Google says otherwise, because words can have multiple meanings, so...

I’m no Musk Stan, but people are seriously missing what really went on here. Musk got convinced by some folks in his circle to do this, and then regretted it and tried to back out but couldn’t. The real string-pullers are the Saudis, who wanted access to the personal information of political dissidents on Twitter.

The plan was always to sell the debt. That’s what banks do with big loans like this. It generates cash to invest with and spreads risk around. It’s just that the damage he has done has made it impossible for them to get a reasonable price. There was speculation the Saudis would buy it up in anticipation of him

Interesting point. We are currently finishing a kitchen remodel. We are going with Wolf appliances (which are very high end)...because they having fucking knobs!!! Seriously, all other cooktops, ovens, etc. have gone to touchscreen and capacitive touch, and Wolfe has these trademark chunky red knobs that look great

Certainly it is safer to have a knob/button/tactile interaction rather than having every setting embedded in a touch screen; but I also think that think the tactile experience is somewhat part of the “luxury experience”. You have to feel the material and interact with it directly. There is a very distinct difference

I’m 48 and an engineer. I will never get used to controls in a screen that require me to take my eyes off the road for tasks that should be done by no-look tactile knobs or buttons. My wife has a Mercedes, and while the HVAC controls are technically physical controls - they are tiny aircraft-style toggles - they are

Autoblog called the interior “Luxury worth getting used to” and I think that’s a huge part of the problem. Even in Orange County, where there’s no shortage of luxury cars in younger hands, S-class drivers are old. Really, really, old. People who grudgingly use iPhones and take them either back to the store, or to the

Nice to see someone not kowtow to the “corporate interests” ...

Ah yes, we’re on the Dextero level of reporting, which is just copy+pasting reddit articles. At least they can have some hilarious quotes when trying to attribute credit to /u/I_FART_CUM_GHOSTS

Hey, be fair. All those quotation marks don’t place themselves.

Always handy when Reddit does my job for me too.

That’s true!  But we’re talking daily average, most people aren’t using their cutting boards every day.

You’re right. I quoted the wrong Jurassic Park. Thanks for that. Still, we bought the Benz because it was once a movie car :D

Oh, are you telling me that your cutting boards don’t lose *10 credit cards* worth of material a year?

These were not in the original Jurrasic Park movie—they were were in Jurrasic Park: The Lost World. Basically Jurrasic Park 2. Jurrasic Park primarily featured two vehicles—square headlight Wrangler and the boxy 90's Ford Explorer.

I don’t doubt they said that, about the credit cards n’ ‘at.

This was not condensation, this was a fish tank of water. It was 3/4 to 7/8 full. I have no idea if was older or newer, since there is no way to tell that I know of. 

it’s easy to put too much blinker fluid in

Complete aside, but I saw a Model 3 with a taillight full of water this past weekend. Not sure what was going on there, but it wasn’t right. 

2015 Tesla S. I really wanted to love that thing, but the constant repair issues ruined it for me.
