  1. Nice police work there, guys. Unrelated: Hortman was considered the 2nd-highest ranking Democrat in Minnesota. This is not a Democrat who was angry about one vote.
  2. Au contraire. Just this week Trump pointed out how the price of eggs has dropped 400% since he took office.
  3. Here's the thing: this can't be hand-waved away as anything other than political violence. It wasn't a lover's quarrel -- it was two different politicians, one man, one woman, and their spouses. Both were Democrats. It was politically motivated, period.
  4. "American".
  5. Not a good week for Bonnaroo. One of its co-founders John Mayers died on Tuesday at age 51.
  6. John Ludwick, Charlie Roison & Bruce Robison:
  7. Don't count your chickens. Bonnaroo has been canceled. Weather. I'm glad the girls got to do their set, but at least half the artists won't do the same.
  8. I watched that video. By the end I was so tired of that stupid riff I was searching for an ice pick to either deafen or lobotomize myself.
  9. I am not disputing that autonomous driving might be safer over, oh I don't know 1B accumulated miles per year? I honestly don't know. I see failures like the one from Austin and I immediately think "wait a minute, are we going to be adding more and more vehicles that DON'T know to stop at a school bus when the lights are blinking and the stop sign is out?" That was a horrible failure. Unless it is negated by enough tests to prove that the Tesla is actually more safe in that scenario than human drivers have shown to be over decades, then no, it's a non-starter.
  10. I went to these two in St. Louis. No complaints other than Sammy Hagar sucked as a headliner:
  11. Wow. So you think it may have been intentionally driving through the flashing lights and stop sign to make Tesla FSD look bad?
  12. I just realized I never saw Nazareth live. Big swing and a miss. But I did see Blue Oyster Cult, so in the spirit of this thread I submit:
  13. The real Carl Spackler or our Carl Spackler?
  14. Yeah, there's a pretty obvious reason why "Hair Of The Dog" didn't chart. That doesn't mean it wasn't a giant hit.
  15. Don Knotts wouldn't. Mostly because Andy wouldn't give him the bullet.
  16. Dang, that's cold.
  17. OK, that's a completely different claim. While I scoff at its veracity, 99.9% success rate implies they apprehended 2,997 and missed 3. One question might be "how do you know only 3 persons evaded capture?" That kinda implies 100% surveillance, which is obviously not happening. Just more Trump bullshit.
  18. Sure it does. The approaching (left hand drive) driver isn't in line with the edge of the car. They're probably 5-6 feet farther out. Again, angles, tricky as magnets? A low speed also (a) increases the likelihood of no collision and (b) reduces the severity of a collision should it happen. You're over your skis. I've watched most of your blather from afar for a while now, but this is just a ridiculous stance.
  19. You're being willfully obtuse. Let's start with the first failure: it is a HUGE failure. It's so bad I would say it renders Tesla FSD (or whatever the fuck it's called) as "not ready for prime time". Moreover, if it HADN'T have failed that test, it would have been traveling at about 5 mph and should have been able to react. You're in a cult.
  20. "Completely hidden" my ass. Angles, how do they work?
  21. Not true at all. I am doubly careful around parks and schools. No way would I have hit that kid. I drive Far West every day and I creep along when cars are parked on the side of the road, I have seen kids dart out way too many times.
  22. Wait . . . a driverless car blows past a stopped school bus and the problem is the rate at which a child entered the roadway from STANDING NEARLY IN THE ROADWAY? Damn, man. You need to recalibrate. Missing the school bus is a giant problem. Not seeing a child in a yellow coat at the edge of the parking lane near what appears to be a park is a giant problem. The Tesla failed BOTH. Those things are a fucking menace.
  23. Gerry Rafferty was a genius. Witness:
