Can you enlighten us? From what I recall, the extent of that "controversy" was that Obama's tan suit wasn't solemn enough to wear to a conference about war.

This is definitely not true. Teslas can absolutely go through a car wash. They do recommend touchless ones, but pretty much every manufacturer does.

Yeah man. People love to bash Elon and rightfully so. I live in Southern California, I drive a Tesla and a lot of my friends do also. I used to travel a lot for work, and would regularly rent nice cars for weeks on end. My Tesla is the car I've enjoyed most ever, and it's not really even close.

Yeah it has problems. But what car doesn't? Nothing is perfect. But for me, the features that Teslas have check all the boxes in a really novel and enjoyable way.

It's called voir dire, and it's more complicated than that. For a case this size the counsels will likely have done focus groups to see what traits, etc. tend to test well against the client. So yes, they are theoretically screening for biases, but the selection is ultimately up to both councils, so it's a balancing act of stacking the jury in your favor.

When you describe it like that... I feel like it makes more sense. Like, of course the penguin is gonna want his safety stones. I buy that.

Is this real? I know nothing about cruises, that seems so insane and yet so... Practical.

Do you find yourself having to think about "optimal use" of the house? Or can you just live your life as you would have prior to ownership and reap the benefits of the engineering?

How did you make that work? I'd love to keep opening baconreader, if only superficially... It's been 11 years.

I won't link it because it's a reddit link. But there's damning footage of large pixel circles of white or random colors spreading at the same instant, in a way that wouldn't be possible by regular users. And these pixels don't have an attached username, it's like the canvas has been totally reset. Bots would show a new username.

I was in like 3rd grade, the word was passed on to us in real time but I didn't really understand what had happened until later.

Also this is a clever way to get a feel for the distribution of ages of Lemmy users... I like it.
