Holy shit, that website can kiss my ass. I hate when sites hijack the back button.

Also, this story shows he is either negligently stupid, intentionally covering up an accident that he thought might implicate him, or intentionally malicious. Some of the mistakes are pretty damning for someone who had made this climb 14 or 15 times. The timeline is suspicious, too. I have no idea if he did anything intentionally, but he certainly made many very bad mistakes that could together constitute criminal negligence in my head.

That is only if this is called a war. It can be called a million other things that Republicans say are not the same thing as war. They’ve done it before, and the Dems know they will do it again. This will be a series of targeted strikes that are not retaliated against by Iran in any way that actually hurts Congress-people. Vietnam War wasn’t even actually a war. Congress approved troop deployments one time, but that’s about it.

Additionally, Republicans have the majority in both houses. The only reason the shutdowns have occurred is because they needed more than a simple majority to get the budget passed. Declaration of War does not have any documented rules for whether it is simple majority or 2/3 vote or whatever. In the past, a simple majority was assumed since the votes were never close enough for it to matter.

“It turns out Waymo has about one remote assistance operator for every 40 vehicles.”

“Making the numbers look even worse for Tesla, “virtually every single one of these miles was driven with a trained safety monitor in the vehicle who could intervene at any moment, which means they likely prevented more crashes that Tesla’s system wouldn’t have avoided.””

Keep going. I’m almost there.

Sure, it took public release of documents they’ve known about for a decade to do anything about it. But at least THEY are doing something to someone in power.

I can’t imagine saying anything so wildly ignorant in my professional career. He should be fired for publicly saying something that makes Microsoft sound like they have no idea what is going on in the real world.

Waymo has a capability for remote control of their cars in niche situations. They don’t do it all the time like Tesla has been doing. It is for when they get boxed in to a street by moving trucks and the only way to move past is to break a driving rule like passing in a no passing zone. They have one remote driver for every 40 cars. Tesla has one remote driver for every one car.

No, this is poorly framed information. They don’t “require” on average 300% more fuel to run. The drivers choose to charge their cars 300% less often than manufactures suggest. This is skewed by rental and fleet cars whose users never charge the car, and by owners who treat their car as a normal hybrid instead of charging it. I was once given a plug-in hybrid van as a rental car but never told it was a PHEV. I didn’t figure it out until the next morning when I was walking up to it and saw the charging cover. My hotel didn’t have a charger, so I couldn’t really do anything about it; but if I were a normal person and not someone who has owned multiple EVs then I wouldn’t have even thought to charge it.

Also, the Porsche one makes total sense. The car is going to burn through battery charge and then hit the gas engine faster when, as expected, Porsche drivers drive them like a Porsche.

That is certainly true, but they are also better than humans in those specific areas. Tesla is (shockingly) stupid about where they choose to operate. Waymo understands their limitations and choose to only operate where they can be better than humans. They are increasing their range, though, including driving on the 405 freeway in Los Angeles… which is usually less than 35mph!!

No, they don’t.

It’s important to draw the line between what Tesla is trying to do and what Waymo is actually doing. Tesla has a 4x higher rate, but Waymo has a lower rate.

What does this have to do with Newsom?

OK, let’s talk facts, since that is what you are using to justify your casual racism.

CA has a much larger population of Asian and Indian people than TX, with 17% Asian (including Indian) versus 6.4%. Based on your “factual” data, that would mean that CA should have more traffic accidents, right? Then why does TX have a 20% higher fatal accident rate than CA? Let’s say it is because they drive faster out there on the open roads than we do in crowded cities. Then why does TX have a 40% higher overall accident rate than CA? These are statistics adjusted by population, so it isn’t just because CA has a higher population. We drive in high traffic more often and should have more accidents. Yet we don’t.

OK, let’s just say TX is its own crazy ass world, since it is. Let’s look at Santa Clara County versus Los Angeles County. Both are high population cities with high Asian populations and mild weather. Santa Clara County is 43% Asian, while LA County is 16.4% Asian. Based on your “factual” analysis, we should expect a MUCH higher traffic accident rate in Santa Clara County. Then why does LA County have a 30% higher accident rate than Santa Clara County?

Look, it’s OK to be a little bit racist. We all are. Just recognize it and learn more about yourself and the world around you.

I did and laughed at it. Then I replied with actual facts to debunk your racist “facts.”

Yeah, that claim seems HIGHLY dubious.

I just don’t use it anymore. Saves me money on beer. I opened it up last week for the first time in 2 months to see if Pliny the Younger was on tap at a local bar.

No, the sentence is missing a comma. The incompetent driver part is the factual point of the observation. The casual mentioning of Asian and Indian is the racist part.

It’s good to check sources. I’m only finding second-hand reports of it, though she is in the Conservative party in Colombia. One site says she founded Latinas for Trump.

Way ahead of ya, brother.

How many people have you gone out and killed? It sure sounds like you are imploring people to take to the streets and violently attack the government. What have you done in support of this goal?

I only have an Instagram account to follow when special beers are released by a local brewery. That’s their only method of communication, which is annoying.

I have found myself on IG watching skateboarding or cliff diving videos for 15 or 20 minutes before catching myself. It’s crazy how addicting it can be. I’m not doom scrolling or even researching a hobby I often do. I just find those videos fascinating, and it keeps feeding that to me. I just don’t open IG anymore.
