  1. Elon/Tesla-simp friend in my group chat also brought all that up when I shared that video (I was honestly more interested in him sneaking the lidar into space mountain and possibly getting skull fucked by Mickey Mouse, the Tesla crashing into the wall Will-E-Coyote style was just the sprinkles on top) and while it does not appear to be a very fair scientific test/comparison, believe there is still some validity to the argument of Lidar vs Optical Cameras right now. The Lidar sensor based "self driving" system does seem to have an edge over Teslas camera based system as they are not as easily fooled by things like rain and fog (and possibly well painted walls...). I'm sure eventually with enough money dumped into the AI/Computer Vision the cameras will prob get pretty close to parity with Lidar but just not there yet. But of course, Elon/Tesla-simps don't care about having a reasonable discussion about Lidar vs Cameras and I'm just a hater...
  2. Bunch of MAGA waifu hunters right now:
  3. Kinda surprised you got an answer right away on the phone, have heard some rather astonishing stories of how far the phone skills of the fresh meat Gen Z new capital staffers have fallen...
  4. NCAA also busy fucking around with the NIT and mid majors last night:
  5. Friend who works as staff for a House member told me this morning that this bill is already dead (see how high the bill number is, will likely never even make it to a committee hearing) and is likely just a freshman rep trying to swing his tiny little dick around. Said its likely someone at TPWD slighted that member and he is trying to get their attention...
  6. Will likely begrudgingly still fly Southwest for that reason too, not really that much closer to Hobby than IAH but its so much easier to deal with getting in and out of...maybe will start hoping Delta will expand their Hobby footprint one day. The credits expiring and points getting cut way back are definitely worse than the bags or open seating going away, but do feel like the "bags fly free" thing they touted for years and years and years getting taken away is really hard to come to terms with as a rather loyal Southwest customer.
  7. Whoever is running SW's social media really might want to chill for a bit and let the heat blow over: Just booked what will be my last Southwest Flight with bag flying free and used up the rest of my flight credits and points doing so, looking around at the best of the rest of the bad airline options...Loved flying Southwest but the really are no different than Spirit or Frontier at this point in my opinion.
  8. That also checks out
  9. Alex Jones new look is something... Can't decide if the steroids are doing some heavy lifting or if he caught the cancer...
  10. I think that's the 3rd rail that not even Elmo/Trump would touch...but for schadenfreude and also the pure chaos and terror it would cause Republicans nationwide I kind of hope they do
  11. Trump when he realizes they gave him a copy and not the real thing:
  12. Please don't give that asshole any ideas...
  13. Some of us don't want to drive around in a boring washing machine of a car and enjoy the occasional thrill of wondering if your car will start and/or throw a bunch of warning lights (VW Golf Mk6 TDI driver here). What's even worse is Toyotas famed reliability is even starting to slip, Wifes company truck is a 2023 Tacoma and it's been in the shop several times over the last few months for fuel system issues including one that resulted in gasoline leaking everywhere at a gas station...
  14. Friend of mine works for a state agency and has/had written/official permission to permanently work remotely, would still go into office in Austin when requested (and on his own dime) but that was not super often. Mentioned this to him and he said wasn't sure if it would apply to him yet... really hoping he doesn't get rat fucked by Abbott but that would not be the most surprising thing in the world at this point...
  15. Any fucking day now…McDonald’s do your thang
  16. Stoopid Sip, the plywood is to protect the contents of the building from looters not the windows...
  17. Quite literally already have useful idiot a la Jar Jar binks in Star Wars proposing this shit: https://ogles.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-ogles-proposes-amending-22nd-amendment-allow-trump-serve-third-term
  18. Those Aggy McMansions out in Katy/Cypress along the Grand Parkway need plenty of cheap timber (and labor) they aint gonna build themselves...
  19. This article and its content seem pretty news worthy to me...
  20. I for one, can't wait to have to pay Elon Musk a subscription fee thru X: the everything app, in order to get all the great weather forecast information including severe weather warnings and Hurricane track forecasts that the NWS currently provides as a public service...
