I don’t know for sure what will work, but they don’t seem to be trying anything other than forcing Elon to buy them out as hard as they can

Are you counting “recalls” that are remedied by an over the air software update?

Avg gasoline prices are down 20% in 2 months. Is that noise? https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_gas_price

Maybe that’s balanced by requiring less repairs? In 4 years in my tesla all I had to do was change the tires. By that time in my ICE vehicle I had been to the mechanic and/or jiffy lube at least 15 times

I had not thought about it that way, but that is incredibly astute.

Why is twitter so desperate to sell to Musk? Are they really out of ideas? If they just want to squeeze out an extra $11.50 / share I can think of tons of ways to do it, they don't have to just copy Facebook's monetization mo

Good to know. Do the punitive damages also go to the plaintiffs? Or does it just get funneled into the government slush fund?

That is exactly my point. The choice today seems to be (1) spend ~$50k on a new ICE car and sell it in 4 years for 20-30k (or less) or (2) spend ~$70k on a new EV and sell it in 4 years for 60-70k (or more)

Do you currently drive an EV? The infrastructure is already there. I don’t ever think about range or charging, even on long trips, there’s always charging somewhere within range.

Almost everyone I know who swore off EVs 3 years ago for those reasons are now driving one or looking into it, opinions are changing rapidly
434.
by jliptzin 4y ago
It’s much worse for buyers of ICE vehicles today. We are approaching the inflection point of the S curve of EV adoption, I know this is probably an unpopular opinion but I really think in 5-10 years people are going to have a seriously hard

I also swore off Airbnb after a couple bad experiences. Then went back to hotels, which are better in their own way, but still couldn’t shake the feeling that I’m getting swindled every time I check into one, between resort fees, $30/d

This is almost certainly Facebook just lobbying to get mindshare back from TikTok. It's great for the US government too, who probably already has unfettered access to everything Facebook collects on its users. If US users go to TikTok,

Most of them don’t actually believe abortion is murder though. They give their hand away pretty easily. If they thought abortion were murder, why are they also against contraceptive use? Over a quarter of all pregnancies end in miscarriage

by jliptzin 4y ago
You are not extending the same logic though. The overwhelming majority of people, across all countries (hopefully 99%+) agree that murder (of innocent post-birth, actual people) should be illegal and indeed murder is illegal probably in eve

How do we know this is not just Facebook lobbying the FCC to get tiktok pulled from US app stores?

by jliptzin 4y ago
The way I see it, the issue of abortion is obviously one of the most controversial things out there, some people think it’s baby murder, other people think it’s no big deal. With something so controversial, why not just let the person who i

I can only have a couple of beers/sodas at once otherwise I get too bloated. I consider it a feature not a bug, better to not be pounding the beers and sodas anyway.

It’s good you are honest with yourself about it. Unfortunately I don’t know what the solution is, if you find one let me know so I can pass on to my friends. I binge eat too; it’s just doesn’t take that much to get me full. If I had to eat

Same for me. Even as Ive tried to gain weight, my weight barely budged. 150-155 for at least the last 10 years. I have obese (300lb+) friends and they insist they don’t eat that much more than me. Except they do. We go out to eat, we stop e

Of course, no one ever expects renters to do well in the long run economically in a capitalist system, regardless of what the inflation rate is. And same is true for people living on the street. Those groups don't do that well in any

Isn't that what the "problem" is? Tight labor market => higher wages => people have more money to spend => higher prices. Wages are absolutely keeping up with inflation or even surpassing it, I'm seeing it in jo

This is a boon for anyone with a fixed mortgage, aka a big chunk of the middle class. Other than gas prices increasing I don’t understand what the average person is worried about. Their biggest monthly expense (mortgage) is effectively plum
