Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this? in c/[email protected]

  • An overly simplistic/naive view of the world. (Not sure what they expect here? Stopping weapons and technology transfer? Maybe the US going to war with Israel to stop the Gaza atrocities? Or are they just expecting something symbolic? If Harris publicly denounced Israel's actions, would that be enough?)
  • Thinking that the US President has more power than they do in reality (Congress and the Courts, checks and balances)
  • Some logical fallacies they've convinced themselves into believing. False Dilemma Fallacy maybe? https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/common-logical-fallacies

My doctor recommended a pre-emptive supository for the inevitable constipation tho.

You just blew my mind, I don't even need an adapter. My drill fits exactly to the Kaldi burr grinder I have lying around unused.

Automatic emergency braking is getting better at preventing crashes in c/[email protected]

Audi Pre-Sense was the worst offender. Looks like many others have similar experiences even this year:

I had a Nissan after that that implemented it a lot better, never any slam the brakes events. It would warn you with a beep and apply light braking first.

Agree with the automakers that the tech isn't ready.

The article doesn't mention how many times these cars slammed the brakes in false positive situations.

The cars I've driven with this are too conservative with braking in a lot of common scenarios like driving curvy mountain roads, or parallel parking in the city near pedestrians or taxis. I've had it brake multiple times in normal driving scenarios wtirh false positives.

The car takes over and decides to full stop immediately, almost causing me to be rear ended multiple times. Eventually the dealership turned off the feature, but only after multiple complaints from customers and media attention.

I vowed to never get another car with this system because of how bad the experience is. But looks like that may be an option only with used cars, due to the bew mandates.

How do you eat/hit your protein goals every day? in c/[email protected]

Maybe try eating 4-5 smaller meals a day? "Grazing" rather than large filling meals
