These cars are passing EU safety tests which are generally more demanding than the USA.

They are definitely getting good, fast.

…for now

It’s less that people are putting faith in Elon (sure, some fanatics might be), but it’s that everyone else is somehow even worse.

SpaceX is actually getting stuff to space, despite their prototypes blowing up. Hell, even if this Starship thing is a complete failure and never works, their existing rocket, the Falcon, is still far beyond any of the competition.

The SLS: $10 Billion and a decade late to develop a ship that recycles old Space shuttle parts, then costs $2-3 Billion per launch, and maybe can only launch one every 2 years.

ULA Vulcan: currently years late, still finding problems, and even after all that gets worked out, it can maybe do 6 launches a year?

SpaceX: 1-2 launches per week.

That’s not faith, that’s just facts. I would absolutely love to have somebody else step up and take SpaceX’s crown, but… there really isn’t anybody. Bezos’s Blue Origin may have the biggest chance, but they are more likely to act like ULA than SpaceX.

Actually the main issue is men aren’t taught how to provide emotional support. I have difficulty with it myself. Heck, I think half of men can barely handle their own emotions properly, much less someone else’s.

Men are there for their bros. But generally men expect their bros to ask for more physical support. Lend a tool, some muscle, use their car, help them carry furniture, lend some cash. Men will be perfectly ok to help a bro out at the drop of a hat for things like that.

But ask how to figure out how to get over a relationship? Uhhh…

Safety standards? Sounds like anti-profit standards! Guess who DOGE is cutting next!

My doggo

Yeah but the boba sink to the bottom

Orbitz did all this research to get the little balls to be the exact same density as the water so they’d hover in the middle

This is basically the entire point of the fast and furious series.

Yeah I’ll be honest, I surprised myself when I bought my EV and my odometer went up a whole lot faster than it used to

My previous car wasn’t easy on gas so I instinctively used it sparingly. With my EV I actually do drive a lot more and I’m volunteering to be the driver for group trips and stuff much more often…

I like to read in the dark, and a black OLED screen with white text is so much more comfortable than even an e-ink screen for me.

LCDs are good for price, I guess. All my big monitors are LCD, but phone has to be OLED.

It’s a holdover from old BBS forum style.

When you reply to an ancient thread, it immediately gets pushed to the top of the board. Now everyone basically is wondering what this 5 year old topic is doing on the first page. And they might have to read through several pages of messages to understand what the hell the newest reply is about because nobody remembers the topic in the first place.

With Reddit/Lemmy, the upvote system means it really doesn’t matter at all if you reply to an ancient thread, it won’t jump to the front page for anyone.

They can describe themselves again. I suppose that could be considered cultural restoration?

Haha as if that will stop Trump

At least they had diversity…?

Than half of LLM users? Probably

I can guarantee you that 95% of car owners don’t know the name of the CEO of their car company. Most people who bought Teslas years ago didn’t know or care who Elon Musk is.

You know, I always expected Tesla to be the first to do this kind of shit, but never underestimate Stellantis’s commitment to be at the bottom.

Are you calling her fat?

Because every time a manufacturer releases a small phone, nobody buys them.

“natural” movement and the Uncanny Valley might be the next biggest hurdle actually.
