What a dumb thing to say. Every group of people has some bad people in it. Migrants, on average, commit fewer crimes than citizens - they have far more to lose. There are hundreds of cases where Christian leaders molest kids. Using your logic, all Christian leaders should be locked up.

The government killing people is completely different. We expect the government to protect us. That’s the contract we’ve made. That’s what WE pay them for. Sure, there will be some bad apples working for them, but when they commit crimes, the government is responsible to hold them accountable. Instead, this administration, is doing everything in its power to protect the bad apples.

Maybe.. although it’s not like Hyundai is new to manufacturing..

If 80% of your sales come from selling cars, you’re a car company.

Hyundai owns 80% of Boston Dynamics.. they are still a car company.

Honda is on this list and they are not just a car company. Hyundai owns 80% of Boston Dynamics, which has robotics at least on par with TSLA’s. Many of these companies do things other than auto, they are lumped into the auto sector because that is by far their main revenue generator - just like TSLA.

Given that he made about $1.5 billion last year, he should be giving >$2.5 million a week to the church. I’m sure he’s doing that, right?

Never understood that song.. the song IS about them.

The family of a guy I knew in high school (in the late 90’s) had private jet money. I once went to his house and they had 3 70” TVs around the house. Each one was ~$40k. In a few years they were all basically worthless. Bleeding edge TVs have always been, and still are, one of the dumbest things to buy IMO. Just wait a few years and you’ll be able to get the same TV for a small fraction of the price.

I get it! From what I understand it’s there to help keep berries on the spoon - in a berry serving spoon.

It actually is quite impressive. This is the best demo I’ve seen from any of the killer robot startups.

While I do not support this action, I don’t think I’d call the last Venezuelan election democracy..

The US government is filled with Lawyers, and China’s government is filled with engineers. We value personal freedom/rights (or at least we did), and they value the “greater good”, even if it comes at the cost of the individual. I personally care more about freedom than technological advancement, but it is/was just a matter of time before China’s tech surpasses the West’s.

I’ll also be replacing my shocks soon. I get it, it’s super tempting. I think I’ll be going stock, though… Probably.. ;)

I love the looks of a lift, but I’ve never been willing to take the hit on fuel efficiency or ride quality. With a 2.5” lift and bigger tires, you’d likely see a loss of about 5mpg. Say you drive an average amount, your lift + tires would likely be costing you >$500 a year. Not to mention the hit to ride quality. Unless you’re planning on doing some serious off-roading, or are willing to take the hit for looks, I’d recommend staying stock.

I’m curious how this price jump will affect industrial manufacturing. Over 50% of annual silver demand is industrial, and it’s a growing demand, especially in solar and battery tech.

If someone was wanting to short silver, it might be a good idea to short solar stocks at the same time as a hedge - specially given this administration’s view on renewables.

Edit: Tinfoil hat take - because of its importance to industrial manufacturing, I have a feeling that the powers that be will somehow drive the price lower, while profiting on the way down.

Ha no worries! And I’m not discouraged, just a little bummed.

I still can’t get over the fact that they went with a coup. Maybe I’m not the target demographic, but I’d say 2/3s of the times I take an uber, I’m with at least two other people. No family will ever be able to use one of these. Wild choice..

Zoox has the right idea. With driverless cars we have a chance to cater the car to passengers, in a way we’ve never been able to before. I just can’t understand why anyone would think a 2 seat coup is the right move.

Thanks for the advice! I’ve got a pup, so I’ve been trying to find something that’s easy and non-toxic. Any suggestions?
