  1. Not sure why, but this one used to cause me and my brother to crack up uncontrollably.
  2. My wife is watching “Exorcist: Believer”. I see Leslie Odom, Jr on screen and all I can think is, “Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, Sir?”
  3. Thank God Yup... imma enjoy my Friday night. Wait. What's that you say? TX/OU play tonight? Fuck it. I'm ready to have my weekend ruined.
  4. Lost 8 of last 9. Oof. Can someone call this guy?
  5. 19 pitches on Neris already with nobody out.
  6. Fuck any adult male with the first name Jansen.
  7. Yordan gonna go yard so we can add another 1-run L to the collection.
  8. If I see another rolled over bouncer to the left side, I'm gonna puke.
  9. He's talking a big game here, but he didn't back it up today. He got two batters in on his third time through the lineup and didn't retire the 1-2 hitters once. He Houdini'd his way out of two situations with at least two on and no outs and had just gotten himself into a third. He was LUCKY to have a zero on the board and got saved from an L by Montero.
  10. 95 pitches, numbnuts.
  11. When a rookie with a hyphenated name, bleached hair, and a hoop earring takes you way downtown, it's time to re-evaluate some things.
  12. Fuckity fuck fuck
  13. I don't think they meant "Relentless" this way, but damn if it isn't appropriate so far.
  14. And holy shit, what would these numbers be without the Abreu anchor?
  15. What a stupid game.
  16. I hear you. There are a lot of morons on the road and a lot of morons on the road in Teslas. I get the sense that a large portion of Tesla’s early adopters bought their cars because of the technology and the perceived environmental benefits of EVs. That group can be further broken down into technophiles and technoflexers. The technophiles respected the technology and were genuinely interested in testing and experiencing it. The technoflexers were more interested in creating viral videos of themselves sleeping behind the wheel while doing 80 on the freeway. I think the technoflexers were a small, but very visible minority that saddled Tesla owners with a terrible image. I say all of that to get around to this point - there have been a lot of FSD miles driven with very low accident rates. Up until March of 2024, there were only about 400K Tesla owners in the FSD beta program. FSD beta has been in limited public release since October 2020, with more general availability since October 2022. In 3.5 years, there have been very few accidents attributed to Teslas in FSD. In March 2024, Tesla opened the floodgates and gave every Tesla driver a free month of FSD. If this system was so irresponsible and inherently dangerous, we should have seen a spike of FSD-related accidents over the past month. Maybe the data collection and reporting is lagging a bit, but we haven’t seen that spike as of yet.
  17. It’s got that cord…
  18. I don’t see where one post contradicts the other? re: first quoted post - The driver in the article was using Autopilot not FSD. re: second quoted post - Tesla is leapfrogging Level 3 with FSD and aiming towards Level 4 certification.
  19. No ethical qualms at all. I bought the vehicle in September of 2020 because of the technology and performance. At the time, I also had Tesla home solar and Power Walls. It was pretty cool having all three on the same app to manage. The other deciding factor was the supercharging network. No one else came close to providing the charging availability of the Tesla fleet. It's still a huge competitive advantage for Tesla IMO. Fast forward to now... I probably won't buy another Tesla unless the company regains some of its earlier focus on accelerating the transition to renewable energy. The Cybertruck has been a huge misstep from concept to execution and has diluted the focus of the company. I never bought into the cult of Elon, but I really loved the Tesla brand circa 2020. To say the shine has come off is a huge understatement. My next vehicle will probably be an F150 Lightning once Ford shifts over to NACS.
