san francisco's tap water is so pure they don't even have to filter it. comes straight from the hetch hetchy reservoir in yosemite and they add chlorine and put it in your pipes, that's it.

so naturally everyone only drinks filtered water.

except for the certain percentage of it that's now local groundwater and which people complain makes it taste odd

lol at worrying that adding housing will change the feel of the neighborhood as if the massive number of people that were pushed out by rising prices didn�t already completely alter the neighborhood feel.

the mayor is working for the interests of the wealthy whose houses-cum-investments would lose value if housing wasn�t so scare. prioritizing wealth and property over people, nice.

i'm not saying it to be judgey i'm saying it's weird that you're apparently from a backwards dimension where people wake up in the morning and then proceed to sleep backwards in time until an alarm goes off to put them to sleep

having crippling ADHD makes it extremely difficult to remember go to bed in time to get a proper amount of sleep, so thanks for that I suppose

everything in the car is controlled with the touchscreen because that's the future

want to open the glovebox? press this button on the touchscreen!
want to move the airflow from the vents? move this crosshair on the touchscreen!
want to adjust the cruise control speed? drag this slider on the touchscreen!
open the frunk or the charging port? touchscreen!
check your speed or the status of your turn signals? they're right there in the corner of the touchscreen, dummy!
open the loving doors? not the touchscreen, amazingly! but the door handles are an electrical button so they don't work if the car runs out of power. in that event, there is a manual release hidden under the armrest, but you aren't supposed to use it because it can rip off the door trim if you do.

sum total of physical controls: pedals, wheel, headlight/windshield wiper, drive mode selector, and two scroll wheels.

but it's fine because ol'musky says you won't be driving yourself anyway, any day now...

to open the doors on the model 3 (from the outside) you have to push the door handles in to make them pop out of the door, then pull on them

the ones that were all recalled and either ended up being scrapped or shot into space?

not sure what you're thinking of

quote:

As of May 2017, Tesla has issued two product safety recalls for the Roadster.[170]

In May 2009, Tesla issued a recall for 345 Roadsters manufactured before April 22, 2009. Tesla sent technicians to customers' homes to tighten the rear, inner hub flange bolts. Using wording from the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, Tesla told customers that without this adjustment, the driver could lose control of the car.[171] The problem originated at the Lotus assembly line, where the Roadster glider was built. Lotus also recalled some Elise and Exige vehicles for the same reason.[172]

On October 1, 2010, Tesla issued a second product safety recall in the US affecting 439 Roadsters. The recall involved the 12V low-voltage auxiliary cable from a redundant back-up system. The recall followed an incident where the low voltage auxiliary cable in a vehicle chafed against the edge of a carbon fiber panel, causing a short, smoke and a possible fire behind the right front headlamp. This issue was limited to the 12V low-voltage auxiliary cable and did not involve the main battery pack or main power system.[173]

The operative word is the one missing from your screenshot.

The IWW isn't a union for everyone without a union, it's a union for every laborer. trade unions are for specific trades.
