Thankful QA Guy

Looks like they can

I am - I collect this stuff because I’m weird.

Memememem

I used to know someone who became very much like this after losing quite a bit of weight thanks to a stomach sleeve surgery.

It’s really hard to watch, and tougher to experience.

Do you need another N 60 body? I’m pretty sure I saw one down in Carson while I was thrift a couple of weeks ago. Happy to grab you a spare if you’d like.

Just remembering how one of the most important and widely read and dropped-with-maximally-damaging-timing "Biden is old and senile" pieces was reported by Nuzzi. It makes you think!

In case you were having thoughts about everything that happened yesterday, here is a thoughtful and I think wise take about one specific thing.

My autumn hot take:

People in the fall: “I love pumpkin everything!”
No, you like fall baking spices because pumpkin tastes like vaguely sweet squash and nothing else

It’s the spice blend you like 😄

Good luck with your upcoming medical thing, and make sure that your little guy gets a pizza bone or two.

Wow.

Turns out I used to know someone very much like Olivia.

(I’m glad we’re not married anymore.)

That this person has been able to work as a top tier journalist for years tells me that practically every editor being paid today is corrupt and craven.

It’s time to close the high school.

Gotta love the New York Times, hiding people questioning whether this is even a thing.

I’m sure the pull of being racist and cruel to other people is exactly like feeling you are too cool for school and pretending nothing matters.

I feel like the rot is so deep at the editorial level, it calls for reevaluating professional standards across the board.

Condé Nast has issues in my opinion but I’m familiar with only a small subset of their journalists. Berger’s access-based soft-pedaling on Tesla’s behalf, etc.

This is a rule.

A tuxedo cat gazes earnestly into the camera in front of a background of a cluttered living room with a fire place in the corner.

My favorite thing early on a cold morning is starting a fire and waiting two or three minutes for my tuxedo cat to sit on my lap while I enjoy my 1st cup of coffee

This is a great thread.

Over the past few months this account really has nailed the Maureen Dowd takes.

This is why I keep saying that places like Fremont and Ingleside in San Francisco will keep Tesla floating for a while.

I’m curious whether sport mode in that implementation actually changes timing and performance factors, or if it’s like the sport mode on old BMWs - just a sharper throttle map.

At least on some cars from the 1998-2005 period, Sport did nothing but make the ITB blades more sensitive. Same power.

That’s the coolest fucking Infiniti J 30 I’ve ever seen

When I look at dating sites, I have certain thoughts in mind about who I might groove with as a friend or perhaps something more.

I always skip people who intentionally add “I don’t follow politics” to their profile because in my mind, that’s even worse than voting for the worst person.

I remember looking at the nicotine streaks at the back of the pressure vent for the cabin as a kid.

I always try to wear, reasonably sturdy shoes, pants, and cotton shirts, if you can believe it. I used to fly -a lot-, and I do fire safety. Shading my chances.

To be clear this latest bullshit is just old people angry that the youth don’t dress up to fly anymore.

The Falcon rocket exited development for its first commercial deployment in 2012 and the success of this program is basically the only reason why everyone assumes this idiotic superheavy Starship program will work eventually. It's pure faith completely detached from engineering or design principles

I can’t wait for his next breathless sub space article for Ars…

I think you’ve probably been right since then as well.

Judging from the adulation that certain members of the board have for certain people, it’s been built in for a very long time.

A photo of a Tesla plaid sitting in traffic. The license plate reads “Biohakr”.

Warn your children about these kinds of people. They are unpredictable and capricious. There’s a strong evidence they may also be dishonest.

Wow. I can’t even believe you’d print something like this except maybe to show what a monster the writer is.

Remind me which presidential aspirant was in charge of the Department of transportation in 2003?

NHTSA investigations found that 27 deaths occurred between 1970 and mid-1977 in rear-impact crashes involving Ford Pintos bursting into flames.

Tesla had 28 deaths due to battery fires in 2023 alone.

Hey Siri, tell me how to simultaneously destroy the resale value of a car in one demographic while causing it to rise stratospherically in another
