The recommendations in this thread are really good so I’ll add just one more which is more of a card game: Lost Cities by Kosmos (first edition, not sure about latest but seems like classic play is still supported: https://boardg

I agree that it feels like we are post-peak. It probably depends on preferences but from my perspective the golden age started tapering off ~10 years ago. It could also be that we’re in the “here to stay” phase the article also suggests. So

> subsidizing electric vehicles does not automatically involve self driving. those are completely independent technologies. Are you sure you’re replying to the correct thread? I’m not sure who you are trying to correct because no one her

One can agree with the idea behind the subsidies and also recognize the unintended consequences at the same time. The two are not mutually exclusive.

I believe you’re being downvoted because the solution you’re proposing does not handle any of the problems solved by a bank.

Basements in both those states. I’ve heard people in Oklahoma say that basements can’t be built because the soil has too much clay, yet I’ve seen them in older homes there. I’m starting to think that “basements can’t be built in X state” is

It looks like my first public comment on Musk/Tesla was in February 2021 [0]. I remember getting hooked on the FSD fraud story sometime in 2019 and seeing many negative Musk/Tesla comments since that time. There’s always been some

Musk/Tesla is leading the pack of the worst unintended consequence of 21st century policymakers. Regulators turned a blind eye and government subsidies fed the monster in the pursuit of clean energy policies.

Are you saying it’s unfair to inherit something?

I’ve seen some in older homes and have heard “there are no basements in Texas” when I lived there. Same thing in Oklahoma, even though a house I lived in as child had one and we definitely weren’t wealthy. :)

I live in FL too and there are basements for sure. :) I don’t have one but I’ve seen plenty. As for crawl spaces, they’re really common on older homes up here (central FL); I have one.

Weird. I’ve heard this same phrase about every state I’ve lived in (always from a native) and it’s always turned out to be false. Perhaps such a state does exist? Sibling comment seems to indicate California might not be one of them.

Musk will be arrested on various fraud charges. Musk supporters will convince themselves that he is a victim of political persecution. We won’t hear the end of it. Will his scheme to avoid legal consequences work?

I feel that it makes a good case for the federated approach to social media. Very large centralized services controlled by public corporations are easy targets for this kind of abuse.

Anyone still defending or apologizing for this guy needs to spend time doing some serious self-reflection about their choices in life.

To be fair, I do think there are people who work hard, especially founders. There are also vocal pretenders like Musk. My guess is that the folks who do work really hard are probably the least likely to go around broadcasting that fact. Tha

Anyone paying attention to his tweets can tell this is obvious fake front that he tries to maintain (one that actually works on a lot of folks). On some level it's probably technically true part of the time, counting long flights in hi

It’s not blind hate. People see the man for what he is, a douche bag and a charlatan, and are calling his behavior out. His luck in this world (and he has been incredibly lucky) is irrelevant.

I can’t believe anyone could take this guy seriously. It’s so comical at this point.

He’s a chronic liar so unless there’s evidence to the contrary, I’ll assume it’s bullshit.

I know that a lot of Tesla fans view FSD as a sort of tip jar to throw extra money towards the cause but I have a feeling regulators and gov attorneys will come to see it quite differently.

I've heard claims that Electrek acts as a bit of a PR tool for Tesla/Musk. I don't believe I've seen any hard proof, but I'm a bit more convinced after reading this article.

I'd kind of like to sue Apple for neutering my AirTags so that they are no longer a good way to recover stolen items.

When you force customers to sign a non-disclosure agreement to get their vehicle repaired then it becomes really easy to avoid those pesky recalls.
