  • Tesla coast-to-coast FSD crashes after 60 miles

    Jump

  • The safety systems would work perfectly if the cars could communicate, or more robustly if they could be mechanically linked together for the "easy" (highway) portion of the drive. Imagine a lane with nose to tail cars all doing exactly the same thing. At exits (predefined stops) you could get off to change or stay on the same one. Put a little station there with bathrooms and food.

    Maybe we could even replace that highway lane with steel tracks and the tires with steel wheels for lower friction.

    Damn you just always re-derive the train

  • I'll assume the gym membership part is some large chain US gym or something? I couldn't disagree more.

    I have a membership to a smaller gym and it's a great deal in my opinion. Cancel anytime, no deals, no discounts, just a price and access to a facility. It's one of the most pure and simple subscriptions I can think of.

  • US ex pat living in Europe: 100% agree. I've actually not had a single person be mean or negative about where I'm from. Either jokes about how it's going or more likely, curiosity about how things actually are.

    It's just like if you meet a Russian who left. I would hope you'd have the nuance to think "oh, they escaped, fantastic for them and I'm so sorry about their country" not "oh they must love Putin"

  • Non-Americans, how and what do the news and social media in your country portray the US?

    Jump

  • It's good! Really good. Fucking hard sometimes. I'm lucky enough to do it with a lovely partner but you can feel so much more alone than you ever have imo. But it's very rewarding and lovely. It's nice to be able to choose a little of cultural and political stuff that you really identify with rather than whatever you got originally

  • Non-Americans, how and what do the news and social media in your country portray the US?

    Jump

  • Yeah, of course there's a lot of opinions about it. I've even met a guy who has never left Continental Europe who is pro Trump. but for the most part it's people deciding to not vacation there anymore.

    People from all over are very welcoming of us. I'm always prepared for some pushback of "fucking Americans" and it just never comes.

    Tak! Der er virkelig dejlig at være her :) vi elsker Danmark og kan rigtig godt lide vores anderledes livsstil her

    Jump

  • US ex pat who lives in Denmark (before this absolutely dumpster fire of an administration).

    That's how I see the news here too, generally a bit tired of the US' shit and pretty keenly aware of some of the consequences.

    Everyone I know tries to go there and buy from there as little as possible, which is a nice effect

  • Do you think you can become a benevolent dictator without ever getting corrupted or turn evil?

    Jump

  • I agree with your take on this. I think 1M is way too low. But 1 Billion... It's a bit easier to imagine the "you can't or the dictatorship will seize something" idea.

    The reality is that the wealthiest people usually influence the most

  • 'Set us free': Ben & Jerry's enlists support of fans to separate from parent company

    Jump

  • So I worked at a brewery that did some collabs with B&J pre their sale to Unilever.

    I didn't meet them, but a lot of my friends did. Everyone loved them. Seemed they were genuinely rad dudes and are through and through who they market themselves to be. Hope they can pull off some control of their brand again.

  • Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Direct 12/09/2025

    Jump

  • Dude I'm so excited for you right now. It was such an amazing day when I found all of this the first time.

    First of all MP1/2 and Dread have a multi world randomizer called Metroid Prime Randomizer. There's a discord, it's a cool community.

    But more importantly there's something called Archipelago.gg, which is a multi world randomizer across MANY games. The few dozen on their site and maybe 120 other ones, of course including MP1 (and 2 is in alpha I think). My friends and I do a big one a few times a year and some smaller ones throughout. I really like it. It's so funny and confusing to think "my grappling beam is stuck in Pokemon but he needs surf which is past some Stardew checks but she doesn't have Summer yet which I think is in hollow Knight ..."

    The list of non website games is on the discord server and there's MANY more. Highly recommend looking there

  • Totally agree. Looks pretty awesome actually. Give me a Mario Golf next!

  • Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Direct 12/09/2025

    Jump

  • I'm a massive MP fan. I play randomizers of 1 and 2 all the time still and loved the remake of MP1.

    I kind of expected a masterpiece of a game since it's been SO long. Silksong style (which I do believe is a masterpiece for the genre), where no news and no timeline pressure means they can get it right.

    I worry about MP4. I really want to love this. I want this to be the best Prime game. The empty open world, the bike, the graphics on the bike. I do worry a bit.

  • What are you playing this weekend? 2025-09-12

    Jump

  • I just "finished" silksong. I love your points and really agree with them. I think I'm gonna go back in and try to do some of the stuff I noped out on before. Plenty of challenge in this game, that's for sure.

    I can't believe how out of order I did some stuff. I didn't like super intentionally do a skip or something, I just happened upon bosses and areas and kinda went through them. Later to realize I had missed whole sections that were way below my skill level

  • In case you don't know your Bible stuff

    May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership. 9 May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. 10 May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes. 11 May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor. 12 May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children. 13 May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation. 14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD; may the sin of his mother never be blotted out. 15 May their sins always remain before the LORD, that he may blot out their name from the earth. 16 For he never thought of doing a kindness, but hounded to death the poor and the needy and the brokenhearted.

  • Oh I'm sure there's some super talented people there. They're just not working very hard to get their stuff done because it's easy.

    Now we're testing if they're willing to do the same but also sit in an office probably an hour away, for fun.

    It's just a layoff workout laying people off, except you keep your worst workers for sure
