  1. Um, you are just cherry picking information. Musk was an integral investor who helped them get the funding to build the cars and to expand the company. He is also a prick who ran off the guys whose design was that first sports car, as their business plan was sound. Build the sports car first, then build a cheaper car, then build an even cheaper model. He laid the groundwork, and got the boot just as they rolled out the first models to be sold. At that point the company was established, and Musk rushed into take credit. He disparaged the guy and settled a lawsuit. The fact that they achieved profitability as they scaled up is not really a surprise, fuck man, their profit margins are 50% on some models IIRC. Let's not act like he sat down and designed the shit. My guess is that the reason the Cybertruck took so long to produce was that Elon has a Elizabeth Holmes method for design, sets a goal and hopes others can achieve it. The timeline still seems rushed as the bugs and fixes make it pretty much shit. The other vehicles don't have these ridiculous issues. I think this dichotomy in quality is directly related to the pivot from car guys starting the company and building the team. Heck his FSD should have billions of miles driven data. When will there be enough data to analyze?
  2. So do you know the real story of Tesla and the 2 founders? One was an electrical engineer who raced electric cars. He asked a custom electric race car company to make production vehicles and they declined. He did some work for them and then figured he could make a go of it and brought in another guy. Elon sued to have himself listed as a founder of the firm when he was just an investor. Once it got rolling he started branding it as his idea.
  3. Can’t blame him. College was fun.
  4. How much were student tickets?
  5. Judges need to be held accountable.
  6. You never really had to live near the aggy. Imagine the Princess Bride scene, where we have built up an immunity to moronic cultists through our proximity poisoning.
  7. Jesus, 57% women? While I would have personally enjoyed that, as a society that is not good that both schools are so heavily tilted.
  8. I don't think it is possible to address it. We have allowed propaganda networks, hate speech, and misinformation/disinformation campaigns free access to the dregs of society. Without cutting off the sources, there is no solution.
  9. I heard that Manhattan, Kansas was nice, and I like Morgantown, WV, but I was last there just before they joined the B12. Columbia Missouri was fine as well and with larger cities nearby. Knoxville was good to me as well, and listening to bluegrass at a Mexican restaurant in Crosby? while patrons passed around moonshine is a fond memory. And of course whitewater rafting. But I am kind of easygoing, I even managed to find something positive in Farmington, NM. But Bloomfield absolutely blows. On par with Lawton, OK.
  10. I am from S. Florida. Gainesville is fine, but nothing special, and the surrounding area was crappy from what I recall. Maybe it improved. It has been a long time.
  11. After the past few years, I don't give a fuck about anyone talking about injuries or missing players. We have had more than our fair share and lost more important games due to it.
  12. That's a manly man who loves sportballs and hanging with the locals. Probably followed by "Ok, I am done, get those poors away from me."
  13. It is loser talk from losers. They wouldn’t know humility if if shot its load on their face. They celebrated hiring a coach. Bragged about money. Bragged about buying a class that amounted to nothing. They think they are on par or better than us, and tried to recruit off a conference affiliation instead of what they produced. They are losers. Eternal losers. They celebrate like losers. The are arrogant without any results. Those morons actually think they upgraded their baseball situation after losing the coach who brought them their entire world series wins, and their hire speaks to who they are in the world. Even if that guy works out, he will leave for a real program.
  14. The hit after the whistle on Auburn pisses me off more. It was blatant bullshit that reminds me of the asshole sooner who hit Colt late and the officials just ignored it.
  15. That douche complained about officiating. Late hit on sliding QB not called. Blocks called holds because blocker is strong and blockee is a pussy? All that holding not called for most of the game and especially late? Facemask grabs not called? Bullshit.
  16. I was only half-assed watching that game, but from what I did see, it was overall well officiated. I can deal with mistakes. It’s the fuckery that is problematic. Bama- SCAR had a bit of fuckery involved.
  17. Counter subconscious espionage?
  18. Onside kick!
  19. I wanted to go for two
  20. @Ghost of LL ‘s depends agrees.
  21. Bullshit
  22. More phantom holds to keep the score down
  23. No. Bert is 0-3.
  24. So you can just grab receivers
