The definition of terrorism usually runs along the lines of, engaging in acts to cause fear for the purpose of achieving political goals. So, stalking someone isn’t terrorism, but sending pictures of a politician in various locations with crosshairs drawn on them saying you will follow through unless/if they do x would be.

Now, the question becomes, are these arsonists setting fire to Tesla vehicles and showrooms because they want Musk to stop his political antics or because Musk is a giant asshole? I honestly think you could get reasonable doubt on that, provided you actually had a fair trial and weren’t dropped in a deep, dark hole somewhere.

Ah yes, that’s the more reasonable interpretation.

There was a story of where a deer was hit by a Tesla in FSD and didn’t even slow down. If it can happen to a deer it can happen to a person, and LIDAR would be a lot less likely to in either case.

The Index is pretty old and expensive. I’d love to have it, but there are also third-party headsets that are Index-compatible that are quite impressive.

While I agree that this would trick many human drivers, I think the goal of a self-driving car is that it be better than human drivers. And there is existing tech that could help achieve that.

I mean, you didn’t say the balls couldn’t have flat sides, right? Innovative solution to a dangerous request.

When life needs parentheses.

Well obviously your worldview is about 15° off true. You should fix that.

BOYZ!!

You ruined my joke. I was going to say, “Antique guns, bought new.”

Well, I prefer to learn from other people’s mistakes. I’ve avoided some of the common pitfalls, but hadn’t realized the prevalence of this trick. I’ll keep it in mind when I research my future purchases.

I have to say, wearing a cape at a Renn Faire with colder than expected weather and having my now wife and her friend snuggling under it for warmth felt pretty good.

And thermopiles.

We need to all start doing unbox9ng videos so we have proof if that happens to us.

If you look up sausages around the world, most regions are covered. Historically, from a survival perspective, you didn’t want to throw away any meat, and grinding up less palatable parts is an easy way to do that. Often, that led to sausages, but American Aboriginals often went with pemmican, Scots did haggis, and I’m sure there were other ways in other regions. The only regions I haven’t seen without a historical sausage is Africa, but the Roman Empire had chopped meat dishes, so the idea may have been exported thousands of years ago even if it didn’t spontaneously originate there.

I’m pretty sure that translates in any culture that eats meat and has gone to war. There might have been an isolated village of vegetarians sometime in history who would have been confused.

8600 from 4 dealerships in 3 days, or 12 dealership-days. So, about 700 per dealership per day on average. The 1200 in one day is likely the max, which is typical for these kind of statements.

Yes, keep on reminding people how much better Canada is. And, unlike oil, this kind of better can’t be exported by invading.

This highlights a big problem that people ignore when they say they want government to be run like a business. A business is concerned with what’s best for them, not what’s best for the customer. And this is certainly what’s best for Musk, and likely not what’s best for the people.

I’m not sure of the availability guarantees, but Oracle and other cloud services have free tiers for low CPU/RAM/storage needs. If the availability guarantees are there, this could be an option. It works fine for FoundryVTT and hasn’t cost me anything for the last couple years, and I don’t imagine your projected needs would outstrip Foundry’s.
