There a short run show on Netflix called Kevin Can Fuck Himself. They are from that area and say the name a lot.

"We don't tell you which party is good or bad to hopefully get money from everyone. Also Jesse Plemmons can act so creepily scary."

Next they'll be in the delivery room cuffing the baby before the umbilical cord is cut.

I tried helping him too. He ain't getting it.

Did you even check my other comment that explicitly answered your question? Cause it explicitly answers your question.

I did address the question in a parent comment. This chain is responding to someone else calling you a conspiracy theorist. The only one whining is you. As I mentioned before it's perfectly alright to not have that knowledge if you've never had need of it. As someone with the knowledge I tried to elaborate for your benefit. You chose to embrace your ignorance and push on with whining. You have very little understanding of what "auto drive" actually is. Again, that shouldn't be something to be ashamed of. Getting all pissy when someone tries to provide that knowledge is exactly what I'd expect from the type of idiots who would support the situation in your initial post. Be better than them.

What's the statute of limitations on contempt? I agree they are in contempt, but so are a bunch of Republicans that defied congressional subpoenas. I'd say lump them all together if you want to truly send a message.

Your ignorance does not equal reality. What you quoted wasn't an anecdote. It's a fact. As I said above, you not knowing that fact is perfectly fine. Getting snippy with me trying to provide some knowledge on the subject is just weird.

Not the person you originally replied to, but you're toeing the line of conspiracy nut. It sounds like it comes from a general lack of knowledge on a subject you have had no need to look into. Which is perfectly fine. But it's very far from reality. I have a tesla and the scenario of locking me in and dropping me off at an ICE center is impossible. I have an older one that lacks full self driving hardware so there's no computer code that could execute most of what you described. Now this comes from my direct knowledge of having owned one. This might have been more appropriate for a "nostupidquestions" style community.

A key safety feature built into such automated systems is the ability to physically override the controls if needed. There was actually a case of a plane crash due to this feature and some egregious lapses in safety protocols. Pilot had his kids in the cockpit. Plane on autopilot. Kid sitting at the controls pretending to fly the plane. Accidentally overrides the autopilot and steers it into an unrecoverable spin.

This kind of feature is mandated. If they had some super secret back door to override that, that would be legit cause for civil war. Remotely disabling the car and providing location to ICE to come pick them up is still egregious but something they could currently do.

But they can be made to look good on paper. That's where it counts. At least for the people being paid to make those bad decisions and obfuscate it with "good" numbers.

It felt like a request rather than a challenge. Like they think there will be differences and want the proof.

 

I'm hoping to find a game similar to Borderlands Science. Preferably something that can be played on a phone. Top tier would be the ability to play offline (sometimes I don't have great cell service though I understand it would need to be connected to some degree).

I can easily zone out on somewhat mindless games and play for hours if I have the free time or spare attention. Progress tends to be my limiting factor. If I've just put 10 hours into a game and the next time I pick it up is the exact same as the first it can feel like a waste. If instead, those mindless hours were going to a good cause that is progressing (even if I don't directly see that progress), it might make it easier. Plus it's going to a good cause.

 

The cliche understanding is that dogs mark their territory with pee. At times I've been on walks with family and friends with half a dozen dogs. There have been occasions where they form a line just to pee in the same spot.

So how does the ownership work? Is it like a co-op? Last one to pee wins?

 

How bad are everyone else's side effects? I currently take a 30mgXR in the morning and 10mgIR part way through the day. I can get some facial tics and other OCD like symptoms. They aren't bad enough to lower my dose or make other changes at this point. Just wondering what others are experiencing and if anyone has any tips or tricks to dealing with stuff like that.
