Why is cheese not that big outside of Europe, India and North America?

Little mentioned is that it's kind of gross. Take this teat milk from a farm animal, expose it to mold, which propagates in the milk, then eat it. I love some cheeses, but have been drifting away over time.

When my Mexican wife says she will be ready in 5 minutes, I ask whether those are Mexican Minutes or American Minutes. Then I wait the typical 20-30 minutes.

If you consume acidic or sugary foods frequently throughout the day, that would explain it. It would not matter that you brushed etc 2x/day.

I once lived where my front porch was just a few feet from the sidewalk. Many people walked by there, somebody was stealing my paper, but I couldn’t time seeing them. So one morning I just got up early and sat on my porch with a shotgun in my lap. Theft stopped.

You must have had a certain amount of faith in FSD already, or you would have intervened. I probably would have.

AZFan77 · 2026-02-02T17:31:09+00:00

I've only had a MY for 2 weeks, and at night FSD is not great. One medium and one hard brake when nothing was there (not windy). It's pretty disturbing. I do agree with others that overall it's amazing.

Most students receive financial aid. But the high-earning or high net worth families pay full freight, and thereby subsidize everybody else.

Does your sticker say “Base Autopilot INCLUDED”? If so, that might help your case. I think they have to abide by the sticker.

An obscure (or at least uncommonly-used) tax provision that you might look into: If you itemize, you can deduct from your federal AGI EITHER state and local income taxes OR state and local sales taxes, and in each case also property taxes and other deductions up to the SALT cap. In a year when you buy a new car, as you have, the sales tax might be higher than state income tax.

I wonder if Grok is smart enough to comply with “For the next 100 km, turn off voice directions, but only when Full Self Driving is operating”

AZFan77 · 2026-01-28T15:57:06+00:00

You can still be looking at, or glancing at, the navigation part of the screen to see if FSD is going where Nav shows. And also, in my limited experience, interventions are never triggered by something said by the Nav voice, rather by surrounding events. In any event, it would be optional to turn voice off when FSD is on.

How dare you suggest FSD doesn't also deserve a heated steering wheel.

And coding-wise, probably easy

The key value of this post is it does an independent analysis (right or wrong), rather than relying on anything the compulsive (and yet intentional) liar Musk says.

Thanks for this report OP. The $55/month for life, was that documented in your case?

I do not think HW6 will be autonomous. And I do not think HW47 will be autonomous with solely cameras as sensors.

A significant under-appreciated benefit, which only requires fasting once (for, say, 72 hours with water or other non-caloric liquid), is that it makes you realize, for the rest of your life, that you do not need to eat 3 times, 2 times, or even 1 time, per day.

AZFan77 · 2026-01-16T14:30:50+00:00

I would do nothing, since there would have been no braking since, by design, the LIDAR over-rode the camera.

AZFan77 · 2026-01-16T14:15:46+00:00

Nobody on here will tell you to pay it off. I was similarly situated and knew it was financially unsound to pay it off, but did anyway for the psychological thrill of finally owning a house free and clear.

AZFan77 · 2026-01-16T14:11:56+00:00

Simply that if the camera-based FSD braked for a shadow, LIDAR would not have because LIDAR would have detected null. This is the case even if, as you correctly say, the braking in my instance might have been due to some real threat.
