At some point in the past 20 years, on average things stopped getting better and better all the time, and now things are getting worse and worse all the time.

If Abundance is to Democrats in 2028 the same way that White Fragility and How to be Anti-Racist were to Democrats in 2020, then we might be alright.

@AzChr1stian I've never played it, but aren't you just asking for Arma 3 or something?

@alexlmiller Is this a deep-dish wafer joke?

@JessePeltan So which energy CEO said that? I missed it.

@CalumDouglas1 Flew mostly against the Mossie in Aces High PC game, was a beast. I was assured its performance in the game was war-accurate. Its a great story.

@bruhther_fred @bradsferguson I think Tesla hate is baked into the population now and I like that Bradford mentions it.

[Fiver / Boildown @BoildownAH]

I think an unacknowledged variable for the Tesla rides is that people are going to have to specifically open a Tesla app that they already deliberately downloaded. Its not just going to be "I ordered an Uber and an unsupervised Tesla showed up". This is going to be a insurmountable barrier for the 30% of the population (number made up) that are against Elon's politics and know the connection to Tesla, but also a pretty large barrier against anyone who doesn't trust an unsupervised ride. Because they _know_ using the app they're getting an unsupervised ride, and with Uber/Lyft they're getting a human in the driver's seat.

So anyways, what is the marketshare that Waymo gets where its available? And how much does Waymo undercut to get that marketshare? Because I suspect you can use that number and multiply by .7 to get an estimate for Tesla's marketshare, assuming Tesla wants to price like Waymo does.

@ralphater @LucyPyre_ This is your vibe.

@JeremiahDJohns @LinkofSunshine I guess it comes down to what they do with the information once they have it.

[Fiver / Boildown @BoildownAH]

Not sure how @JimResnick1 straight face wrote this article without even mentioning the Tesla Cybertruck even once:

"Even though the 4WS concept dates back to the early 20th-century trucks, GM is the only manufacturer that has produced a 4WS pickup in the modern era."

Well that's a fucking lie.

@potatoslav So maybe you posted it but what was the final answer?

[Fiver / Boildown @BoildownAH]

@potatoslav Valerian was a seriously underrated movie imo. Not a terrible name, and there was someone named that on my old WoW server. Probably tops of that list.

@JeremiahDJohns I survived the India-Pakistan war, but the day isn't over yet (for me in North Carolina).

[Fiver / Boildown @BoildownAH]

@JeremiahDJohns Stuff goes viral because of bots... In the initial niche stages only bots have seen the thing.

@Agent_IsaacX @elonmusk @paulg Compare the P-47N assuming that model would have been produced in volume assuming the P-51 didn't exist. On the P-51 side use the P-51H. Compare at 30k feet instead of 25k, as diving is easy, climbing is hard, so loitering at altitude over a bomber formation is a good tactic.

[Fiver / Boildown @BoildownAH]

@Agent_IsaacX @elonmusk @paulg How did the P-47 and P-51's respective speeds compare at the altitude bombers flew in Europe in WW2?

[Fiver / Boildown @BoildownAH]

@elonmusk @Agent_IsaacX @paulg And the P-47 safeguarded the lives of pilots a lot better. The P-51's genius was its lower cost, trading pilot protection to produce more planes. It was a decision that shortened the war (we woulda won in any case) and perhaps from that standpoint saved lives.

@potatoslav I didn't want to ruin it, but now that its over I'm going to go ahead and post this meme from 2009, its all I could think about:

@DJSnM Well I'm glad it wasn't on the moon (or swallowing the moon whole).
