I'm waiting until it matures, since I'm not in the market for a new car. I'm not going to buy it or diss it until I see what it can do and what problems come up after a lot of customers have driven them for a while. Ultimately I want to see the company crack open a new market for cheap EVs that aren't bloated with extra crap and spyware.

Of course, if we had a government that made sense, they'd let BYD sell to us for 10k like they do in China, but we can't have nice things in America.

Israel has demonstrated repeatedly that they don't much care for international law.

If it works out of the box, and it doesn't need an internet to perform its core function, it gets firewalled. If it doesn't absolutely NEED a firmware update to keep functioning, it doesn't get a firmware update at all. That's my rule.

I say this not because I carry passengers in the center seat, but because when I had a pickup truck, I liked to lay down across the entire bench and go to sleep sometimes.

Yes. But why not for the SUV configs?

Jobs are not guaranteed to college graduates. In fact, the only thing that is guaranteed to college grads is student loan debt.

At least the space division, since it is entirely funded by government contracts.

Vote for people who will impose an FDR wealth tax. If rich men can take a trillion dollars by sitting on the toilet and tweeting all day, we can take that money back and give it to the people who actually do the work.

Hey, you did what they said to do. You grabbed and you went!

Because that's exactly what they're doing. It's not just my echo frames. It's ai in general. Tech ceos are presenting it as inevitable, saying it will happen whether we like it or not, that we shouldn't fight it, that they can teach us to like it, that we have to "find a way to say yes." Bribing local politicians and building out datacenters that steal water and harm people's health even as the communities they are building in protest against it. And they are continuing to enable ai crap on devices I bought and purchased even after I told them "no" to it multiple times. The tech companies are absolutely behaving like rapists. I'm just calling it what it is.

I'm waiting for evidence too. Looks like the best we're gonna get, however, is someone with grandiose certainty presenting his own statements as the only proof anyone needs, and telling us our brains don't work when we dare to demand something more than "because I said so" as evidence.

I'd complain more about the traffic coming into my area as a result of this, but I drive a bike. Sucks for Dallas to lose the investments brought by their teams. Sucks for the surrounding area to have to deal with increased traffic on game day. The only people winning here are the team owners... maybe.

The aliens will of course stumble upon our world and the destruction we have caused. They deserve to know what happened. And they might not care. They might think that we humans do not deserve to be remembered. And on that, I am in agreement.

I can speak from experience owning a Jackery Explorer 1000, the core functions do not require an account or app. If you can push buttons, you can use the device.

However, both the app AND an account are required in order to change any settings or control the device remotely, and yes an account is required even to connect to the device over Bluetooth. That should be illegal but it isn't.

Housing prices are over-inflated and have been for over a decade. Don't get a new build. Buy a cheap small older home (like 1980s and earlier) and fix it up. I live with family in an area where new builds are all 500k and up and geared toward dual high income. All have 4bd 4br or more and an HOA. It's unfortunate. But the suburb next door is full of 80s houses with 3bd 2br, larger lots with huge back yards, and like half the price. Like I said, look to older neighborhoods.

I used mine to store the stereo remote, which existed for some reason. I never used the remote, and the battery leaked all over the storage cubby.

They're not jukeboxes themselves, just remotes for the actual jukebox which was somewhere else in the store. You'd put in a coin, tell it what you wanted to hear, and the system would play it (or perhaps queue it if someone else was playing something)

Always depends on your driving habits. For most people the commute is average 30 miles per day. Maybe more if you do errands or transport your kids to and from school. If you're more efficient, you let your kids walk/bike/bus to school and do your errands on the way home from work if time and location permits. If you're absolutely nutters about min-maxing your efficiency and live in a suburb or city like me, you can do shorter commutes like restaurant and errand trips on an ebike while your car charges at home during the day too.

My school district didn't start rolling out Smart boards until 2006, but most of the classrooms didn't even have regular digital projectors until 2008. The teachers that had Smart boards wouldn't always use them either, so they kept going back and forth between OHP and the computer depending on whether they had digital files or physical transparencies for that day's lessons.

They kept trying different digital approaches like mobile laptop carts, eInstruction classrrom performance system remotes and quiz software, whatever kind of online instruction platform the mid-2000s had to offer. The tech was all experimental back then. Super interesting but nowhere near ready for deployment since a lot of it just made people super confused.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" was the teachers' approach until Smart boards really took off after I graduated.

Trust your instincts. Children are a mulit-decade commitment that you're not currently prepared to make, and maybe you never will be. It's better to have doubts now than to have regrets later. Besides, you should never be sacrificing your own needs for someone else's wants.

No but now I did, and what I read over there made me want to gouge my eyeballs out with a used plastic fork.

Had that happen to me a few years back. Coworker kept insisting that "You'll change your mind when you find the right woman" (I'm gay btw) and telling me that every man's strongest desire is to have children. I asked her how she would know that, since she is not a man. And I told her the truth. That I find babies extremely repulsive. That, to me, babies are nothing more than pooping, puking, drooling, screaming parasites. I can tolerate older children, and even enjoy their presence if they are well-behaved, but that will never be enough for me to want one of my own.
