Sigh. PFP: my racing helmet, which is British racing green with a safety orange arrow design, inspired by the Porsche 908/3 gulf cars

And the better ones do it by offering the IB, fwiw.

This is like those kids’ chemistry kits from the 50s that had poisons and radioactive elements in them.

I had to take English, a second language, maths, two sciences, modern history, plus theory of knowledge and write an extended essay.

Well, let’s hold off on some of that; Europe is just as susceptible to right wing populism and Russian meddling as we are.

Which is why the IB (which I did) is an excellent idea.

A former coworker of mine is now at Nvidia pushing this shit on the DoD and I’ve rarely been more disappointed with someone.

Why does the first photo look more like a massage parlor than a restaurant?

Mostly bemused confusion. It won’t be cheap, and do you want all that Sony adware?

I see we’re still letting this dipshit moron pretend he knows about cars. Didn’t he say the Rivian was the best car in the world a while ago? Can’t remember if that was before he did 90 mph in a school zone?

I haven’t necessarily given it up, but I don’t bother drinking coffee or tea or something else caffeinated in the morning to wake up. Haven’t needed to since I stopped being able to sleep past 4:30-5 am.

This is unhinged and also an example why painted bike lanes are not protection

He heard them say β€œClinically remarkable,” and he thinks that’s good.

The Buick Electra L7 Proves Western Carmakers Can Build A Great EV In Chinaβ€”If They Want To The Buick Electra L7 is a made-in-China sedan that feels more interesting than it's U.S. counterparts. But you’ll never ever get it. And that’s a big shame.

While in China last month, I went out of my way to get seat time with Western brands β€” Buick in particular.

Ive learned that western brands absolutely can make a good EV for China. You’ll just never see it here in North America.

Tesla’s β€œMad Max” mode is now under federal scrutiny The new mode added in the latest update will speed and weave through traffic.

Or this version?

Tesla profits fall 37% in Q3 despite healthy sales A loss of regulatory credits and increased expenses didn’t help.

Charitably, I’d say you’re confused. But actually you’re just flat-out lying.

After seeing Morgan Stanley's new $TSLA analyst awarding a $210bn ($60/share) valuation for Tesla's (non-existent) Optimus program, I've been gathering a list of Musk's "fails".

Interesting to find that, since his "homerun" with the Model Y, Musk's been on a non-stop downward spiral of innovation.

Just spent a week with one of those: the most aggressively mediocre car I’ve driven in a while.

Britain's Rejoin position would be one of looking for exceptions, opt-outs, transactional benefits. Which the EU would have none of. Farage negotiating rejoin would be even worse, and any failure blamed on the EU side, playing with the feeling of rejection that has been so efficiently cultivated.
