For many of those years it was the only electric pickup truck being advertised. And also, yes people do like the Tesla name. Musk and growing competition has done a ton to tank the reputation lately, but until just a couple years ago Tesla was far and away the best and most advanced electric car, and depending on your criteria the most advanced/best car period. Perception shifts slowly outside of well-informed groups, and the Musk hate is really only affecting well-informed left wing groups right now, so a lot of libertarian Musk fanboys are still fully on the Tesla train

One could make the case that it is a patriotic duty to divert money from fascists that would otherwise go to fascist causes

UK mpg are different than US mpg, it looks like 1 mpg US is ~1.2 mpg UK

I think that’s part of the point? The twitchy zoomers aren’t on?

Any particular area/aspect you’re looking to improve?

It is definitely an arms race between better bots and better anti-bot, but part of that paradigm is that it gets more expensive to participate in the race the faster it gets. If valve applied the acceleration even a little bit, the number of bots would at least temporarily be reduced, which would make the player experience astronomically better. No bots whatsoever is unreasonable, but most pubs being 50% bots or more means they can effectively vote-ban anyone and is untenable

Just sounds like the first episode of community with less context and more soapboxing

And I think Dr Who before that, although the Borg are certainly more known for it

https://freesewing.org/ has somewhat limited patterns but they’re flexible and a really cool project!

What time is the bulk of the wedding/event? Tux/dinner jacket should really only be worn in the evening and will look a bit out of place in daylight along with being pretty hot and sweat-trapping due to the denser material and generally dark colors.

I think the linen 3-piece suit is a great suggestion, but if you’re worried about wrinkles then a light-weight wool or wool-silk blend will also look great in summer and keep you cooler. For color, lighter colors are a bit less formal but more summery and feel cooler so maybe tan, khaki, or light warm-toned gray? And a matched 3-piece would bring the formality right back up.

Oh I’ve got one too, PM me for it I guess?

You should be able to, but US non-car infrastructure is so abysmal that there’s a strong chance you can’t safely unfortunately

And help one of the 5 benefits they listed?

They don’t make it obvious at all, in fact they do their best to seem like you can’t

US funding for basic research–the type that will lead to the truly paradigm-shifting breakthroughs–has also been in decline for 50+ years as a proportion of GDP. While bureacracy could be an obstacle, the much larger one is insufficient resources to fund a lot of moonshots that may fizzle or may result in 'zero to one’s innovation, as the author states

If you’ve ever played around with an old-style lighter (think classic Zippo) you’d get it! They’re fairly expensive, and aren’t airtight so they need to be refilled every few days/weeks. If you fill them too much they need to be kept upright or they’ll spill lighter fluid on you. Super cool and can hold flames for a while but not nearly as conventient as a matchbook for quick fire lighting
