ParticipantI’m just happy that Halliburton purchased offshore oil firefighting outfit Boots & Coots 10 days before the explosion. Imagine the luck! I’m sure they’ll have it under control any day now.
ParticipantIt seems that the idea of a pure electric car is a step backwards, not forwards. I remember back in the late 90’s/early 2000’s a few companies tried to build electric cars (Saturn and Honda I believe) which eventually failed and gave way to hybrids. What exactly does Tesla think they can do differently to overcome the negative aspects of electric cars?
I’m not the biggest fan of 100% electric cars either, but the failure of the 90s electric car offerings from GM/Toyota and others had more to do with government regulations and lobbying by the US Big 3 automakers than any technical issues or deficiencies. There is an excellent film called “Who Killed The Electric Car” that goes over the history. There was a lot more money to be made in SUVs (highest profit margin of any vehicle) than in electric cars, so that’s what they made and sold to us.

ParticipantWe gotta use up all those bombs we make anyway. They just can’t sit in warehouses forever you know.

ParticipantJust a bunch of people in a country that 90% of Americans can’t find on a map about to die. Who cares? The Bachelorette is almost down to the final 3!
