One day as a teenager I was screwing around with the cattle prods they sell at the local farm supply store. I pushed the button a few times and nothing happened – no sparks, no noise. Clearly it doesn’t have batteries in it …
I learned something that day.
Isn’t census data used to determine availability and funding for social programs?
So the options are “disclosed personal information the government has no business knowing.” or “cause services important to your [group] to be underfunded/cut”.
Lose/lose.
Psh, as a leftist I’ll have you know we’ve done a lot more than complain. We went to a few protests, wrote a couple emails, and boycott stores we hardly shopped at in the first place.
There is a male loneliness problem. The meme is making fun of the toxic dickheads that are part of the problem and lack the self awareness to realize it.
“Why don’t the people I treat like shit like me?!”
I contacted their customer support and had them delete my account. I also sent them an email as to why, and stated I’d be telling everyone I know not to shop at REI.
Fuck them.
There will still be elections – they just won’t be fair and legitimate elections.
They make a lot more than car navigation systems. Their recreational gear and avionics are top of the line.
Pretty sure it’s a joke/reminder about jury nullification. “Luigi Mangione obviously isn’t guilty – the guy they got on camera looks nothing like him.”
I get the impression it disengages so that Tesla can legally say “self driving wasn’t active when it crashed” to the media.
The cartoon wall is just an exagerated illustration of why a vision only system sucks compared to other systems.
If you watch the rest of the video, you’d see Tesla’s vision only system is inferior to cars using radar/lidar in other, more realistic situations like heavy rain and fog.
Arrogant, posturing douchebags that don’t understand the technology they’re involved in and are unwilling to learn. Any “work” that’s done is by actual tech workers or tools creates by them.
The tech bro is only in it for money and “prestige”
One day you’ll wake up and realize people born on the year you graduated school can legally vote, drink, etc. A short time later those kids have kids of their own … and you are ( or are old enough to be ) a grandparent.
The worst part is you’ll still mentally feel like you’re not much older than your late 20s or 30s.
You can’t get a manual gearbox here any more.
Another factor contributing to the discontinuation of manual transmissions is the increasing emphasis on safety features and the integration of advanced driver-assist technologies.
Ew.
“prepper” vs “Prepper” with a capital “P”.
The first learns and practices actual useful skills – gardening, food preservation, repairing their own things, etc. The later are dorks buying a ton of unnecessary shit shilled by right-wing influencers cosplaying as “entirely self-sufficient”.
That was the original meaning, but it’s also been co-opted by assholes as an “argument” against providing for people’s basic needs.
Buy why is it human? I’m just happy they fixed this oversight in the (vastly superior) 2001 remake with the Lincoln Memorial.
Technology has never been the problem: there’s nothing wrong with genetic engineering, AI, etc. They can (and have) been used for good.
The problem has always been the “greed is good” sociopaths using it for evil.
Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis is a bacteria that’s really good at killing mosquito, fungus gnat, and black fly larvae. It’s harmless to everything else and it’s the active ingredient in “Mosquito Dunks”.
You can break up a mosquito dunk into crumbles and soak them in a pitcher of water overnight to inoculate it with BTI. Water your plants with it to inoculate the soil and it’ll kill off the larvae – I go a little further and sprinkle crumbles over the soil in my pots to keep them inoculated.
It’s my go-to for dealing with fungus gnats in plants and I’ve never had it fail.
