...isn't your card one basket full of your eggs?

Wild guess: people would try to use intermediate to avoid burning a set of softs or something goofy like that.

He shot at cops, tried to run them over, and tried to blow up some gas tanks.

There is no redeeming quality for this nut job.

Because while it's a funny thought, the dude thought he was above the law and attempted to hurt people.

There's a reason regulations exist, especially for things like sewage. We live in a society, and he wasn't special. Luckily he only took himself out.

There wasn't anything resembling influencers, and mostly you were talking to other nerds.

People were much more technically savvy, and creating their own homepages with guestbooks and construction gifs.

Every time I hear or see about Esteban Ocon he is either getting into it with a teammate, or holding up someone faster with good traction out of a braking zone. I will not miss him.

Just not in a measurable way.

The plural for anecdote is not "data."

He sold it into PayPal, then bought it back from PayPal a couple years ago.

Not sure how trademarks work, but I think it gets stickier when it's used for different purposes. like how there's Starcraft trailers and the game.

You only need the screen to operate a Tesla on any model without stalks.

I've never tried to open the frunk with voice commands, but it probably works.

It's a giga-stupid post, barely worth refuting, but private jets are not cars.

You can track every flight I've ever been on, if you know the flight number, or plane ID. Now billionaires have their own special carve out.

No, because they normalize and have a relative metric.

The most stolen car is an SRT hellcat, which has a total production run well under Model 3 production in a single quarter.

Bezos owns it, they don't need to make money, just keep up their status.

Teslas are at or very near the bottom of often stolen car lists, by a wide margin.

I'm all for keeping the CIA accountable, but you're conflating two things there.

There are many quite loud alerts when FSD is active in subpar circumstances about how it is degraded, and the car will slow down. That video was pretty foggy, I'd say the dude wasn't paying attention.

I came up on a train Sunday evening in the dark, which I hadn't had happen in FSD, so I decided to just hit the brakes. It saw the crossing arms as blinking stoplights, probably wouldn't have stopped?

Either way that dude was definitely not paying attention.

That secure shoelace knot was an actual game changer. Shit just works.

I don't mind a cover changing the meaning of a song, but stuff where the cover is just the song again is...lazy as fuck?

Like Fast Car by (country music guy) is fantastic, but it's the same as the original, which is also fantastic. Feels cheap or something, I don't know. Like the whole Weezer cover album was boring as fuck. The songs are technically great, but why listen to that over the originals? Rivers said his goal was to try and reproduce the original sound, which seems like an interesting exercise for the band, but not for the listener. So that wraps back around to respecting the band.

Anyways, I have a lot of strong feelings about covers. Make it your own, even if you don't change it that much.

Netflix is a public company, you can just go look at how wrong you are about this.

They took in $9.3 billion in Q1 2024, and spent $702 million on "technology" and $3.7 billion on adding "content assets"

Their net profit was $2.3 billion, for one quarter. They could afford to just charge less money, but the line must go up.

Oh no, Grandma's bitlocker will be vulnerable when the attacker gets physical access to her machine!

I saw this headline and immediately thought "ArmouryCrate is the reason"

I certainly avoid ASUS stuff after discovering that piece of nonsense on my new install.
