Could be worse, this happened once to a student pilot nearby, straying through controlled airspace.

Well, I was hoping Twitter would be dead by the end of 2022, but I guess I need to adjust my expectations. Maybe dead by Valentine's Day?

The Taoist Farmer posted:

There was once a Taoist farmer. One day the farmer�s only horse broke out of the corral and ran away. The farmer�s neighbors came to the farmer�s house and said, �Oh what bad luck!� The Taoist farmer replied, �We'll see.�

About a week later, the horse returned, bringing with it a whole herd of wild horses, which the Taoist farmer and his son quickly corralled. The neighbors came to see, and as they looked at the corral filled with horses they neighbors said, �Oh what good luck!� The Taoist farmer replied, �We'll see.�

About a month later, the Taoist farmer�s son was thrown from the back of a wild horse that he was trying to tame, and broke his leg. The farmer�s neighbors came to the farmer�s house and said, �Oh what bad luck!� The Taoist farmer replied, �We'll see.�

At that same time in China, there was a war going on between two rival warlords. The warlord of the Taoist farmer�s village was in need of more soldiers, so he sent one of his captains to the village to conscript young men to fight in the war. When the captain came to take the Taoist farmer�s son he found a young man with a broken leg who was delirious with fever. Knowing there was no way the son could fight, the captain left him there. A few days later, the son�s fever broke.

The neighbors, hearing of the son�s not being taken to fight in the war and of his return to good health, all came to see him. As they stood there, each one said, �Oh what good luck!� The Taoist farmer replied, �We'll see.�

Tesla won't get in any trouble for this because the article says he used some device to trick the car into thinking he was touching the steering wheel when he wasn't, so he voided them being liable.

Of course, Musk did just tweet the other day that the steering wheel nag was annoying and they would get rid of it soon :downs:

It's a whole other can of worms to open but maybe cars with driver assist features should be required to recognize and maybe automatically acknowledge persistent police sirens and cherries or other signs of pursuit.

Or just go all the way with it like in Minority Report.

Yea, I've been seeing this constantly, boosting those people's replies is making replies even more of a nightmare then they used to be.

No one should have a Twitter account

Imagine what it�s like being a trans woman on Twitter right now. Not only do their abusers not get moderated anymore, they get boosted to the top of the replies.

Catching up so sorry if it�s already been brought up and I�m sure others know more about it, but wasn�t SA�s big beef with PayPal something about them not letting SA donate to charity and in hindsight was probably something to do with Lowtax loving up or lying?

How anti-vax do we reckon Elon actually is? Any chance he's avoided a few jabs and we might get covidfreud from him catching it?

You can also adjust your definitions. I'd posit that twitter is dead and has been for a while, and everything we're seeing is its death throes.

He's apparently the person who told trump about the aquarium cleaner or the horse paste medicine in the first place. I'm betting he's vaxxed but has no idea he is.
