I’ll never buy a new car again unless I can just order it and pick it up like anything else.


The Tesla buying experience is this right now.

You can order through your phone, enter limited info proof of insurance, get approved for financing in minutes all through their app if wanted, then they give you the VIN number after a few days.

Set the delivery date once it arrives at the store. Walk in, show them the app, they take you to the car and answer any questions you have, and you drive away. It was astonishingly hassle free.

Same with the test drive. Zero pressure to buy. Full hour with the car.

Can't recommend enough based on the buy process alone.

She lied over and over again to those professionals. They can only go one what they tell her.


She was actually really open about the majority of the time with them.

They just didn't do their due diligence which contributed to the murders. And the drug mixing they prescribed and recommended (OTC) very likely contributed as well.

I don't believe she should be free(and likely won't be), but there's a reason for NGRI and this is likely a good example of it.

Sorry. Cant convince me otherwise. What do you know specifically that proves he is innocent.


The prosecution and defense both stipulated that she did it.

I'd say that's pretty specific.

Spoke to some young bartenders yesterday. They weren’t totally defending her but they felt sorry for her or thought she belongs in a psychiatric facility instead of jail. It was crazy.


That's likely what's going to happen.

Appreciate the info. We both live in Ohio.

I don't believe it is street legal.

This would be in Ohio so that I believe would require a state law change, but I haven't delved further.

I don't mind paying a little to set up the trust which may even be best long term for passing it along after death.

This would be a Christmas "gift" so I'll be likely holding off anyway.
I'm seeing online that stock 10/22s don't cycle subsonic ammo well, is that true?

Does adding a different spring help?

Anyone have experience with the new 10/22 SBR? Would the 8 or even 10 inch barrel shoot standard ammunition subsonic?

Want to set up a trust for my father in law and I to put it in.

Any suggestions or advice would be helpful.

This. So freaking good.


For an old comedy, I think this holds up pretty well.

Only one of these is true.

We preach safety but the "drag net" surveillance is absolutely a violation of the fourth amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. This is gonna end up in the Supreme Court because apparently the last time it didnt sink in.


My understanding is that appellate courts have held they are constitutional so long as there is no long term retention of the data to create profiles for each plate.

I agree that would be a significant over reach and absolutely unconstitutional. I don't know how long flock retains their data and how their system compiles it.

I’m not quite sure if I’ll ever buy another vehicle without some sort of FSD.


I don't think it'll be an option sooner than later.
The human should be required to verify the tag manually before triggering the stop, I 100% agree with that.
The officer is likely required to also run the plate. That was the entire basis of my post.
quote:

Is it? What's the error rate in the officer scenario currently? (genuinely asking, I don't know).


I assume officers run the plates separately once they find it before engaging in the stop, no?
This isn't a pro or anti flock post, but what's the difference between a patrol officer running a plate and getting a false positive and one triggered by a flock camera. It's the same result.

Your friend lied to you. You can cancel the software update at any point in time, and continue your drive.


If we're talking Tesla, it also doesn't update without wifi.


But per Tesla's website:

Can I cancel a software update once it begins? How do I resume when I am ready?

You cannot cancel a software update once it has started the install phase.
