Well they now support Apple Carplay as of a month or two ago. Also they've improved the ride quality apparently for the 2023 model Y at least.

No, let's be honest here. I'll go with the country that has a history of lying and cheating was lying and cheating again. That's your reputation, soak in it.

You're missing the damage here. Trump tried to weight trucks because domestic manufacturers are making solid profits from them, and foreign manufacturers have to pay a tariff to get them into the country. So rather than "Orange man bad" -- take a moment and a breath and consider what will happen to all the jobs for domestic manufacturers like GM and Ford when they re-emphasize trucks and lose their entire market to new tech electrics from foreign manufacturers because they're selling last gen product. Oh, you think Rivian has the supply chain in place and can ramp up to match Tesla's production capacity? Let me laugh even harder. These manufacturers will lose their markets and their jobs will be lost to foreign manufacturers and improving technology. So "orange man bad?" No, we're well beyond that. If the industry follows, it will die because he will kill it.

That *would* be sleazy -- unless, of course, it's from one of these sanctity-of-marriage assholes.

"United States leases the Guantanamo Bay base area from Cuba. It's under US jurisdiction, but Cuban souvereignty." No, the US always claims to be leasing it, but the US doesn't pay (they write checks to a Cuban position that no longer exists, and hasn't existed since the revolution). Plus the terms of the lease are in violation of the Vienna Laws on Treaty Conventions. What you have there is simple occupation at the point of a gun to a government that the US doesn't like.

PLEASE please please people!

If you're going to discuss Mercedes' vehicles it's important to distinguish between cars built 20 years ago, and Mercedes cars built today. None of the cars built today will ever make it 90 days without going back in for service. They're one of the LEAST reliable vehicles on the road. If you like service room free coffee, buy a Mercedes. (I learned my lesson, and talked to everybody else who also learned THEIR lesson.) Shitty, shitty vehicles today. They can't even keep their supercars on the road without an oil light going on. And it doesn't help that their sales staff think they should have egos. DO NOT BUY A MODERN MERCEDES!

You don't understand -- the companies are in cohorts which makes sense in context of "the fugal dad" -- clearly a reference to a father playing the flugelhorn with his cohorts. It's very high-level stuff here. When slashdot hires editors someday the puns will be even more brilliant.

Huh. I wonder why they lost $4b in valuation when they did fine management practices like "Give one guy 160 servers to manage" and "have him work 50 hours weeks."

When those armed men break into a solar plant it's not as big a deal.

Wow, luckily uranium doesn't need to be mined!

"including things like wind, solar, and hydro."

Bullshit, bullshit and bullshit. The solar fatality numbers are outright false, they came from anyone in California who ever fell off a roof. And wind and hydro? Puhleeze. Obviously you're including construction fatalities without including uranium mining fatalities for any of your stats. Additionally nuclear never includes unattributed deaths due to cancers -- after all, who can prove the source of a particular cancer?

Krugman got it timed pretty well -- ten years ago. He even predicted the double dip recession:

From 2001:

"Here's my nightmare: America's recovery from its current slump, whenever it comes, is tentative and short-lived, because the business investment that drove our boom in the 1990's remains stagnant. Eventually the housing bubble bursts and we have another slump; then we have another weak recovery, this time driven by deficit spending, but that, too, fades out. Eventually we look around and realize that it's 2009, and the economy still hasn't fully recovered from the slowdown that began at the end of the previous decade."

Wow, Knave, you're really ignorant about yourself.

Your response to a description of a psychological process that affects everyone, and especially those with "poor social skills and superiority complexes" -- is to say "YEAH BUT THEY'RE WRRRROOOOONNNNNGGGG!" Thereby proving his point. You should get some kind of award for being utterly non-self-aware.

Japan should build nuclear reactors on top of geologically freely available and all-but infinite hot water? That's just crazy. Although I have to give kudos to the GE nuclear plant salesman who first sold that lemon to the Japanese.
