I believe the booster can’t return to the pad unless it’s explicitly told to from the ground (so if it loses contact, it will crash safely).

During the stream, they said that the very specific criteria for a recapture attempt were not met. They didn’t say what that criteria was.

And sought the council of the smartest man in the world to do it.

I remember learning that before the invention of the locomotive, people thought that 30mph was some kind of barrier that the human body could not survive.

For when your calculator watch doesn’t get you beat up enough on the playground.

Kidding, this looks like a great project. If you don’t need the fun animation, you can get similar features with a Casio F-91W and https://www.sensorwatch.net/

They have a dice set face.

If he was, he made no effort to tell me what that was, so that’s on him.

Not really? It was his first time DMing. He was doing a homebrew story. Actually Foundry, not DnD. It was my first time playing and I was really struggling with it. I wasn't a fan of where the party was taking it and each session was basically wandering aimlessly through a cave and repeating my only attack (sling a rock) at whatever monsters we found. I let him know that I wasn't enjoying it and there wasn't a lot for my character to do and he just linked me to the rules website.

I asked for advice on Lemmy, and they suggested I ask for like a 15 minute out of character period at the start of next session to express what our goals were in the game. That was scheduled for the session that I ultimately bailed on.

I got a long string of texts the next morning about how I don't respect him and never respected him and a lot of other shit. I dunno.

So my point is that the story is only newsworthy because it’s Tesla. I think you’re arguing that it doesn’t happen in other cars because you can’t find news about it. I think we’re arguing the same point. It could be happening in other cars, but it isn’t newsworthy.

30,000 people die in America every year because of cars, but we don’t see 30,000 news articles about it.

What would make a Tesla more dangerous than say a 2008 Corvette that has the manual release conveniently placed on the floor?

Here’s a photo from a forum where someone suggests a way to cover the label because they don’t like the look.

I canceled on the biweekly DnD session because it was scheduled for Halloween and I had plans. Told him a little last minute (day before when I realized).

Dude torpedoed our 10 year friendship over that.
