    Tesla Using 'Full Self-Driving' Hits Deer Without Slowing, Doesn't Stop

    Tesla’s approach to automotive autonomy is a unique one: Rather than using pesky sensors, which cost money, the company has instead decided to rely only on the output from the car’s cameras. Its computers analyze every pixel, crunch through tons of data, and then apparently decide to just plow into deer and keep on trucking.

    Insurance (because you insure your Tesla thru Tesla, of course) sounds spectacular 

     

    Guadaloopy the driver later posts that "FSD works awesome" and "this is just an edge case." Nevermind there's a couple million deer strikes each year so a robotic system that can see in the dark would save people a lot of money and stress.

  2. Must allow illegal maps to stand because February is too close to an election but a state can dump voters off the rolls less than 90 days before an election (in violation of federal law) because reasons

    WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed Republican officials in Virginia to revive a plan aimed at removing noncitizen voters from the rolls ahead of next week’s election.

    The justices blocked a federal judge’s ruling that put the program on hold and required the state to restore 1,600 voters to the rolls.

    ...

    Groups that sued, including the Virginia Coalition for Immigrant Rights, said the process drew in people who might have indicated they were not citizens at that time but have subsequently become U.S. citizens. Civil rights groups and the Biden administration both provided evidence of U.S. citizens who had likely been removed from the rolls as a result.

    Can you explain the technique? I've not heard of this.

    "Broasted" is the name. I assume autocorrect got it when texzilla typed it earlier. "Broasted" is trademarked by the company that makes those particular fryers (which KFC doesn't use, they have their own which do the same thing). It's basically a way to make the chicken fry faster. I guess the pressure allows the water in the chicken to stay in it until a higher temp is reached, thus cooking it faster, and not driving as much water out in the process.

     

    I don't know that I'd want to do that inside at home. Vat of oil which might explode and will probably release atomized oil whenever pressure is reached, right on a heat source. Cue videos of turkey fryers.

    The only possible explanation is that it didn't submerge.  We never specifically see the vessel submerge in the movie.  U-boats traveled faster and far more efficiently on the surface than submerged, so if there was no need to submerge, it wouldn't have done so.  

    The officer gave the command to submerge, but uboats of that period didn't have snorkels so wouldn't have been underwater and underway that long. Still, holding onto a periscope for hours at 8 knots would have been difficult. Then he'd have to be up top with no one noticing for hours while it cruised at the surface 500+ miles from the central med to the cyclades.

    I honestly like what he has done with NATO, UN, and Russia. He cant be predictable and that makes other people step the fuck up. Look at Europe for the first time they are actually willing to step the fuck up and think about defending their borders although its a bit too late in Germany, France and England with their open borders bullshit after the Arab Spring. Trump low key might have saved Europe but you would rather our prez be some J&J sponsored candidate that does nothing. I know where I stand and it is going to take a whole bunch of strong white dudes like me to reverse the damage the progressive left has done on the west the past 30 years.
