“the backup plan for Tesla will be autonomous vehicles”

Ah, so you can understand it when someone goes by a new name?

Ah, gotcha.  Well, at least for my part I think it’d be more impressive to put it in big-city terms so you get a bigger number!

One of the impact sci-fi books I’ve read over the years (can’t remember which one exactly) included a memorable idea that’s stuck with me: at the energy levels involved in a meteoric/cometary impact, a “sea impact” is a land impact, just with a bit of stuff in the way for a moment.

I like that the telephone sanitizers joke is so clearly dated now, similar to how the plots of so many older movies would be entirely negated by the existence of the cell phone. Amazing what the passage of time can affect that you wouldn’t necessarily have expected.

I’m genuinely curious where that casualty figure could possibly come from, since it’s EXTREMELY dependent on the city.

I’m starting to think you’re not a real doctor.

My favorite story about how lazy he is was from the campaign, when he (allegedly but it’s true) offer Kasich the VP slot with the promise that he would be responsible for “domestic and international” issues.  Leaving the question of what exactly would be left for Trump to do if he outsourced both halves of the job to…

Particularly this one.

““Nobody’s going to work from home, they’re going to be going out, they’re gonna play tennis, they’re gonna play golf. They’re gonna do a lot of things—they’re not working.””

““But I’m actually synonymous with big-picture thinking.””

“This is what happens when you have someone with too much money and not enough sense in charge of things that ignores the rules.”

“Nissan’s Pride Killed Its Merger With Honda.”

Trump outright said that in the early days of Covid-19, so it tracks.

farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

Isn’t it something that the oldest man ever elected to this position wants to make sure we burn as much oil as possible.

Donald Trump has resigned! While shitting himself thoroughly! Also then he swallowed all his pills and has entered the sweet embrace of Death!

One almost has to wonder if it’s simply a reflection of staggering markups applied to these in the first place.

Hard to say, since if it had been in the middle of nowhere maybe they’d have shot him.

Complaining to the NHTSA, an agency of the federal government, that Tesla isn’t getting back to you, while the guy atop Tesla is currently a shadow President sacking the federal government like a Visigoth through Rome.  Best of luck, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
