However, I have to think that taking money from people for a product you can’t actually deliver has to begin to hurt at some point.

So they made $100,000,000 from Cybertruck reservations and $50,000,000 from Roadster reservations. That’s $150,000,000 for nothing.

Any word on Tesla changing course on allowing their owners to use their car as a backup power source for their home, as Ford does?

Yea, I concur with Killa K. If you didn’t like Spectre... you aren’t going to like NTTD. NTTD feels like 2-3 movies mashed into one and while beautifully shot... has the little narrative coherence/logic and is basically multiple set pieces on various pretty locales strung together.

For example, maybe a used up something or other drops into US Soil and lands on some houses. Is this cause for war? 

Yea... its sounds like the author is a bit “hangry” for juicy details about the new phone, so they can write an article... but OnePlus has been only leaving tiny crumbs of info that are “even too small for a mouse.”

For more info that the author didn’t mentioned... the previous model OnePlus 9. As you can see the main…

The prior trailer shows him refusing to kill children/innocents, even though he claimed to have no problem doing so in The Suicide Squad. Maybe he’s even further disillusioned with the notion of (American) ‘peace’ following his murder of Flag and almost murder of Ratcatcher 2, both seemed to affect him greatly so you…

Personally, I dislike the need to always have the nominal stakes be ever increasing in sequels. What matters more is the “emotional stakes”... sometimes the fear of losing someone/something you have made personal connection to during the movie is much more compelling than the billions of unnamed people in danger.

Yea, I do not doubt that the “Happiest Country” in the world has a dark side... but centuries of entrenched racism and alcoholism aren’t going to be solved overnight... they are more of a slow grind type of problems... so I don’t see many issues in such country that would require a prime minister to keep working every…

TIL - Finland only has a population of 5M spread out across the area of California, with the largest city metro of about 1M (e.g. San Francisco). It ranks in the top 5 in terms of reading, math and science PISA test scores in the world and has one of the world lowest levels of unemployment and poverty as well.

There is no way this makes it into a Canon camera for several years. It will 2023 when the first 3.2MP sensors for security cameras will come out. Probably another 2 years before they bump up it to at least 12MP.

Also... with the image will have “color information” it will not be “good color information” as typically…

I saw a Youtube video that was titled something like “Riverdale the TV Show that went complete Insane” and basically said that writers have discovered that their viewership actually went up when they dropped all pretense of plot coherence after like the first Season 1 and just started throwing in tons of Soap-Opera…

I think my Prince analogy doesn’t fit as I remember now that he switched his name to that symbol because Warner Brother trademarked his actual name for as also his stage name... he switched back to Prince once most of the contract issues with WB was resolved... so maybe “Fresh Prince” or “The Rock” are better examples.

It is wild to me she’s still going by that name. Fucking baffling. Just be Nora already. You’re not going to lose jobs, or money, by ditching your ill-considered parody rap video name.

It was a stage name that she randomly when she was joking around with a friend as a 16 year old...

how many people actually get their sample genetically sequenced?

AFAIK... Tesla always gives you two physical keys with the car (key fobs for Model S/X, a key card for 3/Y). You never actually need to install/use the app if you don’t want to. The key fobs work even if they run out of battery (although they are less convenient in that mode)

As also someone mentioned, the phone can be…

So basically... if you don’t bring your car keys with you... you can get locked out of your car? When is that not true?

I would only use app like that as a backup. I mean you would equally be screwed if there was a power outage, internet outage, or you just accidentally drove to a cell signal deadzone and parked your…

You are right... I did not know that (I might have read it and forgotten). But again... unlike GoT... Three Body Problem is tricky to directly adapt imo. You have the all Chinese main characters and a strong undercurrent of Chinese history/culture to the storyline.

Hah! I’m just found the casting picks and they DID…

That’s an interesting idea... there is a lot less action in the “Three Body Problem” so it would be much more like the Miller “noir detective” arc of Season 1. Heck you even have a mystery girl... in Yang Dong just like how Miller was “chasing” Julie Mao.

It would be interesting to see how they would handle the…
