it would've definitely been cheaper to do flyover ped bridges with moving walkways or go-karts or whatever

tunnels are expensive as hell, even the muskman's halfassed garbage


never forget that he only "got into" subterranean construction because he "couldn't figure out" the ramps for double decker highways

every airport has goddamn trains that go in a loop (or a shuttle) between points about that distance. disney even built a linear-induction system based on the tomorrowland goddamn peoplemover for shuttling people between terminals at the big airport in houston. this is not a hard problem and it does not require individual passenger cars being driven by hand through a tunnel.

that's kinda the whole thing. car was totally dead, i had a 12v lithium battery from a model airplane, it wasn't powerful enough to spin the starter but it did run the fuel pump and turn on the ECU so i was able to push-start it.


also lol staying the night at harris ranch. it's a giant feedlot that stinks like manure. and not healthy cows in pastures manure, rotting feedlot death manure.

there is a tiny airstrip beside it that i've flown into and you can smell the place from ten miles and six thousand feet

electroboom on YouTube did this with a bunch of D cell batteries in series didn’t he

And then a big block of capacitors glued together which started the car and promptly burned up

the entire company, from top to bottom, is one giant red flag waving majestically in the breeze.

some day something will happen that will sink them and there will be months of articles in the business press vacillating between "no one could have known" and "insider account of the tragic circus fire that raged for more than a decade"

I’m reading that Enron book atm and a repeated point was that the red flags were visible from orbit for a decade but nobody with the ability to derail the gravy train wanted to do it because they all made astronomical amounts of money off it

Weird how that works

it is always the same... it's completely clear, but it takes something that on the surface seems inconsequential but just open the floodgates.

consider the opening of enron was just Bethany McClean literally just asking "how does enron actually make money?"

financial crises also helps to showcase who have been in the sea naked and everyone now sees their small dillz....

another tesla blew up, this one brand new

https://electrek.co/2021/06/30/tesla-model-s-plaid-caught-fire-strange-circumstances/



“Gladwyne Firefighters responding to the 100 block of Rose Lane last night just before 9pm to assist Station 25 (Merion Fire Company of Ardmore) with a vehicle fire. While enroute to the call Chief 25 was advised that the reports were that a Tesla was on fire and it was well involved in fire. Engine 24 with a crew of 7 arrived on scene simultaneously with Engine 25. Due to prior training classes on Tesla Vehicle Fire emergencies, Engine 24 laid a 5 inch supply line into the scene so that we could keep a continual water stream on the fire to extinguish the fire and cool the batteries down to ensure complete extinguishment. Engine 24 and Engine 25 both deployed hand lines to extinguish the fire, each maintained a dedicated water source and continued to cool the vehicle down for almost 90 minutes.”
