  3. Tesla, Inc. (formerly Tesla Motors), founded in 2003
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....

    The Nissan Leaf (Japanese: ) is a compact five-door hatchback electric car manufactured by Nissan and introduced in Japan and the United States in December 2010, followed by various European countries and Canada in 2011.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    If Nissan had really wanted to make an electric car, they would have made one to compete with the GM EV1 in the early 2000's, especially after GM stopped making them. Nissan would have had all the market for themselves.

    But no, it took them two years after the Tesla Roadster was launched in 2008 (or seven years after Tesla was created and announced they were going to build electric cars) to finally decide to bring an electric car to market.

    So yes, I have heard about the Nissan Leaf. Just like the other car companies, they had to be pushed into making electric cars.

    Don't you guys have laws that limits the rent increase to a percentage of the current rent?

    Unless the limit is around 10% and they're paying $5000 per month for a freakin' apartment... are they?

    I keep getting emails that are clearly meant for some prince living in Nigeria or something.

    I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.

    Then how the hell are people going to get their Quantum cars repaired?

    That third person was only doing that because she knew her husband was going to leave her because of that. And he was going to leave her because he was the barman who served the first guy a drink in order to break the table he should have won at the auction.

  12. The funny part here is someone saying "Hahaha the others got hacked but we didn't so the others suck and we rule" and then getting hacked four days later.

  13. And I swear I heard Malory Archer in my head as I read your post.

    You mean the same marketplace that would have been made by companies such as GM, who crushed their own electric cars so that nobody could buy them?

    Glass is too heavy and require too much energy to move around. We're trying to reduce our energy consumption and you want to go back to heavier cargo that will destroy our roads even more?

    Aluminium should be used instead of both glass and stainless steel since aluminium is practically recyclable infinitely and is almost as lightweight as plastic at the mechanically equivalent thickness.

    We're already packing sodas in aluminium cans, why aren't we doing the same for water? What's wrong with water in aluminium cans instead of water in plastic bottles?

    Do you want to have flawed data? Because that's how you get flawed data.

    Make it at least 3 kilometres long, otherwise all your data will be coming from basically the same exact spot.
