It’s a great car. I just prefer my gas cars to be from the 20th century and for daily duties find an EV so much more convenient. The less effort it takes to keep a car for putting around the city for errands, the more I have for things like my older Alfas. 

So frustrating how many dealers only will carry AWD models. With you on the blue, I went to USC and even I’d pick Misano Blue with yellow calipers (UCLA colors, ew!) if I were buying a Giulia. Sadly think my window has passed though, I can’t see myself buying a new ICE in the 2020s, EVs are just so much nicer and…

I use a home carbonation machine that can carbonate any liquid, can confirm sparkling liquor and cocktails are very fun. Basically a far more capable soda stream type device: 

Don’t forget losing ‘07 by 1 point to Kimi. Even staying on the exact same teams, Nando is less than 10 points from being a 5x champion.

With the exact right team every year? Every championship from 2005 until now. But with that logic, Hamilton could have won every year from 2007 until now, Vettel from like 2008- at least 2018, etc. In almost any year this century almost half the field could have won given the right car and teammate.

This is so absurdly ableist of you. Not everyone has magical perfect emotional regulation. In fact, no one does, we all just break at different points. Put someone in a stressful situation, then keep ratcheting up the stress and someone will break. That’s not their fault. No one wakes up saying “I’m gonna melt down at…

I don’t disagree in principle, but often the flying experience is the most stressful thing someone has to experience, it’s not crazy that someone might after days of being delayed and jerked around at their own expense be a bit frustrated. And there isn’t really another option, all airlines have basically the same…

Yes. Airlines treat us worse and worse, and at the moment charge ever more to do so. The majority of passenger incidents I’ve experienced are after or during extensive delays or major Airline screwups. Not fair to put it 100% on the passengers.

Max is 100% my least favorite driver on the grid. Complete asshole and I wish there was a non-injurious way to get him off the grid forever ASAP. But he won 2021. It was only close because of the multiple times Mercedes drivers took him out of races with no penalty.

Hamilton Stans are so funny. That should be at least a season ban maneuver for someone who isn’t a 7 time champion. It was Max’s corner and Lewis’s responsibility to back out. Masi’s mistake was tiny and irrelevant. They didn’t let the lapped car through earlier and tried to panic fix it. No one who isn’t living in…

Always this. Masi tried to recover from the mistake of not letting the lapped cars through a lap or two earlier. Was it wrong/less than ideal? Yes.

Found it wasn’t that easy to place on the greater map from the linked Hordaland goverment site, so here’s a sketch I made showing a bit more of the area.

Police should be terminated and blackballed from all law enforcement if they discharge their weapon, even in the most justified circumstances. It’s a life or death descion, and there need to be serious consequences. You get one shot in your career, make it count. 

This. When an accident is purely cosmetic, it’s basically a crime for it to show up on Carfax. To ding a car for life because it needed a new hood or grille or fender but was mechanically sound is just wrong.

Not at all. It’s orders of magnitude more complex than modeling the genome, as evidenced by the fact that my phone runs circles around any computer from the 20th century yet we still can’t model intelligence. I’m not saying it can’t be done. Just that it hasn’t been done and we’re not even close to understanding how…

Ok great. then model me a human intelligence using math. I’ll wait. Of course the basic interactions are basic, but the end result is clearly so much more than the sum of its parts, or we’d have a much deeper understanding of how our brains work by now. We literally do not understand how thought and creativity…

If an AI was capable of making art it would come up with its own concepts. That’s the absolute baseline requirement for art, creativity. StableDiffusion can’t think of anything at all, let alone an idea for a painting. It just responds to external prompts. It’s a little parlor trick, not even a useful art creation…

So fucking false. I don’t think stupid on this level can even be reached so I’m not gonna try to give a response that someone who thinks human thought is defined by math not biochemistry could understand.
