4th: Not many did.

If people bought smaller cars, auto companies would pollute less, because smaller cars take less energy to manufacture. When you fly somewhere, the airplane emissions get pinned on Southwest or Delta, not the passenger. Cow farts get charged to the farmer rather than the eater. It’s easy to pin it on big corporations,…

“Not going to be a deep dive"...

You mean like the shoe company?

No. A 757's endurance is around 9 hours, I can’t quickly find a reference but its ETOPS is probably also 180. For transatlantic, there’s no need for more. Also, the 757 engines are around 43k max thrust, A320's are around 33k. Not all that different. Thrust to weight ratios are about the same, .158 for the 757 and…

Smartphones were 2% of the market in 2005 and 79% in 2015.

Or, you know...basic economics.

An attempt to escape software designed to find this type of thing? Instead of leaving the background the same so you just have to compare pixel for pixel anything away from the truck, tweak it just enough so none of the background is actually the same.

Possibly using the wheel being at a certain threshold to engage this turning mode through electric motors. That seems like it might be specific enough to classify as novel.

Obvious jokes aren’t trolling. They’re just jokes.

Along with SmartSuite.

COT...oh, wait.

Ford has a modeling agency.

Our 2019 Pilot gets pretty much the same mileage as a 2008 Impala. People buying $40k cars new aren’t going to get pinched much by the difference in getting 22mpg vs 35mpg. Not going to see the demand for smaller, more efficient cars like in 2009, because the new car market has already shifted away from budget-minded…

Last decade?

Would I buy a Chinese start-up’s car?

Well, we didn’t hear how the dream ended. Clearly dreaming Jason was unsuccessful due to giving them only a trivia question, the activity he was trying to veil was discovered, and he was sentenced to live out his life driving only T&Cs and Camrys.

4th: Devil is in the details. What’s immediately after being done charging? What’s the fee? If it’s $1 three minutes after being topped off, ok, it’s a wrist slap to encourage people to not abuse the spaces. $20, 15 seconds after being done? Different story.

Takes me back to the good ole’ days of Jalopnik, when they had more than two decent writers, and the commentariat seemed a bit higher quality. But maybe that’s just nostalgia kicking in.
