At the time (mid-90s) that the Ford vs. Chevy vs. Mopar guys were standing in the high school parking lot arguing, they (we) absolutely mixed our measurement units.  Marketing works well on teenage boys. 
 

Ford had advertised their V8 as a “5.0” since they dropped it in the Fox Body. Chevy’s small-block for the Camaro and Corvette (and trucks) was always a “350.”  Mopar was beginning to call its 360 truck engine a “5.9” but there was lots of inertia and nostalgia for the 360 small block from the muscle era— and the Mopar crate motor. 

Also ford’s 302 is not quite 5 liters, but chevy’s 305 is. 
 

But they weren’t about to put 4.9 on the side of a mustang.

Dude, when you've lost Berger ....

That was my exact thought when I read that article last night.

Both are short of 5 liters but are reasonably rounded to that value.

 Once the "training wheels" come off of it and the full capability of FSD 13 takes over that feature, it will be much better.

Sounds quite a bit like the pitches for FSD 1-12, to be honest

I could have gone with time is a flat circle, but wanted something truly obscure.

Musk-hating hackers release names and addresses of every Tesla owner in the US with chilling symbol

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14513669/Musk-hating-hackers-release-names-addresses-Tesla-owner-US-chilling-symbol.html

Interesting because it puts the focus on teSSla's tech vulnerabilities while muSSk is plucking the sensitive info of all americans for his ai vanity project. Seems likely the info came from a hack of the company. The site (which is definitely not***d o g e q u e (dot) st)*** doesn't list all individual owners though, just a few.

1.4 billion USD is currently unaccounted for in swasticar's books. Occam's Razor says it's likely being hidden to boost operating cash flow when earnings are announced, although there are other potential explanations that may be legit.

Purposely flipped over from Kimmel to Fallon to see Burr last night and he did NOT disappoint.

Secondary point -- I would kill to see that Glengarry Glen Ross with all those starts involved (Kieran Culkin, Odenkirk, Michael McKean).

I think what we’ve learned is that hackers are largely rightwing, mercenary, nihilistic, and/or libertarian. Do we finally have a antifa, pro-statist hackers roaming around? They want to restore order and stand up for the seniors getting their post offices closed.

Anonymous is pretty progressive is it not? They definitely ain't conservative/MAGA.

That movie is worth your time simply for the Jessica Biel scenes.

Yup, I didn't even know there was a Broadway reboot.  That cast is amazing.

Ford had an existing 300 cu in straight 6 used in the F-150 through 1996, which was known as the 4.9 L engine from 1978. So another "4.9 L" engine could be a little confusing.

Re muSSk's promise to be on the next one: It's a game. He'll never do it. 

Technically and philosophically, can there be a 'next one' if there hasn't been a first one?

NO.

Whoa...Swasticar received approval today from California to operate its driverless taxi!

Fine Print Terms And Conditions GIF by Satish Gaire

  1. Use current model year vehicle
  2. The only passengers must be Swasticar employees
  3. The vehicle must be driven at all times by a Swasticar employee; no driverless rides allowed. 
  4. If things go well, they may eventually be allowed to drive members of the public around in a taxi with a Swasticar driver.

 

So, driverless taxis are approved, as long as they have a driver?

Phrasing.  

But to be fair, the 5.0 and 350 were fine.  I was just responding to the 350 being referred to as a 3.5 and a 360 being a 3.6 which makes them seem like they are smaller than the 302 (5.0).

Hmm. How many people were employed by the Federal Government in 2024? What's that? More than 3 million you say? Hmm.

Government workers are all parasites,  like those soldiers, doctors, scientists, and accountants.   But not people like gym jordan, gaetz, hammertoes, public handjob, etc.

Finance companies going to be pissed if you have loan and can't get insurance.  Doubt they want to mess with repo'ing uninsurable cars.
