Office worker in his 50s who eats like poo poo and doesn't exercise.

Y'know, I know everyone always says that they'd be better if they had his money, but I can just imagine how crazy-good I'd look if I had the money for a dietician, a chef, a home gym, and one of those Hollywood personal trainers. Just spend my days looking and feeling amazing and blazed out of my mind.

In a vacuum, a 10 micron tolerance isn't that hard to hold, for some kinds of features, for some kinds of manufacturing processes. I've set up automotive machining lines where critical features, like critical bore diameters or the distance between two precision dowel holes, would get held to +-0.005 mm, statistically capable to a 1.67 Ppk (that means that we statistically estimate that no more than 0.6 parts per million would be out of tolerance). It takes some fiddling,, but it can be done. Bore honing's another example, they routinely hold that sort of tolerance as well. But you'd never try to do that on every feature on a component, let alone the entire car! Even ultra-precise measuring instruments and stuff have a whole ton of tolerances which are like "make a drat clearance hole, who cares so long as the bolt goes through." And that's with machining! Trying to hold that sort of tolerance on sheet metal or die castings is sheer insanity. Even measuring that sort of tolerance on large parts gets really tricky and you have to start taking into account stuff like how much the part sags under its own weight.
f1 engine cylinder walls are machined to within ~10 micron tolerances iirc

because of it, the engines need to be preheated before startinf because the engine is seized together at room temp

obviously really cheap, low maintenance stuff

The old guy having trace amounts of Tik Tok concerns me.

its a minor thing but the idea that someone is a genius in astronomy, math, physics and philosophy seems like a really childish view of what a "smart person" is, which makes sense because its a meme posted by an elon musk fanboy who probably thinks elon musk is an expert in all those things as well as computer science, rocket science, and human biology. Like, you're lucky if you find someone who is a genuine expert in one extremely niche field, and maybe they have a working knowledge of some related field, that's about as good as you're gonna get in most cases. Most of the time if you hear some genius physics guy going off about something other than physics they'll be saying some extremely dumb poo poo that only gets credibility cause they're a super genius physicist.

Yuniesky had turned around. He was conferring with another Cuban, being very rude. I heard snatches of their conversation over the slap of ball into glove. "culo" and "yeast". I knew then it was time to medically retire, and begin the slime odyssey. I tipped my hat to the professional baseball manager and started walking in a direction

The lawsuit says between 2018 and 2022, SpaceX “wrongly claimed” that export control laws limited its hiring to U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.
spacex said they were only hiring US citizens because the law forced them to, whereas that tweet shows musk knows they can hire anyone with a green card, so it is evidence of purposeful discrimination

The cost of repairing a Tesla has caused insurers to charge hefty premiums.

So Tesla launched their own insurance, the catch is it monitors how, when and where you drive and adjusts your rates on the fly. Driving after dark with Tesla insurance is a big no-no.

In short, if you buy the cybertruck you won’t need headlights.

RIP all those tesla ubers


When launching its own car insurance product, Tesla utilized its capacity to collect real-time driving data from its vehicles to create what it calls a “Safety Score,” which basically gives drivers a score based on how and when they drive in order to affect their monthly premium negatively or positively.

The score would be affected by things like the number of “Forward Collision Warnings” you get, the amount of hard braking you do, aggressive turning, unsafe following distance, and if you get forced Autopilot disengagement.

Now Tesla has launched what it calls Safety Score 2.0, and it includes significant changes to program:

Added Excessive Speeding as a new Safety Factor. More time spent driving over 85 mph will lead to a lower Safety Score.
Added Unbuckled Driving as a new Safety Factor. Time spent driving over 10 mph without buckling the driver’s seatbelt will lead to a lower Safety Score.
Updated Late Night Driving to be risk weighted based on when you are driving from 10 PM – 4 AM. The impact of late night driving on your Safety Score will depend on the proportion of time spent driving in each hour from 10 PM – 4 AM. The impact on your Safety Score is now reduced earlier in the night and increased later in the night.
Updated Hard Braking Safety Factor to exclude braking events that occur when the vehicle detects a yellow traffic light.
