It’s shitty either way you spin it. The person who accidentally woke up, that’s awful. But shit happens.

No ‘well-qualified economist’ would have anything to do with defining ‘comfortable living’ or ‘content’. These are highly subjective terms that don’t have much to do with poverty as anyone with a little common sense might define it. I’m sure a lot of people in Appalachia are content and live comfortably, just as a lot…

So they may or may not come up with solutions, but I am not convinced by your argument that tech people thinking of unique solutions to poverty is a bad endeavor.

I think it’s more that this ties into so many other things we’ve seen him do/say throughout this campaign, as opposed to one thing we can pile on for. While she may have had an appearance clause in her Miss U contract, there’s ways to handle it that aren’t going to be humiliating and embarrassing, and Trump went out…

and even if there were an Alicia Machado sex tape, that wouldn’t excuse his behavior...

He’s a pageant owner -- he probably really buys the bullshit about a pageant queen needing to be a pillar of the community, a pinup hottie who’s also an angelic virgin. So if she made a sex tape, if she’s not a virgin, she must be a whore. Yet another reason to end pageants and their poisonous ideals of womanhood.

That’s why I was confused.

I don’t think it comes off as petty at all. Ryan Lochte accused random men of Brazil as robbing him “with a gun pointed directly at his head” and ran with that narrative for days, globally. He attempted to tarnish an entire nation for his own actions thinking he would be believed. The other three kept up that…

Microwaves, garage doors and power tools constantly crap out, even in warrentee period; to say nothing of the infernal combustion motor cars. You must spend a lot of time angry if you expect everything built to a price to never break.

Except, you’ve ignored the fact that having to replace the engine and transmission has nothing to do with the amount of use/abuse. More to do with design/engineering oversight with a new product. The internal combustion engine and drive system in your 100,000 truck isn’t exactly unproven tech.

To be fair though, variable speed reversible Alternating Current motors (like Tesla uses) are a relatively modern invention. Modern enough that there are still MANY in-service elevators that have an AC motor coupled to a DC generator that runs a DC motor to raise and lower the cab in the shaft. Varying speed in a DC…

Yes and because we’ve used electric motors throughout an exhaustive list of applications we were able to use our knowledge from those applications to get to this point. Now we are at a point where we’re working out the kinks and building up a long standing infrastructure. Consider how incredible this moment is. Ten…

It’s Quebec - most people out there don’t think like normal people (not criticizing Christian, just saying).
I have a friend that used to live out there and she has told me that some of the cab services let you request specific “styles” of car. So instead of a minivan, accord, or crown vic showing up, you can request a…

What down time?

Dude. How long have we been on the ICE tit? over 100 years? This is new technology, this is impressive. Give it a second.

One, he makes his living off of it and spends most of his time in it, so a better car is a good business and personal investment. Two, it is a business expense, so outside any breaks he gets for driving an EV, it is also a tax write-off (I would assume, I don’t know Canadian tax rules). Three, 8 year battery and…

Because its repair that was free, took less than 24 hours, is warrantied for infinity miles and is on a nascent technology

*sigh* I knew this was going to happen.

Huh... Who woulda thunk?

Meh think I’ll stick to the DC TV shows instead.
