Half a second a lap slower and they still finished that Silverstone race a lap down. It’s not -that- close.

In the 2019-20 season of the FIA WEC the current spec Toyota TS050 has had its hybrid system detuned significantly which has left the heavier Toyotas a little bit hamstrung in comparison to the Rebellion Racing R13 LMP1.

How did you get the photo of Mike Pence during his Coronavirus briefing?

I think the convention is that on one hand we are getting stories saying people at the plants are getting sick; and on the other hand we are being told they are not.

Good on Ohio for making GM pay back the incentive that they tried to pocket and weasel out of their end of the bargain.

Rivian has consistently, quietly, and with great maturity, kept pushing forward with development in a way that’s rightfully earned them a great degree of admiration. Had I the technical skills to be able to pick and choose one company to work for, that’s where I’d hang my hat.

See THIS is why I believe in Rivian.
Their CEO isn’t a massive fucking prick (very much the opposite) and they waited until they had actual functioning vehicles out testing in the real world before they even officially announced what they were working on.
Obviously, it very well could all be sloppy and cobbled together…

I would argue that a month ago, hanging out and eating pizza wasn’t a great idea but I assume you are in a location that wasn’t (and possibly isn’t) hit hard at the time. I can’t speak to your company specifically, but this is my take:

I mean, the US doesn’t really have a functioning court system, either …

Probably so they’ll send people back we want. Their proximity to China and N Korea likely also leads to the US gov wanting to stay cozy there. 

Saturday! Saturday! Saturday! It’s the Covid Trumpy and the Republican Deniers! This may be your last chance to see the them, so hurry up and come on down to Tulsa!

We are still in the first wave. Numbers dropped because the 3 main hit spots got it under control. Otherwise numbers have still been trending upwards.

No one is saying that we shouldn’t start doing things again. The mandatory stay at home orders have been lifted. But people need to stop acting like its fucking back to normal. Not wearing masks is probably the stupidest thing a person can do right now, both in terms of possibly contracting Covid and for spreading it.…

You can thank the owner for making his bike loud. It didn’t come from the factory that way. 

Harley made inferior motorcycles. The younger buyers are not interested in slow, 900lb v-twins with questionable reliability. Very few are wrenching on their own bikes anymore. I’m resurrecting a first gen goldwing and Honda definitely made the better motorcycle. Those things just run forever if maintained. Same goes…

Well there is one, it is easier to get funding and investment. One of the key criteria in how easy it is to get external funding and/or investments is how little you actually really need it. The more you might need it, the less likely you are to be offered it. Yay, capitalism.

This is all mostly a shot at Harley’s pride, as being among the S&P 500 doesn’t confer companies with any special privileges, it’s more just that a committee of people thinks your company is big enough to be there, which Harley, these days, simply isn’t.

That’s because... Tesla Defenders are easy to trigger.

Anything Kei car sized is DOA in America. Pedestrian requirements, rear tail light height, and crash protection would make this design impossible.
