Interesting, I just latched onto the height bit. 

They were also at the BBC Folk Proms if you want to see what they look like:

Reminds me of another analysis of online dating done a while back by a couple B-school profs that calculated a 5' 6" cis male would need roughly $250,000 more in income to have the same potential responses that someone 6' was.

The full Akra systems that I’ve looked at for some recent bikes all had an optional catalytic converter. They’re even a manufacturer ‘accessory’ on a handful of bikes, like the MT-07 https://www.yamaha-motor.eu/uk/products/motorcycles/hyper-naked/mt-07.aspx?view=accessories&partcode=90798-32602-00&year=2018

For 2nd hand cars in countries where the sticker is mandatory, check the sticker in the driver’s door hole for the correct tyre size, do not assume that the previous owner has fitted tyres of the correct size. Doubly so if all the tyres are stamped as part worn and 1 of them is a winter tyre...

Errr... if you’re ‘consensually’ banging a minor who’s 3 years older than you, are you really the perp? Or is this designed to be thrown at both parties involved?

Even the Russians are winding down Baikonur, it’s in Kazakhstan.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s all just a stunt to boost the share price so he can stand before the Tesla board and do a “My name is Elon, boss of bosses. Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!”

What about the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund? Norwegians buy a lot of Teslas, after all.
