This is not true.

Anti collision systems of various sorts have been around for over a decade. The problem space is minuscule compared to self driving, and almost all car manufacturers offer both forward and reverse collision detection at this point.

In fact I think EU is making it a requirement soon.

I feel that the whole point of the P90 is the small form factor and the full auto combined with a small fast projectile that is unlikely to over penetrate. Given the longer barrel and lack of full auto of the PS90 you might as well get a five seven for home defense if you want that Gucci factor.

Didn’t we close down some jungle warfare schools?

I tried using Freecad as to filet something recently and it told me to look at the error console for more information, after googling for where the error console is, I realized the message to look at the error console was being output to the error console.

There was no more information to be had. It is a UX and functional nightmare, and it is what it is, but the downside is this means millions of engineers are being trained on subscription web sites, and eventually this will be used to both squeeze people for money, and also to prevent people from creating unauthorized or patented parts.

DNC misread the room. It was populist season, and only one populist ran…

The genius of one of his recent acts is the trolling he did. He basically made a joke about how fuckable children are and a joke about trans people in the same act, just to see what the media ran with.

I didn’t appreciate how he used Daphne as a shield against criticism, but his unsaid point was salient to me.

I mean… they have two modes of operation. The default mode is to save millions of lives, the other mode is to delete humanity.

So they do and don’t kill people.

It’s Schrodinger’s nuke

I mean you're illustrating the same rationale in a different way. Anyone who's hauled kids around in a sedan knows it sucks, so you go shopping for a family hauler. Traditionally you get a minivan, so you check the price, and it's nuts. You look at their SUV selection and you find a hit. Three thousand over a camry via car-payments is cheap compared to straining your back every day.

A RAV4 starts at 29k, a sienna starts at 37k. A small SUV is usually cheaper than the cheapest minivan from the same brand. Couple that with the ease of dealing with child carseats in a higher vehicle and there’s your reason.

A small suv is simply the logical choice for small families.

The first paragraph lists the actual key to the films success, the rest of the article makes a poor attempt to spin a counter narrative to the obvious and fails.

No way this “key” was more important than the soundtrack, an excellent teardown of unrealistic romantic expectations, and the hardships and power of sibling relationships.

Disney made a great movie about two sisters finding their way, they don’t need to make 100 other movies along the same theme for its own sake.

You got that timecube vibe.

I don’t understand your main part

Yes, people who like to pump efuels share that problem. If you can't understand it you will be stuck believing in oil-industry claptrap.

I’m talking about the regulatory problem with the EV manufacturing that makes is very hard to actually achieve net zero with EVs.

The main issue with gas cars is the gas, what you're saying is a red herring that doesn't even make sense.

Answer me this: Is manufacturing gasoline cars carbon free?

Of course not!

EVs and Gasoline cars both currently involve carbon output. So you're trying to imply that somehow making a battery pack (the big differentiator) is a process that produces such a huge amount of carbon, that it outweighs the 10k+ gallons of gasoline an ICE car burns throughout its lifetime.

That's an extraordinary claim. Where is the extraordinary evidence?
