But... Is that inherently a bad thing, when there are no more technological breakthroughs to expect?

Your power of assumption definitely dwarfs mine, that’s for sure.

But of course, you need a degree in nuclear science to know this?

As someone who’s had cancer twice however, I can’t help but feel like I’m not included in “most people.”

I mean, the association is a liiiitle weird, I’ll grant you that, but I’m OK with it.

That automated translation mentioned that she had over 400 offers and that the Mazda PR person who contacted her showed genuine enthusiasm. So I don’t think it’s likely that she got low-balled that hard.

Nowhere does it say that that’s the full transaction. We simply do not have all details, so you might be right. Or not. We just don’t know.

I’m not sure if this was an actual donation, as in “Here are the keys and the papers.”.

I dunno... Take the pain of letting go once for 20 to 30 million?

A 0-60 time of 0.5 seconds is really really difficult.

Not to put too fine a point to it, but one of those was actual space-worthy hardware, and the other one was a full-size structural mock-up.

The difference between Larry’s setup and my own is pretty similar to the difference between a Spec Miata and a Ferrari 499P Le Mans Hypercar. Both will get the job of driving around a track done, but one of them will produce a much more impressive result.

Uhm, the DS3, when it was still a sub-brand of Citroën, had quarterly sales numbers that regularly out-performed those for the Mini.

Well, there was Silk Cut too, which exclusively sponsored Jaguar and their endurance efforts: Iconic and only seen on Jaguar sports-prototype cars.

Nahh, in fairness, you can both see what may have been intended and still think it’s a turd.

Yes, there’s that, uhhhh, butcher’s chart too. But while memorable, it isn’t actually aesthetically pleasing. At least not to me. But it is certainly iconic!

Uhm, a certain oil company wishes to have a wo...

Uhm, there is a big difference between not having properly studied movement of glacial ice in the mid to late fifties of the last century (which did lead to much higher maintenance efforts than foreseen) before digging tunnels in the ice and climate scientists now.

But this is a hoax, right? Right? Because they keep saying that global warming isn’t a thing, so this can be a thing. Right? There is no ice melting and we don’t need EVs and battery renewables, right?

I can’t help you there, since I haven’t seen that documentary, but that one user review on IMDB seems spot on for 30 years ago.
