So they have cat filters now in the social media camera apps? My boy looks like he’s had all his wrinkles and blemishes removed.

Only $162,000 per room yearly or $13,700 per month. What a bargain! Looks like their math is off though. At $352 per night x 14k rooms, they’re about $500 million short of $2.3B but maybe that’s bribery money that isn’t counted toward housing these people.

According to Google, there are plenty of rooms at $100-$200 per night so why are they spending so much? Classic government ‘assistance’ where they make a big show of passing legislation and then barely any of the money alloted actually winds up where it’s supposed to and instead winds up in the pockets of some contracting company.

Yeah this is exactly what people said about Biden dropping out of the race too.

Well it seems currently they’re supporting it, and currently they’re also neck and neck with Trump. Doesn’t it strike you as odd that the race is so close despite Trump having dozens of felonies, being so old, and being generally insane?

So your justification for supporting genocide is that it gives people better opportunities for career advancement? Well, now I’m convinced it’s a good thing.

Definitely not as well but you can still use them. Cars didn’t even have vacuum assisted brakes up into the 1960s and 1970s

The brake pedal.

I think they’re talking about the new Hummer EV.

A vehicle shutting down in the middle of the freeway can easily cause multiple accidents.

but the observed pattern does 100% apply to other things.

Sure, if you retroactively go back and look for patterns where it matches something but that isn’t a very useful exercise.

There aren’t. Mercedes system only works in two states on freeways during the daytime on sunny days at speeds below 40MPH with clearly marked lines and no construction. There are so many qualifiers that it’s basically useless outside of the attention grabbing headlines.

Which can be a failure in itself when you spend 10 years and tens of billions building something “perfectly” only for it to break on its maiden voyage. That makes you wonder what was the point of doing everything so methodically when they could have taken a more efficient and iterative approach.

You’re the person who corrects people to say “datum” and “the data are …” aren’t you?

Potato potato

Third-party ECUs are already wildly popular items (Holley Sniper and Terminator along with less popular third-party products).

Also, your car being an automatic isn’t the difficult part of the conversion, having to fabricate the parts to adapt the drivetrain and battery are.

Edison is working with Deboss Garage (youtube) to build electric and hybrid electric conversions for passenger trucks too.

The 80s famously didn’t have any muscle cars due to the gas shortages of the 1970s, new emissions standards, and burgeoning popularity of Japanese imports.

They have a $25B yearly budget.

What is SpaceX spending on R&D? From what I’ve read, Starship is estimated to cost $10B for development and their R&D budget for 2023 was $1.5B. If NASA was going to build something similar themselves, they’ve had nearly 70 years and hundreds of billions to accomplish it.

In reality their budget goes toward companies like Boeing, Northrop Grummon, and Lockheed Martin, who then pocket it and build substandard equipment. This is all public information so I can’t imagine why people are downvoting other than being extremely emotional for some inexplicable reason.

NASA farms these out to outside companies to build anyway, as seen with the latest Boeing space fiasco, so I don’t necessarily believe this to be true. These defense contractors seem to be interested in little more than milking the US government for all they’re worth.
