If Geico, and presumably soon others, are angering the chuds by refusing to insure this, independent crash tests definitely occurred and they were not favorable.

When I said no independent crash tests had been performed, I was specifically referring to the IIHS since they're the only ones who opinion really matters and they've stated they have not tested any Cybertruck. But yes, regardless of whether Tesla's internal crash tests were performed by their staff or some other testing lab, the fact that they're sitting on the results clearly indicates that they know just how poorly the crumplezone-less sharp-edged quality-uncontrolled ketaminemobiles fare.

To be clear, I don't know if that's why GEICO is cancelling policies on Cybertrucks, but I'd bet heavily it's a contributing factor. It could be that they decided the risk was worth it, until the trucks actually started coming out and the sheer number of recalls due to shitty manufacturing was just too much.

Also, there have been no independent crash tests done so no insurance company can accurately assess the risk, so this is wholly unsurprising.

Tesla have allegedly done their own crash tests, but they still have not released the data. It's kinda what you'd expect when a government-regulation-hating techbro designs a "I got mine fuck you" vehicle.

I'd call your local TV station or newspaper. Let them investigate and publicize it, and if it's all aboveboard at least it'll be out in the open.

No no no, they're all dead, it's just the reason they're dead is because the Derp State took them out and made them look like car accidents!

He's like the "Spongebob-as-Quickster" meme:

Wanna see me pump and dump crypto?

...Wanna see me do it again?

Oh wait, RFK Jr must have been off somewhere collecting roadkill.

Nah, he was in court arguing why he should be taken off the ballot in red states while also arguing why he should remain on the ballot in blue states. Cause you know, he's totally not a spoiler candidate.

Because corporate logos are intentionally designed to evoke the brand they represent?

Remember what Gen. Patton said and why they capped him.

Oh for fuck's sake, we're doing Patton conspiracy theories now!? He died from injuries sustained from smashing his head in a car accident, you weird Nazi!

Congress (back when it was functional- you know, when the Dems were in control) passed a law codifying the VP's role in elections is only to certify the results. So in theory she wouldn't be able to question it the way Pence could have (though as I understand it, even the idea that Pence could have delayed cert was on shaky legal ground, but at least now that ground has been completely knocked out).

Ethically, you'd expect that since the VP is running for President that she'd step aside of the process and let the President Pro-Tem handle it (unlike Georgia's current governor, who was secretary of state and refused to recuse himself from his own election) though I don't think there is any legal requirement for her to do so.

If Texas turns blue, the 2020 post-election period is going to look like rainbows compared to what the GOP will do this year.

Maybe if all those sinful woke communist homosexuals would leave Florida, God wouldn't have to keep sending hurricanes to punish all the good God-fearing patriots for tolerating their iniquities! /s

While I'm firmly in the "The Ataris' cover was better than Henley's version" camp, and I get the punk/Black Flag connection for this particular comparison, I feel that in general the original gets the point across better. I think more people would have gotten the dissonance of a Caddy driver with a Grateful Dead sticker when the original was recorded, versus the cover.

You know that line from Don Henley's song "Boys of Summer" that went:

Out on the road today
I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac

That's this guy.

That's because the OG visionaries of tech are gone, and have been replaced by MBAs and techbros.

I'm not sure if Firefox pulls passwords when you import your data, but you can manually export passwords from Chrome and import them into Firefox.

We need to add a fourth E:

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, Enshittify.

Look bud, we only control the weather, not "near-earth objects"!

I mean, if you could control the weather, why not make a Mar-a-Lago sized hurricane?

She seems the type to think all the lanes belong to her and fuck you, get out of her way!
