@congressdj I wish the manual use of a blinker would override FSD’s decision. I was in an express lane and the whole way, FSD kept trying to get me to move into the regular lanes. Even crossing the double white lines, not just at exit points. Made FSD useless.

@edgecase411 @SkyS1gn That's an express lane on I-575 that serves both north and southbound. The arms are blocking drivers from exiting left into oncoming traffic.

People aren’t ever going to embrace MARTA when unprovoked killings are a weekly occurrence on the system.

[The Drunk Republican @DrunkRepub]

The fact that we are having a hard time throwing America a 250th birthday party because leftists are threatening to kill everyone involved is the most zeitgeist shit I’ve ever seen in my life

I think it's worth discussing how last night's Blue Origin incident could affect Delta's decision to choose Amazon Leo over @Starlink.

A couple months ago, Delta announced plans to begin installing Amazon Leo connectivity on 500 aircraft starting in 2028. The key word here is begin, because unless Amazon decides to launch their Leo satellites on SpaceX rockets in the near term while Blue Origin works to return New Glenn to service, a process that could take 12–15 months (maybe longer) based on early reports, its deployment timeline could face significant delays. Amazon currently has about 300 Leo satellites in orbit, compared to @SpaceX's 10,400 Starlink satellites.

Those 500 aircraft would cover only about half of Delta's fleet, meaning a full fleet rollout likely wouldn't be completed until 2030 or so (maybe sooner if they launch Leo sats with SpaceX).

United Airlines expects Starlink to be installed on roughly 80% of its fleet (about 880 aircraft) by the end of this year, years ahead of Delta's rollout. Southwest Airlines expects approximately 300 aircraft, or 37% of its fleet, to have Starlink by the end of 2026. American Airlines is scheduled to begin Starlink installations in 2027.

This means Delta will have a meaningful competitive disadvantage when it comes to high-speed onboard internet, an increasingly important feature for travelers. This begs the question, does Delta accept these likely delays with Amazon Leo (again, unless they pay SpaceX to launch their sats in the meantime), or do they eventually decide they can't afford to wait and switch to Starlink?

A couple other factors to consider though: Delta has broader partnerships with Amazon beyond Leo, and Amazon may have offered a killer deal to get Delta to sign with them, one they may not want to give up. It's also possible Amazon dedicates a large share of Leo's early capacity to Delta, making a smaller satellite constellation mostly sufficient for its needs? I need to look more into that last part.

So far, 37 airlines (and counting) have announced Starlink adoption. I now some disagree with me on this, but I believe passengers will increasingly factor high-speed internet connectivity into their flight decisions, especially on longer flights. As more airlines adopt Starlink (three out of the four major U.S. airlines have), pressure will continue to mount for the airlines that haven't adopted it.

Jet Blue is in a similar situation to Delta....

Delta CEO’s decision to go with Amazon Leo over Starlink just got even worse

When you perform for Clinton and Obama but back out of a concert for a major birthday for your country because of who is in office now, you have made it partisan. Not the event nor the event planners.

[Knicks Memes @KnicksMemes]

Someone just asked me what my Knicks tickets would cost him for the NBA Finals.

I told him 5K.

He asked what the new price would be if he gave me a a few games of his Mets tickets as part of the deal.

I told him 8K.

Dear members of the press, Colbert is the beginning, not the end, of the job losses. Too many of you, like him, work in over staffed companies with declining revenues where you’ve consciously chosen to pick a side and alienate everyone else.
