Re: Tesla Cyberpuke

It may seem obvious, but the big problem with the robotaxi is FSD (or the lack of it). Space Karen has been able to BS about FSD deliverable dates for nearly a decade now, and no-one has really cares, because at the end of the day the Model S, 3, Y etc were reasonably functional EVs even without FSD...

Re: Tesla Cyberpuke

The extra emphasis at the beginning of 'wonderful', followed by the 'errr' a few seconds later proves that 'robot' voice is just a remote worker. No-one seriously believes that was real AI right?

Crikey, twice in a week. Yup, fireworks should be limited to professional displays over the 5/11 weekend (or nearest) only. Ban sales to the public and restrict their use.

At about 25 seconds into that vid we see a fourth child get into the back seat of that car! Plus the dog!

Whoah, spicy Jobbo is correct. I'm just imagining how that feels and it makes my teeth itch just thinking about it.

Re: Randomness

Amazing that we used to laugh at causing an innocent person so much stress.

Also can't see Beadle without thinking of this

Re: Kids of today….

Can't believe I'm agreeing with Zed. If you want your employees to handle a hazardous substance then you provide appropriate PPE. Not rocket science is it?

Same about providing ear protection in an engine room or eye protection when when drilling or hammering.

Re: The Protest Thread.

It's a stretch to say frames are part of the artwork. Painters rarely sell their work framed. Also they didn't deliberately damage them. Read the sentencing remarks linked above - the judge made a good point about the frame. And I'd argue they definitely did deliberately damage the frame - they thr...

Re: Bye bye Starmer

Even as a small c conservative, I still think Starmer is principled decent man surrounded by a stunningly average and inexperienced cabinet, with barely one or two exceptions.
