I do love the way old cars look, but in addition to the poor mileage, they're also deathtraps by modern safety standards.

I wish I could make YouTube "experience suboptimal revenue" in retaliation, but sadly I can't block more than 100% of ads.

Because that's what intelligence is. There's a very funny video floating around of a squirrel repeatedly trying to bury an acorn in a dog's fur and completely failing to understand why it's not working. Now sure, a squirrel is not the smartest animal in the world, but it does have some intelligence, and yet there it is just mindlessly reproducing a pattern in the wrong context. Maybe you're thinking that humans aren't like that, that we make decisions by actually thinking through our actions and their consequences instead of just repeating learned patterns. I put it to you that if that were the case, we wouldn't still be dealing with the same problems that have been plaguing us for millennia.

Note the pattern: a willingness to ignore the details of what could go wrong, YOLO it and just test it out, and the assumption that if nothing goes wrong when you do that, it means that everything is fine and nothing else could possibly go wrong.

Did anyone else reading this bit immediately think of that other rich idiot that died in his ridiculous submarine?

Technically yes, but in practice any gains are going to be counteracted if not outweighed by the electromagnetic noise from the fan's motor. To avoid that interference and see any real improvement in your signal strength, you'd have to either use a fan with a shielded motor (the last such model went out of production in 1953, so good luck finding one) or a fan driven by an alternative power source such as a water wheel.

Yes, it's almost as if making a car with completely flat body panels is an idea so completely idiotic even John DeLorean wouldn't do it...

Wait, I thought he was just bullshitting his fans with that. He's actually serious? XD

Also, I don't understand what this has to do with bare metal construction of the Cybertruck and why that should present exceptional difficulties. DeLorean figured out how to make bare metal cars more than forty years ago, so it can't be that hard.

So in other words, they can afford to pay damages for it. Make them pay!

Sudden? No, not really. People have sucked at reading comprehension as far back as I can remember (which is some decades).

Do you get more science or less if you use a baseball bat?

You can apply a matte finish yourself with a piece of fine sandpaper.

Who said anything about changing him? I just wanna have fun.
