    I’m fully in favor of banning not only Chinese vehicles, but ALL Chinese products of all kinds. Chinese cars are gonna be full of asbestos and lead, sitting in a Chinese car will give you genital cancer. If Canada imports them, I say mine the 49th parallel. Shoot anyone attempting to bring one into the country right in the children.

    Suppose my reaction to that is &quot;Really? No known cases of schizophrenia among those blind since birth? They should study that.&quot;

    For the average price of a car in the US I could buy five cars in the US. They&#39;re going to be shitboxen, but there&#39;ll be five of them.

    I ripped my DVD collection a couple years ago, and I watched that change over time happen. The earlier DVDs in my collection came in bespoke packaging designed specifically for the film, they had properly interactive menus complete with easter eggs, commentary tracks, alternate angles, remember when DVD player remotes had an &quot;Angle&quot; button? DVD was a prestige format, it was actually as cool as LaserDisc was supposed to be. There was the early mass market phase when older movies, or...

    I think my favorite single moment, a personal anecdote, relating to video game manuals is from Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego for Windows 95. Which came with a full copy of the 1995 World Almanac. I was about 8 or 9 at the time. One of the clues was &quot;I heard he was leaving Lesotho by car.&quot; I went, &quot;Wait, is that the little nation in the middle of South Africa?&quot; I looked it up in the book, it was, and I won that round of the game based on that clue. I think my ove...

    I couldn&#39;t solve all the world&#39;s problems if I was given this power, but it would make people who are damaged in the same way I am laugh for a couple months out of the year.

    Nnnnnn...that line &quot;I say &#39;your civilization&#39; because when we started thinking for you it became &#39;our civilization&#39; which is really what this is all about&quot; hits different in 2026. In 1999 it came across as generic movie villain drivel, now it&#39;s headline news.

    I think there&#39;s also a problem with the kinds of EVs everyone tried to sell. Tesla has seen legitimate success in making EVs a desirable luxury item. The Prius became something of a fashion statement among kale chip eating Californians in the 2000s because of its alleged economy, but it was still an economy car. It wasn&#39;t that nice or luxurious. Tesla made cars people wanted to drive and be seen driving, with an all-electric powertrain. Pretty much everyone tried to copy that busine...
