Without that extra 2% cash discount, it would have been $420k and change. Nice.

Except that is ignoring the filtering effect of the used market. As a car ages and changes hands, it is likely to replace an older, less efficient car. How else could we replace the oldest cars that are going out of service due to being at the end of their life?

It’s not like the people that are buying old used cars are suddenly going to afford an expensive new car. Instead, they need an affordable used car.

Had to do that to get back in with Memmy too.

No surprise here since Boeing owns the FAA.

It did. Not a bad password but pretty easy to guess.

I also tried a less detailed prompt initial of “stinks like Greeley, CO” which resulted in this image.

Amazing that they still have problems with whompy wheels after all these years.

Hide your kids, hide your wi-fi.

If you’re going to retype the code of a program from scratch, then your analogy is valid. If instead you are taking the production created through someone else’s labor without compensating them, then you are stealing from them.

More like kerosene.

The example shows an interior room which would indeed be warmer. There are two which could be what they want you to select.

No, you don’t get it. They’re not cheese-eating surrender-monkeys because of their military record but because…

… they didn’t support the unjustified invasion of Iraq.

It’s because Saw VII ate IX.

It would be interesting to see them update that with current data since global PV installations are estimated at 392 GW for 2023.

It is unrealistic to imagine that we could jump into a full-scale infrastructure replacement in one year. To set the scale, the U.S. uses about 3 TW of continuous power. A 1% drop corresponds to 30 GW of power. Our modest 2% replacement therefore would require the construction of about 60 new 1 GW power plants in a single year, or a rate of one per week! Worldwide, we quadruple this number.

What capability have we demonstrated in the past? In 2010, global production of solar photovoltaics was 15 GW, which is only about 6% of what we would need to fill a world-wide energy gap of 2% per year. Even on a tear of 50% increase per year, it would take 7 years to get to the required rate. Wind installations in 2010 totaled 37 GW, or 14% of the 2% global requirement. It would take 5 years at a breakneck 50% per year rate of increase to get there. When France decided to go big on nuclear, they built 56 reactors in 15 years. In doing so, they replaced 80% of their electricity consumption, which translates to about 30% of their total energy use. So this puts them at about 2% per year in energy replacement.

Woof, that alt text.

There’s also a ton of Muskites that like him both because of and in spite of his actions. Especially the “long TSLA” crowd who are financially tied to his hip.

One feature I’m enjoying is that text message verification codes are automatically deleted once you autofill them. Not a huge change but good quality of life improvement.
