It’s not really clear what else the city can do at this point.

I mean I didn’t really need ANOTHER reason to never go on a cruise, I already have poverty, thalassophobia, enochlophobia, and IBS, but okay

Is it possible - and hear me out here - that Skelton doing an awful Mexican accent opposite actual Mexican-American and notoriously sonorous dude Ricardo Montalban is in fact part of the joke about what a shabby con man he is, and not a cruel dig in broad strokes against all Latin Americans? Because I feel like that’s…

It’s wild how there are all these horrible diseases most Americans don’t know or care about that are absolutely horrifying to most of the world. Like you hear “watch out for Snookiwooki they have it in Florida now” then you google it and it turns out Snookiwooki kills 350 million people a year through eye bleeding.

So the bad news is that mosquitos are actually pretty important. The males don’t drink blood - they are pollinators who eat nectar. Mosquitos are also a key food source for birds, bats, and some freshwater fish. Because larger animals eat all of those, eliminating the mosquito would have a cascading effect up the food…

I watched like 2 episodes of Arcane and it was boring as unbuttered toast. I guess it looked pretty good in a clone wars/bad batch kind of style?

Here’s a whole press piece about the retention clause for the 911 S/T: https://www.thedrive.com/news/porsche-911-s-t-will-be-leased-to-buyers-for-the-first-year-to-deter-scalpers

Cynical mode:

Every time you fart into a chair droid it hates you a little more. And eventually, that hate can no longer be controlled. And a chair that hates stops being a chair... and starts being a monster.

Just a reminder that Ford did this with both the second and third generation GT, and Porsche does it with almost every new model. This is a pretty standard tactic to control prices and generate exclusivity. It’s shitty, sure, but it’s not exclusive to Tesla.

Hey, a Cybertruck that’s actually rust-resistant

What’s ironic is that while this article is a whole lot of nothing, back in the 80s an employee of Toyota’s Japanese financing bank formed Happy Science, arguably the most influential cult in Japan (now that most of Aum Shinriku’s members are dead or in prison). I guess that wouldn’t have let them also rope in TikTok…

I saw Blue Thunder, I have a pretty good idea what the cops are up to in that last 10% of flight time

Public funds for public land, makes sense to me.

Steering lag would make the driver’s reaction delay WORSE, it’s not a minimum bar that has to fit inside it. First you react to turn the wheel, then the turn happens.

I think that would be true IF so many car companies didn’t also own the financing banks that most car buyers go through for their loans. As it is now, they do, and so selling cars at a sub-MSRP price to the dealer is more than worth it when they also collect interest on a loan for potentially tens of thousands of…

“Who drives the TVR Sagaris?”

The BA-64?

The downside to pushing a crooked system full of criminals that only exists to let you false advertise the prices of your products before grossly inflating them is that those criminals might also cheat you
