@AFP @jtLOL I asked them what poor people are supposed to eat instead, and all I heard back was crickets.

Industry standard is for accelerator pedal to override automatic braking.

• Honda (Collision Mitigation Braking System / CMBS): Cancels automatic braking if the accelerator pedal is “deeply depressed.”

• Chevrolet / GM: Notes that you can override automatic braking systems by pressing the accelerator when it is safe to do so. ACC automatic braking is temporarily disabled while on the gas.

• Subaru EyeSight, Toyota Safety Sense, etc.: Similar behavior — ACC braking pauses during accelerator override. Full AEB is usually suppressed by strong gas pedal input but remains a safety net if the driver is not actively accelerating.

@esrtweet I wonder if there are any terminfo entries still being maintained for terminals where there are no longer extant physical examples?

@TheTomKnighton I think you are confused. She agrees with you.

@TomHillsisyphus @alexthechick Only if you regularly dine-and-dash there without getting caught 🙂

@ConceptualJames Just think of the poor historians of the future trying to unwind the cause of the unprecedented rise in “female” violence in the early 21st Century. 🙂

@THErealDVORAK Just say “no” to mirror-image selfie videos 🙂.

@wil_da_beast630 The problem is that he is begging the question, but 83% of Americans don’t know what “Begging the question” really means. 🙂

@wonderofscience 150 million times bigger than the current smallest mammal ( Etruscan shrew). The mammalian body plan sure can scale!

@ABridgen That’s known as the “Merkel” and is an example of a “scholar’s cradle.” See Lindybeige’s hour long video on the subject for more information. https://t.co/GHgszBDtKK

@FastbreakHoops5 Yes.

@ScottGreenfield Amuse screwed up and merged together quotes by Stephen Miller and Derrick Evans. The “no due process” line is from Evans not Miller, and appears nowhere in the Miller video.
