We are shouting at “Tesla” and not the driver because you can’t fix stupid. What you can do is make autopilot better such that it’s highly compatible with stupid.

the shit you think is a #movement on social media has little actual impact on the “real world”

He’s made being an eco-warrior a part of his brand.

Yes. They bid $48 million to do it. Other tunnels cost $1 billion per mile in urban areas like Las Vegas. The boring company competitive edge is the same as SpaceX. They cut through decades of bureaucracy and used private funding rather then public. They are simply using mostly existing concepts that have been ignored…

Still beats riding in a las vegas taxi!

Um, the going rate for tunnels in US urban areas, like Las Vegas, is $1 Billion per mile. Musk is constructing this for 1/20th of that. The innovative shit is just for the press releases. It builds end user interest, but the boring company’s actual customers care way more costs and capabilities. If musk can build this…

If drunk pete can stay balanced on a scooter at 33 mph for any amount of time, kudos to him. When you start to get above 15mph, particularly on uneven walking trails or sidewalks, the amount of attention you have to pay to stay stable rises exponentially. Transportation infrastructure isn’t built for scooters. That…

I wish we had a better way to combat such brazen stupidity.

“a chant of bitterness, divisiveness, partisanship, and small-mindedness.”

I’m pretty sure the reporter knew asking the guy yelling “Fuck Trump” any question wasn’t going to get a polite answer. Everything that happened was deliberate and is exactly how Fox news convinces it’s audience that liberal democrats are the enemy and don’t deserve any respect for their viewpoint when they act so…

They didn’t expect any different. This is the exact response they wanted. This is fodder for fox news. Their audience is not going to see this as other people in the world don’t like Trump or that he’s unfit to be president. They see it as validation that Trump is upsetting the status quo. The fact that liberal soccer…

You are confusing a dynamic weight limit with the static weight limit. The 150 lb weight limit on your roof rack is the dynamic one that is the maximum you can use while your vehicle is in motion. The static weight limit is several times that. Your outback would almost certainly be able to support a modest rooftop…

OMG, bureaucracy at its finest. This guy isn’t the problem. A massive public system unable to deal with low-level vandalism is.

The only thing that ad convinced me of is that I should be driving a motorcycle in Mexico City instead of a car.  

Of course they should make the trains faster or fix any of the existing infrastructure, which technically speaking, should be an order of magnitude more productive and easier to do. However, politically, it’s just not possible. A new tunnel that doesn’t change the status quo of any existing transportation mechanism…

The average GPA at harvard is 4.1. Normies are well and truly fucked with or without a handful of rich people paying to play. This maybe screws over the valedictorian at your school.

At a certain level of responsibility, like an executive, I would agree, for a grunt, like this contractor was, you are not going to have the luxury of spending hours not only finding social media accounts that may more not have a person’s name in them, but also making judgement calls and finding context for posts that…

A social media editor at an online newspaper IS a normal hire. There are likely multitudes of them doing grunt work like reviewing posts by forum members. I doubt the title conveys the very lofty meaning you think it does similar to a newspaper editor. She also wasn’t even a normal hire. She was just a contractor and…

Different and only found in expensive cars makes it feel premium.  Whether the body lines are sharp or rounded doesn’t really matter.  What matters is that the poor people don’t have access to them.

Nope. McDougal said she was also offered money for the sex. https://www.nbc26.com/news/national/karen-mcdougal-trump-once-tried-to-pay-me-for-sex
