Why do I have to pick the factors first? Do I have to use all of them? Why shouldn't I use all of them? If I do, why aren't they already picked? Why are all of these sliders? Why d…

I don't think other governments are stupid enough to let their taxpayers float poorly made cars that keep exploding because the guy in charge keeps talking about self-driving funct…

I will give him credit in as much that he is an exceptional con man uniquely skilled at fleecing investors and moneyed nerds. Still, though, that hype machine couldn't have been bu…

The reason is that no one was in a position to exploit the EV credit system because it didn't exist yet. Right place, right time, only made possible by having a bunch of money and …

we're still doing this in 2022? How much of this warmed-over libetrarian claptrap do we still need to sit through? Things are bad because the got dang gubbermint won't let me dump …

The idea that the delay(s) hurt Buttigieg in any way is a profound misreading of the situation. Iowa has a small number of delegates, and it's only important in as much as it creat…

No The Coup? Atrocious. "The Guillotine" is the best protest song ever written.

this was me a few years ago, here's some stuff I learned about diving in to a codebase like this: - don't be rude but make it clear you think the code is messy and you can clean it…

Fan death is ridiculous but it's often used as a face-saving measure for families that have to deal with a suicide or an alcohol poisoning related death.
