I have little doubt that the unified app will cost more than the current bundle, too.  

But you’re not just stopping for the light, you’re stopping to “reconsider your life choices.”

Not necessarily “better engineered” as much as “over-engineered.” Ancient societies didn’t have the body of knowledge to analyse and determine specific requirements (e.g. how much weight it has to bear, under what conditions), so over-engineered it by rule-of-thumb means.

Also, as underwater, it doesn’t have to deal with an annual freeze-thaw cycle.

From the night before.

“Unhoused.”

If I’m any of those four people - kid who caused it, officer, driver pulled over, driver driving by - I’m investing heavily in lottery tickets.  Those are four of the luckiest people in the world today.

I’d like to think I’d have the presence of mind to hop the barrier instead...but honestly, who knows? Tough to predict what even yourself will do in that situation.

Too many people act like they’re the only person in the world, and anyone else just has to work around them.

I don’t want to have to take my eyes off of the road to look at a screen for any reason.

Half hour before launch, the same happy-happy announcers pointedly said the sole objective was to clear the launch pad, anything else was a bonus. It’s not like the objective, or idea that this was a success, is being retconned to cover failure. They were very clear about objectives beforehand.

Hell, it’s a good thing people didn’t have that “failure is catastrophic” attitude during the early spaceflight era.

I watch that video. Went from “No way I’m watching 2 hours of a guy dig a hole” to “This is ridiculous, I can’t turn away.”

With the notable exception of For Your Eyes Only, which was light on both the camp and gadget porn.

I’m looking for a reason to hate this, but I’m not coming up with anything interesting.

I’m no fan of Musk...but anyone who thinks he’s the “douchiest CEO” needs to listen to more CEOs.

And the Loch Ness Monster.

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.
