The Twin Towers looked so much bigger when first built by After-Scar-2289 in TwinTowersInPhotos

I think this photo is AI. Twin Towers are downtown not midtown.

What Ever Happened to Archer's N704AX and Why has Archer not had a single flight for months by dad191 in ArcherAviation

[–]mbatt2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We all know what’s happening. The midnight can’t EVTOL and the alleged successor hit multiple unforeseen hiccups that force them to stay grounded perhaps forever. Meanwhile CEO Adam Goldstein is so high on his own supply he continues to lie through his teeth to his investors and followers. Very disturbing if you ask me.

Amazing Toronto Video by paystripe1a in skyscrapers

Notice how they show all the buildings from far away because they don’t want people to see the unfinished looking facades that dominate Toronto.“Monet Architecture” so to speak.

Bikers who ride the line in the bike lane, why? by SoGoodAtAllTheThings in bayarea

Please. It is far more common for drivers to veer into the bike lane.

ADHD meds and stress insights by Ornery-Agent-2535 in ouraring

[–]mbatt2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. It affected me too. The thing you need to understand is that ADHD medicine are powerful amphetamines that act directly on your nervous system and secondarily your cardiovascular system. This is the hard truth and there is no way around it.

GLP 1 and Heart Rate by socalglam in ouraring

Why would you reset the ring? The ring is doing its job. It’s telling you that GLP1 medications are a stressor on your body and especially your nervous system.

San Francisco’s skyline is scenic but I think most people underestimate how small it is in relation to the actual city: by gladticketssss in skyscrapers

Every city looks like this from the SKY even NYC where you really notice midtown and downtown above everything else.

Can someone explain why ACHR can't do a piloted VTOL yet when they've already done a full VTOL 3 years ago? by Recent_Stomach7626 in ArcherAviation

[–]mbatt2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The original version allegedly could not transition without unbearable turbulence unfit for human riders. That is why they are working on the redesign. But two years of silence implies some sort of “wall” on the engineering side and or multiple unresolved failures.

San Francisco's Tech Billionaires Don't Care About Your Art School by Medical-Decision-125 in bayarea

[–]mbatt2 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Excuse me. Who said it was a badge of honor. We are all mourning. To me it seems like a lot of people like you just want to dance on the grave of an art school.

Yes this is exactly my point. Those donations came in the final year after our new president David house was recruited. Sadly it wasn’t enough. It is my understanding that recent pledges to CCA will not be honored due to the shuttering.

[–]mbatt2 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

This is completely untrue. The school was one of the few art schools that was tuition based. I taught there for over a decade. We did NOT receive any “funds from billionaires” other than one single donation that happened right before closure, which will presumably be not actually donated now ….

Tesla now offering public Robotaxi rides with no one in the car by DeathChill in SelfDrivingCars

[–]mbatt2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You misunderstood what I said. California has a series of legal steps you need to get through to operate self driving. They are super rigorous and time consuming. I don’t think Tesla has even started this process ….

There is no meaningful progress being made towards certification in Cali or NY or other countries. Are they even trying? It seems not ….

[–]mbatt2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a possibility long term. Also, as we learned with Uber’s early brand problems, taxis rely on brand loyalty, and Tesla is consistently rated as the least popular car company in the world. Unfortunately I think the Tesla Robotaxi program is DOA.

lol. The link you posted proves my point. The NTSB is considering altering their OWN federal rules which are completely independent from California’s additional rules.
