“You know why they’re so weird? Because they can afford to be”
No worries, the original post was just some random nonsense, so I ran with that. Wasn’t necessarily clear or sensical.
I’m not a teen don’t tell me what to believe.
I’m just trying to find the cop within me.
To be fair, most of these trucks could do a couple days of routes on a single full charge. As long as someone is conscientious in managing the fleet, probably only 40% need to be charged per night -- and charging overnight mans they don’t need fast charging, just run some extension cables.
But see... the film portrays him wearing a crew-necks over a button-down. It’s these kinds of liberties with the truth that make me think cinema was all a mistake.
Nuh-uh!
It’s not that surprising a reference, if you knew that Brian Armstrong came up with The Office.
CMGI signed up for 15 years and $114M with the Patriots’ stadium and the contract didn’t even survive to host a single game under their name. It’s not like the team is beholden to the contract if the other party wants to cancel, has declared bankruptcy, or otherwise can’t pay. There’s always another company that to…
This video overstates the case. The only countries not on standard gauge are Ireland/N.Ireland, Russia/Finland, and Spain/Portugal. Furthermore, Spain’s HSR has been connected directly with France starting in 2013 and all new construction is going to be at standard gauge or interoperable through dual gage rails, or…
The difference between HSR costs and Hyperloop costs is that the HSR plans have had to confront reality and Hyperloop hasn’t.
The MTA estimated it lost about $300M to fare evasion in 2019. Compared to their budget of $16,725M that net them a 1.8% increase. Collected fares still accounted for $6335M.
It’s hardly the thing breaking the bank.
And if it were: NYC’s plan was to add 500 additional cops checking fares (as 75% increase from the…
The MTA is in a weird balance between being one of the best subway systems in the world and also one of the most grotty. The openness, the feeling of actually being underground and not in an airport transfer corridor, the decades of wear on cast iron and bronze in place of plexi and plastic are all great, but it’s…
Also, literal machinae in this one with all those drone Iron Men. Which, again, these things could literally run on autopilot, where’s the supposed hero/life balance conflict?
AV Club style guide says this is a clear case of “If you don’t believe what I wrote you can ask him yourself.”
Don’t thank them, thank Tik-Tok!

Sorry Murry, I bought this .gif on Cent, so you’re not allowed to funge it anymore without paying me half a bitcoin.
This is the rare twitter thread where each entry is uniquely eyerolling in its own way. I particularly liked the “we got some standard, gimmicky, endorsement-driven pitches” followed by “separately we came up with some really brilliant, ambitions ideas, that we didn’t have enough time to produce.”
