Cybertruck Breaks Down 35 Miles After Delivery, Tesla Says Coolant Leaks Not Covered

Good lord, reading some of the comments on this article made me lose braincells. Musk sure is owning the marxist libs with these fucking leaky refrigerators on wheels.

Idk, something just irks the hell out of me when people are like "50% battery is actually good bro, it's the perfect storage level for lithium bro". It's not in storage anymore, it's being delivered.

ICE cars are shipped with a quarter tank or less, but they are never delivered without close to a full tank. The fact that the Tesla dealer didn't spend the $1 of electricity or the half hour washing it down is just plain rude. And yet, people are still defending this shit as if being abused by big daddy musk is their life's greatest goal. Absolutely mind boggling.

it's real and if it didn't already look dystopian enough, everything is oil themed for some fucking reason.

I believe it was built for the world cup but wasn't finished in time, yet another $200+ million wasted in the desert.

noodle rule

Lazy straining can make your pasta taste way better, it just takes a little extra time.

First; undercook your pasta, you'll want it barely soft on the outside and still kinda crunchy otherwise it will overcook into mush. Second; drain your pasta but leave about 2/3 cup of water in the bottom of the pot. Third; add a generous amount of butter to the water and pasta and place back in the stove at medium-high heat. Also a good time to add salt/pepper/seasoning. Fourth; stir until water boils off completely. This is going to create a butter sauce as the starch in the pasta water combines with the melted butter. It will stick much better to the pasta and doesn't leave your pot all greasy from the butter.

It makes the best goddamn buttered noodles but also works well for any jarred/pre-prepped sauce, just add it in the mix towards the end so you still only have one pot to clean.

Billionaire Jack Ma tried to behave like Elon Musk. He lost his fortune after publically mocking Chinese regulators. Now he is just a small millionaire and was spotted riding a bike.

Bromton bikes cost around $1.5k minimum, some can go for over $6k. That bike costs more than my custom road bike, and he could absolutely afford a taxi or a used car if he wanted.

Not defending the CCP, but this title just makes no fucking sense. Like is 'small millionaire' supposed to make him sound poor? He still has more money than 99% of the population, am I supposed to feel bad he no longer has more money than 99.999%?

Doesn't Harry convince the sorting hat not to put him in slytherin? I forgot exactly how the scene goes but the hat says slytherin would help him but harry is vehemently against it. I thought it was that act of bravery that led him to be put into griffindor.

I could be wrong though, I also haven't read the books in a long time.

Prusa partners with Israeli company

Obviously fuck Israel but I have a bit of a different gripe with this thing.

I got into 3d printing to reduce waste, mainly to repair old stuff but plastic waste is still something I try and reduce as much as possible. This toolhead is a plastic wasting machine, not a printing one. I cannot for the life of me justify buying not one but two long thin tubes of liquid only to split the tube in half and only use the goo inside. And then they have the audacity to charge fucking $1100 for it. The XL is already overpriced for it's performance, this is just adding insult to injury.

okay... and? This still makes it look a whole lot like trump and his buddies were very well intertwined with a convicted sex trafficker long after his depravity was revealed. It's a lot less funny if trump didn't blow clinton but that would be the least disgusting thing he did on the island.

Check out my future vape

I'm not a snob, I'll spark up with the homies from time to time, but my god are flower vapes far superior to burning. I will never go back to smoking as my main, it's just worse in almost every way.

I don't care how crazy they look, my funky doohickeys keep my taste buds and lungs safe.
