“Stuffed with tech”? It doesn’t even have adaptive cruise, let alone the Autopilot in Teslas. Nor does it have a huge high-speed charging network like Tesla’s Superchargers, reducing practicality for longer trips. And last I checked, Chevrolet was not exactly synonymous with quality. Quite the opposite.

The officially reported attendance was 60,128. Funny how many of them came dressed up as empty seats...

Maybe, but Biggio never went to the DL for a HBP-induced injury, did he?

Nothing in that article says that people were preordering a base model. Yes, it says “198,000 people across the globe placed reservations for the $35,000 Model 3, Tesla’s long-promised car for middle-class buyers” - the author is trying to work in the base price as a descriptor, assuming that many readers would not…

“The car all 500,000 dropped cash for is the $35k, 220 mile version.” Where the hell did you get that from? I put down $2000 on Day 1, refundable, for the right to buy two Model 3's before non-reservation-holders got the right to do so. There were no questions about what version I wanted, and no guarantees about the…

Who the hell cares.

Uh, you may want to check the definition of “gambit”. It is not a synonym for, or even related to, the word “gamble”. Approaching a car which may or may not be occupied is not a “gambit”.

“If you don’t narrow your car choice down to two or (max) three cars before even going to the dealers you’re doing it wrong.” ... That’s easy to say if you have experience with a lot of different cars, but what if you don’t?

The “Elam Ending” - at the first stoppage of play with three minutes or less on the clock, turn off the clock, and set a target score, the higher of the two team’s scores plus seven. Whoever reaches the target first wins. (So if it’s 100-95, then first to 107 wins; the trailing team has to score 12 before the…

Um, Excel does numerous things that Numbers doesn’t, but Numbers also does things that Excel doesn’t. I have both, I use both, but when possible I prefer Numbers; I find it to be far more elegant, especially its decoupling of sheets and tables, and a better match for how I work.

Excuse me? You say that people in red states need to be saved from policies THEY CHOSE, which is just about the most patronizing and condescending statement ever, and then call OTHER people “elitist pricks”? Check the mirror.

Not actually the same team that was the RLCS runners-up - that was Paschy90, Deevo, and ViolentPanda, this is Miztik, Kaydop, and Fairy Peak. Both sponsored by Mock-It, both excellent teams, but not the same team.

Speaking as a resident of Sacramento... thank you, Deadspin, for helping rid us of this disgraceful piece of shit!

Niantic’s history with Ingress isn’t encouraging. The intel map they provide has always been inadequate for large op planning, and virtually every agent working on such ops uses IITC instead. Even Niantic employees have been seen using IITC. Early versions of IITC taxed the servers, but that hasn’t been an issue for…

Sure, Israel’s image may look like a romance novel about fucking an airplane. But if you want an actual romance novel about fucking an airplane, Hugo Award nominated author Chuck Tingle is there for you!

Uhhhh... what big, popular sport would that be? Televised poker became huge in 2002-2003, with the introduction of hole card cameras to ESPN’s WSOP coverage, and the debut of the World Poker Tour. There were no strikes in major sports those years.

I doubt that many people were just there to scalp. However, I personally encountered several people in line who put down reservations for two, despite only expecting to buy one. I did the same. Maybe a relative will want one? Maybe reselling it will be profitable? It’s refundable, who cares, keep your options open.

Not mentioned: Having an earlier reservation could mean not just between having a Model 3 a few months earlier, but getting to buy a Model 3 with the $7500 tax credit vs a $3750 or $1875 tax credit, as Tesla will reach the 200k threshold for vehicles shipped somewhere early in the Model 3's run.

I’m not lining up overnight, but I’ll be putting my $1000 down tomorrow morning. What I’m unsure about is if I should have my girlfriend do the same. There’s no chance we’ll want to buy two Model 3's for the household, but doesn’t it seem likely that they’ll be in high enough demand that we can flip the second one for…

For one, you’re off by an order of magnitude, 1 in 200 American men is under a million. For another, why would you hear about it? I have uncorrected distal hypospadius. It takes a little extra effort to pee straight. It affects my life in no other way. Very few people look closely at my penis, none of them are…
