Ya that's our employment insurance. Glad you were able to get back on your feet!

Many many years ago I worked a job where we had to keep an eye on the call center call queue/employees call status on the phone.

Someone always has to keep an eye on it, so if you need to go for a break, even just to use the washroom, if you're the only one on shift, you asked one of the team leads to watch it.

Had been like that for years.

Well, we had a brand new manager for our team who was an offsite manager at another call center, and my other coworker was in a very long meeting that day so I was all alone watching things.

I was really hungry, feeling sick from it, so I asked one of the team leads as usual to watch things while I took a break and went across the street to grab some fast food and come back.

Well, while I was gone for like 10minutes, the manager had called our desk (we have voice mail) and realized no one was there.

He reamed me out for having left the desk unattended, and how I should have waited for my coworkers meeting to end which wasn't ending anytime soon.

Didn't care that I'd had a TL cover for me as we'd always done.

Next day, HR calls me into their office and puts me on formal notice for it.

I quit the next day. Fuck that shit.

Were you on EI still when you found the job?

That'd be a fun story to tell them why you need to restart it.

I think I saw a snippet from his biography where Franz (head designer) convinced Elon to make the car so it could also have a steering wheel so as to not get fucked if fsd doesn't work out.

Supposedly took a lot of effort to convince him.

Guess that didn't pan out in the end. Nothing about that car is designed for non robotaxi use.

Why would having sex at a party make it trafficking.

It's just paid for underage sex at a party.

Unless she was trafficked at the party by someone else, but I don't think that gets the person paying charged with trafficking? That would get the person who trafficked her that charge.

With electronic voting, random audits of the paper ballots should be mandatory before the next president is sworn in.

It should be done by an independent organization.

You could audit specific machines or counties, just get a good smattering around the country. If a red flag goes off on the audit, then do it all since it's now compromised.

I guess that makes your comment woke.

If the dual motor isn't selling well that doesn't bode well.

Of all the reveal specs, it was actually the closest to the advertised specs and price after inflation.

With inflation after the delay it'd be about 61k. Sells for 80k. The final vehicle has more range though, offsetting the 19k gap a bit.

The RWD and Tri were much further off.

There goes the Google monopoly case.

Makes sense about NCAP ya. It'll get tested eventually we'll just have to wait.

You seem nice

It comes and goes.

Have you seen this crash yet where all 4 participants survived?

It's trashed, but you can see it got wrecked up to the passenger compartment on the front, and the rear is missing all the way into the back wheels.

Neither of those distances is insignificant for a crumple area. That thing had to be flipping and they absorbed that energy.

It's not that Tesla didn't choose to have it tested, the agencies haven't wanted to test it yet.

They don't test every vehicle and they don't always test what they think will be low volume vehicles.

Teala could sponsor it, but it's not like every manufacturer sponsors a vehicle that the testing agencies decide not to test.

For example, I don't believe the model 3 highland has been tested again after all the changes, and if it has, not all the testing agencies yet.

I saw a recent article that'd be great for their first

But... it does have crumple zones.

The entire front and rear castings are designed to shatter in a high energy collision and crumple.

The size of a crumple zone isn't as important as how it absorbs the energy and dispenses it.

You could have a 20foot crumple zone that's empty and it's be useless.

You can see it crumpled here. They've also posted a different video on the official X account of a crash test but I won't post that to avoid linking them. here.

Since you got something so utterly basic wrong and posted it as true, I can only assume the entire post is fabricated.

Edit: took a screen shot instead of video. It crumples all the way past the front wheels

I was kinda hoping it'd always stay like this.

Ah, I can see how that may have come across like that. My bad.

Back doors is a whole other story.

Thats what this means. The back seats are hit and miss depending on the vehicle.

It used to not lower the window and could damage the window.

Shortly after the 3 was released it was changed. When there is power it lowers the window now.

But if there is no power, it can't lower the window and it may break.

The front handles aren't hidden. They're so obvious everyone I take in my car tries to use them first if I don't tell them.

Back doors is a whole other story.

A lot of us walked/biked to our grade school as well. I can't remember which grade I started walking, but I was definitely doing it in 4. I'd wager even grade 3 but can't be 100% sure.
