To be honest with you, it was a moment from an ordinary day, during 6th (or maybe, it was in the 7th grade), when I was accused of “wanting to be white” by a black classmate because I did speak with very little AAVE or the current popular slang, at the time. Since the tail end of puberty, my voice changed into what I…

Holy shit, that’s like the worst game of fuck, marry, kill ever.

You realize that these two are just Bill and Hillary Clinton 2.0 don’t you?

As much as I like how clean this car is, and as much as I like the Beretta,  this is a "Honey, I put the car on Craigslist, I don't know why nobody is buying." Pricing. CP. 

LOLOLOL. Tesla isn’t some struggling boutique automaker, hand-building prototypes with hand tools in the back of an English shed. They already have stamping machinery and paint shops. Those things aren’t some massive obstacle, and if they are, your company is already doomed.

Maintaining flatness across large stretches of sheetmetal, especially thick bent sheet metal is more expensive in production than stamping a profile. Stamped profiles can have a certain amount of deviation before people start to notice but non straight lines are easily picked up by the human eye. This is why we all…

Tesla already owns production lines with all the systems you're claiming they're avoiding. Your argument fails both the smell test and any application of Occam's Razor. 

What’s the estimated offset between steel stressed body and a ladder frame under a more conventional body?

He said in the presentation that it’s a 2021 model year vehicle. Anyone would assume any other manufacturer was presenting a more or less finished vehicle, otherwise they’d just call it a concept car. Which is what this is.

He took the same calculus and diff eq as any other engineer...not that this is particularly complex math. What does his experience have to do with basic geometry and vectors?

I just finished the French Revolution

This list would be much more defensible if titled “My Favorite Podcasts of the 2010s” (purely subjective) or “The Best Podcasts of the 2010s” (pretty subject, but you still need some criteria to defend what makes them the best), but to call this a list of the podcasts which defined the decade means thinking much more…

Good ones on this list. Cumtown is worth skipping.

After the opening paragraph explained just why the “one per year” format is ill suited to podcasts, I was hoping it would just be the ten best of the decade. Alas. Seems like a silly way to format this given that so many hit their stride ~2017.

PMT is really good.  THe rest of Barstool lives on the “Here’s how to bet the rent money” to “Sexual harassment and assault, a how-to guide” genre

Reminder: This list and every Podmass is just AVClub recommending whatever fits their milquetoast neo-liberal agenda. Refer to comments section for what people actually are listening to and enjoying. 

Bodega Boys is definitely the best non-Chapo choice for 2016, but I’ll put their case in here: we basically still live in 2016, with everything pivoting from that moment, and Chapo tapped into that moment in a way that few others have. Right around the time the podcast launched during the Sanders campaign, hosts…

Voted NP. Don’t care. I’ll be the one. This thing is freaking incredible. It would be endless fun for 0-40 stoplight drag races to embarrass all number of cars. I’d go somewhere full of tech bros driving Ferrari’s and pick on them until I inevitably got too cocky and ended up dead, on fire, squished like a sardine in…

Using the term “designed” in regards to whatever this is is a MAJOR stretch.
