I think it’s actually weirder with elections: a single electron, passing through two slits, will show a diffraction pattern as it interferes with itself.

Rule 34.

I finally got a chance to drive a Tesla recently. Man, that thing was just packed with features that likely seemed good on paper, but were awful in practice (e.g. the blind spot camera, under the turn signal...that ends up blinded by the turn signal).

Norfolk Southern is offering a few hundred now. They’ll increase that somewhat. Then it’ll be increased drastically in the class-action suit - either case or settlement.

An EVRV, as it were.

Some of the pages have the older image on top, some have the more recent image.  Who put this slide show together?  

Usually it’s the Great Lakes.  That bizarro Great Lakes Water Pipeline idea seems to resurface to the forefront of discussion every five years or so.

Cocaine Bear II: Cocaine Gorilla.  

It’s becoming more and more remarkable to me that this guy managed to establish PayPal, SpaceX, and Tesla Motors, when literally every other idea he’s pursued has been incomprehensively goofy and/or stupid.

The abort was so far down range, there wasn’t anything to see.  

Just read the paper, and more to the point: it reads as though they’re identifying the Chernobyl feral dog population as a candidate for future analysis of the genomic damage of ionizing radiation, and setting a baseline genetic analysis for such future research.

If you want to be behind the wheel for a living, you can make more than that working for DoorDash.

I’m going down the rabbit hole right now - from the NYT to Cox Automotive (NYT’s source) to Moody’s (where it looks like Cox got the data) - trying to find that number, and I can’t. From what I can find, auto loans haven’t been as high as 12% in about 40 years (not the “highest in 20 years” that Cox says), and doing…

Under most bankruptcy laws, pets are considered property. And while most pets are valueless to creditors, valuable pets (e.g. show dogs) may be considered assets subject to liquidation.

The max fine for the train/rail failure might be $200k, but when the EPA crawls up their ass, the resulting fine will be much, much greater.

Still and all, his character was very thin, and felt under-utilized.

That would be the time I took a strawberry-red 1989 Ford Aerostar on two wheels taking a turn way too fast

Work in a different field than climatology, but even I figured out, 20 years ago, that if you put energy into an oscillatory system you don’t change the ground state, but the oscillations get bigger. And that increased warming at the poles weakens the typical winter high-pressure dome that is usually present in the…

That thing makes me want to shout “Uno!”
