That’s such a stupid statement too. “Meh, it’s only wearing on the sidewall - what’s the worst that could happen?” 

Hmm looks like something they should have identified if they, you know, tested it.

That fluff piece he did on the cyberclunk was a real turning point for me on Cammisa.

Remember when Cammisa spent 30 minutes praising the engineering and ingenuity of the Cybertruck on YouTube? I was almost convinced that this... this thing could be actually good. Now I’ve lost quite a bit of respect for the guy, as not long after that video was posted, underlying problems were brought to light in the…

When buying isn’t owning, pirating isn’t stealing.

Folks started becoming cool with buying off Amazon, iTunes and Bandcamp ... etc. But in the age of you own nothing, it’s all a subscription and a license that can be taken away at anytime, regardless of what you were charged or what the TOS says. The enshitification and over confidence of capitalism has caused this.…

I dig it. Maybe I can afford one in about 15 years.

I generally regard Jim Farely as one of the less-dumb CEO’s but holy shit:

Of all the scams ever pulled on the American people, linking cars to freedom has to be the biggest. Cars aren’t freedom. They’re expensive and the damage that having “Just Drive” as the default answer to every problem has caused so many more self perpetuating problems.

Leave earlier. 

Money talks and celebs walk.

Clearly it wouldn’t have to be every car. You just make old-enough cars exempt. No different than seat belt laws. We mandated cars have seat belts, and then much later we mandated (in many states) that you have to wear your seatbelt while driving.

I think they’re trying to stop people killing each other.

I have a house in Nevada. Nice try. 

Yeah, but they also have functional public transit which does a lot of legwork re drunk driving.

Hell here in Austin, we have an 85 mph stretch of highways and everyone is doing 95-100 safely on those!

Be as stupid as you like on your own property, when you aren’t putting the lives of others at risk. You have every right to pursue your own happiness, until it puts the life or liberty of others at risk.

I used to live in Nevada where 85 MPH speed limits exist. The extra danger and fuel consumption isn’t worth it. I’ve been noticing semi trucks are increasingly getting much faster as well, which is a huge issue. 

IMO, this bill doesn’t go far enough. All new cars should have a hard 80 MPH limiter on the street, and the national highway speed limit should never exceed 70 MPH.
