I don’t know how to get people to be more responsible

Given that solid state batteries are going to be more expensive than L-Ion, I think that it makes sense to include both in a vehicle. The solid state allows for fast recharge when you’re low on electrons, but all solid state is going to be more costly than a combo.

New technology like automatic transmissions and A/C don’t radically change the driving/ownership experience in the same way as electrification. Those are more evolutionary than revolutionary, so it’s easier to convince a buyer to pay a premium for those enhanced features.

Did you not see the Bears play on Sunday? They ain’t killing anybody, except maybe their fans.

That’s a cause that needs a specialty plate?

Did you read anything other than the headline of this piece? Gensler is not predicting an economic collapse due to any actions in the labor market. His concern is that financial institutions will rely exclusively on a small number of AI modeling tools to handle trading. Trading profitability all but requires action at…

Given what we’ve heard about the deal that Swift cut with AMC, it would be worth the expense of upgrades if it meant getting fans in for simulcasts. All the major stars could pull in big audiences, Beyoncé, Springsteen, Rolling Stones, etc.

I think that it can be both things. Stand-alone, it’s a great character study of criminals and the effects of crime life on people. However, if you have also seen Goodfellas, The Irishman seems redundant.

Not around me in south suburban Chicago. And even at that, you can request a title online, and do nothing more than walk in to pick it up of the requests shelf. I just picked up The History of Sketch Comedy this morning. Requested it online, spent less than a minute in the library.

Much like the surge of interest in off-label use of semaglutide, I could believe that the FDA is trying to get in front of off-label ketamine use.

I give this a very small chance of succeeding, if even gets made. I was a fan of it when it first ran, at least for the first 3-4 seasons. Capturing that essence again would be a tough get.

Better even than filming it, live stream it to theaters. The Grateful Dead did it admirably with their 3 shows from Soldier Field, and it was an exceptional experience. The theaters have good audio, and as long as you have a director willing to linger on a shot instead of cutting shots every 5 seconds or so, you have…

In addition to Redbox, local libraries remain a source for physical media if you only want to borrow it. Libraries remain a tremendous underutilized resource. As someone noted elsewhere, if public libraries didn’t already exist it would be impossible to get them started anymore.

AGT: Extreme sounds like just another step towards the real life Squid Game, dangling big rewards in front of people to get them to risk life and limb.

I think manufacturers are missing an opportunity to help buyers with the transition. The purchase of a new EV should come with a program that lets them rent an ICE vehicle from that manufacturer at a subsidized price up to 3 times a year or so. That way buyers could have the benefit of the EV while still knowing that…

Don’t care, or more likely, don’t even know what’s going on. Yet plenty of that 55% will have opinions on the Kardashians and Taylor Swift.

At least she didn’t try to pull some Sovereign Citizen bullshit.

As Danny says, the Italian crabs are leaner than what we have on this side of the pond. It’s not likely to be as popular as the local product, and I wouldn’t be surprised that if it somehow became popular, US crabbers would demand restrictions on its importation. The real answer is to develop a local market for the…

I found the wand type to be inadequate for frothing milk, and I moved up to a carafe type for coffee. But I do still use the wand for other things. It blends chocolate syrup into milk or cold coffee nicely. I also like to get red wine in a box since it takes me too long to get through a bottle on my own. The box keeps…

I have done some dumb things at work, the worst being the act of physically taking out frustrations with misbehaving equipment, resulting in minor personal injury. Lesson: Violence against inanimate objects is totally unproductive. But, never, ever, never ever never would I have been tempted to remove a bolt from…
