This is the exact reason I don’t really like the Summer Olympics (well that and the Winter Olympics just have cooler events to watch) but the continual WATCH GYMNASTICS WATCH SWIMMING NOTHING ELSE EXISTS coverage is exhausting.

Wot? The cyclist shouldn’t have passed like, but he’s only positioning himself to turn once he’s passed the motorcycle. The biker then proceeds to push the cyclist around. Also, that guy does look fairly...new at controlling a motorcycle (says a guy who hasn’t done more than ride a dirt bike since he was a kid, so…

I’ve never heard of Suki Waterhouse before. My goodness do I love that name. It’s the real life example of “take the name of your first pet, and the name of the street you lived on when you were 10, and that’s your porn name!” things. That’s just wonderful.

Is....is that Hugh Grant??

When we say “aspestos” are we combining asbestos and pests? Because if so that’s brilliant. And if not, I’m going to pretend it’s combining the two anyway.

I get what you’re saying. You’ve not made anything unclear, you’ve actually been quite clear. You’re just wrong.

Here, your quote: So it’s not really my understanding of the system at all. I fully understand how the system works. In this case, the system failed. Why isn’t Tesla being help held* accountable here?

Is this a dick move? Yes 100%. But Hamilton’s done this before to Nico. And also fuck Lewis Hamilton. Ergo, I’m completely okay with this.

Haha what?! First of all your first sentence doesn’t make any sense. You should re-write that. There are words in there that don’t belong, or something. Secondly, that’s an impressive misread of my comments. I’ve neither said nor implied any of that. I’ve not even commented on the quality of the Tesla system at all.…

Nobody said you should be sorry, or that you’re wrong for your opinion. You’re welcome to have it. However your opinion is based on a complete misunderstanding of what an autopilot actually is and does, and is also wholly irrelevant.

What you think the system should and should not do is completely irrelevant. That is your opinion, and your opinion entirely. As others have pointed out to you, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what an autopilot system actually is. What you think it should do is especially inconsequential in the face of the…

Nah, not really. The name is irrelevant. It clearly tells you what it is and what it can do and also clearly tells you that you still need to be in control. If you ignore all of that because of the name of the feature, you’re a goddamn moron and you’re at fault.

The real problem is that it’s a live public beta with…

The driver is in control of their awareness at all times, and regardless of the features of the automobile they are responsible for their behavior. This includes their attention and awareness. The driver bears all blame.

“Autopilot made me do it.” Nice try, but wrong.

The DRIVER failure is what resulted in death. Nothing more.

How do you figure Therrien won out? He got a worse defenseman (still good, but not like PK) and a worse contract where they have to pay a guy until he’s 39!

Can someone be both a nerd AND a bitch? For some reason I kind of feel like you can’t be both, but maybe you can. They just seem like they’re mutually exclusive to me. Thoughts?

I think arguing that Klinsmann is responsible for the US being uncompetitive against Argentina is asinine.

...what about a sandwich?

So much this.

Yes but do we have any in-car of laps around this place yet? I can’t seem to find anything.
