The actual name: Full self driving (supervised) is so shady. Supervised is just a less crappy sounding way to indicate that you will have to take over and drive sometimes. So sometimes the car drives itself and sometimes you drive. So partial self driving, partial human driving. I'm surprised they didn't call it "Partial Full Self Driving". That would certainly amp up the trolling factor and really separate the true believers who would come out defending it with Olympic level mental gymnastics.

It wasn't in this article, but another article on the incident mentioned that earlier in the year, there was a large group of students from Oregon State University who had a similar party weekend. The difference was that 40 of them stayed an extra day to clean up and haul out trash.

In that situation, it took just a small minority of people to clean up the entire mess of the large group. I have no idea if this is something that had been planned from the start but I can see how just a few principaled individuals deciding to clean up could inspire folks who maybe felt bad but didn't want to make a fuss to stay and help out.

I think this depends on whether it's a 3.5 or 2.5 inch drive inside. To my knowledge, all external drives with a 3.5 inch drive inside are shuckable and have a standard SATA interface. With the compact drives that have a 2.5 inch drive inside, many will have a native usb interface and no SATA connector.

It makes sense as 3.5" sata drives are used for many many applications so why make something new just for external drives? With 2.5, however there are very few devices that use spinning sata drives in this form factor. It makes a lot more sense to build the USB interface directly on the drive since their main and possibly only application is external drives.

I could be wrong, but this has been my experience.

That's Full Self Driving (Sometimes).

The article implies that current patients essentially have no choice but to continue storing whatever frozen embryos they have at the cost of hundreds of dollars per year. It also mentioned that fertility clinics have "paused" services due to the legal risk posed to anyone involved if the embryo were to fail at any stage. So what happens now? Will these clinics be legally obligated to continue maintaining these embryos in their frozen state until the end of time? Considering their business model has been made illegal, it seems like bankruptcy is inevitable. Who then becomes responsible for these embryos? This is all so absurd.

And for some stupid reason 1/6 of it will now be part of the Atlantic.

Rolling coal is an extremely inefficient method of converting little dick energy into kinetic energy.

"Not having a gun in a crowd" would have been better.

If you're about to catch a beating, you can't just shoot.

What if they beat you to death. Can you shoot then?

It's a common mistake, but the subject of this painting was actually Pope Tato XI.

Yes, Dr. King was wary of so called moderates, but to extrapolate this as support for third party candidates is fallacious. What does voting third party have to do with the direct action that Dr. King is championing in this quote? Non violent direct action such as protests, marches, and sit ins were a very specific strategy to expose social tensions and force society to deal with them when it would otherwise be easier to ignore them. How does voting third party achieve this?
