If you can’t handle the fact that someone working at IndyCar holds a political belief dissimilar to yours and occasionally makes a mistake, then you are what I like to call intolerant.

Police: “Freeze!”

I guess you missed the part where they were blocking traffic and emergency routs as well as throwing rocks and bottles. But yeah, you know, bad government blah.

Why are people buying and selling more high-production cars than low production cars? The world may never know.

And yet, here you are.

Why? Just the general “fuck you for being better off than me”, or is there a specific reason for it?

Sometimes outside car thermometers are so inaccurate that they feel like random number generators. They’re basically the worst feature of the car, next to the car’s infotainment systems. That’s because [...] they’re actually thermistors.

I can’t tell you how much I disagree that using the term “autopilot” somehow implicates Tesla, as if the man wasn’t specifically trained, educated, and reminded on the limitations of the system. He was willfully and foolishly risking his life despite all warnings.

Much like autopilot on planes, where the term originated. It’s arguable that the colloquial interpretation of the term means Tesla should have chosen something else, but it is hardly without precedent.

“And thou holy light shined down upon him, nay, reigned upon he,

Electrical Engineering business here, guilty.

IT person here. Was hoping the same as you. I scanned the page looking for numerals and never went back.

Maybe it’s because I have a degree in compsci and math, but I was really hoping this article would end with an actual number (“7 times per month”) based on the headline instead of a big wishy-washy “It depends”

Iranians are great people. I hope that one day this mess will be resolved and tourism will flow freely between our countries.

I think it has more to do with a regime that supports terrorism, pursues nuclear weapons, and chants “Death to America” every chance it gets.

This is the absolute best possible answer, and reading it may or may not have resulted in a small eruption of diet soda raining down on my desk...

As a civil engineer, this day reckoning when all the infrastructure begins to enter failure mode that the MTA lifer speaks of, is no joke. IT WILL HAPPEN. And soon. Check of the grades from the American Society of Civil Engineers Annual Infrastructure Report Card: https://www.infrastructurereportcard.org/. It’s a
