Yes this is a problem with some people. The justified confidence they display when discoursing on topics within their domain of expertise continues to be displayed even when that confidence is unjustified when speculating or guessing or misremembering on topics well outside their area of...

From the Bret Stephens article “Terms like “precision weapons” can foster the notion that it’s possible for modern militaries to hit only intended targets. But that’s a fantasy, especially against enemies like Hamas, whose method is to fight and hide among the innocent so that it may be...

You claim that “Israel shouldn’t suppress people” alluding, without any detail, the Israel was suppressing/oppressing Muslims or Palestinians in some way and that justified the Palestinian rape jihad on October 7. I gave detailed facts that Israel does not suppress/oppress Muslims and...

Female muslims, gay muslims, and former Muslims thrive and prosper in Israel, but are “suppressed” (beheaded, treated as property, and thrown from rooftops) in Gaza and West Bank by jihadist theocratic barbarians. Israel is an island of democracy, pluralism, tolerance, and basic moral decency...

Facts: zooming in: further zooming in: “It should be noted that Hamas has been operating in this area since October 7,” Hagari says, showing another image showing Hamas rocket launchers 43 meters from the targeted site. “Hamas fired rockets from these launchers at Israel during the...

War is messy. People who don’t like the messiness of wars shouldn’t start them. Meanwhile Israel tries to minimize civilian casualty while still trying to be effective against Hamas who tries to maximize civilian causalities by hiding their weapons, their attack positions, and themselves, among...

Cravath has been their counsel on this all along. There is no recent turning to them. Independence is often never crystal clear, which is why the NASDAQ rules defer to the Board to make their own determinations, but the board’s application of independence guidelines from NASDAQ, SEC and...

The Cravath law firm legal briefing for the appeal will have plenty of argument on this point, and it is likely to be successful. Until then, this judge was way out of line in that: 1. she applied law that applies to company transforming change-of-control transactions, not mere compensation...

That makes sense — and notice that the cost to Russia of the drone shot down is irrelevant to the part that makes sense. It’s all about the allocation of limited resources to get the best return on the investment of those resources.

Yeah! I wish Elon would just limit himself to what all the “Smart CEOs” do! https://www.freep.com/in-depth/money/cars/general-motors/2022/06/03/gm-ceo-mary-barra-reveals-personal-details-rare-interview/9705679002/

The cost of an adversary’s drone or other weapon is irrelevant. What matters is the damage any particular drone/weapon can do. If a cheap weapon is on track to cause $1 million worth of damage/loss, while an expensive weapon will cause only $1,000 of damage, take down the cheap weapon. What you...

Looks like just Sheetz, Wendy’s and a Porsche dealer are walkable

What are all the walkable food options from here? Anything with waiter service?

Might be a long delay Someone tried to smuggle two Tesla Cybertrucks into Russia

parts of an essay from Sam Harris is appropriate at this point: https://www.samharris.org/blog/what-is-islamophobia Honestly criticizing the doctrine of Islam does not entail bigotry against Arabs or any other group of people. It is not an expression of hatred to notice that specific Islamic...

Well that YouTube video settles it. QED

There is definitely supercharger staff and most especially in the servicing team for existing superchargers and third party access. You can’t believe every headline that you read.

Mainstream Christians and Jews will openly criticize and police their extremist versions, which remain relatively rare and comparatively harmless. Mainstream Muslims refuse to police their extremist versions, which are active and very harmful. Few Muslims or former Muslims will speak out...

come back in a year and let’s see. It’s obvious to me how it will happen (increased productivity from smaller staff) but I get that others will refuse to see it.

consider setting aside everything you read on Twitter or in any other media. Including Elons own words. yes, exactly. Form your main opinion of the company and it’s leadership based on its products and services and your direct interactions with the products, services and if you do interact with...

That is not inconsistent with applicable international law. Summarized below: 1. Are armed forces permitted to attack civilians under international law? Armed forces must distinguish between civilians and combatants. Attacks targeting civilians are prohibited. However, attacks targeting enemy...

And in case some of us need a reminder: the full video is available at this link. https://www.screamsbeforesilence.com/

Make, or cite to, one. No. No. That isn’t remotely how the principal of proportionality works. The law is somewhat, but not hugely, complex. Read up on the details of the law. Other links I have posted in this thread have the details. What’s the point? On a happier note, here is a good...

Based on what exactly and precisely? Either based on international law or compared to similar violations by Hamas? Also, always always keep in mind, all Hamas has to do it release the kidnapped innocents, and not use civilians as shields. OR Gazans could themselves implement a leadership...

