Surely having a physical steering wheel is a requirement otherwise they’d have already innovated with driving solutions before now.

It only seems to be a US only thing. I assume it’s because the military is such a big thing for the US where other countries just see having a military almost as a chore.

That’s a very British documentary as well isn’t it.

Lets just get a dead giraffe and cut it open in order to demonstrate something

That would never happen in the US there’d be too many complaints.

The most screwed up one is the octopus, for some reason that brains are below their mouths so the esophagus goes through their brain. If they eat something too big they can give themselves a concussion.

Yeah when he’s talking about debt he means small scale stuff like credit card debt. Basically you buy your groceries on your credit card rather than your debit card even though you could buy them on your debit card.

The reasoning being is that that way you get an extra month of interest before you have to pay out, and you get a good credit score since you always pay off your loans. Which weirdly is actually better than having no credit score at all because you’ve never had any debt.

Let’s think about the country and see if we can come up with any possible problems somebody might have with it.

Yes it’s in NATO but I’m pretty certain that NATO simply has them because they would prefer to have them inside pissing out.

There is a British financial advisor who basically says the same thing.

If you can actually manage debt make sure to get some. And then pay it off.

If you’re unmarried and have no descendants sure. Although you’re kind of screwing them over, these days, you dying is the only way your kids are ever going to be able to buy a house.

Honestly surprised the database hasn’t been hacked yet. It’s blackmail heaven for China.

My parents have brought a new car and the internet connection thing is super unreliable. It’ll say it’s in a dead zone when it’s just parked in the driveway and I have full signal bars on my phone.

Sometimes claims not to have a signal when it’s in the local supermarket car park and the supermarket car park literally has a cell tower in it.

Also they appear to be $1 bills so that’s the cheapest bribe anyone has ever taken.

They should just put 😉 at the end

Oh and the whole concept of an excess. So I have to pay to have my car insured but if the damage to my car is less than a certain amount I have to pay for it? What’s the point of the insurance then.

My car is probably worth less than the excess anyway so if it was a total write-off I’d get a maybe five hundred for it, and that’s it

I just think it’s bizarre that Magnetite is considered a rare mineral. It’s literally cheaper than lead

It’s actually just a convenient software update.

Download the update, start the engine, and run away

The dumb bit of the law is the fact that websites are allowed to put up an annoying banner that says either accept cookies or individually deselect 240 checkboxes.

Oh and the really really dumb cookie law.

An automotive lidar scanner is nothing compared to the price of a car. Yeah it’s more expensive than the one that’s in your phone but that’s not shocking they’re not going to put a really expensive one in your phone because it would exceed the value of the phone.

Although if you’ve got an iPhone that’s possibly not the case.

If I’m being so dense tell me why the companies aren’t using it.

You mean company singular. It’s literally only Tesla that don’t use lidar every other car manufacturer uses it. So the answer is because Elon wants to save every last single penny. There is no grand conspiracy here for you to uncover it is literally that Tesla are cheapskates.

And you are being deliberately dense because this has been explained to you ad infinitum and you still don’t seem to get it.

I imagine when he’s driving around his golf course he makes voom voom noises
