Father and husband, the things that matter. Otherwise a data engineer by trade, but really just a replaceable cog in a corporate machine…the things that don’t matter outside of supporting what does.

I saw Dumb Money yesterday and it was a bit surreal watching a movie about something you experienced yourself. It's interesting how Plotkin is the 1% class but still isn't the 1% of the 1%. Like the review says, he's not even aware of his own privilege.

What does this do to repairs if the car is in an accident and there is damage to the cast part? It seems like it couldn't be replaced and, anecdotally, ive heard that frame damage is almost impossible to repair completely. Am I missing something (admittedly I'm not mechanic or car expert)?
Tesla wants to die-cast nearly the entire underbody as one piece versus the 400 parts of a conventional car.
Tesla reportedly wants to ‘gigacast’ a car’s underbody in just one piece
A Reuters report says that the automaker is pursuing a way to "gigacast" the underbody of a vehicle in one piece, but questions remain.
