Saw CSN about 12 years ago and David made it a point to bitch at the crowd for bouncing a beach ball 100 yards away from the stage.  Said it was “distracting”.  Their set list was 30+ years old, and somehow he couldn’t remember the words if he saw something through his blurred vision?  The guy has always been a…

Go back to the gold standard, and we are all worth about $6. There just isn’t that much gold in the world to sustain the global economy that has been built in the past 50 years.

I remember Jay Leno saying that it had to do with how the word “Buick” was originally translated into Mandarin Chinese. It was something like “beautiful springtime flowers”, or something very pleasant. The Buicks of the early 20th century were also excellent cars, so that combination made them the first elite cars in…

It better feature some toney power banks, or I’d rather a ford.

Great idea!  Let’s make this go viral!

What a beautiful image of Mike Pence welcoming his insect overlords.

That pre-fund requirement had two purposes. The immediate purpose was to pump a few billion dollars of poorly shepherded money into the market. Wall Street has been devouring pension funds for 30+ years now, as they see it as a large pile of money being wasted. We should assume that the USPS pension fund has been…

Well, with that embedded tweet, he did bring the goddam Germans into it.

The lockdown simply reduced traffic levels to where they were 40+ years ago when the majority of the system was last “planned”.  Things are “working” because the system is now at <100% planned capacity, versus >200% of planned capacity.  Everyone’s a shitty driver in gridlock, because you’re in my fucking way.

I went from seeing that one Tesla around occasionally 3 years ago (and the Tesla repair van), to seeing at least one every time I drive. Of course, there is a supercharger station in the parking lot of the grocery store nearby, so my perspective could be skewed.

Neutral:  Considering how many people have managed to disable the automatic headlights on their 21st century cars, I have every expectation those same people will disable all other safety features too.

4th Gear: That paragraph of pablum by a committee-of-one should be in the SEC’s training manual for “How to spot Investor Fraud”.

Well, you did click on an article with Harley Davidson in the title.

You just violated the First Rule of Battery Club.

Does it cover the part where Phil Condit moved the executive headquarters to Chicago, where Boeing had no significant presence, just to get out of Seattle during his messy divorce? The physical fragmentation of that company, done often out of pure spite, must certainly play a part in its demise.

As long as they use Gorilla Glass 79+ for the touchscreen.  Nothing like having your truck bricked because the screen cracked when loading something into the front seat.

It sounds like GM is taking the crate motor concept to their EV efforts. The real strength of GM over the decades has always been their versatile and reliable lineup of engines. From the old big block V8's to the LS family now, with several notable V6 options thrown in, you could put those suckers in almost anything.…

I sure hope he was wearing goggles. That shot cost a million dollars!

He started producing his own stuff because they wouldn’t insure him or let him do it.

Is Hindenburg going with hydrogen vehicles instead?
