According to Tim Urban’s blog article on Tesla and Muck from 2015, one of Muck’s stated goals was to jumpstart the other auto manufacturers into producing their own EVs to accelerate the trend toward a more sustainable energy future. Whether that was true then or now is irrelevant, but it is nice to see EVs of many brands being made and purchased. Obligatory Fuck Muck, existential disappointment that he will forever be.

N6 would not burn with a flame: it’s just a burst of energy that generates a large volume [of gas] – so a lot of thrust, and it is non-corrosive

Reminds me of the time I ran a 100m dash 30 minutes after eating a kilo of Taco Bell.

I appreciate the deep personal insights and advice. Well taken.

Definitely going to be the first drug I try, when I decide to finally start using drugs.

Not at all qualified to answer, but I unqualifyingly offer One More Night

If The Cranberries songs and music videos I’ve seen are any indication, that sounds like a horrible situation.

Where would the front(s) be? Seems like in USA CW 1.00, the north/south division made it easy to figure out where the enemy was. Nowadays, the ideological disagreement is much more geographically woven everywhere, with a battlefront possibly existing between every couple of houses in some neighborhoods.

Ha, not a chance. Putin is the absolute master of keeping his oligarchs in line. Muskateer would be just another convenient pawn of his. Wouldn’t surprise me to learn that Putin is actually the richest person on earth, far surpassing Musk’s volatile market-based wealth. Dude is pure evil, but, unfortunately for the world, also appears to be quite shrewd.

I went so far as to trade my S&P500-flavored index funds for large cap value-flavored ones so I could avoid holding TSLA even by association. It’s so stupid how that moist waste of carbon-based material turned something as silly as an electric car brand into a political totem of autocracy.

Edit: I’d imagine the issue is exacerbated by the ease with which every flavor and speed of pornography over broadband internet is available to auto-objectify women, misdirect post-auto-orgasm oxytocin, and misrepresent intimacy.

That’s the irony of it. I’m by no means a scholar of Thich Nhat Hanh, but I remember reading an account from his early life as a Vietnamese monk during the conflict with imperial France in which he had basically nothing and was himself barely surviving, but still found a way to feel peace and express compassion for a young French soldier suffering from malaria who desperately raided the monastery at gunpoint.

Sounds like there could be a lot of kissing cousins…

A bit sensationalist, yes. I didn’t read it, but I hope it made some link between the hormone drops associated with shocking imagery and sounds and the cognitive high one receives in response to the ensuing neurosynaptic flood.

They’re basically addicts with the drugs being manufactured and distributed in-house; all they need is the evermore violent and shocking A/V catalyst to inject the proverbial needle.

For being a jerkface, you have great taste.

Second this one. Excellent series.

OooOoooOooo, a spoiler tag is a really classy way to do it. You must be some kind of GeNiUs!!!
