laughable.. Musk really out here begging for gov welfare and quarterly earnings calls

Musk/Boring would be paying for it, with the intention of making profit over time via tolls/"cab fare".

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills with the PT debate. He and Kamara are top 2 for me. PT was insanely efficient, he just never had the volume to be considered an elite player. Prime Kamara was the best, though.

We lost our "got dat dawg in dem" players. I don't care how shitty we would be (realistically, we wouldn't win many games), but a team with
Fears
Jose
Herb
Naji
Hart
Trey
Queen

would be fun, and the other 29 teams in the NBA would hate us. Naji/Hart/Jose would get on Fears and Queens's asses if they slack. Herb isn't as vocal, but his effort is infectious. That would be the most entertaining 30-35 win team that I can think of, maybe better if Fears makes a jump and Herb goes back to shooting 38%+ from deep.

I don’t get the allure of going to a beach with no people and just sitting out there all day… pretty boring if you ask me

---

That's exactly why I want to go to the beach. Quiet relaxation with limited crowds. I avoid the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach condos and opt for standalone homes in Fort Morgan, usually around mid-October to late-November. I'm OK with not getting into the water at all, but I always end up getting in there for a brief spell. I usually start to back out once the waves hit my balls, but sometimes get to nipple height.

I've never done Dauphin but they look like a nice, cheaper option. But the island doesn't have much of anything in the way of entertainment. Even during the offseason, Fort Morgan has more to do.

Good, maybe keep some of the trashy people out

Just because I do Zyn doesn't mean I'm trash. If I were to be ripping on a pair of 6's in a fancy French restaurant, I would discretely dispose of them in a napkin prior to eating or tasting wine. If napkins were not available, I would do the classy thing and swallow them (which may result in some limited coughing/gagging, but again, discrete). Worst case scenario and the food unexpectedly comes out after I just popped a fresh one, I'll sneak it behind my ear and put it back in my mouth at an appropriate and bourgeois time.

The guy on the right looked like a young Bill Cowher.

Not much useful info in this one aside from the list of the highest RAS score edge guys from the MAC:
-Heldmen
-Hendrickson
-Davenport
-Crosby

Saints have drafted 3 of them, and two are studs. Davenport may have been one if not for injuries. Regardless, that's good company to be in.

ETA: the only other things they really talk about is that the Saints gave Heldmen way more guaranteed money than we have been giving to defensive UDFAs in the past few years. No film review or anything. Not trying to shite on LA for posting it, the video is just 15 minutes when it could have been a tighter 5.

How many robotaxis are they developing?

This and Starlink I think are going to be his big moneymakers in the long run.

I got a new Model Y (Juniper) last year and I love it. And I'm not even a car guy. It's quiet, super smooth, has incredible acceleration. I love the tech in general (being able to use my phone as my "key", being able to "summon" it to me if needed).

But the main reason that I bought it was the full self driving, which has been... mixed. What it's capable of doing is insane. If it let me sit in the back seat and watch TV on the monitor, then most of my issues wouldn't be a big deal. But it takes some stupid arse routes. It waits until the last second to change lanes to turn onto streets/interstate exits, can't get into the lane it needs to, then has to go to the next street/exit and backtrack. That costs time. It drives like a bitch at stop signs (the government forces them to). It's incredible at seeing and reacting to things that the driver wouldn't be able to see or react to fast enough. It struggled with tailgaiting for a long time, but that has been fixed in the newest updates.

The biggest issue, though, is that there are simply some areas that the Teslas don't have sufficient cameras/view angles to properly handle. This is an absolutely awful interstate on-ramp near the Superdome:
LINK

It's horribly designed, with no space to merge, and awkward elevation changes + guardrails blocking your view. The first time FSD went this route, it flew through the yield sign without issue. I could not believe that it actually saw oncoming traffic that it merged into. The next time FSD brought me there, I took over, stopped at the yield sign (no one was behind me), and waited for someone to drive past me in the lane that it's merging into. I watched the screen (which shows everything the cameras see) as people in that lane drove past me. It could NOT see those vehicles. Even the newest Tesla vehicles ("Hardware 4") still need more cameras, particularly in the very front/sides of the vehicle, and also some cameras above the doors. It would cost more money, and the higher up cameras would look awkward, but they need it. Some sort of LIDAR antenna might work as well in lieu of the higher cameras. Either that, or the FSD needs to know which trouble spots (like the one I linked) to avoid.

There’s nothing more annoying and shitty than grifter “influencers”

They really are the worst of the worst. Even their reactions look fake.

---

I don't get it either, but I'm assuming that Disney has done the math and has verified that spending ~$5k per influencer to show them a good weekend results in some profit. Either that or they know that it's a money loser, but they don't care because they're still getting money from elsewhere to promote the message. But it's definitely not a math error.

Do whites have a right to exist? It’s an existential threat?

Yeah they do. That’s absurd. Nobody said otherwise.

Who is all up in their feels?

C’’mon Karen…

America was ~90% white as recently as the late 50's - early 60's. It's maybe 60% now. These Texas cities being overwhelmed with Indians is a much more recent occurrence. What are you confused about here? How am I a Karen for noticing? There are 1.5 billion Indians. There are ~350m Americans. If you move all Indians into America (who cares so long as it's legal immigration), then is America still America? Or is it India?
