Have we forgotten about the LA riots?

I would not stop for protestors either.

Isn’t it B?

The comment I replied to wasn’t “engaging in reasonable discourse” either. You’re right that it was inappropriate to call the commenter a piss baby, but I didn’t have any expectation of a conversation either.

“Let’s just fine the guy about a million dollars and make him unable to get to work for the next ten years because he hit the tree with his side mirror”

You’re fucking unhinged if you think that’s even remotely a reasonable take. I get this community is about decreasing our reliance on cars but that doesn’t give you a pass to be an insufferable piss baby when you get upset about something.

That driver isn’t single-handedly responsible for our car dependent society, so stop acting like they are and direct your frustrations somewhere more healthy.

Not really. A session token has a lot more entropy and is far harder to crack than a user’s password. Session tokens shouldn’t last forever but that’s why rolling tokens are a thing. You should use a valid token to periodically refresh the token for a new one, and expire the previous one.

It’s less secure to repeatedly sign users out and force them to request new session tokens by re-transmitting their password to the server. You want to reduce the amount of times you have passwords going over the wire (even if encrypted) and being stored in the server’s memory.

You can replace the battery in an iphone with a hair dryer and basic hand tools. It only takes like 15 minutes. I’m not sure what this legislation is going to result in besides making phones less waterproof and dust proof.

No, there’s no legal requirements to say the pledge or anything. I’ve never seen it done outside of schools, it’s just a weird tradition that has been carried on.

In my high school nobody in my classes actually said it, but one of the teachers or the student council president would say it over the intercom (we didn’t even stand for it, usually just went back to our work while they talked).

As a younger child in elementary school I remember we were expected to say it, and I do remember a couple kids getting yelled at for not saying it (by the teacher, I don’t think there was any formal punishment). I know some Muslim children would say the whole thing and leave out the “under God” part.

I never paid much attention to it until I got older and realized how weird it was. I’m hoping it goes away eventually.

Unless they’ve gotten into the sex toy business, I think you might mean Apple silicon ;)

Risky click of the day

I own a Model Y, don’t give a fuck what Elon does or says. I own a Ford too and couldn’t tell you who the hell the CEO of Ford is. Their personal opinions have fuck-all to do with the product, in my opinion. I test drove one, loved everything about the car, the charging network is objectively better, and I’m a big fan of self driving so that’s a bonus. I’m a little over a year into ownership and there’s absolutely no complaints I have about the car, it’s been a great experience.

Now the question is, why do you have such strong opinions about what cars other people buy? I’ve had a great experience with my Tesla and don’t know of any better way I could’ve spent my money on a vehicle.

Exactly what my homepage looks like when I’m not signed into Youtube. Seriously, is this what the average person is watching?

The thing gets me about the “$XX,000” battery replacement figure is that people are talking about the dealer quote for a battery replacement. If your vehicle is in warranty (and Tesla has an 8 year battery warranty), then the dealer replaces the battery for free. If it’s not under warranty anymore, there’s no reason to get your battery replaced at the dealer. Third party shops will do it for a fraction of the cost.
