There’s something about the fact that both Mercedes and Chevy use arguably the nastiest NA V8s for their road cars but are just as at home when the same blend is placed in the AMG GT3 and Corvette C8R.

It’s Musk that’s actually advancing the space “race” although no one is competing with him. He’s making the advances necessary to eventually get to Mars. I have no doubt that Musk’s tech and crew will make it to Mars first. Branson and Bozo are just selling carnival rides to the elite. Neither are innovative or spark…

But private business bad, because the government can do the same thing but more expensively

Some days it appears less that someone is mad that their cheerios were peed in, and more that some asshole put cheerios in their bowl of pee.

Christ, when did we all get so jaded and misanthropic. We are in the second golden age of space travel and all you can do is shit on it.

5th Gear: These stories are not bad, necessarily, even though they celebrate capitalism.

Shilling can’t help himself when it comes to his limp wristed attempts to slam capitalism. 

You look at it the wrong way. Are Tesla cars more expensive than the competition at sticker price ? No they are not, they are already priced competitively vs the competition at sticker price. So why would they have to sell them with a discount? If other cars manufacturers would have this business model, their sticker…

3rd gear: She sits on the board of a Lidar company. Kind of relevant.

Ethereum has also shifted to a proof-of-stake position, so mining is limited to those coins that demand mining, aka Bitcoin.

The Aussie article calls it a front end loader. C’mon, tractors are literally designed to pull things; it’s in the name from which “traction” derives. This has nowhere with which to pull.
