If we’re talking about the radar+cameras, it’s about $30-40 each. Not insignificant, but for basic AEB it’s a small price for something that massively reduces collisions

Also them removing radar, which while having its own flaws (as does LIDAR), is a great compliment to cameras and is the industry standard for a reason.

I mean, given all the claims on the right over the “Pedo Pizza” restaurant, maybe it is appropriate…

It’s not that he paid them directly, but Twitter has a monetization feature for blue-check accounts where you can effectively get paid for engagement farming.

It’s all projection. You know for a fact he’d love to spray paint “WHITES RULE” on a black family’s home.

Why in the world would anyone hog tie someone like that and then write shit about trump on her?

For the same reason these people think that someone would Sharpie “FUCK ICE” onto a clip of bullets after killing only detainees at an ICE facility, and then just plop it on the ground.

Well, and the fear their husband will abuse them if they find out how they voted…

Except in North America, where a huge focus is on trucks. Just look at how some dipshit chud in Twitter got them to scrub a ton of their LGBT and DEI stuff by posting about their “woke” trucks when their did a pride flag Tacoma. They desperately want to take that market share as it’s far, far more profitable than stuff like the Camry.

Pulls out the laminated card with the Romeo and Juliette law printed on it “UM ACKSHUALLY”

Thanks! I wish the new job and transition were the only things I had to deal with, because it’s been one hell of a year, but I’ve managed alright.

I genuinely wouldn’t worry too much about it. I only say that to expect it might make things a bit trickier and have more grace with them making mistakes.

Not going to lie, I was actually super anxious when they sent that out because my immediate thought absolutely was “Shit, they had to do training because of me…”

Huge kudos to the training though, because it literally was just a 5-10 minute online training that explained gender/gender identity in a really clear way, how it was different than sexuality, etc. and wasn’t preachy or anything else.

My egg fully cracked the week I started a new job (just hit my 1 year anniversary too!), which was definitely a fun time to come to terms with it. But I realized really quickly that the longer I waited the harder it was going to be, especially after realizing just how painful it was to have to “put the shell back on” in a sense when going into work. I came out right after our holiday shutdown, spoke with my HR Rep about the situation, and it was honestly not an issue whatsoever. Their biggest concern was if I was changing my name, but that was about it. They sent out a really basic email to the team and suppliers I work with basically saying “Your colleague hovercat is transitioning and will be going by she/her pronouns.” and that was basically it. It was quickly discussed in the team meeting, they sent everyone a training on gender identity, and that was it. I’ve not had any real negative reactions with anyone yet, and it’s so, so nice getting to just be myself.

There’s another trans girl I work with who I also asked for advice, who transitioned after being at the company for a while, and it seemed that almost all of the friction she’s had was from old teammates that knew her pre-transition. They were the main ones that caused any issues, and seems to be the story I hear quite often of people taking way more issue with the actual transition rather than the person being trans.

I know it’s really scary, but from a lot of the experiences I’ve seen, it seems far better to just bite the bullet and go for it. Waiting only makes things worse.

I had allergy testing done and where they do the little scrapes on your back of all the various allergens, they also do one that’s pure histamine as a control. You can kinda feel each area based on the reaction, some are a little itchy, but the grass area felt like a heat gun on my skin. It was insanely itchy and painful and explained why my face almost swelled shut when I rolled down a hill as a kid. It’s very not fun, especially if you have to be out and about during the summer months with people mowing. Fortunately, I got a treatment of allergy shots and it helped immensely.

Pretty much. I had really good horse meat sashimi in Japan and it tasted pretty much identical to elk or deer. It was tasty, but not something I’d feel like going out of my way for.

Fortunately/unfortunately, they didn’t get bought by Amazon. I only say unfortunately because they made a lot of business decisions expecting it to go through, and when it didn’t, has caused them a ton of trouble. They seem to be hanging in there pretty well and this current gen of bots seems to be pretty solid. I’ve had iR stuff for over 20 years now and have generally only had good experiences, so they’re still my go-to.

I just bought one of the new 705s that has LIDAR and it’s been pretty fantastic. Most of their new lineup has LIDAR now and it’s been pretty good compared to my old j7’s vSLAM. I’m really not a fan of them being app based and hope that they’ll eventually work with Valetudo, but with 2 huskies and cats I just really don’t want to have to manually vacuum every single day.

Slowly? It’s been less than a year…

They actually changed it slightly because the original name, “Program for Evolutionary Dynamics and Operations”, was a bit too on the nose.

Well, they’re scared, but also the admin doesn’t want the identities to be revealed and shown that like 90% of ICE was probably recruited straight from known neo-nazi/white nationalist groups like the Proud Boys
