Maybe its because I am in a bad mood today. Maybe its because I am now a middle aged male. I am not at company number 9 in my career. I spent well over two decades in the tech industry and now work at an older established financial firm. If I could retire today I would. None of the companies I worked for really care…

GM has to make EV people want.  Part of the problem with EVs is they are too big, too expensive and too complicated.  If they can figure out how to make money selling the EV equivilant of a Honda Civic or Toyota Carola, they will be all set.  I’m not counting on it.

FIRST GEAR: Ah yes, loyalty pledges. This is something that’s coming into vogue across industries. If people are deemed not sufficiently excited or enthusiastic, they’re viewed as low performers or disloyal and removed from the business. I’ve heard of this happening in tech companies already.

I genuinely believe that, while a lot of idiots DO actually support Trump for some reason, the race only appears to be neck and neck because 1) the news media wants a horse race and refuses to cover Trump in any kind of critical way, sanitizing and filtering his actual words into something that seems more palatable…

If the thought of those two sociopathic billionaires revising the American democracy doesn’t scare the shit out of you, I don’t know that you care at all about America any longer.

They exist: They’re called the Equinox EV, Kona EV, Niro EV, and Ioniq EV.

Also, the “confederate flag” that everyone flies nowadays wasn’t even one of the *three* national flags the Confederacy used during it’s *five* years of existence. It also wasn’t one of the many Army flags they used. It was the navy flag, and it was only used for about two years at that.

As an old white guy who betrayed the white fragility brotherhood by being moderate, I too feel super owned.

I often wonder if there is a real correlation between the “aggro-ness” of someone’s online handle and their level of un-fitness for said aggression.

As a hard-left radical, I am giggling slash blinking confusedly.

Harley Davidson employs around 6,500 people. By contrast, Duke University employs nearly 65,000. And that’s just at the main campus(es) in Durham. Duke Energy has another 27,000. And Duke isn’t even a particularly huge university.

As a fellow lib, there’s nothing that makes me feel more “owned” than a complete stranger destroying his own property in a fit of pique over some bunch of strangers trying to make sure some other bunch of strangers are being treated fairly.

Peak all hat and no cattle.

Then you must also support banning diesel semis, which catch fire much more often.

There are tens of thousands of one-off vehicles that have been made, including ones with custom one-off chassis and engines. A vehicle of which there are a full 17 is far from “one of the rarest vehicles ever made.” Doubly so when it is just a trim package for a vehicle of which thousands were made, triply so when the…

Are electric vehicles more likely to catch on fire in event of a crash

Reason 7342820 I’ll never buy a Tesla to finance Elmo.

Clarence Thomas, I’m sure, can find a way to allow it. For a small consideration, I’m sure.

A two person rage-Tweeting Voltron made of colossal idiots. Guys, I’m starting to think we aren’t going to make it.