I agree with you 100%. But try history and rules of international war. Start here, and many of the other links I have posted in this thread What International Law Has to Say About the Israel-Hamas War and as the sat images show, dug by Hamas: see above tweet thread and read the article...

What’s another group that stole aid from the most needy in their population and used it instead to fatten themselves to terrorize a peaceful music festival and coop farms that pose no threat to them, and videotape themselves raping and pillaging and take back innocents as hostages? In the...

I have the old pads in both a plaid s and a plaid x and have stopped both from the very highest speeds multiple times and there was no problem. I never even triggered the brake warning light on the S after multiple stops and I did trigger the warning light on the Model x but in both cases never...

No mention of returning hostages or bringing justice to the rape jihadists that are still at large, and demand “if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.” And they again deny that they targeted any civilians on October 7. Delusional barbaric jihadists are...

Israel does comply. And no pimply keffiyeh wearer ever comprehends that it is Hamas and it followers that is violating International Humanitarian Law. For your education: What is Israel doing to respect International Humanitarian Law in Gaza? Under International Humanitarian Law, Israel is...

Not bothering. No significant benefit to tread life, possible harm to handling and identifying suspension problems. BMW and Volvo and Carguys recommend against it. Just leave it or just swap summer and winter tires.

plenty of precedent for this being done. List of deposed politicians - Wikipedia If the Gazans would put the energy and resources they currently commit to digging tunnels and planning for rape jihad, they could have easily replaced Hamas with a political leadership to develop their barren...

Yes and shame on the Germans for not replacing Hitler, one way or another. They paid a steep price. And shame on the Gazans for supporting and participating in the Hamas led rape jihad. They will pay a similar price. If they were a decent people they would replace Hamas and educate their...

During the long ceasefire and full withdrawal from Gaza, Israel gave jobs to Gazans but then the gazans and their leaders violate the ceasefire , violate the borders to commit rape jihad on music festivals and communal farms. They now suffer the consequences for their poor choices. Indeed...

Good thing Romania can just get to their own docks directly on the Black Sea without going through Turkish straits.

More likely it just doesn’t fit into their world view of dividing up the world into oppressor / colonizer and oppressed / natives. The latter world view is really just another religion, another myth, that groups tell themselves to give themselves an identity and to help them process and simplify...

“ but a Vatican spokesman said the pope meant “cease-fire and negotiation.” https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/09/world/europe/pope-ukraine-white-flag.html

The better grenade pin analogy does have to get 80 year old history laughably wrong. The better grenade analogy is: When the rape jihadist violated the existing peacetime and killed and burned the civilian inhabitants on October 7, 2023 in the Music festivals and farms, that's the moment the...

Sadly I believe Fact Checking left this forum. Does anyone know if he is on Twitter or elsewhere? was he one of the ones who got disgusted, sold out, missed the stock gains? I vaguely recall it might have been him.

It’s location specific. And the hardware changes all the time. keep trying. I recall, around late 2022, I was in the garage and FWDs wouldn’t open all the way. There was some combination of a message on the screen, with an option to change something, that fixed it. It gave me that option in low...

There’s a setting to override and tell it to always fully open up in a location. Did you try that? It worked for me: sensor was detecting the garage door opener track and hardware and was too cautious but the override setting fixed it just fine

an excellent summary of the state of affairs:

I've been to Moscow multiple times, as well as some of the largest Russian cities outside Moscow/St. Petersburg -- there is a huge difference. Moscow is/was pretty darn nice (at least ~10 years ago). I remember good restaurants, good hotels, educated people, a surprisingly good vibe. It was...

I started listening to the Tucker Interview, but quickly skipped the history and looked for the part where Tucker asked Putin about the WSJ reporter. I thought it was a fair attempt to ask a hard question, while still insuring that he and his crew were likely to get out of Russia alive and that...

What law obligates POTUS to tell the public what the consequences are or will be within 2 days of the death?

Is there a single QuickJack system that will work for a Model S/X, 3/Y and a Mazda Miata?

Here’s a better answer: Just say its like charging your phone: 99% of the time it is overnight I don’t think about it for more than a few seconds to plug it in, and I start the day with a neraly full tank that easily takes me through the full day. During road trips I might have to stop at a...

Before Tesla, except for Saturn (no haggle pricing!), I didn’t think anyone, including the dealers, paid any attention to MSRP — it was all about how much above or below “invoice” you paid. Except that there were many OEM programs allowed dealers to say that they were selling “below invoice”...
