1234? That’s amazing! I have the same combination on my luggage!

No, emergency braking with radar is mature and cheap. Lidar is very expensive and relatively nascent

He may not be an engineer, but he’s the one who made the decision to use strictly cameras rather than lidar, so yes, he’s responsible for these fatalities that other companies don’t have. You may not be a fan of Musk, but it sounds like you’re a fan of Tesla

But not the ones regarding morality. Just the ones that prevent corporations from fucking over consumers

I can’t believe no one has mentioned my favorite running Python gag:

Hey, I remember getting the original Kickstarter version! I still have it in a box in a closet somewhere

I recently switched to a Garmin watch without GPS and can get about 2 weeks between charges. Does everything I want out of a smartwatch plus lots more.

How is that a conflict of interest? He’s explaining why Bluesky won’t be sold to a big tech company, and since he’s on the board, he should know

How does someone that stupid become Europol chief? And what is a Europol chief?

… for now

I believe they only have one cruise ship, and from reports I’ve heard it’s dilapidated and getting worse

I hated sauerkraut until a waiter at a German restaurant talked me into trying their house made stuff on a bratwurst. It was amazing. Now I like certain brands, but the cheap brands are still gross

It… is Tom Hanks.

My addition to your driving comment is to make sure you have the right tires on your vehicle and if you have a rear wheel drive vehicle, get rid of it and get an AWD one. And before someone jumps in and comments about how their Mustang does just fine in the snow, let me remind you that OP has no experience driving in snow, so no, a RWD car is crap for snow/ice compared to FWD or AWD.

As for the tires, I realize studded tires have their issues, but they are still the best winter tire for both snow and ice. Blizzaks and the like are good, but on glare ice with a thin layer of water on top, they just don’t cut it the way studded tires do.

The sticking only happens due to moisture on your skin. If your skin is dry enough it won’t stick. That’s why the tongue is the go-to dare for playground kids. Lots of moisture. If your skin is clammy from sweat or snow melt and the metal is cold enough then the moisture freezes to the metal and grips your skin

Skellige is nice, but I prefer Toussaint:

When I was younger I’ve definitely made fun of friends who order “girly” drinks, and have in turn been made fun of when I do it. It’s pretty standard among males in my generation (X) and older. Usually happens when everyone else in your group is ordering “manly” drinks like beer or hard liquor.

It doesn’t even have to be something like a cosmopolitan, it could be a gin & tonic, or rum and coke. If they’re all drinking bourbon on the rocks and you order something even slightly less strong, you’re going to hear about it.

Then there’s the times where the first guy orders a beer, then the next guy has to trump him with a run and coke, then the next guy gets a whiskey on the rocks, so then it gets one upped with a whiskey neat. Next thing you know we’re smoking crack in the alley. Just kidding about that last one, but you get the idea. We thought we were being macho, but we were idiots in our early 20s, so shrug

Nope. Just pointing out that she’s fucked herself long term with this frivolous lawsuit, so not only is she an asshole, she also didn’t think through how bringing this lawsuit would make her look to her future potential employers. That kind of short sighted thinking combined with being an asshole might need some further evaluation.
