Yeah well, Mexico is #1 on this list. I don't even see the US on the list.

Yeah I can't do anything above 22 degrees or below -22 degrees. I mean its right there in the name.

why we aren’t more open to separating the work from the artist

Because we shouldn't?

We shouldn't support pieces of shit. Not with our eyes. Not with our ears. Not with our dollars or our attention. Its not like there aren't hundreds of thousands of other hilarious people who aren't pieces of shit. Its not like we don't have literally PLENTY of other options.

Brazil is in the conversations. Mainly for professional reasons and because they do still invest in the kinds of science that my partner and I do, and I have many colleagues there and some family near Rio.

The other is Tahiti, because I've got a pretty substantial Vanilla production operation going at this point, which was kind-of the entire point of why I moved to where I did. I also have access to EU citizenship through my mother, and I as far as a visa to live and work in the country, I think that part should be straight forwards since its basically France. My partner and I also have some connections to the university, University of French Polynesia. My partner has also previously worked for CNRS in Toulouse, although briefly. Buying land might be out of reach because its ridiculously expensive, but I can imagine various ways of making it happen.

We're seriously considering some option at this point, but its very tough because we moved to where we live because this is where we wanted to live. We've also got a wide range of "things" going on that are difficult, but not impossible, to disentangle ourselves from.

Ugh, I wish this guy wasn't so problematic. I really did enjoy his off hand type of humor.

I don’t Mexico to sell chocolate

Well I do Mexico to sell chocolate.

Comedy aside, I think its to address the extraordinary obesity issues that Mexico has faced in the past 20 years. Mexico is in my top 2 of countries I'm moving to as the US collapses, but they have real issues with refined foods and especially added sugar.

The bigger issue I see is that it also results in less experienced coders creating code that might work, but that they don't understand.

Where all the sleeper fatties at?

i wouldn't confuse Nikola with canoo.

Canoo actually got to having a vehicle, and it was at a very reasonable price point and was a very compelling vehicle.

I think the real issue they hit was that they didn't look like a 100:1 return in investment, and for predatory capitol, thats all they'll fund. I think they found themselves needing funds exactly when inflation was going nuts.

I mean at the end of the day these are car manufacturers. it's a shit ton of work to design and engineer and the produce a car. And they can't be that expensive or people just don't buy them. So the margins are kinda crap.

I mean this is kind of the entire point of why a criminal justice system needs to exist in good faith.

there is only one joke we have to share it

So I lived out of something like this for a bit:

and what I love about that era of micro vans is the visibility. I feel like cannoo reall'got' what it was that made those vans so special, and it's that when you are travelling, you can see everything and it feels like you are really on tour.

I was really bummed they went out of business.

This is basically giving the greenlight to start using actual violent tactics protest.

ftfy.

I figuratively can't even.

If protest is going to be treated as a violent tactic, this puts a lot of more forms of protest onto the table.

#EverythingIhateIsVoteManipulation

I can too.

This is the van I had a reserve down on before they went bust: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgAghyLo4os

I want visibility. I want to be able to see whats happening in front of me in a vehicle. I don't want a dash sitting on my lap.
