Plenty of people live with and/or care for others who are severely immunocompromised. Now yeah the chances of it are probably on the lower side, but I don’t blame those for being super cautious.

The “acting like an ass” is the key here. Even if you are completely smashed, as long as you keep quiet and don’t bother anybody, it’s pretty unlikely to get kicked off. The dude made a scene to get kicked off. 

It’s pretty funny to say things like “I’ll hand it to Trump - Operation Warp Speed was a huge success that saved a lot of lives” and watch their brains go into meltdown.

Truly the part I don’t get - I think some people over-mask, but hey that’s on them and it doesn’t affect me in the slightest.  (In fact on a plane that makes them less likely to initiate an unwanted conversation, so - bonus!)

A friend has a double lung transplant and as such is on immunosupressant drugs and wears a mask ALL the time. He works in a very conservative community in Alberta and was told by the boss that he can no longer wear a mask as it upsets the clients and co-workers. He presented his dr’s notes and continued to wear it and…

I have a niece. She has an undergrad degree in microbiology, an MD, and a string of letters after her name indicating all the research and schooling she’s completed. She’s a critical-care pediatric intensivist. She treats the sickest of the sick kids; including kids with severe COVID, during the pandemic.

The robot video of the actual robot was still being controlled remotely by a human.

Ok, as an airline pilot I can tell we do not assume you are drunk and kick you off. Here is the rule; If you appear intoxicated by federal law we cannot allow you on the flight. That’s it, not even actually drunk, but if you stumble up, slurring words, and acting like an ass then yeah, no ride for you

also, still with…

People this belligerent rarely admit they were wrong. Do you remember a former president’s triumphant return to the White House after he was hospitalized due to covid? 

This story is emblematic how so many people in this country love freedom for themselves, but then refuse to grant that same freedom to others. I am sure he cited ‘freedom’ as a reason not to get vaccinated. But then here he denies this other person freedom to wear a mask.

bugatti doesnt have the record. that was a bullshit pr stunt and it seems to have worked. they only went with the wind in one direction and that car wasnt in any way production, not even the 300 versions of the chiron are the same as that car. iirc it was also downhill. the venom also isnt a production car. after his…

”I’m not vaccinated, I will not get vaccinated,” Smith said in a now deleted Instagram video. “I believe they compromise your immunities … It’s no offense to anyone. It’s just my beliefs. I just don’t believe in that stuff.”

Agreed. Power levels have gotten absurd, and there’s no legal or safe place other than a track to use anywhere near the performance potential of these cars now. But people (rich dudes) keep buying these things for... reasons. 

Yeap, in this case they are protected from liability because they weren’t making engineering decisions legally.  Inspectors and engineers that signed and stamped documents saying the planes were safe are facing legal problems and the excuse of “well, if I didn’t sign off I would be fired.” is not a legal defense (nor…

I think that was the German government’s doing.  Different laws there.

Remember when Elon showed us all a person in a costume and called it a robot? How about the video showing off the Tesla driving by itself in a parking lot that was actually being controlled by a person? Don’t forget basically every single claim made about the hyper tunnel things and the cyber truck. I’m sure there most…

GMA has entered the chat. With the T.50 and T.33 his sole focus is to make the best driving car you can possibly make, and lightness is key. EVERY gram counts, if he can make a nut or bolt 1 mm smaller, and retain all it properties, it is, the pedals all milled out of titanium, and they didn’t de burr them to act as a…

If it’s tied to Musk, I won’t believe it unless I see it myself on a self-contained system inside a faraday cage.

Merger talk and convertible note failed? Man, their books must be sooooo bad. I knew they were bad once their head of accounting quit and the replacement didn’t last a month. I am sure Henrik’s wife, the CFO, has it ALL under control though.
