The ordeal started around 4:30 am local time

We have a winner today...congrats

It depends on the type of bear. Brown and black can be reasoned with, grizzly bears are a bit more aggressive, and fuggitaboutit if you run crosswise with a polar bear....you’ll be dead in a matter of seconds.

^^^THIS.  Once it’s made national news that he ISNT running SpaceX, he’s about to reinsert himself big-time into the company to prove that he, in fact, does.  He’s going to drop the price of rockets by 20%, fire 10% of the employees, and carry a kitchen sink into SX HQ and throw it at the nice desk lady.

How many hours (minutes?) after purchase does the driver of this get pistol-whipped and car-jacked at the closest stoplight? 2? 3?

This is pure genius. Also, “stereo tapes” and “synchromesh” are gold.

Picture of Victor Diaz de Leon:

I was thinking of horseracing, for example. When the margin of victory time-wise is less than the standard clock used (and certainly NASCAR does not routinely quote race times to the thousandth’s second, TMK), it seems weird to “deduce” the time spread rather than just quote the distance they won by. In my world, if…

This Stockton guy was a real carbon fibber.

Why is the winning margin quoted in time (which would be a function of each vehicle’s velocity, which were likely not identical) and not in distance?  All other race margins are quoted in distances, not times....this is dumb.

that projects a simulated exhaust note.

Prison yards are quite flat

your car is replaceable, your life is not

Lots of sand in the corners. Problem will solve itself, as both the man and machine slide thru the curve and over the hill to the bottom, DOA.

WTF is a foot bath?

$125K for a Beetle?  That’s 26 years old, with a frunk that doesn’t appear to close completely?  It’s official:  I’m too damn old to understand today’s used car market.

Whoa....can I point out that the above described dept’s acro is MRSA....and the latest whistleblower to die just died of.....MRSA??

the employees at Tesla who haven’t been caught up in job cuts have stepped in to help the would-be interns find new summer postings

the state with the best barbecue in the country is also apparently pretty reckless on the road

Giga is 10^9.  Unless they’re casting billions of kilos of metal at once (LOL), it’s just a stupid, made-up name for a make-believe process that’s supposed to excite (confuse?  bamboozle?) investors too stupid to understand this.
