If you can fake authenticity, you’ve got it made

I went to a tasting at Reliance Jamnagar, where they planted mangos (for tax breaks?). Endless varieties plonked on your plate. A flight of mangos. Still an alphonso fan.

Model 3 killed GM’s leverage, and now they’re trying to dump them as compliance cars to make their margin on trucks.

Seats are bad, but you can add aftermarket pad. Quick for its class (6 sec 0-60), fun to drive, virtually free with solar panels.

Never pay list. Leasehackr forums broker price: $4700 up front / out the door for 36 mo, CA $2K rebate, Costco member discount, competitive lease discount, local buyer discount, clearing ’21s before new model.

Broker sources online leads for lower price, because buyer’s knowledgeable and ready to sign.

My Bolt lease is $75/mo.

GOP created a bunch of low-population states (North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Washington, Idaho, and Wyoming) in 1889-90 to stack the Senate; and granting 2 senators per artificial perimeter is the same one-person-one-vote problem. National popular vote is the only democratically legitimate method.

The slaver bits (including electoral college, disproportionate Senate) need a total rewrite. Amending against bad faith pol exploits should be as frequent as Patch Tuesday.

While we’re at it, promote the non-slaver founders symbolically and strike the slavers from the currency. Rebrand as Free States of America.

ICE trade-in value will crash as mfrs exit the market, parts will become scarce.

10 extra min after 4-6 hrs of driving isn’t significant unless you’re doing a Cannonball Run. And they can go even higher voltage in future.

It’s going to tip a lot faster than that in 2 yrs when EVs are cheaper up front.

The new 800V EVs only take 15 minutes from ~20% to 80%.

Yep, burning bio batteries and funding Putin/MbS. Why not download power from your roof, free?

It was a glorious day when I could finally delete my home page link to the H₂ stations, because I upgraded to EV.

PATH’s slow and annoying, runs an inconvenient weekend route to Hoboken, and except for downtown Hoboken, you need a car after the train. It works when you have relatives in NJ.

I loved living in NYC for city stuff, but came to miss Mexican and South Indian food, hikes, surf, Fry’s (RIP), talking with other techies rather than being a curio for finbros. Flavor in the Bay, well, Oakland/Berkeley.

Email first, then Web.

Six Eyes Alliance

I would totally be a hot sauce prepper.

They aren’t anymore, are more dependent on US weapons and parts than vice versa

One of SpaceX’s rocket leads was 27 at their first successful launch.

Running hills solves, if you have hills nearby: short (steep), variety, views

Yep, Waymo approach is brittle

Last .01% = “assume AGI…”

Ingest and vest

Assume you mean applied rather than coined. Avatar in Hinduism = form / skin / incarnation

Training set / test set

I get a similar notification when I take Apple Watch surfing. Also took an iPhone 11 in a waterproof bag around my neck for pics, but it was a hassle to zip up the wetsuit, and the bag fogged up.

There’s decades of research on mRNA, which we also know is temporary (explaining its fragility and ultra-cold requirement) and never enters the nucleus. Seems intrinsically safer than adenovirus-based vaccines.
