Not GP, but no, these aren’t long dead people, but recently departed veterans with way too much information being disclosed than should be given the timeline.

I’m also a veteran and immediately had the same thought. Thank you for thoughtfully replying, I probably would’ve been more aggressively toned had I not read your reply first.

Explain to me how you can prove… 1. You aren’t a troll posing as a human 2. That if you are a human, that you won’t die in the next hour. 3. That if you don’t die today, that the Earth won’t be impacted by an asteroid this year.

It’s Jalopnik, it’s basically guaranteed to be poorly sourced and usually not supported with more evidence than a single tweet or Reddit post. Half the article is a ramble about the author never actually trying a Tesla.

Need to try this directly before passing judgement, but this can unlock a few project ideas I have if the quality lives up to the examples with this low of resource requirements.

Wish this could be reduced lower. If I don’t unlock my phone in a day, something is up and extra paranoia is warranted.
