That's also true of ICE (heh) cars. I know modern ones don't need to be warmed up like the old ones did, but they absolutely use more gas in the cold.

It's probably worse for EV's though.

Pikachu face, but with a monocle and cocaine.

I can all but guarantee you team was understaffed, overworked, constantly asked up the chain for time and resources to automate things, and was consistently ignored.

Plus it's Austin, none of the cheap house benefits (unless you're coming from California money), all of the high property tax downsides (and almost of the social benefits of said taxes).

I tried to get chatGPT to solve wordle for me once. The stupid thing can't keep more than half a rule straight at one time.

In the show he was a sociopath with mind control powers, which if you know what he's capable of (as JJ did), could be fairly intimidating.

David Tennant, not so much 😆 (Although he was terrific in that role)

Yeah! Those are also great. If you want ultra quiet, definitely replace the case fans. 32GB if ram is honestly plenty if you're just gaming, so the only other place you could spend $100 is going to be to try and snag an on-sale upgrade for the GPU or CPU.

The car is fine, and honestly the software is too, it's the label that's the problem. It's like if Tesla had invented the first really good cough medicine but named it "Death Cure Resurrection Elixir (and cough preventative)" and they have this mustache twirling clown villain selling it.

I don't blame anyone for completely disregarding it as fraud.

I don't know if Susan b Anthony would be happy about being pardoned, let alone by him.

"Soliciting fees to lobby" is some super human level mental gymnastics. It's called bribery.
