2025 Tesla Cybertruck: Regular Car Reviews YouTube video by Regular Car Reviews

This is an 18 minute and 37 second brutal takedown and non-stop zinger-fest of a video disguised as a car review, and I'm totally here for it. I loved every moment, and nearly spat out my drink more then a couple of times. Enjoy!

It’d be awful if Canadians pointed out the Tesla cars had the worst LED headlight focusing

Say waaat! Radiofrequency gene control - now a reality. Get your tinfoil hats ready.

I will always find it confusing that some people think a person riding a $2000 bike to commute is a privileged elitist but the guy in the $80k truck that costs $150 to fill is the working class average joe.

Yeah, that's bad. Dumb populism.

Think about it this way: If you had a pot of cash to hand out, who would you send it to? I'm guessing you wouldn't say: “Folks who drive a lot are obviously the neediest; that's who deserves my cash.. Also, I would love to subsidize reliance on foreign oil.”

Péter Magyar, who unseated Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Sunday in a landslide, shared a bombshell with reporters that the outgoing leader had diverted taxpayer funds to bankroll the American Conservative Political Action Conference. trib.al/ct7GGV3

"Canadian visits to the US are down 35%...dealing a massive, sustained economic blow to the US economy that shows no sign of reversing in 2026"

“In my 37 years in the travel industry, I have never seen anything like what the Canadians have pulled off"

Don't construct a talk to show how smart you are or how much work you've done. No one else cares about that.

If you're worried your poster or talk is too simple, remove one or two more figures and you'll be alright.

Hungarians showing how to win big in an unfair election: organize AND protest AND vote AND demand profound change.

No one who wants to become Chair should ever be allowed to become Chair, and that is the heart of the problem.

A "750g" bag of semolina that weighs 620g.

You have got to be kidding me.

My blockade trumps your blockade. What a farce

Fraud accusations fly as Hungarians vote in contentious election Parties are already gearing up for a confrontation once the results come in, with experts warning the outcome could be challenged in court no matter who wins.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's camp and the opposition are accusing each other of electoral fraud as both sides gear up for a potential clash over the results of today's crucial election.

Instead of cuts, if Carney was smart he'd invest $500 million in mRNA research in Canada, propelling us into a leading position in medical research.

please, more use of science for good stuff rather than war

Why can the Squamish Nation build what no one else in Vancouver can? The answer starts with a 1913 land theft, a decades-long lawsuit, and a housing crisis hiding in plain sight. thewalrus.ca/the-squamish-nations-imp...

It’s brutal in academia right now. A lot is out of our control, but it doesn’t cost anything to remember that there are humans behind papers and grants…reviewers, program officials and funders can be more empathetic in the face of unprecedented chaos in the US scientific enterprise.

Two identical pictures of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. The first has text: "Shares feel good zoom call with Canadian astronaut as public relations exercise." The second has different text: "Cut's funding for Canadian Space Agency by 32.6%"

A lot of Canucks feel pride at a Canadian astronaut on a moon mission. The Carney government is milking this opportunity to associate itself with those good feelings while cutting nearly a third of all funding for Canada's space agency.
