To the extent that men are “pushed” to power (societal pressure, etc.), women could certainly use some of the same. There are many men who would not be in positions of power if not for that push, and it seems to me that it would be a lot more achievable to try to extend that pressure to women (and minorities) than to…

he’s launching a battery and powertrain startup in Redwood, California.

Sales are much more of a limiting factor than battery supply constraints. And I don’t see how your logic explains the success of the Prius, which is the specific market audience GM is trying to capture with the Volt and Bolt.

The maximum tax increase is 2% per year, and it’s reassessed at 1% of sale price when sold. Anyone who is being “priced out of their home” with a 2%/year increase of a property tax that started at 1% of the home’s value couldn’t afford that home in the first place.

but the people who held shit together, and refused to be terrorised out are now being forced to sell because of cray real estate sales which fucks up your assessment, so you have to sell.

You are correct: GM, Nissan, BMW, Ford, et al have not built a charging network. They also weren’t building gas stations 100 years ago, and that turned out fine.

The Volt and the Bolt are the two most-awarded cars in GM’s history. The former is still (for the time being) the highest selling EV in American history, and the latter just finished its phased 50-state rollout and is on track to finish as the highest selling EV in America this year.

The reaction of the Tigres player upon seeing Ustari’s knee evokes memories of LT after seeing Theismann’s leg.

Exactly. One of the major problems with Latinos and the right is demonization of immigrants as “the illegals,” but this is something Cubans cannot empathize with because carved-out exceptions in immigration law make it impossible to be an illegal immigrant from Cuba.

When it comes to immigration policy, Cuban-Americans…

Netflix referred us to Media Rights Capital’s spokesperson, who said this morning that the company is “very, very intolerant” of misbehavior and that she would look into the same allegations.

Came for the “Not A Real Mario Game” replies to your comment, was not disappointed.

Ernie Lunardelli, contacted by the website, said he was “hacked” and that, anyway, his best friend is black (and “lives in the condo I own”), so he couldn’t possibly be racist.

Do you mean “putting principle before profits” like when bakers refuse to serve gay people, or what exactly?

But that’s all water under the bridge the first time a big hit knocks the ball loose and you get a turnover. The players are simply responding to incentives.

He didn’t lead with his helmet. He led with his shoulder, and his shoulder was the first point of contact.

Most of your reply just reinforces what I’m talking about. To start:

This is mind-blowing. It’s like they’re saying, “Can you believe that idiotic onside kick that Pete Carroll called in the 2nd quarter of a playoff game that the Seahawks won anyway? BETTER GET RID OF HIM JUST TO BE SURE”

RG3 talked about exactly this dynamic: the league is so intent on protecting QBs that all you have to do is juke toward the sideline and the defender will let up, at which point you can head back upfield for more yards. And the Hundley reference was spot on:

And just think: if Hillary had won, all this Cosby/Weinstein/etc. stuff would be portrayed as newly-enabled feminazis run amok trying to destroy all men.

It sounds like you believe the Civil War and both World Wars were wars of choice.

Good day, sir.
