yes of course. fsd is only 3 letters but IMHO they’re both lies.

nah. you’ll be fine and get an exemption. Taking the vaccine usually goes like this: risk if you take it <<< risk if you don’t take it. I’m gonna bet you real money that if you actually tried getting it you would get screened out b

okay. i’ll bite. what’s the “real” truth?

i think the draft is way worse in that you are separated from your family and there is a real possibility you’re going to die. also, remember that this is not the government. your employer can ask you to do anything (within limits) and invo

i’m with you there. what really concerns me is that people that vaccinated themselves and people who don’t want the vaccine seem to live in completely different worlds. we are a post truth society. logic and reason have been dismissed and s

oh snap. I totally understand this measure and, for the record, agree with it, but I'm picturing the pushback that this will lead to.

also as an exercise: if we could wave a magic wand and force everyone to switch to EVs tomorrow, how much time do you think it would take to ramp up production to the point we can get everyone in to an electric car? (I’m guessing it’s gonna

the question about the moral authority was a rhetorical one. Apologies if it came across as a genuine question. I think you’re missing the point: Toyota made their decisions (which they probably had more data then you have for) and now they

to be fair Apple CarPlay was vaporware until recently. Some may say it’s still not the best experience/integration.

lol no. business decisions are driven by economic incentives. I’m not saying it’s right or wrong but that’s the way the world works today. you have the authority to decide only to the point of electing politicians that push what you consid

i agree with you in principle, but (there’s always a but) there are other more impactful things that can be done to cut down carbon emissions (modern cars are already stupid-efficient). Who has the mora authority to declare that Toyota shou

by rantwasp 5y ago
is it FUD though? were do you draw the line between legal and illegal. right or wrong? I think it’s absolutely expected for Toyota to attempt to protect their financial interests.

are the products not competitive? last time I bought a car it was a Toyota. My next car will probably be a Toyota - probably a hybrid. As much as we like to pretend that the EV are the future and are happening right now, IMHO we’re not ther

what does “being wrong” even mean. Everyone has an opinion and everyone has their own interests (including people in the gov). Assuming they are “wrong”, why would they suck it up? Why would anyone do something that goes directly against t

haha. as far as new car tech goes Toyota is okay on adoption. You should see the tech from the past that VW has in its cars.

by rantwasp 5y ago
that’s a bold prediction. i don’t think it’s going to happen. building a car is about more than just the engine. It’s about the supply chain, it’s about parts, it’s about service. Toyota and Honda have a lot more experience in this area tha

nah. just because some drivers do stupid things does not mean that we should allow this "FSD" travesty. The thing is: if you're a human driver and you screw up you pay the consequences. It's codified in the law and you a

so your problem is not the potential of the damm thing listening on you 24/7? it’s the wipe after factory reset? i guess I could see some people mind one but not the other, but I guess people that strongly care about their privacy woul

you’re missing the point of GP. Musk has over promised and under delivered for a long time. Wall St/investors don’t believe Musk. They believe in Tesla and/or SpaceX. Musk is neither of those. He may be the big boss, but thousands

nah. it’s not a common sentiment. people talk about set and setting + harm reduction over and over again. If you’re gonna do a drug and be reckless you’re gonna have a bad time.

Since we’re here I would like to see a study linking sugar to the increase of health problems (including mental health). Other drugs are small change compared to sugar.

Alcohol consumption is not without risk. It literally kills your brain cells and has many negative side effects associated with it. Alcohol is widely produced, distributed and consumed. To me this comes down to having the choice. Do the res

the hvac guy does not know how drywall is made and would struggle to produce a piece od drywall. As a matter of fact, the drywall guy would struggle. They don’t build their own materials, they use materials they buy from Home Depot.

newer engineers are less used to lower level abstraction. anecdotal, but that’s what I observed
