Yup lawyers who take these kinds of cases that are easy wins, do it on contingency. If they don’t think you have a good case they tell you, and then charge you hourly.

That is going to fucking suck. Welcome back to the goddamn 1960s.

What can’t that sort of history repeat? We just keep getting economic crashes, pandemics, and racism.

Yeah, what Tesla says, and what it has are very different.

I suspect Mercedes is being a bit conservative in there implementation, but ultimately realistic by limiting speeds and locations of the service to start.

They also may be limited by laws and insurance available in those locals.

Lincoln’s assassination was a pretty big part of the south getting away with their insurrection.

But the constitution was fucked by the slave drivers from the start. And it ends with our non-representative congress, and presidents elected with a minority of the popular vote.

Sadly it’s more of a production problem than a demand problem. I believe there are 100s of thousands of preorders pending. They are just hard to build to any decent standard. Or apparently impossible to build to even a basic working standard.

Why haven’t you yet? We’re going to as soon as I can afford some solar to offset the power bill.

How many chassis are you on? Or do you live outside the rust belt.

Manna got rampant capitalism + AI pretty close, and has predicted McDonalds payment kiosks, Amazon worker abuse, and probably some of the tech layoffs too.

Helvetica (and it’s clones), not all sans serifs.

DIN has nice little feet on the l, as do:

  • Cabin
  • Cantarell
  • Comfortaa
  • Iwona
  • Kp-Sans
  • PT-Sans
  • MS Trebuchet

Thank you for listening to my Typeface Talk.

Damn, my wife and I were on the fence about which last name to give our son or to hyphenate.

Hers is C mine is R, but if we hyphenated it’d be almost 20 letters long and use every vowel. So we went with my last name from just tradition.

Could pick Obama, or Deval Patrick, or best is really be Stacey Abrams.
