Very well done and definitive comment. I would add I think Sergio’s problem is also that he has proven failure under his belt Or his company, at least). Musk hasn’t had a catastrophic failure (yet). Delays, yes. Lack of money, yes. But FCA, formerly part of Daimler, formerly part of... etc... is not particularly…

That's OK because, historically speaking at least, 18 months in Elon time is like 4 years.

From the Toronto Sun, a longtime Conservative bastion:

What particular risks are you worried about? Fear-mongering about a “loop-hole” in regulating something where no risks have been identified is absurd. Regulating, especially in areas like this, is not free. It takes time, people, and money. All three can be used for more important things that actually effect people.…

The alteration of enzyme activity by deletion/base-pair substitution is no different from what results from natural processes (i.e. cosmic rays) on a daily basis in all organisms without human intervention. It’s what accounts for individual variation apart from meiotic inheritance/recombination. In fact, the very…

I don’t get it... This sounds like a good thing. Why does it need to be regulated? They just made a mushroom that doesn’t brown. What am I missing? Is it just because people are irrationally scared of GMOs?

Not surprising, though. The entire solar system is made up from interstellar debris. Sol is not a first generation star, and our space is littered with heavy elements only formed in dying stars. And we’re moving through space around the galactic center at a fantastic rate of speed as well, sweeping up interstellar…

Well if you go at them with a big bill and go “Tough, but we do it all or nothing” then yeah, they walk away and you’re out an hour or two of labor time. And sometimes what they thought would be a 100$ repair is a 1000$ repair and you know they can’t afford it and, well, you’re not getting money that doesn’t exist.…

My grandpa used to be the mold pioneer for LOF glass in toledo. I remember him telling alot about the production of front wind screens. Even subtle/minute differences in glass thickness across the viewing pane will create distortions like this as well. I would be willing to bet that, that is the more production…

And they would respond:

AMCs weren’t concourse quality when new. They were like condition three cars right off the grease covered dealer lots.

He probably won’t end up in jail. Charges are almost always always reduced or dropped entirely by the time sentencing comes around. I bet he gets probation and one hell of an insurance increase and possibly a his license suspended for awhile. Taking him to jail is also a HUGE waste of taxpayer money. I’d rather him…

Car A goes 175MPH. Car B goes 55MPH in the exact opposite direction. What is the speed of car A relative to car B?

Because 150 won't kill kids but 175 will?

I think you missed the part where he said “across the center divider”... so if you’re doing 171, and there’s another vehicle on the other side poking along at 49, you have a 220 mph closing speed and instant death for everyone involved.

“could spend 90 days in jail” is a very different than “will spend 90 days in jail”

170 miles per hour is so fast that you’d need the length of a football field to slow down to 100 mph, then another football field to bring it to a complete stop, and the reaction time it took to recognize you should probably hit the brakes covered at least half of a third football field.

If he blows a tire, hits a deer, hydroplanes on a puddle, runs into an unexpected brick or hammer, or pretty much anything untoward happens...he can slide, still doing 150, into the back of a minivan full of kids, or across the center divider and have a 220mph head on.

Throw in a few of the interactions from the comics where Rocket points out that Tony is essentially an ignorant savage from a backwater planet (while casually disassembling and rebuilding tech Tony can’t yet wrap his head around) and I will probably leave the theater with a smile that lasts a few days.

All I want is a scene of Tony Stark, Rocket Raccoon, Thor and Jessica Jones at Luke’s Bar, knocking back a few very alcoholic drinks. Do that, Marvel and you will cinema for the rest of time.
