Comment section is sparse and the only one so far is making fun of Elon. This is bad. Someone needs to write post about autopilot killing baby seals, should get the usual Jalopnik commentariat out of the woodwork

Does anyone know the history behind why we say we are “dumping” the clutch? We all say it, but why?

I would trust a semi on long hauls more than a car. The vantagepoint of the radar/LiDAR/sonar/whatever the hell they will use will be quite beneficial. All this I am thinking for long stretches of freeway though, not through cities when a full time human driver would take over.

I’m sad that there’s not a better explainer for how the hybrid system works. No commentator on NBC explained much at all during the D24, even the pitstop “re-energizing” was only explained once during all my viewing. Do these cars only use it on the front axle? Is it for low speed acceleration? Overall all-the-time? A…

I thought the same way. I’ve worked with both units many times.

Terrible use of fractions. It’s 1/4" by 1/3"

The issue is that 63/200 inch is idiotically specific, when they could just say 1/3 of an inch and it’s close enough and much easier for someone to understand.

Everyone’s job is threatened by AI and robots.  Why do the Teamsters think they deserve special treatment?

recruiting more drivers and making self-driving trucks unnecessary

Glad it’s been found.

That would depend on where you live.

Cracks me up some people want to paint a 40" waist as average. There’s a healthy middle ground between outright shaming people for being fat, and pretending being obese is healthy and desirable.

This is not true. Especially shops from immigrants offer much better and fresher ingredients for cheaper prices and it should not be asking too much to support those shops. And you can also live a life completely WITHOUT consuming bread and live healthy. Maybe you should try this.

Agreed. About 36" waist currently as a guy and classify as overweight/borderline obese. Our increased sizes have become normalized to a terrifying degree.

Is it really that hard to pay for the things you use?

I think the facts speak for themselves. The park doesnt have to accommodate for people of a certain size when it comes to safety. And dont be fooled, im 6'4" with a 42" waistline coming up on 300 lbs. If I saw this and was going to universal, you bet I would be working some of that weight off. Also, if this is a bad…

I fell for it because I looked at the title and I thought, oh man, this can’t be good, but turns out it’s hyperbole. 

if they aren’t i am saying exactly that

The same CDC dataset cited noted that 42% of Americans are obese, a number that doubled since 1990. Not overweight: obese. 2/3 of adult Americans are now overweight. But I’m sure I’m in for a lecture or my post will get deleted for noting this.

“A 40” waist line is about a [women’s] size 20.”
