Yeah something like that. I didn’t look at the image’s resolution, but it’ll take 125 million years or so, to get to the opposite side of the galaxy.

Well if you zoom in, it moves a lot. But at this rendering’s scale, not so much.

Takes about 250 million years for our Sun to orbit the galaxy.

One of the best parts from Spaced (Simon Pegg & Jessica Stevenson’s season show from the early 2000s).

Billionaires can just make a coupon thousand shell orgs to funnel $100ks into their pockets.

As long as you aren’t working to oppress LGBT+ folks while you’re thinking about it, we’re cool.

And even though the whole thing is rotating, that arrow won’t move for your entire lifetime.

Gay sex is on those conservative minds every month. Probably most minutes as well.

Probably best not to be running on autopilot around North Fucking Koreans though.

We’re all FBI agents on this blessed day.

Fuck Knight? Yes, it is. ;)

Anyone carrying a gun in a holster should be required have sufficient training to use the safety properly.

It gives you more time to think before killing something and also protects you from someone grabbing the gun or someone else mishandling your gun if it leaves your possession.

I don’t think that includes things like the Amazon delivery vans that Rivian produces. Since they aren’t really sold in the same way.

I think that has been a big part of their revenue/investment so far.

From mid 2023:

On Tuesday evening, the company issued its second-quarter earnings report, which showed that gross loss per unit delivered between April 1 and June 30 came out to $32,595. That’s an improvement over the first quarter’s loss of $67,329 per delivered vehicle, and a huge gain over the same period a year ago, where per-unit losses were as high as $157,600.

Competitors in the EV space have been slashing prices this summer in an ongoing price war, but Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe said on the company’s earnings call Tuesday that Rivian wouldn’t be following suit, citing “continued strong demand.”

In fact, Rivian has increased its total production guidance for 2023 to 52,000 vehicles from 50,000.3 Last month, Rivian shares surged after beating out analyst expectations for second-quarter delivery numbers. In April, CFO Claire McDonough said the company would turn a profit in the final quarter of 2024.

For comparison, gross profit per delivered unit for the second quarter of 2023 sits at around $9,700 for Tesla Inc. (TSLA), a more mature EV company.5 For fellow EV up-and-comer Lucid Group Inc. (LCID), gross losses per unit came out to nearly $138,900 over the same period.
