  1. Just a reminder if you haven't read it, this article is a damn fine read: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/05/i-read-everything-elon-musk-posted-for-a-week-send-help/
  2. This really doesn't take much to realize why they have an issue with this. Using vision only, the cars probably can't pick up any sort of depth information from the tunnels. This probably is a lot like the first few accidents where the Tesla didn't see the semis crossing the street. And people here wonder why so many say FSD isn't anywhere ready for prime time.
  3. Since we're on the Star Trek theme.
  4. It slid out the back. He didn't secure it at all - bigger pictures on these posts
  5. https://jalopnik.com/teslas-optimus-robot-cant-even-compete-at-trade-shows-1851631782 The meat of the article is this video:
  6. Well the guy owns and drives a Cybertruck, so ...
  7. Only 2 of the 4 kids were Nicole Simpsons, the other two are from OJ's first marriage. Just sayin'.
  8. A buddy of mine has a hook up with a family that imports EVOO from Italy. They bring in FAM brand. I generally get a few gallons at a time. Usually 6 cans of the organic (green) and 1-2 cans of the intense (blue). It's really good stuff.
  9. I would have thought a Pez dispenser would have been more apropos.
  10. Funny, I saw the first picture without seeing the 2nd picture and I thought "Gee, I wonder if that guy properly secured down that load?" Then I saw that 2nd picture. Just proof that guys who own CT's are not truck guys. It also makes you realize how many people don't really understand loading a truck. I am pretty sure those are 10' boards, that bed is only 6' deep at best (the bottom 6" of the bed maybe) and then it comes in quickly. So you have a lot of boards hanging over even with the tailgate down. Even tied down I wouldn't do that at all. This also made me wonder if the bed does have tie downs, it does. But it wouldn't have shock me to see that skipped or ignored in the design. There is another picture posted by someone else that drove by and saw the aftermath, snapped a number of the boards in the failure process https://imgur.com/OCTEa2f
  11. Couple of articles about Telegram. Much of what has been said, but really good reads. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/pavel-durov-has-nothing-hide-telegram-says-arrested-founder-2024-08-26/ https://www.platformer.news/telegram-durov-arrest-france-explainer/ Casey Newton can be annoying at times, but he hits a lot of high points well in this piece. He also addresses another point about what this means for other platforms, but he really hits some great points here. I recommend reading both.
  12. https://www.barrons.com/articles/robotaxis-coming-tesla-competition-ad76aff4 Barron's is so full of shit. Robotaxis are vaporware. They aren't even close to existing. Yet Barron's is talking about their competition? Against 2 companies that have offered MILLIONS of driverless rides. Compared to ZERO Tesla ones. Pathetic.
  13. Aka the sarlacc pit?
  14. What bottles my mind on this one is that it seems like pretty clear hands to the head/face there. How that's not a red is beyond me.
  15. I have to admit, I'm slightly torn on this whole situation with Durov. Frankly - I think the guy is a real piece of shit. I also think that Telegram is poor in their initial setup in terms of real privacy (IE end to end encryption isn't turned on by default). And when you have the support of Elon Musk, you must be doing something wrong. That said, I am a big proponent of privacy and people being able to have end to end encrypted messages without anyone's prying eyes. And in a way I think a platform should be absolved of what their users use their products (IE - we don't shut down the phone company because criminals use phones). IE - encryption is not a crime. I'm more interested to see what the French government has on Durov and Telegram in this particular case.
  16. 1.25 speed? That’s pretty pathetic.
  17. Ashley Young, not a fan
  18. You could say that Mickey is playing so fine that it blows your mind.
  19. Yeah, seems very fine
  20. SNIPER!!! Son!!! And MICKEY!!!
