Yeah, it’s probably one of the best out there. I don’t love that with their newest pump it’s 100% phone controlled (literally no screen on the device) but there is no way in fuck I am ever trying a Medtronic pump again. Had one for a day because my insurance wouldn’t cover a new tandem pump. It was such a piece of shit

Yeah there is a reason recumbent bikes have giant flags on the back. No one can see you that low. Especially with the newest giant monstrosities on the road

I’d rather be a pedestrian on the same road as the Mercedes than be a pedestrian within a mile of the Tesla

I had a landlord who had to go through this for the newest ford gt. He did have enough of a social media presence and had to add his son to the application.

There were all kinds of requirements and restrictions to owning the car

I wonder how well their cars work when the Tesla servers go offline

You aren’t taking into account the resources required to train the model. You clearly have very little idea how much goes into it other than running software someone else wrote.

It’s not nearly as small as you think it is.

Generating 1,000 images with a powerful AI model, such as Stable Diffusion XL, is responsible for roughly as much carbon dioxide as driving the equivalent of 4.1 miles in an average gasoline-powered car.
