They were testing FSD so I understand why they would do it. It also looked like roadkill and didn't expect it to be a hard obstacle.

If he used real numbers the tariffs would be so low that it wouldn't make any sense.

Apparently it is 34% on top of current 20%, bringing it to a total of 54%.

But who knows with these guys.

Fully agreed. Tariffs are one thing that Trump has always been clear about. He likes them, he sees them as beneficial and now that he has no brakes in this administration he is finally going to try and put them in place.

There is no 4D chess.

It's a big stick to point toward Iran.

Flying from Diego Garcia means they can takeoff without anyone reporting them inbound.

And number of dinosaurs found compared to number of individual dinosaurs that ever lived is staggeringly low.

The way I thought about it, you have to roll around the larger one and you have to roll around yourself (+1). So if they are two same size circles, it's 1 for the other and 1 for yourself. If the other one has 3 times bigger radius, it is 3 for the bigger one and 1 for yourself. Etc.

Not sure if it is mathematically accurate but it seemed to make sense to me.

This would mean that a lot of malaria related deaths are unaccounted for or that the vaccine is helping in another way.

The point is that they are getting updates, not because NASA paid 865 million in 1970s but because it is doing scientific work that no other spacecraft is able to do currently. If Voyager was orbiting around Earth it would get no updates at all, no matter how much NASA paid to get it into orbit.

So my point stands - if Voyager ran on an iPhone it would get those updates.

I think it's better to say - if your phone was 12 billion miles from Earth and used to send sensitive scientific data - it would get updates as well.

Yes but there is a much larger effect on gas oven suicides than overall.

Suicide prone population dying out would not cause one type of suicide to reduce in a much quicker rate - as is implied here.

WarMonitors is an incredibly bad source that continously posts misinformation and propaganda.

I follow Ukraine war closely and that is one of very few twitter accounts that I blocked - due to constant misinformation that they posted. This block happened months ago and had nothing to do with recent events. Even clear propaganda accounts are better than that guy. I'd love to find some example but this account posts so much that it is impossible to look up things from months ago.

I have a feeling that Musk was fed these two accounts by someone who he listens to - my guess is David Sacks as Sacks was much more active in Ukraine/Ru Twitter circles - and it would fit that one of his sources is unreliable WarMonitors.

sentdefender account I don't find as problematic.
