Mbourgon everywhere

My understanding is that there is a hardware release, but it’s not intuitive. https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_us/GUID-A7A60DC7-E476-4A86-9C9C-10F4A276AB8B.html

Except we did something like $3.5b in trade with them last year somehow. And they taxed uninhabited islands.

The Catheter Cowboy needs some new Fox ads, amiright?

Come on, guys. You know the first rule of Usenet.

“A fine is a price” - John Rogers

I really hope you’re right.

Fun fact: the term “quisling” (a traitor who collaborates with an enemy force occupying their country) is due to the actions of Vidkun Quisling during WW2. Musk already means something, alas.

Thank you for that, that’s hysterical! And I wouldn’t have caught on with the handshake. They need him as a guest on the Katering Show!

It’s Red Green’s cousin from down under! Where’s Harold?!

All he has to do is step back. People have short memories. He has enough wealth to weather it until people forget and start buying Tesla again, especially if Trump keeps throwing him contracts to keep up the stock for a year. I wish there was better news, but unless sales flat out stop and the stock crashes, he wins. And the board will kick him and say “see, it’s fine now”, pushing aside the fact that his whole wealth is based on the stock, so even if he’s out, he benefits. That said, could he leave Tesla without the stock cratering? So maybe there’s a way he’s held accountable. But sadly, I wouldn’t hold my breath.

He absolutely wins. In 5 years his role will be forgotten or whitewashed and Tesla is just a car company again, and he’s worth a trillion at that point.

He’s been useful, but it’s starting to hurt his pocketbook. So he steps back, people start buying teslas again in 6 months, trump doesn’t get the blame, they win.

Put “DEI” requirements in the billing requirements

Spartan was a fantastic David Mamet movie, and he was great in it… like everything.

Really good article, well worth the read.

An interesting/useful article, if only because I was unaware of the Mac equivalence of Launchy (Linear, Superhuman,etc). The biggest problem is that a Conversational interface could excel at certain tasks, but just using it Willy-Nilly is asking for disappointment, plus the voice recognition still needs to get better, especially with context clues, which would require more integration (watching whatever you’re watching, hearing whatever you’re hearing, what page are you looking at, etc. )

But if you’re in front of a keyboard, then directing the computer to do something has got to require less context switching then just bringing up on the keyboard. Even if it’s only 60 words a minute, if all you’re doing is typing in a handful of strokes, then it’s probably faster than coming up with all the keywords necessary to tell the computer to do it.

“Which isn’t exactly the kind of atmosphere that screams “Happy 9th birthday, Jimmy””

…but does scream “happy 14th birthday”…

Most credible colleges require shot records. Even Baylor requires the MMR vaccine (https://healthservices.web.baylor.edu/services/immunizations#%3A~%3Atext=Routine+Immunizations+REQUIRED+for+enrollment%2Cfrom+first+day+of+class). I’m sure there are some crappy religious “colleges” that don’t require it, but unaware of it.

It got this from his phone contacts, so while some are totally expected, one wouldn’t necessary expect/want to see that he has some of those contacts.

They lied and will continue as if nothing has happened. You got the sound bite.

Especially with trump spewing at rallies about how shitty EVs are.
