    Great. I'm glad you're so eager to start relocating people away from the coasts.

    How many refugees are you willing to board in your home?

    Of course he didn't mean to relocate them to where he lives; that would be silly.
    Surely there must be a shithole country that will take them

    Yup, we only want movies that show make believe, not reality

    I thought the F in BFR stood for something else than Falcon...?

    Yes but Falcon doesn't get censored in interviews

  5. I knew that Asparagus was the devil's vegetable, not only is it disgusting, it makes your pee smell bad too. Any "food" that does this simply couldn't be healthy.
    Oh but we're f*cked.
    "Asparagine is present in plants proteins in large amount.
    Animal sources: dairy, whey, beef, poultry, eggs, fish, lactalbumin, seafood.
    Plant sources: asparagus, potatoes, legumes, nuts, seeds, soy, whole grains. Asparagine is found in potatoes so eating French fries will give you asparagine along with starch. It is also found on roasted coffee."

    In other words, EVERYTHING causes cancer

    What does that have to do with anything? When the government subsidizes oil, it keeps the price low so people can afford to drive their cars and heat their homes. When the government subsidizes Tesla, rich people get a fast trendy sports car.

    That didn't prevent the price of oil from reaching over $150 and a good chunk of the money spent on the oil-supporting war machine would have been better spent making cars and especially homes, more efficient and paid / re-trained soldiers to build them if necessary.
    For 15-20% above the typical cost of standard building code, you can build a Passivhaus for which the heating & cooling bills could be reduced by 75-90%, even if you live in a place with cold winters or hot summers

  7. It went so smoothly that is must have been FastCGI!

    There's an Inter-nutter who goes by Keef Wivaneff or Keef Leech who's been claiming for years that all the SpaceX landings have been faked

  9. That I had to double-check that I was watching a live stream and not a CGI of what they expected to happen.

    That side by side landing of the outer boosters was a thing of beauty.

    Small Penises can still be fun for girls.

    But not as fun as Afro Chimps

    She looks quite pleased to be working that black pole even if he's not working her with a vibe like your other example.
    FYI, under its hair, a chimp's skin is white. And it has a skinny dick but big balls - just like most Caucasian men.

  13. typo: Should be SonneNbatterie, not Sonnebatterie

  14. This is great news for rental tenants and others who can't make the numbers work on a solar system. South Australians can register their interest at http://ourenergyplan.sa.gov.au...

    Perhaps they can also sell shares in this & similar projects, making sure that individuals can buy in & not have it all taken up by big money.
    This should play well in markets with high electricity pricing like Australia, Hawaii, Germany & California.
    And now that Tesla has opened the door, I expect to see other players in energy storage such as Sonnebatterie try to make similar deals.

     

  15. Re:Then they can pay for the streets on Uber and Lyft Want You Banned From Using Your Own Self-Driving Car in Urban Areas (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Then Uber, Lyft and the other signatories can pay for the streets and their upkeep (paving, plowing, etc.). If tax payers are expected to continue to pay for streets then we damn well will use our driverless cars on them.

    I'm with you but that's a fight that won't be easy to win. Buses & trucks do most of the damage to paved roads but don't pay anywhere near their fair share for upkeep. Some political pretext will be found to keep you paying for roads while not being able to drive on them except in a JohnnyCab.

  16. If owners of self driving fleets want to pass laws that stop people from operating their own vehicles then people will not support self driving fleets.

    People may not have a choice.
    I've been predicting for years that once self-driving cars are good enough, it'll quickly become much harder to earn a driver's license and much easier to have one revoked

  17. Up Yours?

  19. Jay Leno has a Tesla Model S.
    So does Christian von Koenigsegg

  20. And it will still continue to happen to men and other people, because they don't seem to count as worthy of recognition!

    Kevin Spacey would disagree

  21. And instead of fixing it, women start doing the same...

    No, they're not. They're making their accusations publicly but they don't have the power to force the change.
    If they did, Trump would never have become president and Weinstein would be in jail.

  22. " you don't fire people, or force them to resign, or ruin their lives, until the the allegations are proven - that's the legal system"

    That's exactly what's happened to women who've accused powerful men for a very long time.
    And still happens today

  23. but let's try to charge them off wind/solar please?

    Which is already happening in several countries (e.g.: hydro is popular in the Alpine regions of Europe).
    You know, not every nations produces it's electricity by burning coal.

    Otherwise you're shifting the efficiency problem from your engine bay to the grid. I hate smug EV drivers boasting about "clean" driving. They get all flustered when I point out that grid-charging has all sorts of issues from coal-fired electricity.

    According to research (damn, I have to keep the link under hand), except in a few countries that have a horrible mix of sources of electricity and burn too much fossils

    UCS has been evaluating & tracking how much mpg is needed to match an EV on a grid-level basis
    http://blog.ucsusa.org/dave-re...

    Unless Mazda has their super-duper engine ready tomorrow, they're fighting an uphill battle with an elephant on their backs.
    In 2009, even on the worst grids, an EV would been about the same as a 35 mpg car.
    Fast forward to 2014 (there's a slider on one of the images on the page for comparison) and you're looking at only 2 grids where a 40 mpg car is better than an EV and if you look at the most populous areas, you need a 75 mpg car to achieve parity.

  24. Spoken like someone who has not sat behind the wheel of a decent sportscar...
    But you do have a point.It's very easy to underestimate how Tesla's drive. They weigh a lot but a Panamera has the same weight and it can handle pretty well.

    Tastes differ. But many Model S owners previously owned performance sedans.
    I'm quite surprised at how glowing the reviews about the Model 3's handling is. I think it's going to steal sales away both from the competition and its larger sibling, if Tesla ever manages to get production scaled up.
