Says someone who probably has never lived in NYC.

Waiting for “this is why you’re not the head of marketing” comment in 3...2...1...

So if I were the head of marketing, I’d just lob that 20% capacity off the spec sheet and call it 80KW (instead of 100KW) battery pack, and say it’ll fully charge in less than X minutes. Problem solved.

So, this will impact far more whites than blacks, and most of those whites impacted are his voters.

If you’ve been to China, you know this is a rather normal occurrence. While living in China on assignment, I’ve often witnessed things like this, or driving the wrong way, or seeing a car coming towards you on a highway off-ramp, and a thousand other things that would cause me to road rage. Speed limits and signs are…

And we deny export or expatriation of technology to other countries that we deem national security sensitive. We also force (foreign or domestic) companies to sell off pieces if the FTC feels they’re violating the Sherman Act. So it’s OK when we do it, but not them? Like it’s OK for white folks to own guns but not…

I have one of these. While it’s better than nothing, unless you’re really pushing it all the time (and sweat in your oxford shirt & slacks) or doing it for 5~6 hours a day, it’s probably better doing an hour of higher intensity workout at a gym. There’s an online calculator that actually measures the calories burned…

For many years I worked with different multinational companies that dealt with the Chinese government. The positions I had often required me to work with local and central government agencies, state owned banks and SOEs, and their representatives. One of the more recurring comments I got from some of these folks…

You should add “please don’t download the EPUB from a torrent” as well.

Exactly. And the Bolt is hideous, FWD, and while drives better than the Spark EV (which I owned) and is as good as the Volt (which I owned), it’s still not a great driving car. But then, the Bolt isn’t designed for Jalops.

I’ve been using Samsung Pay for just over a year now and I love it. The ability to virtually “swipe” magnet strips using the phone is awesome, and the added security is a huge bonus. The only time I don’t get to do that is when I’m at a restaurant and the waiter must take my card away. Why can’t we have what the…

I had an ‘06 Cayman S, and the biggest mistake I’ve ever made was to sell it when I was posted overseas on a multi-year assignment - I should have just put up the $ for the storage.

Maybe Tesla really should rename its system to something like “Driver Assist” like every other automaker has done.

More reason to never visit Oklahoma.

Aren’t all non-manual Subies come equipped with a soul-sucking CVT now?

Paired with a soul-sucking CVT. No thanks.

These look exactly like the Taotronics set I just bought for $25.

Word of caution on retinoid/retinol: it works, works really well for stubborn wrinkles (like those on your forehead) and those around the corner of your eyes, but for god’s sake make sure you slather on sunscreen after you apply it or else your forehead will get sunburnt really easily. Ask me how I know.

Is driving in high heels safe?

My parents had an ‘87 Maxima. I remember in ‘89 or so they offered the “Omega Maxima” with a body kit, I was so excited to see one as a little kid.
