> the juggler of notre dame

thank you but in all versions of that story a statue of Mary comes to life and does weird shit. Nothing like that happens in this story. I think its more grounded and more about human interactions. That story is very very catholic, the one I am thinking about really isn't.

But I appreciate the effort!

what exactly do you mean by "virtue signaling"?

I know what the phrase means but what in BBC programming do you think is virtue signaling?

Reply to Not only has my 1985 Sharp VZ2000 survived the death of albums and cassettes, it now bears witness to their revival again nearly 40 years later. Yes, that’s an album, not a 45. These boomboxes are still highly collectible and there is a whole new aftermarket of repair parts to ensure their survival. by sparksofthetempest

The birds fly in flocks of 2 million or more and in such tightly synchronized masses they can be mistaken at a distance for clouds of smoke. Single colonies can cover hundreds of acres, totaling tens of millions of birds. by Bluest_waters

He was obsessed, nearly a mad man, but he wasn't evil. He truly believed in what he was doing, he was not malicious. He just didn't understand how his obsession would turn out all wrong.

Yes those rom coms. They have a totally different vibe. No room for dry one line zingers or Ford just being grumpy and direct.

Reply to comment by dont-YOLO-ragequit in GM Dealers Have Been Quietly Repairing Teslas by LunacyNow

Tesla's secret is that it thrives on selling billions of dollars worth of carbon credits to major auto makers. Tesla is happy because they get money, the auto makers are happy because they don't have to actually produce large amounts of EV. Some years the money Tesla makes off the carbon credits represent nearly their entire profit.

So GM is quietly fixing Tesla in part because it wants Tesla to keep doing what its doing.

Problem for Tesla is that more and more major auto makers have EVs coming online and they expect their EV sales to jump. That means less demand for carbon credits, which means lower profits for Tesla. Plus Elon is going to be forced to contineu to sell Tesla stock to service his twitter debts for the foreseeable future. Both of these things will be putting downward pressure on Tesla stock months, possibly years, to come.
