Yeah what the fuck is this guy talking about? The Eminem Show is amazing.

OK, granted, Purdom didn’t drop this cliché (‘cause, god knows, this article isn’t really about any of the technical/sonic aspects of Mathers’ new album), but, man, I love it when these young critics say that Eminem “just” raps fast now.

Eh, I thought it’s been widely regarded as one of his best efforts in years, and the beefs that resulted have energized the hip-hop community. Eminem certainly raps well throughout. This article’s definitive declaration that the album is bad is suspect.

Considering this is his very best album and magnum opus, I’d say pretty fucking generous.

Guy who enjoys mindless repetition, empty lyrics, and random ‘tourette’s-like’ outbursts of ‘skrrrrt’ in his hip hop writes scathing article about person who represents the exact opposite. So incredibly cutting edge and just what we should expect from a master of internets.

a tired argument, there is barely anything factual in this. Powergrids don’t run on oil, they run on a mix of coal, natural gas, solar, wind, and nuclear. And they are vastly more efficient than a single ICE engine. And since most EVs will be charging at night when the power grid is used less (and power plants cant…

Not only are LiIon batteries recyclable - they also have a two useful lives. Stick them in cars when they’re brand new and have high density/capacity, because that really matters in a car. After they degrade to the point where you want a new one in your car (hopefully with better battery tech at that point), you can…

It is funny you criticize myths than move on to spreading myths. In the US, oil makes up less than 1% of the electricity, but even if you used the same oil to make electricity, you would still have higher efficiency with EVs (so you would still need less oil).

except one is a base model consumer vehicle (with a 310 mile range version that’s already available) and the other is a luxury vehicle in line with the Model X which has a base model range of 237 miles (up to 295 with upgrades) available today.

I’m sorry but UP TO 200 MILES?!? for a vehicle that’s coming out in two years that‘s embarrassing.

How is it the future when the range is from 3 years ago?

The F-Type is sublime. It has wonderful driving dynamics, plenty of power, and effortless good looks, the sort that can only be achieved by the long-hood-short-deck template. There’s not a good way to do that with a mid-engined architecture.

I don’t think Bank’s is personal drama for Musk though, as I haven’t seen any indication that she actually has met him OR Grimes, norm been to his house. These seem like the ravings of a madwoman and if she weren’t “famous” we wouldn’t think she would have any access to his house. We probably shouldn’t think it now. 

The problem is with this entire series is it’s not even about Musk, it’s about Banks. Move it to some gossip site, on Jalopnik it’s a ridiculous waste of time. Thank you Instagram and Twitter for ending it so Justin can actually focus on car news.

Man, you guys have the biggest hard-on for Elon Musk. How is this even car related? Shouldn’t this be on one of the other sister sites?

What is the weight distribution of a Tesla?

Totally understood—and before anything else, I owe you an apology for my own hostility. I teach, and as I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I have confronted a student with a gun during my career; this particular topic is very close to my heart, and one that infuriates and terrifies me in equal measure (I’d rather not die at…

Misreading is often a function of poor initial communication.

If your issue is with the Gamergate knuckle-draggers who are forever howling about “muh vidya games,” then there are a multitude of reasons that you should’ve disassociated with them well before now. Their misogyny, willingness to get women in the industry…

I agree with you in that there is an absolutely horrific element in “gamer” culture writ large that first found its voice in the Gamergate movement, and has been actively scummy ever since.

However, blaming mass firearm violence on gamer culture is the sort of part-for-whole thinking that misses the forest for the…

This isn’t a “Gamer” thing (though those still clinging to the Gamergate banner are likely worthy of your scorn)—it’s a feckless fucking asshat thing.

People who have power fantasies that play themselves out in murdering other people with a gun, when those people have no means of fighting back are exactly the kind of…
