Just start leaving hot dogs and Italian beefs laying around.

Literally just realized this is why I always invert.

Look at the robo taxi situation they have going. The same tech that is stopping people off in the middle of the road is what is being used for FSD.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we found out that the whole thing is a scam and there is some sweat shop full of teenagers remotely driving cars. I feel like the random stops where they shouldn’t stop is exactly how someone who learns how to drive playing GTA would drive.

I just want to be able to run down the street to buy a pack of overpriced unmarked capacitors anytime I need.

In some ways that is the answer. Crashes keep happening because they are not being held accountable to regulators because they are not reporting these incidents and no one is exercising oversight to be sure the reporting matches reality.

I think over the years, accurate reporting by manufacturers has been done because they generally do not want to be known as that car company that killed a child and it could have been prevented with a 50 cent bolt. As a result, regulators have been less hawkish. Of course there are probably political donations in the US to help keep the wheels turning.

I’ve come to the realization, at least where I live, that a hell of a lot of accidents are prevented because of drivers who are actually aware and safe. This goes a bit beyond defensive driving IMO. I’m talking flat out accident avoidable. There is an entire class of drivers who are not even aware of the accidents they have almost caused because someone else managed to avoid their stupid driving.

The majority of accidents that are likely to happen with these robocoffins will be single car or robocoffin meets robocoffin. The numbers on safety after a year will be acceptable because non accident causing error prone driving is not reported in any official capacity.

I still maintain that the only safe way to have autonomous vehicles on the road is if they do not share the road with human drivers and have an open standard for communicating with other autonomous cars.

Can’t wait to see how well it works to glue armored panels on.

Levi’s 569 are my jam

Yes, but when I saw her I thought “yeah I’d have fun with her” not “my god look at that tall rough barked tree over there, wonder if there are any good holes”

I wouldn’t think of him as a dendrophile.

This is how we save the USPS.

Something that has been bothering me lately. Reasonable people who counter the toxic misinformation leaving the platform only allows the disease to grow and spread. But reality is they weren’t reaching the people that needed the dose of reality anyway. And then I realized that the algorithms have always been the disease, my feeds are my own echo chamber to drive engagement, just as theirs are. I’ve pretty much cut all social networks out. The only way to change minds is honest respectable conversation, and I am not a person to change anyone’s mind.

We’re fucked

And if the only people willing to work for the tyrant only kids the ring, it will take a long while for someone to stop his worse actions, if anyone ever does.

I don’t believe in heros, they were just brave enough or dumb enough and in the right place to do some good. And that might actually describe this guy. But still just a flawed person.

I absolutely disagree with much of what Liz Cheney supports, but I’ll still give her props for serving on the J6 committee knowing what it could mean for her career.

A crack house at least has a sustainable economy, a purpose, and a business model. The US is more like a lemonade stand set up by a 4yo who made lemonade by picking grass and mixing it with hose water

Subscription based navigation? Want to use your car’s navigation system, there’s a fee for that? Want to fly a drone, that’ll be 9.99/month. Hopefully there will be a carve out for emergency systems.

This will also allow Tesla to up their traffic game. If everyone is using the Starlink GPS for navigation they’ll have all the data.

I did this 3 years in a row sword fighting with sticks all 3 times.

I’m guessing you had to actually grow up and care for your own needs and figure out how to navigate the real world.

This emerald-spoon fed motherfucker has never had to do a thing for himself. The most significant things he learned after preschool was likely reading and writing.

Yes they do and I do add my own tech but my experience with some of these devices has not been great.

I have LG TVs which I connected to the network and have been updated over the years to have really bad UX and are now polluted with ads.

I had an LG sound bar that was great for a while until it completely stopped working. Powers on, all functions seem to work, just no sound. Originally it worked as a Chromecast device too, but they stopped doing updates and Google stopped working with the old API.

My fear is that eventually there will be an update that bricks a device. Now I’ve taken them off the network, but how long before we have TVs that require Internet to even function.

These smart TVs have a lot more hardware and software than they need which means a lot more to break.

Miss the days when you could buy a dumb TV and add the tech you wanted.

Best summer smell. The smell of quality cow flesh slowly cooking over an open flame is one of the best.
