  1. Everything you just said here could also be said about the Model 3 and Model Y.
  2. This just in: Rich guy gives wife art gallery to play with, spends years making money off of famous artists, throws hissy fit when art points out inconvenient truths; gallery owner takes ball and goes home.
  3. I get the jist of it and it makes sense, but they lost me when they were talking about the mathematical extensions of the Kerr space.
  4. https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/singularities-dont-exist-roy-kerr/ Couldn't quite grasp everything 100% in this article, but what I could seems pretty cool.
  5. Not trying to disagree with you, but by and large I don't think there's an appetite for small cars in America. Perhaps in certain cities, but not across the country. Car & Driver says these are the best selling vehicles in America in 2023: 1. Ford F-Series (573,370 units sold) 2. Chevy Silverado (403,403 units sold) 3. Ram Pickup (332,440 units sold) 4. Toyota RAV4 (302,831 units sold) 5. Tesla Model Y (284,500 units sold, estimated) 6. Honda CR-V (262,351 units sold) 7. Toyota Camry (217,975 units sold) 8. GMC Sierra (216,227 units sold) 9. Nissan Rogue (211,091 units sold) 10. Jeep Grand Cherokee (182,871 units sold)
  6. The smaller version of the Model 3 could be China-only, as this fuckin country has no appetite for small, economical vehicles. (VW launched the ID3 (Golf-sized EV) in Europe only, they stuck with the SUV-sized ID4 for America). EV battery tech is already becoming less explosive with a lot of manufacturers (Tesla) using LiFePO4 batteries, which are not nearly as flammable but are unfortunately less energy-dense and lose more energy in cold weather compared to current gen batteries. I think that as battery tech advances, we will land on safer options with acceptable energy density. I mean if you really think about it, with sufficient charging infrastructure in place the ideal EV would be one that has a range of 150 - 200 miles and can recharge to 80% in 5 - 10 minutes. Drive for a few hours, stop for 5 minutes, fully charged, drive for a few hours to the next stop. How many times have you really had to drive 400 miles without stopping? To illustrate this point a little, I recently drove a Chevy Bolt EUV from NJ to OH. At my first charging stop, I was next to a Ford F-150 Lightning which charges 3 times faster than my car. However, because the F-150 is much less efficient it needs to have a much bigger battery which takes longer overall to charge. I was in and out of there before he was even ready to go to the next charger even though I was charging at 33% of the speed he was.
  7. I'm only spitballing here, but if he gets the nomination then runs and loses again, OMG it's gonna be 10x worse than the big lie. All these jagoffs will have been primed on the big lie for four years now. IMO, the best way it can end for the sake of our democracy and overall peacefulness is in a slow-motion, protracted fashion. Without any more major events to hang their hats on, all these crazies will hopefully eventually lose interest and crawl back into their metaphorical caves (if the money-grabbing media ecosystem lets them).
  8. Man, a batcock that big and it's only used for dry humping. How anticlimactic (pun intended).
  9. I'd argue that those track names sound more GY!BE, or perhaps more A Silver Mt. Zion (or is it Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra-la-la Band?).
  10. Curb is Larry playing himself as how he wishes he could act in real life. Jason Alexander playing George Costanza is how Larry really is in real life. Supposedly.
  11. I don't think they're quite unaware. I think these are people who would've probably responded the same way to anyone speaking in that language. I feel like they've always been angry at the government, or "the system", but they've never had a candidate that they've been willing to vote for. One of Trump's greatest tricks is fooling these people into thinking he's telling the truth when he says he's going to "drain the swamp".
  12. And we've all seen that, unfortunately, there are enough of those people to actually make a difference in elections. Kinda wish they'd just go back in their caves and resume distrusting the gov't and "the system" by NOT VOTING.
  13. Yeah I thought about that while posting. I guess I took the snake's facial expression to be kind of aggressive, and that signaled male tendencies to me. Sorry, I guess I don't have too much experience with pizza-hawking snakes.
  14. Do I have to fight that snake to get the pizza? Is the pizza made from this snake? Is the snake offering me the pizza? Did he make it? How did he make it without arms?
  15. My little buddy Lola likes Orval. I mean, who doesn't?
  16. Actually, I just remembered that there are little sine waves inside your sine wave of piss. That's what causes liquid streams to break up. It's one of the first things I learned in grad school: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plateau–Rayleigh_instability
  17. I'm a bit out-of-phase, so mine is a cosine wave
  18. What exactly am I supposed to find in Ohio? I mean I spent the first 22 years of my life there and wasn't able to find shit.
  19. Just finished watching season 2 of Succession and, man, I really can't find a single bad thing to say about it. My only minor gripe is that Roman's transition from a total fuck-up to someone useful when he had to be was a little too convenient. But there's not one dull second in this show. I just marvel at the dialogue in every episode; nothing is wasted, everything punches at me. There's a perfect balance of laughs and seriousness. Most of the cast is just spot on in their acting... IDK, maybe I'm overreacting?
  20. I really hope X / Twitter dies completely before Musk is able to use it to fuck with the next US presidential election.
