It’s good to see that Aptera is still a possibility!

If they can base their business on stealing, then we can steal their AI services, right?

Yeah, and even that’s stretching the term “conscious”.

Since most of the hydrogen currently available commercially is from oil production, maybe “eco-greenwashing” would be more accurate.

Funny picture!

But GS cookies are pretty awful. They’re full of sugar and palm oil. Maybe if they offered something that’s actually good for us, and the world, they’d sell more?
