    Someone tried explaining to me that it’s a visual system because that’s how humans operate vehicles. Nevermind the 50k dead and 150k injured on US roads annually

    > The probe covers 2016-2024 Model S and X vehicles with the optional system as well as 2017-2024 Model 3, 2020-2024 Model Y, and 2023-2024 Cybertruck vehicles. > Tesla's "camera-only" approach to partially and fully autonomous driving systems, some industry experts have said, could cause issues in low-visibility conditions as the vehicles do not have a set of back-up sensors. > > "Weather conditions can impact the camera's ability to see things and I think the regulatory environment will certainly weigh in on this," said Jeff Schuster, vice president at GlobalData.

    I’ve had some luck getting tickets from the venue directly. It doesn’t always work since I think some venues still just use Ticketmaster even when you’re buying in person.

    The cop aspect is a significant part of the commentary but also a plot device to put you in the situation to examine circumstances that you as a character would otherwise not be involved in.

    I see. even if the term itself wasn't created to be racist (at least the direct evidence for use against black and enslaved people isn't certain) the use of "black" in the context especially vs "white" reinforces existing racial hierarchies

    edit: moreover it was used against labor and is basically a bourgeois term

    I feel like I saw this happen in real time 4 years ago when Bernie dropped out and all of the ads were targeted at so-called “Reagan republicans.” The Dems outside of like GA courted suburban whites with their “law and order” and the adults are back in the room rhetoric

  • I remember reading or watching something that I can no longer find about how US public education creates a *false economy* for its students by its use of numeric grades which they accumulate throughout their schooling and how these grades are a kind of currency exchanged for being "good students." I don't know if "false economy" is the correct term though. The [wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_economy) says: > a false economy or hallucinated economy is an action that does save money at the beginning but which, over a longer period of time, results in more money being spent or wasted than being saved. But this is more about *economizing* as opposed to a broader concept of "fake" economy with a fake currency that incentivizes certain behaviors over others. Perhaps these are short-term over long-term behaviors (like in the wiki above) or that the grades can only measure limited aspects of students performance but are a reification of subjective performance into absolute worth or like [Goodhart's law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law) the grades are a key performance indicator (KPI) and don't actually measure what they should be measuring. The topic itself isn't strictly about education and can applied more broadly. Does anyone know if there is a better term or if I'm off base and completely wrong?

    CW: dairy and other potential animal products I didn't have prepackaged smoked tofu so I made a marinade with a little rice vinegar, soy sauce, olive oil and liquid smoke and let the extra firm tofu marinate in the fridge while I went for a jog (about 45 minutes). Next I heated up a cast iron skillet, added some butter (I didn't have vegan on hand today) and when that was nice and hot, I added thin slices of my marinated tofu and let it do it's thing. I sprinkled some montreal steak seasoning on top while it was cooking. Then I thinly sliced some red onion and toasted a couple of burger buns and slathered on some mayo. Once the tofu was done (this was a pure guess as I eyeballed literally everything about this) I scooped it onto the buns and topped with the onions. The video has cooked onions too but I only used raw and it was so fucking good. The result was so amazing and honestly incredibly easy and cheap. It tasted deli quality and took all of 15 minutes of prep and cooking for about 2 large / 4 normal portions for what was maybe $4 in ingredients.
