Sooo… I’m not going to be flying for at least the next four years.
I'm flying to Vegas this weekend! Let's see how it goes!
GF actually already has a slight fear of flying, so this should be an adventure trying to calm her down. lol
Just like we'll have "full self driving this year" for 10 years running?
Elon Musk is a fucking moron who happened to stumble upon brilliant engineers who actually do meaningful work. Unfortunately for him he's fired or burned through nearly all of them which is why Twitter is bleeding cash and Tesla hasn't released anything interesting in 5 years.
Tesla hasn't released anything interesting in 5 years
Hey they regularly update the ability to make your vehicle into an expensive whoopie cushion. If that isn't interesting I don't know what is.
Rapid and safe don't go together
That’s not true. I can think of a quick change that will greatly improve air safety: ground every single plane, effective immediately.
Would it affect my upcoming vacation? Yes. But would it work? Yes.
Have you considered working for the government?
Getting a bus pass doesn't make you a better driver.
I mean, yes, but I don’t see the relevancy
Theres an old saying you cant have everything Rapid safe and cheap.
You just need to pick 2.
Good thing they saved us a bunch of money by shutting everything down then. They can spend the pentagons sushi budget on quickly training some safe operators.
If the military doesnt do something, because Congress won't, we're absolutely cooked. I have family who work on planes. Fuck all of this.
DOGE? His crack team of 18-26 year old muppets? Wonderful.
Same age group as Lemmy, so...
Yeah, sucks.
There's a 26y old? Oldest i saw reported was like 23
He's the guy who fucked it up. He and his goons are morons, and should be nowhere near any of this
Maybe so, but the are on it. So...
Yeah bruh, I am not flying until the next admin cleans up all this horseshit. If we have a next admin.
Every single action that he does even if it only takes a day to undo took decades to get implemented. Will probably take just as long to get it back.
Planes go over my house all day. We're all fucked, even if we don't fly. Maybe one will fall on him and we can have a good laugh 😅
Like to Tesla FSD systems, right? Slap a couple patches on there? Cut off a split second before it hits parked ambulances on the interstate so it’s technically not responsible?
You know, rapid and safe, like Tesla full self driving.
Ah, yes, adaptive cruise control and lane keeping with some AI hallucinations dropped in, surely that'll be safe.
All I know is that I have a flight for work in a couple weeks and if shit keeps going this way I'm fucking driving, even if I have to leave a day early.
I'm flying to Vegas tomorrow night. lol
Yeah, I have to fly home cross country tomorrow. Wheeee.
Im going to stress that this is entirely hypothetical but I think that its possible that all of this insane behavior COULD be so they can make some sweeping changes and efficiency measures and just have people glad that what they do is so much better than what they said they were going to do.
There was a period at my work where they came through talking about 1 in 4 job losses and overtime bans... etc. 3 months later they overhauled the job, we work a little harder and the restructuring was wildly unnpopular, but the only jobs that were lost were some early retirements and existing vacancies. So yeah it sucked, but a whole lot less that their first threats.
Go on boy, lick that boot. Get it nice and clean now. Good boy.
Oh fuck right off, does Lemmy actually want to have discussions about anything or should we just take turns screaming "Fuck Trump" and "Fuck Musk" like Daffy and Bugs doing Rabbit season/Duck season?
This week "The only way Canada can avoid these tarriffs is to become the 51st state" literally 48 hours later they are on hold for 30 days while they find an alternative and that happened this week. He talks massive and fucking nuts and then backs off to merely unreasonable and a bit crazy. He still gets to push his agenda in the direction he wants (which I do NOT think is anything good) and no small amount of people will just be glad he didnt go with the first option and the most gullible will be grateful.
By-and-large Lemmy has a babies understanding of debate. Everything is black or white, bad or good. No nuance, no subtly just 'you bad, me right'. Dare to be different from the hive mind? Break out the low effort insults.
Dude, you literally said you have to do more work for the same pay because someone who is paid way more than you fucked up, but it wasn't as bad as what that overpaid fuckup said it could've been, so yay. And this is why you're hoping the fascists in charge aren't going to step on your neck too hard.
Lick into the tread now, you like the dirt in there. Good little sub.
Is it Grok-powered ATCs?
Pilot: "hey ground control"
ATC: *Google Assistant ding*
Active GPS. Please, no BS Elon satellite phone bullshit.
