Yeah man. People love to bash Elon and rightfully so. I live in Southern California, I drive a Tesla and a lot of my friends do also. I used to travel a lot for work, and would regularly rent nice cars for weeks on end. My Tesla is the car I've enjoyed most ever, and it's not really even close.

Yeah it has problems. But what car doesn't? Nothing is perfect. But for me, the features that Teslas have check all the boxes in a really novel and enjoyable way.

It's called voir dire, and it's more complicated than that. For a case this size the counsels will likely have done focus groups to see what traits, etc. tend to test well against the client. So yes, they are theoretically screening for biases, but the selection is ultimately up to both councils, so it's a balancing act of stacking the jury in your favor.

When you describe it like that... I feel like it makes more sense. Like, of course the penguin is gonna want his safety stones. I buy that.

Is this real? I know nothing about cruises, that seems so insane and yet so... Practical.

I see this a lot and I really don't understand it. Here I am on lemmy.world, replying to you on sh.itjust.works, on a post from lemmy.ml. Clearly neither of us are browsing just our local instance, and indeed I imagine most people are not. So what does it matter what instance anyone is on, beyond instance-specific defederations?

Excellent contribution

I mean yes, that's certainly possible. But there are business processes to handle performance improvement. There is no excuse to be nasty. Not to mention the sexual harassment, if true, is absolutely illegal.

This is fantastic and if I heard you say that in person you'd ironically be my go-to

Close enough! Tripped at the finish line

How did you make that work? I'd love to keep opening baconreader, if only superficially... It's been 11 years.

I won't link it because it's a reddit link. But there's damning footage of large pixel circles of white or random colors spreading at the same instant, in a way that wouldn't be possible by regular users. And these pixels don't have an attached username, it's like the canvas has been totally reset. Bots would show a new username.

I was in like 3rd grade, the word was passed on to us in real time but I didn't really understand what had happened until later.

Also this is a clever way to get a feel for the distribution of ages of Lemmy users... I like it.
