Am I missing something here? The robot is pushing packages from left to right, wouldn’t a conveyor belt do this exact same job at 10x efficiency and 1% the cost?

As an occasional Uber Driver, I have done over 300 passenger rides by now. I use FSD for 100% of my rides. For the first time ever, I just had passengers who were adamantly opposing my use of FSD. One of them said he doesn’t trust Elon Musk.
He is a software engineer, and he says he knows that software isn’t perfect. He doesn’t wanna be the one to edge case that leads to an accident. We had a nice conversation. I tried to appeal to his mathematical mind, arguing that the combination of the system and myself observing is definitely safer than me driving without it. He didn’t wanna hear any of it. Both of them didn’t.
Interesting. I did not expect that position from an engineer.
Oh and: I felt a lot more nervous, driving entirely myself again. It was over 20 minutes. I do not want to do this anymore. Driving a vehicle is insane.

@joelvmoran Lower ceiling. Outperformed by the other top 4 in basically every other metric besides agility

Let me get this straight,
Cameron Boozer is the youngest of the top 4. Had the best impact metrics. Performed better than Caleb & AJ in the agility drills. Has an NBA ready body with zero true weakness in his game.
Why shouldn’t he be the #1 pick?

@robynngarfield Why did you leave the church and why did you go back
English

This week marks the 20th anniversary of coming home from my Spanish-speaking LDS mission in Seattle, Washington. I was released May 10, 2006.
My mission has meant many different things to me at different points in my life.
About 9 years after I came home, I left the church, became a bitter atheist/x-mormon and have come back to the church somewhat (it's always complicated, but my church community has been so patient with my growth).
I'm so grateful for the hardships and experiences I faced as a missionary because they've helped me through so much in my adult life as a mom, a wife, and in my interactions with my fellow human beings.
