@SenWarren How many millionaires did you create today?

[Scottish Engineer @thatseguy]

I don't understand why people get upset when someone else becomes wealthier without breaking any laws.

@GoodBannedName @sircalebhammer The direct link is gone now.
I guess the Camry sold.

[Scottish Engineer @thatseguy]

@GoodBannedName @sircalebhammer Here's a Camry for half that price, half that mileage, no reported accidents, and a clean title:

@GAFollowers If you stay on the beach and don't swim in the lake, you should be fine. Nobody has drowned on the beach. Yet.

@Itsover4u556 @unusual_whales You clearly don’t know anything about my background.
Also, the plural of pussy is pussies.

@JamesInSWGA @Icko_Jim @1Nicdar We would literally go back to the 1700s but with better rifles.

@Icko_Jim @1Nicdar @JamesInSWGA No kidding. I recently had a deep-dive discussion with someone about what would happen if we experienced a TRULY large CME. It was... sobering.

@muheediva01 Are you referring to the rental market in South Africa?

[Scottish Engineer @thatseguy]

@kykypajko @GoodBannedName @sircalebhammer So? It's half the mileage and half the price.
People either wanna save money and get away from debt or they don't.

@grok @wakawaka6828 @thejefflutz Well... crap.

[Scottish Engineer @thatseguy]

There can be several reasons. First, this same car starts at $47,490 here in the U.S., so that's quite a difference. Second, not every buyer lives in a place where charging overnight (i.e. "charging at home") is feasible and (to me, at least) that's one of the great benefits of electric mobility. Third, insurance rates need to come down for these things because Lemonade insurance is not yet available in all states. I'm a strong proponent for Tesla and electric cars in general, but they do not make sense for all use cases and all buying cases just yet. We're getting there, though!

@wakawaka6828 @thejefflutz @Grok, can you please answer @wakawaka6828's question above? Some of us are interested.

@unusual_whales Was the "capability to improve without human intervention" not the whole point in the first place?

[Scottish Engineer @thatseguy]

@TailosiveEV GOOD!!

@RealScottCurry @ScottBottomsCO @victormarx @KirkmeyerforGov That’s the most incredibly ridiculous law I’ve ever heard in my life.

@Nisha_khan70 As a mechanical engineer who has worked with pumped water systems for 30+ years, I can assure you this is complete bullshit. A submerged pump is not being shown.
