TPB is fine if you’re cautious and just download video/audio. I’m in a bunch of private trackers but still use it occasionally since it can have old and obscure stuff occasionally since the site is so old.

It should also be obvious in your torrent client as it will be listed there with the full file name.

Not entirely a ‘car accident’ but I was driving down the interstate and narrowly dodged a shovel head (the handle had broken off) sitting in the far left passing lane in a construction zone. The car behind me hit it and I watched in my rear view mirror as it flew up in the air and traveled all the way over to the right side travel lane and fucking demolished the windshield of a car. I was expecting the car to jerk and swerve from the driver freaking out from this object falling out of the sky right into their windshield, but they just very calmly merged to the shoulder and stopped.

The other one was me barely missing an empty pallet sitting in the middle of my lane when it was dark out and seeing the headlights of the car tailgating behind me do a complete 360 as they tried to dodge it. If they’d left a little more room between us they probably could have followed my lead and drove around in, but their short following distance left no time for them to react.

Definitely not as well but you can still use them. Cars didn’t even have vacuum assisted brakes up into the 1960s and 1970s

The brake pedal.

I think they’re talking about the new Hummer EV.

A vehicle shutting down in the middle of the freeway can easily cause multiple accidents.

but the observed pattern does 100% apply to other things.

Sure, if you retroactively go back and look for patterns where it matches something but that isn’t a very useful exercise.

There aren’t. Mercedes system only works in two states on freeways during the daytime on sunny days at speeds below 40MPH with clearly marked lines and no construction. There are so many qualifiers that it’s basically useless outside of the attention grabbing headlines.

Which can be a failure in itself when you spend 10 years and tens of billions building something “perfectly” only for it to break on its maiden voyage. That makes you wonder what was the point of doing everything so methodically when they could have taken a more efficient and iterative approach.

What if it executes and install Windows 11 on your machine!?

Third-party ECUs are already wildly popular items (Holley Sniper and Terminator along with less popular third-party products).

Also, your car being an automatic isn’t the difficult part of the conversion, having to fabricate the parts to adapt the drivetrain and battery are.

Edison is working with Deboss Garage (youtube) to build electric and hybrid electric conversions for passenger trucks too.

The 80s famously didn’t have any muscle cars due to the gas shortages of the 1970s, new emissions standards, and burgeoning popularity of Japanese imports.

They have a $25B yearly budget.

What is SpaceX spending on R&D? From what I’ve read, Starship is estimated to cost $10B for development and their R&D budget for 2023 was $1.5B. If NASA was going to build something similar themselves, they’ve had nearly 70 years and hundreds of billions to accomplish it.

In reality their budget goes toward companies like Boeing, Northrop Grummon, and Lockheed Martin, who then pocket it and build substandard equipment. This is all public information so I can’t imagine why people are downvoting other than being extremely emotional for some inexplicable reason.

NASA farms these out to outside companies to build anyway, as seen with the latest Boeing space fiasco, so I don’t necessarily believe this to be true. These defense contractors seem to be interested in little more than milking the US government for all they’re worth.

It also screws with post sorting on the front page since Lemmy still doesn’t have a high enough rate of new posts/comments.

I choose death!

Jesus, I thought this was the other post, “Whats your favorite movie of all time?” and I was judging the shit out of you for this list.

That doesn’t sound like a Firefox issue.
