  1. Oh man, I'm not gonna dismiss Austin, but I feel confident Bear Schlong will back me up in saying, there is a lot of crazy everywhere. That said, I know some of my family felt bad about giving me the cold shoulder at some point. I can only hope some friends I lost did too. When I say hope they felt bad, let me be clear, that's me hoping I can still or have to some degree redeemed myself. I hope those I lost will forgive me if I get a chance to apologize. I hope I didn't cause them too much pain. Basically, "I hope they felt bad" should really be, I feel bad for having run them off. I hope they'll forgive me. That's me rambling late after driving too many hours and recently becoming unemployed but still happy to be alive and sober for over 10 years. If it's poorly worded, I apologize. Saw a good friend today, seeing family and friends this weekend. Love this world, love my life.
  2. What kind of backwoods regard puts a city not a department of transport or I dunno, some traffic oriented government entity in charge of traffic light patterns. :::check thread title::: Forget i asked It's fixed, case closed
  3. Sir, I think you missed the fact that Cybertruck has the rare and amazing "Enable free roll" feature which is very hard to find these days.
  4. Are your children willing to testify to that fact? Are you in cahoots with Nicole, a side piece assistant while she's allegedly in Atlanta? Before you answer, know that I don't believe you. When was the last time you ate Chilean Sea Bass?
  5. But it's a great idea for those looking to live off a disability and massive legal settlement. Can't see a downside other than maybe being forced to "shoot" off hand for the rest of your life.
  6. Yeah, it wasn't rodents that consumed that weed.
  7. That already exists. They're currently call Tesla owners, which isn't a great business model.
  8. Hey man, maybe his BIL is pimptastic and buff. You don't know, and it's no nice of you to assume he isn't.
  9. Yeah while it's amusing in one regard, QA issues are already a concern among the Tesla lineup. Reducing the employees from a problem area is not likely to help the problem area unless of course they are replacing them with better folks... which I'm pretty sure they aren't.
  10. This was my basic assumption given my limited knowledge. They also want to track website/app behavior as I have a family member who lives in that world. Of course, banking entities aren't the only ones.
  11. I like Proton and use it on my PC and Phone. The app connects quickly and they also have a email service. It's HQed in Switzerland and the ownership is not afraid of giving certain entities the middle finger regarding, um.. pron browsing history.
  12. That's what I use. The pay to play version. It's fast, but there are a goodly number of web pages that kick back when in use. Banking is one of them. I've found if I switch to a US first link it works or short term turn it off. Happy to learn of work arounds others might know for this issue, since this now seems to be the VPN thread.
  13. You're hoping you can get our entire state, local and federal government workers committed aren't you?!? You might want to start with the Greeks or Italians. Low hangin' fruit if you will.
  14. Well, my knowledge is dated back to when I worked in the field, but first and foremost a person has to be shown as a danger to themselves or others. Then a court ordered involuntarily commitment can be issued, but it typically requires family members or law enforcement to press for such. In short, again, based on my very dated and incomplete knowledge of the subject, none of the required aspects are present. Even if they were, he would apply a lot of counter pressure with a wrll finanaced legal team and a ton of folks would come to his "rescue". So.. in short, no chance that I am aware of currently. I am happy to be corrected by more knowledgeable folks.
  15. Well, I've long (nearly since Tesla founding) maintained that the biggest issue with Tesla would ultimately be the production scaling ability. Scaling efficiency reduces cost and ultimately leads to a wider market. Further, I was always watching the funding aspect, particularly the subsidy aspect and profit. I long though of shorting, but hey... I didn't. That said, while I agree with your sentiment regarding loyalty to a degree, I don't agree to the extent. There are a goodly number of people that buy a brand. I also think there are car people and people that buy cars. It's pretty clear Tesla created a bit of a hybrid, people that buy Teslas. I think there was a great possibility to get into that market with a lower cost entry. Ultimately, I agree with your one trick pony assessment, but I think the production scaling and lack of a lower cost entry Tesla was the cause. Oddly, I really wanted Tesla to succeed, still want it to. I know the car helped change the market forever. Those are good things. The back end dealing with dead lithium ion batteries and mining for new ones is a bad one, but that's not a Tesla only issue.
  16. I largely agree with the entirety of your post, but this had me cackling and was absolutely quote worthy.
  17. Well man, it is a "Ford" being loaded onto a roadback from the roadside so.. it's fitting. (Sorry, couldn't resist the F.O.R.D. joke. I know, I suck.)
  18. Should have included Edsel for sure. Now I want to start a shitty car museum.
  19. That's fair, just the Fiero fire issues made me put it in there. Seeing those in flames on the side of the road is burned into my memories. I'm willing to trade it for the Aurora or Catera though.
  20. Santa Cruz, Maverick, Ranger, Colorado, Ridgeline, Taco or whatever is much a better choice.
  21. Actually, I agree, it does. I mean in a comic and actual sense, I'd rather drive that one if forced to roll a Cybertruck.
  22. A car collection with Cybertruck, Pontiac Aztek, Lincoln Blackwood, GM EV1, Yugo, Cadilac Cimarron, Chevy Citation, Pontiac Fierro, DeLorean, VW Phaeton, Jag X-Type and other similar idiotic blunders by car manufacturers would be worthy. Particularly, if they had narration video/audio of the various surrounding issues and stupidity. I'd visit that museum for sure.
