  1. I wonder how Hartzell is gonna square this with UT's Free Speech Week https://www.utexas.edu/ut-celebrates-free-speech
  2. It's from UT's totally SUPER cereal Free Speech page https://www.utexas.edu/ut-celebrates-free-speech
  3. Shout out to @bolverk for the timestamp, copying over here for context: One final clip from the long video demonstrates how peaceful the students were when the yellow-vested organizers cleared a path for the cops. Don't buy the narrative of it being a chaotic protest and take off your thinking cap, just so you can have a reason to be happy the cops are cracking heads.
  4. Oh you mean like this very fine person over in DT? Because he's doing exactly what you called out and buying the appearance of chaos to justify the brutality
  5. I could see someone forgetting a loose shell or two in a bag and then reusing that bag for air travel. It is a HORRIBLE fucking idea though because you're gonna make the explosive sniffing dogs and equipment light up, and you could forget a shell or two in the bag and end up in FPMITA prison in a foreign country
  6. texags.com sounds like its more your speed my guy
  7. I'm more embarrassed by abbot deploying riot cops to put down student protesters and arresting kids walking between classes.
  8. What an absolute sack of bullshit outta Hartzell
  9. ya know, if you turn that picture on its side and put wheels on elmo's back, he's almost shaped like a cybertruck
  10. Who the fuck do you think has been holding the door open for Greg's Gestapo?
  11. It's been a common police tactic to break protests around the world but was last in the limelight in 2020, here's a GQ article with an explainer, and another from a UK human rights org, but kettling is where cops will cordon off an area and prevent anyone from leaving there, then systematically arrest and process everyone there as criminals. Or maybe let them go. Who knows, it depends on how that cop is feeling in that moment
  12. Abbot has deployed riot cops onto UT campus to put down pro-Palestine protests They've been teakettling and arresting students in front of Gregory
  13. gotta love it when the cops start to kettle students in front of the Gregory steps. For fucks sake.
  14. Yeah this reads as technobabble hoping to trick investors into jumping onto a thing that's just an idea. Edge compute is nothing new. Your cell phone or laptop is gonna be significantly more capable in general compute tasks than your car. But yes, Tesla's have a big ass battery integrated into their chassis. You could use that to power compute infrastructure. But that's not some groundbreaking innovation
  15. One of the main "lines on maps" strategic overview analysts on YouTube just put out a pretty good video on the recently passed Ukraine aid package, going over what's in it and what's not, how it came to be, and it's complications in delivery. It touches on the congressional process to explain the mechanical "how" but does not go into the politics, so noCR
  16. There's a pretty successful SEAD strategy for getting Kerch downed
  17. Drive between Houston and Dallas on 45 any given day and theres a good chance you'll see one of their self driving semi's that's covered in cameras and spinning lidar lenses. I feel like I've been seeing them since 2022
  18. I think it's that they need more than one angle of attack to take out such a heavily defended target as the Kerch bridge. ATACMS is a ballistic missile that comes in at mach 3 or 4 out of the stratosphere, Storm shadow/Scalp are stealthy sub/transonic coming in low, and the MALDS decoys can add even more chaos to the scope of an ivan air defense operator. I'd bet a dollar that Kerch isn't standing by summer. If Ukraine can cut that lifeline it will completely change the complexion of russias impending offensive
  19. One of the worst things about the trump presidency was the insistence by trump's band of useful idiots that it was unreasonable to call trump a liar, and the constant calls to meet in the middle between truth and lies. It always got especially bad during any period of civil unrest
  20. That's a shitty and misleading name for a feature then. It should be actioned by the FTC because people are buying Tesla's thinking they can do autopilot, like the name would suggest. And further, you're continuing to not address that your $10,000 paid beta software is just as poor at unsupervised driving as the current "norm"
