  1. Please dont invite Rachel Maddow into this thread
  2. Bathe in the glory
  3. Yellow is the best color for sports cars. Even for Ferraris over their racing red.
  4. bro wasnt ready for the physics lesson
  5. taking care of your drunk dormmate be like...
  6. sometimes im thinking sharia law is not so bad.
  7. Lip-sing or lip-synch?
  8. The crowd has spoken. Blue targa. Or some blue-white livery
  9. Im a subtitlestan and i dont understand why its such an offensive thing to many people. Like, they *hate* subtitles
  10. An interesting observation is how in a conversation solely about automotive manufacturing and finance you cant refrain from pivoting instead to other men and their assholes. Freud would have a field day with that.
  11. The Cybertruck is about to eclipse the sales of S&X combined, and is still backordered - meaning excess demand on the books. What happened with comparative sales when the government teet wasn’t offering consumers tax credits? And for teet to the manufacturer, look at the governments balance sheet and tell me which automotive companies have a loan with federal bucks? (starts with F and ends with Ord)
  12. Theyve put 6 million battery vehicles on the road. They produced the best selling vehicle globally for the last 2 years. Their vehicles are more American-made than any vehicle from any US brand. But sure, theyre “hardly legit” because… you dont like Elon. Theyve also turned a profit for the last 4 years. Their “slowing” last 4 quarters US sales was 625,000 vehicles. The “legit auto manufacturer growing EV sales”, in 2nd place over the same period sold 80,000. They also separate EV business on their financials. Wanna share how much money that venture made?
  13. i also cant buy this excuse *at all*. you're working on a mega-budget show with CGI dragons and have issues with practical filming and direction with child actors - whose detailed acting and expressions nobody pays close attention to? animate it. use stand-in props for it. film it separate and splice it. a million different ways to get around "we cant have children in gory scenes", as if theres never been horror movies with kids in it.
  14. i get some of the reasons why changes had to be made in the show production. and obv show writers are weaker than book author... but damn... george rr's verstion of the story just embarasses the tv rendition
  15. Interest spotlight on a trading episode in 2017, and example of difference between the physica/real l oil market and the financialized/"paper oil" market. From a column this week at Bloomberg
  16. That was one of the most predictable things ever. The EV market is basically legit EV manufacturer that is Profitable - Tesla; legit EV manufacturer subsidized by Saudis and Bezos - Lucid and Rivian; and then a bunch of scams and pretenders a la Farraday, Nikola, Canoo, etc. Henrik Fisker has a hurrible track record.
  17. very important question: what color ?? i would also kindly request someone start a thread documenting how to commit PPP fraud, just in case the next pandemic hits
  18. ...the aristocrats!
  19. Disingenuous way to spin his statement. He didn't say diversity is bad, but is excusable by a good story. He said diversity doesn't matter, because people care about the story, as exemplified by Andor. That was in response to charges that people hate the show due to 'diversity'. Everybody finds the show shitty. Some believe it's due to servicing of a cultural narratives (ie "pushing diversity") over quality storytelling. Some dont like that those are gimmicks or covers for poor storytelling. Neither of those examples demonstrate bona fide contempt for "diversity" (or witches, or lesbos, or whathaveyous). The root cause is the story is shit, but its not very original to write "the story is shit". You know this. Everybody knows this. Why do we pretend we dont understand basic social psychology here and play along with this motte and bailey bullshit pretending that everyone is a bigot.
  20. the brazilians call brass knuckles 'english punch' (soco ingles). the canadians and french call it 'american fist' (poing or coup de poing americain). and i find amusing the specificity of law that it and other weapons are illegal in many jurisdiction when you could well carry a pipe wrench or other instrument for similar effect. or butterfly knives. illegal in many places. but a pocket knife of reasonable blade length is completely fine.
