I’m (barely) old enough to remember when cable television was touted and sold as “ad free.”

I’m also old enough to remember when satellite radio was touted and sold as “as free.”

There was a day, not too long ago, where I’d seriously considered buying a Tesla. And I nearly did.

As of today, I for one will never buy a single Tesla product - not a car, not a truck, not a battery, not a robot, whatever - for as long as I live.

And no decision from Tesla leadership will change my mind at this point. Fuck them.

Even if that makes me a crazy old man 30-40 years from now when all this is in the past. Never means never.

Yeah, but these kids spend the majority of their time on phones and tablets, not PCs, and many of ’em don’t even really know what a “file” or “folder” is. Everything just does its cloud save thing.

As a chronic procrastinator, I ain’t doing shit.
