  1. After claiming the Pacific Palisades Fire was so destructive due to "allowing fresh water to flow into the Pacific," Elon Musk met with local firefighters to bolster his claims, only for one of them to leak the following video, where a precise rate of flow and reservoir capacity are cited
  2. That and Zuckerberg would go after him hard.
  3. Or how many cars roll off the sales lot with trackers/diagnostics modules plugged into the car, that report everything over cellular connections from speeds to locations, times of day, etc. plenty of YouTube videos on how to remove them.
  4. I'll take those Hondas over anything Tesla makes though. They don't look like they were designed by 12 year-old me in the 1980s after watching Jan-Michael Fucking Vincent and George Fucking Peppard in Damnation Alley.
  5. "Look at this self-driving car, huh? You need to get yourself one of these. Watch this, I'm going to grab the steering wheel and jerk it really hard towards that car pulling into the intersection, and my car will correct itself before we are in danger." "Look at my new,new self-driving car. You need to get yourself one of these, and by the way, I'm sorry about last time, and I'm glad insurance covered your bills, and that you are regaining feeling in your legs. Okay, so there's no other cars around, just relax, but check this out, it drives great on snow and ice, and if you jerk the wheel, it'll self-correct. Don't worry, there's no other cars around!"
  6. This is what Honda has coming out. The plan is to launch the 0 Series SUV and 0 Series "Saloon" sedan in North America in 2026, followed by global markets. Though still prototypes, the EVs will likely look similar to what Honda is showing today, perhaps with some minor tweaks plus various packages and trim options. Honda will produce the 0 Series vehicles in Ohio, suggesting they would qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit, just like the Prologue. However, that's only if President-elect Donald Trump abandons plans to kill the credit when he returns to the White House later this month. -- Honda says it wants to establish "global leadership" in Level 3 self-driving, which is a step above the Level 2 systems offered today by Tesla, Ford, GM, and others. The key difference with Level 3 is the driver can take their hands off the wheel and look away—no constant attention and eye contact required. Mercedes is currently the only automaker with an approved, Level 3 system in the US. "The vehicle will oversee driving, which will enable a human driver to perform a 'second task' while en route to their destination, whether watching a movie or remotely joining a meeting," Honda says. The "eyes-off" system will first be available on highways before expanding to "all driving situations." -- Honda Debuts '0 Series' EVs With New AI Chip, Level 3 Self-Driving | PCMag But Honda isn't relying on Tesla to solve the EV-charging problem. It's teamed up with seven other automakers to create the IONNA charging network. It'll eventually offer 30,000 fast-charging stations in public areas by 2030. Combined with the roughly 18,000 Superchargers available to non-Teslas, plus other networks, Honda expects 0 Series drivers will have access to "more than 100,000 charging stations by 2030." Honda views 0 Series cars as "virtual power plants." The cars can charge themselves at times when energy usage is lowest and sell back energy to the public power grid when electricity costs are high, "thereby wisely managing the entire household's electricity bill."
  7. They fucking murdered Time Bandits, however they have a lot more invested in Star Wars and keeping the kiddos interested (those Star Wars resort things at Disney World don't pay for themselves).
  8. If you told 20 year-old me that the world's richest man would spend large portions of his day hanging out on twitter and chatting with people, I would assume that twitter was some kind of 1-900 or 1-976 party line, and he'd be talking to people pretending to be supermodels or getting his fortune read, I would think "okay, that's a little weird, but the world's richest man could afford to hang out on a 1-900 or a 976 party line all day. He could probably even afford to hang out on The Sierra Network gaming setup all day" (I had to take a second job to pay for that shit, but I still love Sierra and you Ken and Roberta Williams). But if you told me it was him typing messages to a lot of lonely men, Russians and AI-controlled bots, I'm picturing him on a BBS with a bunch of the older BBSers, a bunch of Yakhov Smirnovs, and things that sound like Dr. Sbaitso, or some weird-ass alt. usenet group.
  9. So they are getting 5G whether they want it or not?
  10. Lots of projection. He’s scared of the world at large because he spends so much time on the internet listening to other lonely men who are scared of the world, so he assumes that the world is dangerous and that other people should also be scared.
  11. I have relatives flipping out about some event and wondered what it was. His screenshots were low res and I couldn’t see a date. A couple of weather apps are showing low 20s for the Austin area for Monday and Tuesday (20th/21st). Ut sunny during the day and into the 40s so not great, not terrible.
  12. Up to half, maybe more depending on sources, died there. More died in another assault elsewhere. I would be surprised if 10% were still functional.
  13. Coming up on an anniversary. Back when the Russians had trained personnel and decent light armored formations, before they were reduced to fucking golf carts and Ladas.
  14. Ehh, that’s any number of ranches east of Alpine on a Tuesday afternoon.
  15. Look man the Pacific Ocean is just like the Gulf of America.
  16. Well, at least until Friday night.
  17. Ohio State fans are sensing this won't go well for them if we tie it up.
  18. Fuckeyes gonna pass interference the fuck out of this.
  19. Do they have any eligibility left? Asking for a friend.
