The issue to me is that this is focused on self-driving rather than broad traffic safety. Fuck all these megacorps, they shouldn't be trusted period. But pretending the issue with road safety is that waymos are uniquely dangerous is kinda wild.

I think so, something like a "contextually-weighted foot pulled from a distribution"

Or guy who hunts. There are 14 million+ hunters. Please consider the more likely options first. 200 yards isn't that far

I think the idea is that this act only *required* the accuracy and caliber of a standard hunting rifle without any "assault rifle like" features (semi auto, magazine size, short barrel, ect.), so proposed gun control rules wouldn't have prevented it.

I think this is a place where you apply Occam's razor. The US Military has generally around 3500 snipers at one time, maybe 1500 FBI swatt team members, maybe a couple thousand local PD swatt.
Approximately 5% of the US population hunts. What's more likely?

Please, link a real source, not AI slop. I'm interested if he actually did issue statements, but a Google AI summary is literally nothing.

I think it is also an excuse to downsize while allowing product quality to atrophy some acceptable amount. Executives saw Twitter get slashed and still vaguely operate and concluded they have massively overhired.

Oh man, Iwish they gave me a free option of checking my carry on and only taking a small backpack. But I'm not going to pay extra to check my bag. I gate check it all the time, it's just a stupid process :(

Republicans in oregon are attacking RCV for the same reason. I think they honestly hold the belief that their coalition only has a shot at winning with lots of incredibly dumb and sunsetting older voters.

The only thing with an app that I've bought recently and stand by is my Bluetooth OBD2 scanner. The app is free, doesn't require you to sign up or log in, and it has been helpful to parse through error codes and sensor snapshots.

Idk man, I think that's one of the coolest fucking cars you could drive. When a car is shitty/inconvenient/weird enough it becomes awesome. You gotta hit the ugly and bad but try hard-ing.
