It's just modeling humans. I was only a lab TA for two semesters, and I caught so many fake data sets.

Ok. I'm also not crazy.

I've lived in my area in zone 7b since 2002 (old scale). That's single digits ~ half of years.

It hasn't gotten that cold since I've moved here.

If anyone of a sufficient age denies climate change, I think they're delusional.

This is not something that can only be determined through sensitive statistics. It's affecting our day to day lives.

Nothing would happen. You blink for a fraction of a second.

Also, note that the eyelids of people with darker skin already pass less light than those of people with lighter skin. (That is the purpose of darker skin)

I'm thinking you are agreeing with me on every thing I said, and I have made no such impossible request. I've already linked to the nhtsa which is charged with this, and I'm sure that there is something similar in the eu.

Jd is bad. Maybe you don't agree that CR is, but that's minor.

Tesla's reliability is the topic at hand. That was my introductory statement.

Per the fires, that's exactly what I meant. I've seen enough burning cars and had my other calls recalled. That's just not news. It's news when an EV does that.

A legacy industry funded advertising group is criticizing the disruptive novel EV companies. All of them, lucid, rivian, and polestar plus tesla.

I'm shocked.

I have yet to see any believable evidence that there is any excessive reliability problems with Tesla cars. And don't try to cite consumer reports. They lost my business after they wouldn't stop recommending Samsung products.

We have lemon laws for a reason. Because lots of cars are lemons. You are just only hearing about it because every car fire or trim problem or excessive repair needs on a Tesla is a news story that you recall. There are many similar phenomena that are at play here. Start with the availability hueristic if you're interested.

I've seen lots of lemons in my life. My parents car blew a transmission right away. So many car fires on the side of the road, and I bet you don't even know that Hyundai and Kia owners are being advised to park outside because there's a high risk of fire. That's really bad. If your ice catches fire when it's parked and off, that's a serious design flaw.

I'm hoping most of big tech and media get broken up

It's just hope though.

When I made my comment this morning (say 12 hours ago), the one I replied to was negative 2, iirc.

Why on earth would people down vote this?

It's the same gas, and it is dangerous. Not as dangerous as actually inhaling smoke or cooking over a wood fire, but a bit dangerous.

All combustion products, including the ones that are created when you cook food on an electric stove, have a camp fire, or are passed by an ICE car are.

Natural gas does burn pretty cleanly. It does doesn't burn completely into CO2 and water. Other stuff is created too.

 

The paper shows some significant evidence that human coin flips are not as fair as I would have expected (plus probably a bunch of people would agree with me). There's always some probability that this happened by chance, but this is pretty low.

Of course, we should be able to build a really accurate coin flipping machine, but I never would have expected such a bias for human flippers.

This is why science is awesome and challenging your ideas is important.

Edit: hopefully this is not too wrong a place, but Lemmy is small, and I didn't know where else I could share such an exciting finding.

 

My child just started kindergarten. As far as I can tell, it's wonderful and is the best place for him.

We're just... people of means. We've saved a lot of money compared to the private schools we were considering.

I just don't want this to be inappropriate. We'll give to all the standard pta / school fundraisers and already do the wishlist and extra school supplies requests.

I'm still selfish. I do want plenty of it to benefit my child. Appropriately though.

I just also want to make sure that the (kindergarten) teachers can get pizza and beer or whatever without it seeming like bribery.
