Oopsie doodle!

Get a ford focus. Or, gasp a Toyota.

But don’t give me that argument, because it’s 100% bullshit.

Americans don’t have the choice to do most of these things, or the choice to do most of anything.

You have the choice what car to buy. You often have a choice of when you fly somewhere. I mean, you can always skip that California vacation and go camping somewhere local, I’m not asking you to skip your brother’s wedding.

That post also misses the biggest thing you can do to reduce your carbon footprint. Eat less beef. Reduce the amount of beef you eat, substitute chicken or even pork, that will have a massive effect on your carbon footprint.

I mean we know trump supporters committed domestic terrorism, they shocked the world, doing it on live tv. This just shows that it was more than once, not a single isolated incident.

Pass…

Oh man, I fell apart with that line…

Seriously, I’m still chuckling

Yeah, the hivemind can get pretty tiresome.

Are you joking? Well the answer is no, no the SLS is about 40 years behind as far as technology goes. It’s basically a shuttle derived launch vehicle, the boosters are similar to the shuttle side boosters and it uses 4 slightly updated RS-25s (the space shuttle main engines) in the center stage.

Except instead of getting with the times and attempting some reusability, it actually has less reusability than the shuttle had. They actually throw away all of those expensive high performance hydrolox engines on every launch.

That’s literally exactly what spaceX is developing, rockets you don’t have to blow up every flight.

Fully reusable rockets have never been done before, but they’re coming.

I fully support this. Fuck Uber.

Oh ok, well that’s a relief. I’m glad we had you and your crystal ball handy!

Haha everyone keeps saying that! But it’s pretty funny how wrong everyone is about where the mistake was.

The math is just fine, I did the simple addition correctly. It’s the reading comprehension that I got wrong, I misunderstood what the sentence was saying.

No, my math is just fine, it’s my reading comprehension that needs work, because I totally misunderstood what that sentence was saying.

Oh thank you, my mistake. Still the numbers are huge!

Ugh… it drives me nuts!

Musk had to borrow around $13 billion for his doomed $44 billion acquisition.

Had he spent that $57 $44 billion on developing space hardware instead of going insane and squandering it on social media bullshit, he might have done something worthwhile. I mean… fifty seven billion! What even is that much money? He could have had his own space station for that much money! He could fly up there for weekends, just for funzies.

Hah, you’re nuts man.

Apple invented the smartphone, so in 2007 they had 100% of the market share. But when Android phones began arriving, they started getting some of that market. Years later many different manufacturers started selling Android phones and Apple’s market share dropped below 50%. Is that Apple squandering their lead, or is that just inevitability once the public had more options? I mean if you represent 5% of the brands competing, why would you expect to hold 75% of the market? That’s crazy…

I’d argue that there is no company that could maintain 75% market share in any category of car sales, and failing to do the impossible is not the same as mismanagement. But hey prove me wrong if you can.

Ooh, like a rotating determination engine, NASA has had some recent success with that.

One company still has 49.7% market share and you think that’s blowing it in any way? Do you have any idea how many manufacturers are now making EVs? Holding on to that much market share is crazy! Besides, with so many more new EVs on the road, that’s probably still an increase in vehicles. You can’t expect them to keep that kind of lead when they’re one of a dozen car companies competing for that market.

unless everyone else has caught up and outstripped you.

And yeah, with 49%, nobody is outstripping them, nobody is even close.

Every other company that makes an EV now makes one that works better, lasts longer and looks better than Tesla does.

Well be that as it may, somehow they still have more market share in the EV market than any of their competitors. They likely have almost as much market share as all of their competitors combined, (though I don’t have those numbers to confirm). So regardless of what you think of the quality of their cars, I wouldn’t say they’ve squandered their lead, not with the kind of sales they’re doing.

Also, I mean, their brand is all about electricity, the company is named after Nicola Tesla.
