Yeah, exactly. In video editing, it’s “check your renders”. A few times I’ve seen stuff professionally published with Adobe’s “Click Analyze to begin” banner or something on it. Remember the Tom Cruise trailer that had all of the audio disabled except for a single track of, like, breathing and footsteps? Mistakes…

Outside Online spoke with a representative for the Forest Service, Jason Kirchner, who said that the F-150 Lightning is currently the only electric pickup truck eligible for government purchase under the current set of rules.

What rules make the Lightning the only one they could review for use?

*slow, firm clap*

I don’t know if my mom’s GMC Safari was the worst vehicle, but she certainly drove it the worst. No curb was safe, and I also closed my fingers in the cursed thing’s sliding door so I was not enamored of it. I distinctly remember the sandbags in the back cargo area to make it even remotely drivable in the snow.

Yep that’s what I was reading at the start, too :’D

I mean, I don’t like that clip that IGN posted, but Martinet has range, he’s a professional. He can dial that Mario back to 25% and have it still be recognizably Mario without being over the top. Chris Pratt seems to be struggling to get the Mario over 10%.

I said on my podcast last night that there’s a difference between a good movie adaptation of a video game, and a faithful adaptation. This looks to be the most faithful we’ve ever seen - but whether it’s a good movie, perhaps, remains to be seen. That said, with this trailer I’m at least willing to see it in theaters,…

I hope, since there’s a contract and all that, that the LeBlancs are able to take this “sovereign citizen” to court for damages and see how well her bullshit holds up.

Gross. I don’t know why any new EV these days wouldn’t use the heat pump; it’d be the first thing I’d change in my Volt.

About eight years ago I made a Mirror’s Edge fanfilm, with my car that was styled with Faith’s tattoos. In it, the Driver (rather than Runner) goes for a pickup only to find that it’s a person, not cargo; and brings them someplace, only to find that they were in turn a hired killer. Driver get the hell out and with…

I don’t know if it’s so much a “dealer” advantage, or simply a “retail network that has been around and growing for over a century” advantage.

I meant the online used vehicle business model more than Carvana specifically.

I think when used car prices begin to be actual deals again, there’ll be room for them to expand again. But used car prices are almost the same as new prices, so when given a choice, people are buying new now that new cars are becoming available again.

I’ll agree with you on car shopping - we got a great deal on a ‘14 Outlander Sport because of that - but as a former bookseller, if a new book doesn’t sell, we send it back to the distributor.

And she’s been plenty vocal about how state party leadership failed the state, too, I think to the point of adding her voice in calling for the chairman to resign.

A well-reasoned take, thanks.

The only thing that I count as a strike against AI art in general is what it might be trained on. For a site that supposedly values its artists as much as DA does, the full inclusion and manual opt-out was a misfire, but otherwise I’m fine with it.

Yeah, no. Maybe when they were first talking about it, it would have been a good time, but at this point they let a ton of companies sink time and money into CCS, so... no, Tesla. Yes, your plugs are elegantly designed, I’ll give you that. But you don’t get to try to come at this just because you see the writing on…

I think the number of potential buyers that take Muskrat into account is a fraction of potential buyers in general, but it’s a growing fraction, especially as he continues to do public stupid shit like this.
