lol, fuck this guy. 

Auto (including towing) insurance fraud adds $200-$300 a year to your individual insurance premium, according to estimates from the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB). But that’s a paltry sum compared to its overall impact, because every business has to pay for insurance as well.

More significantly, you can’t subscribe to an insurance plan that covers basic on-the-road towing and use it to get dragged out of the desert. Even if all the AAA tows had been to people who were legit policy holders, that insurance still doesn’t cover off-road recovery.

Man thats the whole point of insurance though. You gamble on whether or not you’ll need it. You dont get to claim it when you know you need it.

Because I don’t want to live in a world ruled over by technocratic oligarchs who are weirdly worshiped by their customers.

You can admire how Henry Ford revolutionized the automobile industry while also acknowledging his union busting and war profiteering.

I do not find anything at all attractive about these cars.

also, these are just the ones that have been sitting in the back of the dealer’s warehouse unsold due to lack of interest.  why would I want an obsolete version of a deliberately obsolete (and unattractive) car?  if I want a car made the old fashioned way, I’ll…

All of the problems of an old Mercedes and all the problems of a stretched custom frame?

Acid rain isn’t much fun, however. 

Urea is mainly produced with coal or natural gas as a byproduct of industrial ammonia production. The recent rise of natural gas prices has caused a slowdown in urea production. Along with the increased cost of an ingredient, the factories themselves have had to cut output due to electricity rationing in the…

That part has been very confusing. The last two were from August of 2020...

That beats the almost 60K for a base model Tesla.

Thanks for posting!  Appreciate your hard work and detailed content.  A nice contrast to a lot of recent “articles” here.

3rd Gear: 5G is trash. Seriously. Just walk into any building and you are down to 1 bar of 5G which is significantly slower than the 5 bars of 4G you can have if you disable 5G. Its a crappy technology that is never fully utilized because it appears no one ever decided to test it outside a lab before making it…

I can't see a future where you don't spend more replacing stolen Honda (and then Harbor Freight) generators than you could possibly make from donuts.

A 1 to 5 thousand dollar fine, or 5 to 20 years in prison. God Bless America.

It’s $1400, he should expense if for a deep dive. 

It’s just dumb, but it’s no dumber than 500 other dumb SEMA builds.

My counsellor told me I was done and didn’t need to schedule another appointment. That was a pretty amazing feeling. The stresses of Covid and quarantine and all (gestures broadly at the world) that really started getting to me and I was in a place where I couldn’t really feel happy. So into counselling, discovered…
