I don't use drugs why are they standing up. Wouldn't it be cozier to curl up and enjoy their drugs. Why are they standing frozen like zombies in a paused video game.
You sir are clearly an idiot. For that I feel sorry for you. But the fact is you were not there. You have no idea where we walked. You have no idea what we went through.
You clearly have nothing better to do with your existence here on Earth other than posting hyperbolic nonsense while you cower behind a vile of anonymity.
Failed Robotaxi ride in 91° heat.
I LOVE Tesla @Robotaxi and tonight is date night and I was SO EXCITED to take my Wife on an Unsupervised Robotaxi ride for drinks and dinner in Austin.
I hailed the ride after “High Service Demand” cleared after ~15mins of trying.
A red Model Y shows up with zero Robotaxi markings on it and a guy driving in the front seat.
I was immediately let down but we had already waited so long and we needed to reach out destination so we got in.
His hands were on the wheel the whole time and it felt like it was last year when the program was just starting.
The Supervisor was nice but the ride went sideways.
We tried to go to Zanzibar in Austin but the car drove right by the entrance and took us ~a 1/4 mile way out of the way to a residential apartment building. We asked the supervisor what was going on and he called Support and told us to press the support button. Support came on the line and said there was nothing they could do. We had to walk in the 91° heat.
We were dressed in nice clothes and shoes not made for walking. My Wife was NOT impressed. I was embarrassed as I had talked up the service so much.
On our walk to our destination, we witnessed a Waymo dropping off a rider in the place that we should have been dropped off.
Additionally, when we arrived at our destination, hot and sweaty, we saw that there was plenty of room to drop us off.
Very frustrating.
The best part is, we paid for this experience.
@HiddenYorkshire Nothing is as instant as vinyl. Put the needle on the record : hear music. Skip thru instantly by moving the needle. A decent record player with a half decent cartridge can be found in the £100 region. Second hand markets are rife with amplifiers and speakers.
I'm an anti-vinyl hipster. I can say that because I served my time being 14 and obsessed with collecting records and playing them on my mum's Dansette player, only to realise that I was fooling myself. Unless you're playing them on a very good, high-quality turntable and speakers, in the vast majority of cases there is no way vinyl *actually* sounds better than mp3. It's Emperor's New Clothes. A £££ turntable and speaker set? Okay, now we're talking. But let's be real here, most of your vinyl hipsters are using a terribly tinny HMV portable suitcase turntable and convincing themselves that it's somehow more ~authentic~ than Spotify. Just let it go. It's all about performance and aesthetics. You feel cool handling a record and posting about to Insta, but for actual musical quality, I'll stick with a good pair of headphones and my phone.
@dalkeygirl2@Timoldland@philfreie It’s all Langer and Winstanley produced. Peel Sessions was a rawer sound. I’ve got an old bootleg tape somewhere of Madness playing in New York, think it was 1979 and it sounds so good, much harder than the records.
What songs can you simply NOT listen to? They instantly make you skip the track or change station? For me there are only two.
Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On
Dexy’s Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen
The 2nd particularly is so terrible and ingrained into my brain from attending a glut of 80s and 90s family weddings that I simply cannot allow it in my ears.
