As such, it is currently impossible to speculate on what happened in this incident, apart from what can be seen in the video.

This happened to my Mom when she was about 28. It doesn’t matter how old you are, if you are SURE your foot is on the brake and the car isn’t stopping, you are just going to press HARDER.

Tesla brakes are still hydraulic. There is no mechanism in the vehicles that will disengage the mechanical brake. The systems can apply the brakes and they are returned like every other car. The brakes are powerful enough to overcome the electric motors in the vehicle.

Pedal misapplication.

Not much of a Tesla story here other than the fact they can check really detailed data of the accident so quickly. The are numerous accidents each year where people think they are standing on the brake pedal but the are on the accelerator. Apparently it might happen in Teslas, too. 

It’s probably worth noting what the area in the photo looks like when it’s not in monsoon/insane flood season:

The only thing I disagree with here is that this is in any way a recent phenomenon, as Disneyland has increasingly been an exploitative fleece job that constantly movws away from Walt’s “vision” (and called out as such) for decades. Blackout days, restrictions, price increases, costly add-ons that force you to pay or…

You’re maybe not the compassionate liberal you think you are if you’re fine with calling people “awful c-nts” for disagreeing about a salary.

I mean, she said she wanted $X and they said “That’s too much” and made a counter offer, which she also rejected. At that point they hired Jennifer Hale, and STILL offered Taylor a cameo role for $4000. She rejected that and went scorched earth about it. The director is apparently a huge dick (at least on Twitter, but…

Boy did you just jump to a conclusion. Very athletic. Bravo.

Okay. 66% of $750 an hour is still $495 an hour, which is well above what 99.99% of salaried workers make.

$15k across 4 months is $3750 a month. That’s enough to pay for rent, utilities, food and random expenses for a single person. If you are the sole provider for your entire family, then no, obviously that isn’t enough. But the expectation that you can work for 20 hours and get paid enough to support an entire family…

Most games on the market are covered by the same handful of actors, namely: Nolan North, Jennifer Hale, and Troy Baker.

A quote from William Salyers:

You haven’t looked in 15 years, then. According to Google, it was at its highest in 2007, at around $2 to 1£. Right now, it’s $1.13 to 1£.

Yeah, this one’s definitely on Taylor. She, intentionally or not, led everyone to believe that Platinum/Nintendo were only paying her $4K for all voice work of the main character. According to her latest comments, she got paid 3000£ for the first game, so $15k is actually a nice improvement, I think (even accounting…

Yeah, per bloomberg which latter corroborated by at least 2 other newsgroup.

Based on the report, the later offer was $4000 for a cameo/guest appearance, not as the lead.

This WAS a union gig, which puts her claims into automatically dubious territory.

She’s in a union and this is a union gig so point 1 doesn’t really apply here.
