I love how you’re praising Musk/Tesla/TBC for taking the long, hard route to inventing a shitty subway that handles a fraction of the load of an actual subway system, while still requiring a similar infrastructure.

Bill Gates could code.  Give him credit.

Just remember: Musk is not an engineer, scientist, or visionary. He is just a rich businessman who hires STEM people, and takes credit for their accomplishments.

“How this is worth dropping millions on as opposed to, say, blocking out a dedicated bus lane, I do not know.”

You forgot honking your horn to the cadence of  ‘shave and a haircut’

Imagine the surprise of the Musk cultists when they go to use one of these tunnels and realize that the trip is going to cost $50 because that’s the dynamic toll required to keep the tunnel from being just another traffic jam.

The “autonomous” part is pretty meaningless in a tube with only one way to go. That’s like saying a roller coaster is really profound because it’s “automated” to go around on the track. 

I think Melon Tusk deserves a COTD right there for that pearl of a sentence.

It’s not driving in a tunnel. It’s hooked up to a motorized track. It’s a fucking subway train. Nothing profound about that.

It’s Elon. Teslas in Tunnels is probably super profound because it spells TITs.

seems like its just adding a really expensive HOV lane, but for a single brand only.

Meanwhile in the Boring Machine Operations Center and source of much profundity...

So he was already on rocky terms at work?  Nevermind the fact that he worked for a supervisor who was comfortable using the n-word with an employee, which kind of says the entire place was OK with a racist running things.  No way that effected how he was viewed at work.

From the same AP article :

So the use of racial slurs doesn’t denote hostility? So we’re just exchanging ideas right? It’s all merely an argument. A mere difference of opinion that has no affect on how you feel about a situation correct?

You know, this would be cool if it had been done better. Sadly, the builder’s woodworking skills were just not up to the task of making the bodywork look decent. Show me some compound curves! Show me some beautiful grain! It just looks like it was made with plywood and a bandsaw, which it likely was. It’s hideous and…

I’m not sure about the high standard when I look at the piece of scrap wood under the rear fender thing necessary to hold it up off the ground.

I’m a cowboy...on a wood horse I ride.

Trump’s artificial stamina will be flattening as he withdraws from the dexamethasone steroid (6 times as powerful as prednisone) that propelled him into his joyride. Either that or he’ll stay pumped up on a very dangerous drug and get crazier by the minute.
