.. wasn't some overblown MElon claiming he'd dominate that field.. and is now being given a many billions of dollar bonus (equivalent to 10k USD for every single Tesla yet sold) for his "never actually true or deadlines remotely met" claims? .. curious given two major factors: 1) his "full self driving" doesn't use lidar. Everybody else's does. He claims visible is good enough as it's all humans use.2) he claims humans are never safe enough drivers. Although I suspect he figures he himself is. He also claims anybody that interferes in any way with his whims and wishes re driverless are killing people in the future, so really any mistakes including those that lose lives now.. are fine. Ends justifies the means and all.
Also: turns out one claim "the driverless system was not turned on at time of impact" might be because he had them programmed to turn off if they detected an imminent impact

There are covid+influenza (combined) RAT (rapid antigen test)s available now. At least where I am in Australia.
Also: have you seen that there is a woman who can smell Parkinson's? She passes tests on jumpers known suffers have worn and all! .. apparently it helped scientists to develop a swab test a couple of years ago, but I have yet to see or hear much about use.

When I think of the word "whatever", I picture either my mother or brother -two very decision averse people- refusing to make a choice when asked what their preference is when offered something. It is maddening .. I know decision anxiety and choice paralysis is a thing (very much first hand).. but all it does is offload the deciding onto someone else (with less information so probably more stress over it).

That is an awesome video. And YouTube channel (though they only have two videos. I love that the narrator of the other is -for no apparent reason- a gnome).

.. are we sure it wasn't just testing how distracting it is. BEING IN SPACE! WOOO!?

Can we really call anything with Jerry Seinfeld in it a comedy? His entire schtick is being outraged (or stupified) that anything outside conservative expectations exists. And he just gets worse over time. You could even argue he started (or at leadtst popularised) the modern edgy version of "what's that all about?" standup idiocy instead of having actual wit

.. asking how people are on twitter/X? ... nobody still sane is still there. Just people who either like or are stuck in the dumpster fire.

A us based inflation calculator tells me 13c in say June 1939 is 2.86 now.. that's not unachievable but where I am in Australia about double that at $5.72ish USD (abt $9 aud) is probably more reasonable (at least for a healthy diet without too many heavily processed foods: they are not as unhealthy as some claim but are not great either). Then add another dollar for cat food (aud, inc wet, dry and treats). I spend about $10 a day (aud) on food. (I am a -sustainably sourced- pescatarian diabetic and eat well and fairly healthily)

Request for bum photo has ended up in arrears department. Backside to the old drawing board.

"burger with a slice of pineapple on it" add a slice of tinned beetroot and a fried egg too (along with regular beef hamburger stuff) and you have an Aussie burger.

If you're going to post the claim you need to post the response too. From your own linked story: "On Threads, Meta spokesperson Andy Stone posted that "no one on the Threads engineering team is a former Twitter employee - that's just not a thing"."

There's also the fact that in shows like Star Trek people can talk in those other languages when they want (eg: say something in Klingon). So can the translator tell if you want it to translate it? Then every time someone doesn't want to admit something it should turn up in their native language? Or swears.. etc... very "plot convenient" functioning. Magic
