Seriously, he at best seemed questionably okay 10+ years ago.Then he turned out to be a giant piece of shit, an unintelligent, horribly cliche villain from an M. Night Shyamalan movie.

GotDAMN, that’s the fastest preemptive block I’ve ever made here. Thanks for pointing that out.

To the best of my knowledge, which includes a few minutes online trying to prove myself wrong, the brakes on all Tesla models are straight friction - no blending. Regenerative braking only happens when the accelerator is released. The friction brakes alone are sufficient to kick in ABS, so regen isn’t needed to help stop the car.

After giving it some thought, I suspect the car wasn’t stopping fast enough, so the driver took over and just didn’t brake hard enough to prevent the accident (possibly because they were anticipating some amount of assist from regenerative braking). Underestimating how hard to brake is very common and is one of the primary reasons behind adding automatic braking systems.

As someone who owns a Tesla, I can attest this isn’t how the brakes work. We’d heard similar rumors to this effect and it was the first thing we tried on the test drive. The brakes are 100% functional 100% of the time, regardless of driving assist.

Even if “full self driving” (quotes intentional, that shit is not fully self driving) did cause an accident, the driver is perfectly capable of avoiding it by braking or taking over steering.

P.s. Fuck Elon Musk

I also had a good Sea of Stars cry. Totally worth playing. It sounds like DLC for it will drop in 2025 too.

When an SUV with floodlight headlights is tailgating me, I ask the passenger to use the rearview mirror to reflect their light back into the eyes of the driver. When that fails, we flash them a few times with one of those stupid 5k lumen mega-flashlights. They always seem to back off.

Same, during a boss fight in Elden Ring. I died.

I use Arch.

I have an S and it’s the best car I’ve ever driven. The Musk taint makes me feel gross, though.

Idaho, the South of the North. I now live in Washington, where that kind of shit doesn’t fly.

No, you’re fine! I didn’t specify. I lived with it for so long, it didn’t even occur to me to outline the process.

We had to fix it or arrange to have it fixed, then the landlord would verify it was fixed to their satisfaction. The landlord was otherwise hands off until it exceeded the cost limit. This was the norm for the area.

They provide maintenance free housing…

Keep in mind this isn’t always the case. Landlords where I used to live are increasingly requiring tenants to pay for some maintenance costs. A past landlord had us pay for anything $300 or less.

I also use Nova Launcher and had no idea you could do that! Thanks for letting me know.

I keep all my Google icons quarantined in one folder. Case in point:

Ummm, yeah, me too… Discounts…🏴‍☠️🦜

Playing this game anew would be an upside to early onset dementia for me.

I also had one of these the other day. I posted a comment about a place selling exotic, tropical fruit. I get a response from a user about how it’s too expensive but they live near the farm so they’d just drive there.

What’s their point? What are we supposed to do with this?

I have a fair amount of cast iron and the pre-seasoned ones aren’t the best. I’ve always ended up seasoning it further or stripping it down and doing it again from scratch.
