It's not fine print yo. When you go to use it, the "(supervised)" bit is always on the same line and there are gratuitous warnings. The only people who don't know it has limitations are people reading about accidents in the news. People have been trying to circumvent the rules since plain old autopilot was out with water bottles taped to steering wheels, and when you break the rules you're not entitled to sympathy.

Anyone saying accidents are because Tesla is making false statements has never owned one and are talking out of their ass. You have to navigate at least 3 menus to just ENABLE these features and all of them say "you gotta pay attention".

When it comes to buying one? Sure, let's say false advertising. When it comes to accidents, that is willfully not acknowledging warnings.

Let me google that for you:

  • Tesla vehicles have had a fire rate of one for every 175 million miles traveled, compared to the U.S. average of a vehicle fire for every 19 million miles traveled.
  • According to the National Fire Protection Association, Tesla’s fire rate is significantly lower than the national average, with one fire per 170 million miles driven.
  • A study by the University of Berkeley found that electric vehicle fires, including Tesla, occurred at a rate of 4 per billion miles, which is significantly lower than gasoline vehicles.

Anything else I can type in your search engine?

Naw I already said Tesla sucks all through the thread. I'm sad someone says "Tesla accident" and you all swarm to it to gloat like your kid finally graduated special Ed. No shit accidents happen, but wheres the same offense when any other brand has a fuck up? It's nowhere because smarmy lemurs are only watching tesla news.

I bet if your house slides in the water anyone inside may well die. You gonna move? If not, why? If it's because it doesn't seem probable, then revisit your comment to me. Half of one percent of probability is not "basic things that save lives", that would be seat belts, air bags, windshield wipers, a horn, etc. etc.

Musk IS a con artist. It also says full self driving is supervised only. If you can't read, well, life is gonna be hard for you.

Oh look, the hilarious consequences of our own actions. Hey pensioners, I hope this was what you had in mind if you voted R!

Didn't we just do a medical shortage like this? Have we not learned how to diversify?

Probably every vehicle has some number of stupid deaths. I assume you don't fly because Boeing fucked up. That's way more than 83 people if just one plane crashes.

It's just way cooler to shit on Tesla though. Very trendy. Very cool.

0.052% (232 / 443,956) fire rate.

Comparison to Industry Average: For context, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports an average fire rate of 1.5 crashes per million miles for all vehicles. Tesla’s fire rate of 0.052% (based on the reported 232 fires) is significantly lower than this industry average.

But it's not very cool to do research that way shrug

They were the only reasonable EV option for several years. They still have the best available charging network if any EV.

I'm not selling a car that is paid off bc the owner of the company stopped hiding that he's obvious trash.

So black folks, brown folks, Hispanics, etc go ahead and vote for trump. Fuck around and find out. DNC sucks balls, but if you can't vote minimally in your own interests you're about to get what's coming to you. Sorry about ya, the writing is on the wall.

My Indiana coastal elite D voting ass is not spending any more time or energy saving morons from their own vote.

Body shaving for ladies? (self.wetshaving)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by dream_weasel to c/[email protected]
 

So I've been wet shaving a long time and I'm pretty handy with a DE razor, a half hollow straight, and a shavette, but I'm at a loss for this one...

My wife is getting laser hair removal for several areas including Brazilian, and there are sone places she just can't shave. Apparently a wax is no good because they are basically destroying the hair root and follicle and it targets the melanin?

So, to the point, my wife took a shower today and did her best, then I took a quick shot with my adjustable DE, but the results were... not so good. I think this may be a shavette problem for control, but I gotta see what I'm doing so a thick soap lather cushion is out. Also there's some delicate contouring obviously which is pretty different from my leathery flat face.

The treatments are kinda pricey so it's important to get a clean shave, and anything she can't do is basically the most important stuff to zap... But I figure the first time I cut her or leave a nick I'm out. I gotta figure out the... uh... Front door back door problems because those are just not flat areas and the risk of failure or accident seems high.

Anybody got experience? Or ideas? Water-based lubricant was pretty decent (the third thing I tried) to help the shave, but tools and materials seem like important choices to make.

Edit: Mods I'd mark NSFW but idk how to do it. This is like my 3rd lemmy post ever.

 

I have been using the Kasa (TP-Link) branded smart switches around my house, but now that I have a few third reality zigbee sensors for my doors and so on, I am seeing the value of using more outlets/switches that act as zigbee repeaters. Do any of you have pretty reasonable (and cheapish) smart light switches or outlets I can invest in? The Amazon offerings are in the $50 each one which is pretty steep, though I guess I could just do one each room and do the rest with Kasa stuff.

I would like to expand the zigbee mesh network so I can use the devices where I actually want them without using smart outlet devices plugged into real outlets all over the place. If there was something that was $20 or less each item that would be super excellent. The wife and I plan to move in the not too distant future and I'd like to replace the "in the wall" stuff so that HA works throughout the house and I don't have plugs / dongles / wall warts all over the place.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

 

Really enjoying nvim-dap-ui lately, but I always have to adjust the sizes of the windows. The docs have left me high and dry so far, but maybe one of you have a good solution for a consistent layout when you first attach to a file?

 

I saw a post of the guy doing NFC to get various disney+ and Netflix shows. I've installed an integration with ADB... and have no idea how to proceed. Any of you have yaml snippets I can steal to that end?

I really want to be able to turn on the lights, turn on the TV, and start cocomelon for my daughter on Netflix in the basement as a one stop script, but I apparently am not smart enough.

The other guy link is in Reddit so I'm not going to link it but it is really easy to find on Google: an NFC card system for Netflix.

Thanks!
