Agreed.

The thing that stands out to me is the assertion that the Tesla driver didn’t even offer an apology. That would have been the least they could do. The other thing I am curious about, is if the charging cable wasn’t long enough to allow him to go from the car to the receptacle while still on the swale, what would he…

Tow? If that’s my property, that’s an immediate tie the other end into my 2-phase 220 outlet, grab a beer and watch the fun.

He should count himself lucky. They set Luke Kuechly’s “brain integrity” slider to 25.

I’m still waiting for the “manual shift makes your car un-stealable” discount. 

Insurance companies here in the U.S., however, say they don’t have “sufficient data” to “validate auto industry promises of safety benefits from automated driving systems.”

They're not sending us their best fish.

Haha! Yes, adding a 100 horsepower motor to a 755 horsepower motor will result in an 855 horsepower engine. Whether you add the 100 hp by connecting an electric motor to the supercharger or by adding a 100hp electric motor directly to the crankshaft.

The kind of lucky where you better have two on hand just to be sure. I always thought dragons were good for starting fires, not putting them out.

Those cup holders decimate all I bet.

I went to overnight parts from Japan, and all I got were these lousy cup holders and a VCR remote.

I’d guess nepotism. One of the bigwigs at TPUSA hired their newphew to do the IT work.  Said nephew isn’t a Trump fan and provided the image.  The bigwig can’t throw their own kin under the bus.  Hence, no one is to blame.

The initial explanation did sound an awful lot like an attempt to quickly scapegoat someone and then sweep the dirt under the nearest rug—but I’m deliberately taking the excuse TPUSA offered in good faith, because it’s absolutely hilarious to me that an organization that prides itself on producing young people who…

believe what you want to believe ... but TPUSA was owned 

This may be the briefest post I’ve ever made on an education-related matter: The research skills of incoming college freshmen have been deteriorating, year-on-year, at least since I began teaching fifteen years ago—and likely long before that.

The average 18-20 year old’s ability to initiate, sustain, evaluate, and…

I don’t disagree that this likely was not an innocent mistake. They probably hired some IT or design person who didn’t adhere to their ‘philosophy’ but wanted the money, and that person took the opportunity to fuck with Trump in a way that is subtle and yet obvious. And to that person I say, Well done!! 

Much as I always want to revel in the utter incompetence of these idiots, this half-assed explanation actually makes me think that they got fucked with. You really can’t find that image accidentally. Searching google images for “presidential seal” in a variety of ways turns up shitloads of... the actual presidential…
