 5km (50,000 feet) test flight

6.57 or not, he married a “legit snack.”

What the actual fuck? I mean... I have to go through the hassle of negotiating just to find out whether or not I actually like the car?

Mi him, can de lach, mi him, min en tow. Tak!

As I understand it, one of the unique benefits of Aricebo was that it could transmit as well as listen. Most radio telescopes can’t do that. It could essentially be used as a giant radar ,which made it very useful in accurately tracking asteroids and assisting with planetary defense efforts in that regard.

Eh. It will likely still make me chuckle. Seamen had some funny moments.

we seem to be living in two different realities and neither side wants to hear from the other

At least we will still get to see him do something. I don’t know what I would do if I lost both him and Craig Ferguson.

Agreed. I would gladly get in line versus having to get lucky or camp a website. I have a job and life. Let me put my name on a list and let me know when it ships.

Just my family and my mother-in-law (who has been part of our quarantine bubble throughout) this year. 5 people total, only 1 of whom doesn’t live in the same house. My brother-in-law who lives out of town is skipping this year as part of efforts to keep everyone safe.

Yeah, not buying it. Electronic components generally fail with a “pop” and one puff of smoke before shutting down entirely. They don’t smolder and smoke like an old truck.

I don’t think we know either way. I mean, yes, I presume it was Boba, but, being a clone, it also could have been any of the other clone trooper characters that we know survived the wars.

At what point do we stop paying for an obscenely priced service that keeps canceling all of its best series?

Can you support your argument for this further? How was Washington crossing the Delaware a war crime?

Dude. This is a TERRIBLE take.

Actually, from your description, it sounds like you do have sleep paralysis. The scenario you are describing is sort of the mild version that I get sometimes in place of the full blown episodes. Just add the absolute CERTAINTY that a menacing presence is looming over you, and you are there.
