One thing that was an adjustment in Germany is that if there is a law, it is actually obeyed. Sign drops speed limit from grey 130 to a black 120 and everyone is going 120 or less when they get to the sign. Nobody seems to be going 122 even.

130km/h doesn’t seem all that fast after the early days of the pandemic! The Mass turnpike regularly flowed at 95mph/150kmh with the speeders doing about 110mph/180kmh+

I’ve spent a couple months in Germany. One of the big things that Germans get that Americans don’t is the idea of being an adult.

The fact that this is parked at a Community Center is especially insidious....

Looking at the map and based upon this population count, there’s no reason the county sheriff’s office can’t handle all policing needs of this “town.”

This pretty much says it all. Remember, this is a town with fewer than 1,500 residents.

When the survival of a municipality depends on pilfering its own citizens through traffic stops, code violations and the like, it is a sign that it is time to fold operations become unincorporated. I’d be willing to bet the majority of the budget goes to paying salaries and there are crumbs left for anything else.

Option A: vote him out

There’s a 400 MHz gap between the 5G C-band frequencies being rolled-out (3.6-3.8 GHz) and the airlines’ altimeters (4.2-4.4 GHz), which is more than double what the airlines originally requested. If altimeters are running so far out of their registered range then the issue is with the airlines and not 5G.

It’s not because of “5G. ” It’s because radio frequencies the US FCC has sold to commercial operators for 5G use are too close to radio frequencies used in aviation, so there could be interference. Other countries presumably haven’t sold radio frequencies to commercial operators so close to radio frequencies used for…

This is all utter and complete horseshit.

That’s what stuck out to me too!

Going ~621,000 miles on the last battery pack is fairly impressive, if you ask me, and shows the evolution of Tesla’s battery pack as they get more long-term data back.

Add that to MMG’s list above:

No problem in a car will ever sort itself out. That strange noise you heard for a few days now suddenly stopped? You bet your ass something that was at the breaking point did just that, and the problem is now worse.

What are their current vehicles, and can you give me their number?

Perhaps a knock off made of materials that can be powerwashed.

As much as Tesla wishes it was something more, “FSD” is still Level 2. All the documents and instructions related to the beta test program very clearly state that constant supervision is required.

The pay it forward thing has always been the dumbest thing imaginable. It’s performative charity for people who don’t need it. Want to feel good? Donate time or money to an actual cause. Or, as this article wisely suggests, tip the workers.

The real trick is not letting it dip below 50 mph.
