High profile illustration work usually involves developing a few different rough sketches, working with the client to decide which one(s) to actually work in, sending various drafts, jumping from one proposal to another and back to the previous one because the client can’t make up their mind, and accommodating the…

Ok. Putting aside the fact that the artist is quoted mentioning weeks of work, which without any further context should be interpreted as a full-time job for the estimated period of time, or even ignoring their intent to buy both the illustration and the copyright:

Rich people don’t get rich or stay rich by spending their money.

You do realize her “non-real” job is likely to generate revenue a few orders of magnitude greater than your “real” job generates in that same amount of time? And if that’s not the case and a few weeks of your work are likely to generate possibly eternal revenue for your company, aren’t you getting underpaid?

Oh sure, a multi-headlight setup could work as long as the general shape is square/rectangular. Better yet if they went with off-the-shelf sealed beams, the feature I envy the most about old American cars.

Oh wow, thanks for the correction, I was under the impression INEOS had lost that case and had to make changes to the design. Seems like a product of my imagination, never mind.

Not very rare yet here in Portugal, thankfully. There’s at least 5 other daily driven ones in my hometown alone, and a few garage queens. And there’s a very large online community, I’d put the number of registered, road-worthy ones in the upper three digits, maybe lower four digits. Renault 4 meetings often bring…

I daily drive a Renault 4, imagine that empty cardboard box is scaled down to about 60% in size but it’s really narrow for how tall it is :) I have a blast driving it at high speed though, can’t lie about that.

I... almost really like it? The quadruple round headlights kinda ruin it for me, but I love pretty much everything else. I’m a sucker for asymmetric fascias and flat body panels with lots of 90º angles, so this thing is almost perfect for me. I don’t think they’d get away with the best-looking option - single round…

It’s an off-roader, aerodynamics isn’t that important for its main purpose, and if people end up using this to go flat out on the highway, it’s only fair that the battery drains as fast as possible. A bad drag coefficient is a great incentive for drivers to be responsible behind the wheel of this behemoth.

I don’t know, wouldn’t countries like China or India add noise to this data by just acting as favourable comparisons to the USA - a very low bar to clear, and a really cherry-picked one since the USA really aren’t looking at India or China to set the standards for this, or anything else (not openly, anyway)? If…

Your uncle is smarter than the average crypto bro.

At some point leading up to the 2020 election, during primary season, I sort of hoped Warren and Sanders would come to an agreement for a two-term superticket with Sanders for president and Warren for vice in 2020, with the pre-established agreement that they’d switch in 2024, and a commitment to working as a team in…

This absolute turd, but even worse because it had body-coloured bumpers.

Excellent Mister Gotcha reference.

This right here: some groups just appear to be large because of how much internet noise they can generate. Musk cultists cannot possibly be that many, but they are very vocal and it’s clear to me that they are using the right wing tactics of having many bots regurgitating the same nonsense, just to appear like a much…

Yup, I can’t really think of the name Mastodon and not immediately think of the band. And I’m not even a metal fan.

He was not a founder, both PayPal and his startup were struggling and merged a year ater being founded in an attempted synergy that would keep both companies afloat - a strategy that did work after they got rid of Musk less than a year into the merger. A couple of years later eBay bought PayPal.

Ribbed plastic cladding, you say?

The RX-8 concept isn’t that different from the final production car. It’s the RX-Evolv that’s truly different, and maybe a much better example for this slideshow in particular.
