If the stock market’s valuation was truly tied to company performance, Tesla wouldn’t be close to “worth” half a trillion. But as Musk recognizes, the current market is largely detached from company fundamentals, and now cult of personality drives prices. As a showman and cult leader, he indeed is the reason for the…

Caltrans was called to handle all of the meat

Brand new owner of a blue car; was told it was the only one painted blue available in a 300-mile radius from the dealer at the moment, with no more planned for delivery. Dealer said it was least popular color (thus why so few existed) but we loved it, now own it.

Wait....this is a Boeing plane and you left that out of the headline?  Has we new editors?

Some Irish youths..... known as the Stone Throwers..... threw stones

I’ve done half of what this guy did....came out of a bank at a time when brown Ford Tauruses were everywhere, jumped in, sat down, then noticed a smell I was not used to. Looked around and realized it wasn’t my car; got out and prayed no one would assault or shoot me over this mistake. Jumped in my own car 2 spots…

My thought exactly....it took tied shoelaces to make Neymar fall down? I dont think so.....could have been a gentle breeze, or a defender in roughly the same area code.

I can relate

could barely pull a piece of string out of a cat’s ass

Maybe his first name is “Les”?

I’m surprised the cops aren’t more pissed about how often those body cams just accidently and certainly-not-purposefully turn themselves off at just the wrong moment....

Jeep is getting ready to roll out a $25,000 electric vehicle in the U.S. “very soon,”

Airport grounds crew jobs literally suck.

Goose joins the chat....

The other problem, IMO, is that “offensive” BO is relatively subjective. What smells “bad” to one person smells merely “strong” or “interesting” to another. How all 8 men all were deemed to have “bad” odor seems improbable, and likely 1 shitty FA kicked all of them off knowing a subjective determination couldn’t be…

Our own insurance advised us against just filing with them since they would most likely raise our rates for a claim.....

This doesn’t seem correct. That means for every brand-new car, there’s a car that’s 25 years old, which are 90s-era vehicles. Anecdotal (empirical) data doesn’t seem to support this, although I don’t drive a ton of miles so maybe my data pool is too shallow.  Maybe in more rural areas the cars are quite vintage which…

Hard to believe there’s a market of pseudo-rich folks (those who can afford this but dont currently own/lease their own plane) big enough to support this. Also, I thought dogs going to other countries have to quarantine, and therefore international dog travel is an enormous headache to be avoided at all costs, or is…

We stole the same trays but used them as sleds on snowy days on a hilly campus.

I just went on their 2nd largest ship last Fall, and was a bit surprised that the railing separating the highest deck level and the ocean below was not higher than it was. For someone really tall, say 6'6", the railing is probably close to his/her CoG, and that can’t be good. They need taller railings and/or safety…
