2nd Gear: I think the difference is that NUMMI was just used to build cars. Tesla uses that plant for production as well as developing new models.

Frankly, Uber is much like the United States. It’s a concept that works even with a loudmouthed buffoon at the helm. The idea is bigger than the boss, and it will survive until someone more capable emerges to run it.

Penny-Arcade can actually be funny, and often still is! But you wouldn’t know it if your only exposure was Kotaku’s “Worst Of” compilation they seem dead set on making.

You can’t demand on time 24 hour service and then complain about service disruptions when stations, signals and tracks are being upgraded so that we can run 24 hour on time service. You can’t have it both ways.

I’ll say this much...Fusion is no Gawker. What you have is watered downed political hullabaloo somewhat tangentially related to the site the article is posted on.

Two more things:

Tips from this guy’s perspective, a formerly frequent user of tinder/bumble/OKC/other dating site (seriously I had them all):

“The cutie in the pic is my niece!

I’m sure she means white is the only color born inherently racist.

“...talk to your kids (if they’re white) about the harm of racist speech...”

That’s why Jason’s choice is the correct one. Buy it for $27k, use the rest of the money for maintenance.

Why no pricing information for Google? The article has pricing information for every service but that one.

3rd Gear: Here’s the issue I have with pilot-less planes. When airlines start facing money problems (or shareholders aren’t getting a big enough dividend) the first people to get laid off are the aircraft maintenance personnel.

Gee, Patrick, way to set off my work’s Web filter. This is why we can’t have nice things. :(

I know my neighbors by their dogs. Dogs are good neighbors.
