Watch Rush (movie) and see how life is protrayed back then. Bougie for the times but still pretty rough around the edges. Now go watch the Monaco GP. It’s gone for an event for rich people with 1980s standards to an event for billionaires with 2020's standards. A nice hotel wont do, you need four 5 star offerings,…

“I loathe both, but I love to discuss them”

On this weeks Episode of Airplane Repo, Ken Cage and his friends have repossessed 200 of 400 airliners but have recently begun suffering from Novichok poisoning. Hijinks ensue.

When in doubt, power out.

Nah modern billionaires are worse than that. Old timey billionaires would tell you to go fuck yourself and run you down in the road with their Rolls Royce. They didn’t care what people thought, so you at least knew where they stood.

You’ll probably do a double recoil then when you find out that he was halfway there but missed the main point - the electric chair was Edisons idea. He used frying people with AC as a PR manuever:

You can skip the prison guards. Edison literally promoted the electric chair (using Westinghouse/Teslas AC current) as a method of human execution in order to raise ACs profile as “dangerous” in the public and further this own interests.

Once during mechanical issues of my own I borrowed one of these from a friend to conduct about 1.5 hours of driving up an down a mountain road including extensive gravel sections. I was used to driving said road in a car with like, some actual consideration given to the driving experience and performance.

Justice is subjective. I agree with you morally but I’d fire you on the spot if I was a lawyer. That’s not how it works.

Fun fact. That thing they’re standing around is the recess that the launch-escape solid rocket motor fits into. Basically a large futon sized bomb with a hole in one end that fire comes out rather than detonating.

The Raptor is basically a massive 6000lb WRX with a bed in the back. It can tow and haul, but without airbags it’s not great, and airbags screw up the travel. It’s designed to jump desert whoops at 80mph, not haul gravel from Home Depot to the jobsite. It’s a second truck for a lot of people.

“These launches are not without their own environmental costs”

JP5 is glorified kerosene. Diesel adjacent. Leaded gas is neurotoxic cancer juice, basically. 

Some people drive around with $87,000 on their wrist every day. Not the case here, but it’s not some fucking cops business why someone has it unless it’s clearly connected to a crime in progress.

The old BMW “computers” were the coolest thing. Well ahead of their time. 

The dose is the poison but a GE90 will munch a few booze bottles no worries.

What is it about many middle-aged men, often of the cargo short wearing variety, that inevitably they begin to believe in “free energy” at around 50 years old. I have a family member that recently turned 50 and has begun sending me articles about various world-changing energy revolutions. Is this what happens to guys…

A pissed off enough house cat can send you to the ER for stitches and puncture wounds. A 40lb house cat can send you to the ER for even more stitches and even bigger puncture wounds. Given the choice, would rather not.

The don’t write minutiae into laws that effect a tiny tiny portion of the intended population just to satisfy internet pitchforks.

You can buy a computer with Mircosoft Office but you have to buy a license key if you want to use it for more than 30 days. What’s the difference? Software and R&D is a huge part of Tesla’s costs.
