In 2024, the number of fatalities involving occupants of Tesla's that were using FSD (full self-driving) software was zero (0).

Go ahead and hate Elon Musk. I'm with you. He's a dick.

But if you want the best chance of not dying while driving...

The Canadian gov't should in no way be handing contracts to companies involved in Alligator Alcatraz. And shame on Gardaworld for having anything to do with AA.

Widespread apathy is destroying the US.

Example: One of my friends is an American living in Dallas, and when I asked him, post-inauguration, what he thought of Trump Part 2, he just said: "Well, we'll just have to see where the chips fall." (That's all he said.)

I found that stunningly disengaged.

Very touching and personal. Thanks for sharing.

The *world* misses your dad and his thoughtful insights -- especially these days.

There's been a lot of discussion lately around mRNA vaccines.

Learn about them from mRNA researcher & Nobel Prize winner Prof. Katalin Karikรณ.

Science, solutions & solidarity.

โ€˜Self-termination is most likelyโ€™: the history and future of societal collapse An epic analysis of 5,000 years of civilisation argues that a global collapse is coming unless inequality is vanquished

โ€œIf youโ€™d had a citizensโ€™ jury sitting over the [fossil fuel companies] when they discovered how much damage and death their products would cause, do you think they would have said: โ€˜Yes, bury the information and run disinformation campaignsโ€™? Of course not.

Well for one thing, we should give a shit if it even tangentially helps put the world's most powerful rapist behind bars.

Cool.

Now do a comparison of how religious (read: bigoted, close-minded, and under-educated) these countries are now compared to then, and observe how totally-unsurprisingly the correlation coefficient of the two stats approaches 1.

With thanks to the oil & gas industry and everyone else who thinks it's cool to shit into air that we all breathe.

How did we get to this place where vast numbers of people still think that EVs are a "scam", but think also think that burning vast quantities of gasoline is a GOOD thing? ๐Ÿค”

It's tough to live on a planet with so many gawd-damn retards.

Why would he want to sell his EV in 5 years??

I've had mine for 7, and ZERO maintenance. Maybe you're ok with being a slave to the oil & gas industry, but I love waking up to a full charge every morning and not being the reason why our atmosphere is slowly cooking us to death.

In a perfect world, there'll soon be a photo of him stepping into his new EV (that doesn't burn gasoline).

Politicians in power rely on a critical mass of voters who either:

A) don't understand the problem; or
B) think there's no point trying to fix it because they see it as unfixable; or
C) see the problem clearly, but don't *want* to fix it for purely partisan reasons

The Rule of Law is dead in the US, and it's one reason so many Canadians like myself are boycotting it. Good luck surviving the next 3 1/2 years with a pedophile felon in charge.
