Great, now you just made having partisan issues a partisan issue.

Do you want people who think they are their god’s chosen? Because this is how you get people who think they are their god’s chosen…

I see these countries building their trade with counties other than the US as the only good part of Trump’s tarrif tantrums. Less reliance on the US is better for everyone, even the US. Because it will force us (I am American) to have to participate globally without the strong arming bullshit we have always relied upon. It will force us to actually work with others.

Had a friend with this problem. All she could come up with was changing her wardrobe to reduce the appearance of youth. But as others said, date who you want. No matter how you look or who you date there will be judgemental eyes that should be rightfully ignored.

Is Lincoln, NE on the healthiest list because their football team accounts for 47% of the total population?

The issue is not so simple. Blocking BYD has a lot to do with protecting American manufacturing jobs. That’s not to say Biden’s tariff was the right answer. But it is a more complicated problem to solve than it appears from the perspective of a single car buyer.

So… AI.

Back in 1997 I worked overnight at a bank running their backup software. Lots of sitting around being bored. I took it upon myself to change the Windows 95 startup logo to say Windows 96 on a number of computers. Someone out there remembers Windows 96.

The News: where should I start?

Wasn’t this the same justification that America used to send factory jobs overseas? I feel repeating verbatim what the US has stated is the ultimate sign of respect.

It isn’t a matter of which is better - you use both, and more.

To be fair, the LiDAR was primarily used for parking. Still a stupid decision to remove it. There were plenty of values it provides…but those cars were never going to drive themselves even if they did have LiDAR.

Might I suggest you use the time machine you created to go back and talk yourself out of making the climate change reversal machine. I can think of nothing worse than for you to feel like you are stupid.

The problem with this way of thinking is that there are solutions to eliminate accidents even without eliminating self-driving cars. By dismissing the concern you are saying nothing more than it isn’t worth exploring the kinds of improvements that will save lives.

Correction - Older Teslas had lidar, Musk demanded they be removed because they cut into his profits. Not a huge difference but it does show how much of a shitbag he is.

low visibility, including sun glare, fog and airborne dust

I also see a ton of accidents when the sun is in the sky or if it is dusty out. \s

Overlooking the concept of a failsafe? How did they get past the concept of the subscription model?

so they fired them all

Even fictional evil companies need to meet goals set by the board.

Did the lady have 5 kids to feed?
