By the time it's even possible to look at the results, management has been talking about it so long in positive terms anyone pointing out what's really going in is committing corporate-politics-suicide by publicly talking about it.

So for efficiency sake, charging a car will always be better than replaceable batteries?

I just know they tried it then threw in the towel on it a couple of times.

You can charge a battery to 80% pretty quickly, that last 20% takes forever. Perhaps it's best to just add 20% extra capacity then tell the customer it's at "100%" at 80%.

"A SuperCharging station will get standard Tesla batteries to 80% in around 15 minutes."

You can do the same with electricity, it just always ends up being easier to just quick charge it.

nobody murders anymore

Interesting post, but this one continues to annoy me. Women only do less murdering because men are around and it's easier to avoid risk to herself by getting a man to act out the violence she benefits from, with little risk to her.

With no men around women would simply start enacting violence themselves instead. The first school shooter was a woman who said her only regret was not shooting more people and that "it was fun". There were early teen girls in wisconsin who lured their friend into the woods, stabbed her repeatedly, and left her for dead.

I know 10 girls like this, and 1 guy like this. It's largely a girl thing.

I've known some guys like this who really do get by in life by feigning helplessness.

The complaint is that there's a small number of men acting off the standard women's script.

Online you're simply talking to women who love to complain.

Most of the women online are older women who've lost the ability to attract attention through sexuality, but want to relive the attention and control, closest they can get is complaining about men.

Guys like they describe to exist.

No, this is their deliberate tactic. But shaming men for acting like the women is the real basis of what they're doing.

They find some rare edge case 0.1% men that act like women in some way then obssess over it again and again until they've deliverately misrepresented it as the common case and now you end up going on that "men" act in such and such a way that's actually how averagec women act.

Seriously, I swear the conservative narrative is just a secondary source of pushing the liberal narrative.

Liberals know exactly what they're doing when they phrase things this way, knowing conservatives will trot out predictable responses that actually reinforce that liberals were somehow right to begin with.

Why, he's an adult? If it took one hour to "convince" him of something he was looking to be convinced.

Here's the question, let's pretend the doctor convinced him he had a real disease - like penis cancer - and the only way to not die was to have his junk amputated.

Later it turns out, his doctor gets awards for the highest number of diagnosise, so he "diagnosed" him with no objective proof and left him with severed genitals in pursuit of winning this award.

Do you think he should be able to sue the doctor for malpractice?

It's literally been the same pattern.

Places with high population density tend towards being liberal.
Places with spread out population tend towards being conservative.

Obviously mild airborne contagions are going to spread more quickly in areas with high population density.

"far right" is the exact equivalent of a child calling another child a "poopyhead".

Why are women more susceptible to Munchausens syndrome by proxy? (Injuring someone for social benefit)

A man wants to be violent. He goes out and gets into a fight.

A woman wants to be violent. She finds a man she can convince to be violent, and gets him into a fight.

It's fundamental to female nature.

CEO compensation packages leave them able to retire with multiple expensive houses. These are the higher ones:

Whiting Petroleum Corporation ($14.6 million for top executives)
University of Arizona ($7.29 million for head football coach)
University of Texas ($24 million for football coaches)
Tenet Healthcare Corporation ($875,000 bonus and $11.3 million in stock awards for CEO)
MGM Resorts International ($32 million for CEO)
ABC (8-figure payout for The Bachelor and The Bachelorette host)

If you fired and weren't already looking for a job, 2 months salary just covers your bills until you get a new job. That's a nicety...it's not a lot.

An equivalent payout for lower level employees would be like they get $750k, enough to retire but only if they're really stingy.

You said "why do you think severance packages are so juicy"...those people are getting the generous severance packages CEO's get, even proportional to their salary.

Their best severance package seems to be a couole months of salary.

Unless you know something I don't...

I mean it's supposed to be a horror book.

They aren't for average people.

Nearly no one is legally unfireable in the US.

Musk seems to want to destroy the twitter monster, which is cool, but he's not running a company that he wants to keep working or growing.

This is really a problem with the one size fits all pay structure almost all businesses use. Where instead of paying based on work or productivity, you are exclusively paid based on seniority and "how many people are under you."

The problem is this doesn't work.

Measuring fine grained productivity goes one of two ways:

• what they actually measuring is ass kissing and wasting time faking productivity, or

• the company turns into a burn-and-churn environment that burns out the people doing the work, once again the advantage goes to people in unmeasurable roles

That's not what that actually means.

I personally simply believe Twitter needs to be destroyed.

I interact with a lot of people at work, and a lot more normalacy seems to have returned since Musk started undoing twitter.

The Volkswagen plant under the Nazis contained four concentration camps and eight forced-labor camps.

Sometimes I think someone is just trolling the celebrities, honestly.

In more recent times -

Many people also pointed out the VW emissions scandal, where they programmed their cars to pass inspection tests, but the same cars puts out more emissions in real-world driving.

It's not as dramatic as literally publicly supporting nazis, but the hypocrisy if buying a an electric car for environmental points, from a company who was recently deliberately cheating environmental tests..

Wasn't this the one where a bunch of so called "white southern racists" thought it was so absurd they refused to convict the black guy?

unpaid moderation

Well sorta.

Reddit isn't paying them.
That doesn't mean no ine is paying them.

"negative/hate tweets"

So...the same policy as before in a slightly lighter version?

People push an agenda to manipulate your kids into castrating themselves openly, but if you say how evil they are that will get buried?

So if we agree to put all the (ethic group) in wonderful free mandatory camps with free gas showers and lots of exercise digging, that's good? I guess?

It's definiteky heading in a "cut off parts of your body to display fealty to us, or die of starvation" direction isn't it.
