If this started happening to lots of CEOs, you’d suddenly see gun control laws have Republican support, just like magic.

He should buy TikTok, might be a good distraction while he finds a way to destroy that platform too.

Epidemiology is a real thing though. You can certainly track, for example, the link between smoking and lung cancer. Not everything is as clear as that, but epidemiology is quite important.

No? They should be deported, not put in camps.

Yes, there is a shit ton of dead weight in the government contractor sector, just soaking up that delicious tax money for minimal effort. But I have a feeling these aren’t the employees being targeted right now.

I was under the impression that while streaming was garbage for money that touring was the cash cow. Apparently it’s a loss for these artists. It makes me sad that all the profits get vacuumed up by everybody but the artist.

In this case, it’s almost charming to use AI slop to represent invasive advertiser slop.

That would fall under “congenital anomaly”. What that means legally for the person is anyone’s guess though.

Sex/gender shouldn’t even be something the law can affect - a good law applies to all humans, regardless of what’s in their pants.

Even BoingBoing is going all in on the anti-adblock popups, sad.

Oh yeah, the big infotainment system could definitely be a factor in bad driving.

Also thanks for pointing out the methodology on how they’re counting fatalities, that easily scratches one item off my list.

I believe you, but do you have any data to support your claim?

Which is odd, because most electric vehicles (including some models of the Tesla) have better crash ratings due to having a crumple zone where the engine would be. Assuming that’s still true, there must be another factor that tips the balance towards deadly accidents. Some thoughts:

• They are heavy cars. Maybe it’s safer for the passengers but more deadly for the other vehicle.
• Maybe Tesla drivers are more irresponsible than other car owners.
• Maybe the torque and acceleration is too high, causing people to lose control more often.
• Maybe something that doesn’t get rated in the crash ratings causes deaths, eg. electric locks which are unable to open when power is lost, a likely scenario during collisions.
• Maybe the FSD features are causing more collisions to happen.

Spooky, the mirror image doesn’t have inverted text. Clearly she fell in love with her doppelgänger through a window.

If you think that Starship has the exact same issues that SLS has you’re truly stretching reality. A billion dollars and two years is a TINY cost overrun compared to what they are doing. I know it sounds like a lot but for comparison, SLS costs like $2.5 billion per launch, not including development costs.

Ehhh, two years late for a rocket isn’t terrible. Space is hard.

But yeah 2030 is an aggressive timeline. I’m shocked NASA didn’t go for an Apollo-style service module and lander that gets assembled in-orbit, launched by Falcon Heavies. That seems like the least crazy architecture and requires very little new technology.

Slightly worse in design, far better in consumer-friendliness!

Agreed on all points. Trump is intentionally using a legitimate but small problem to excuse and fuel his overt racism.

I 100% agree. If you read my comments you’ll see that I said we should not deport people who haven’t been found guilty of espionage. Collective punishment is evil.

In what way is it naive to say that Chinese espionage is real?

Or are you implying that we should deport all Chinese people because a handful of espionage actually happens? Because that’s morally abhorrent.
