Have your damned star.

A bit of tender care should help it get back on track

Worst. Dad Joke. Ever.

Comments like this make me angry, I need to go let off some steam

Headline typos are the best typos.

Correct. Those can be removed, but not jettisoned. These would have been underwing tanks. Which come in few different sizes, IIRC.

I don’t think the US operates the new F16's with conformal tanks. I think those are updated export models only. These would be your classic drop-tanks underneath the body and/or wings.

There is an optional step to invert the plane...which may have already happened if you are running the ‘oh shit’ checklist

I guess those ones

Former Jalop writer Jason Torchinsky had a great take on where we are with driver assistance. Which is that the current level of autonomy is far more dangerous than driving one’s self.

Humans have two ‘cameras’, no lidar, and no radar.

I’d rather pay $80k for a car with the appropriate redundancies than $40k for a car that can only LARP as self-driving.

Another bunch of greedy assholes ruin a company. Anyone else as sick of VC and hedge funds ruining great companies as I am?  Fucking VC. ARRRGGGH

This. It doesn’t matter whether there’s a disclaimer that states this whole thing was the owner’s fault.

Yeah this tech is definitely ready to take over for drivers completely!

I love that the giant snake head is like the 14th insane detail I noticed about that car.  That is gloriously weird.

As a man fully devoted to being the CEO of this company, while having no other CEO jobs or distractions, like a brood of emotionally healthy kids who are not simply scattered to the winds, I have full confidence he has fully thought through this situation and by no means gave an off-the-cuff response to an issue he…

Holy crap, I was just saying yesterday how I think it’s a massive conflict of interest that Musk is running his own AI company on the side while pushing Tesla as an AI company too, and that the only purpose would be to force TEsla to buy out xAI for a inflated price... and now here we are!

It’s a bit worse when you consider that Tesla is taking large deposits and banking the income and tax credits. Congress really should make Tesla divest from the non-core businesses.

Same for electric cars. I have (older) coworkers who passively think that Tesla is the ONLY electric car. “Who has $100k for an electric car??”
