The assets of the acquired company are often used as collateral for the financing
This is so dumb.
“I want to buy That Car, can you give me money? I have… nothing.”
“But if you have nothing, how can we expect you to ever pay back That Car?”
“Well, after buying That Car, I will have a net worth of That Car, so paying you back obviously will be trivial using ownership of That Car.”
“Sounds like we have a deal!”
Well, none of what you say is wrong. It’s just not the point. There were other options besides tesla - and while they were different (e.g. I’m well aware of the small golf battery), they were there.
You say that for you it was the only decent option. Fine. But not the point. Maybe your usage profile warranted what tesla offered. But “Tesla was the only player in the EV scene back then” is just wrong. That’s all I said.
That’s literally their point?
Regular cars are capable of lasting until they literally break down and die.
These don’t exist anymore. If they do, it doesn’t matter if they move by burning fossils or electricity. It’s not a matter of EVs being movable smart devices that will be left behind eventually, it’s a matter of cars being like that.
I’m pretty sure Tesla was the only player in the EV scene back then.
Absolutely not.
I bought a BEV back then. It was a VW Golf. Still driving it. The leaf, eNiro and i3 were contenders for me.
Storage space for all the stuff they need to rearrange floor. Obviously. Duh.
There, I think you lost this: \
Seems considerate? “We didn’t want to annoy you with photos of something you despise so we created a separate channel to do just that but nothing else.”
Depends. Does that include monkey business?
Either that or Harvard’s curriculum is pretty extensive.
It’s times like these when I wish I could just block an instance that isn’t defederated from mine.
Holy crap, people really don’t get your joke it seems. Guess my upvote can only give so much relief, but I thought it was funny if that helps.
I think they just meant “chemicals” in the sense of “chemical element”, as in “to last forever, it must be made of something that lasts forever, and everything is made from chemical elements, so this must contain ‘forever chemicals’”. It was just a joke… And the PFAS statement that followed made it pretty clear that they know what they were talking about.

I love how I went back to the first panel and the wizard was already there, of course.
(I don’t identify as much with my body as some other people apparently do. It’s the only flesh I have ever been incarnated in so it has a lot of sentimental value but it fundamentally isn’t me. It’s a thing that I have.)
Yeah, but what happens to you if that thing breaks? ☹️
Which is why you need insurance if you buy That Car on a loan. So there’s somebody else who will pay back the loan if you fuck up That Car.
If That Car is worth a hundred billion dollars, suddenly that very important aspect just seems to vanish and you can just buy That Car with itself without any further securities.
