AROOOOOO, BROTHER!

And hang about 2 extra feet of skin? You bet.

No way man. In rare occasions, like when eating a Jimmy John’s sub, real Hellman’s mayo is the only answer. Sometimes in BBQ dressings / sauces you also can’t substitute. For basically everything else, ESPECIALLY sandwiches, there is no beating the tangy zip of miracle whip, to quote their old commercials.

As an Indiana boy, it’s the only mayo I had until I was a man, and I have no regrets.

No I think you’re thinking of running. Speed walking allows you to do 2 walks per walk.

TIL about Gayle. I always thought this was a gay photoshop of Elijah Wood…

It really is super good

The gravitational constant G, no, the mutual gravitational force between the earth and the ball approximated as g, yes.

Edit: Since this is a little pedantic, G is used to calculate g.

Idk, install arch, then pull make files and dot files from git, wham bam, done how I like it on no time flat.

In no way does this make science religion. What it means is all opinions aren’t created equal and if you want to have a valid opinion you have to do work. If you dont want to do work that’s fine, but 998 times out of 1000 your “contribution” is you looking like a dipshit.

If you want to learn it learn it. If you want to participate, learn it. Science isn’t just discussion between friends.

Edit: To be exceptionally clear, scientific discussion is NOT open to everyone all the time, and you have no inherent right to participate without preparation and investment.

The “you” here is misleading. Consider any scientific field, then now consider all the people you know. How many people do you know, if any, who can propose a theory that is equally valid compared to scientific consensus on some topic in that field? It’s unlikely most people are friends with Aristotle or the like or are themselves in that boat.

Is it theoretically possible? Sure. Is it more likely that you or I or the stranger who fills this theoretical situation is actually an over confident moron? Overwhelmingly yes lol.

I disagree lol.

This is conflating science and expertise, but it’s probably still closer to valid than only “disagree without evidence”. A person with no background on the area of interest (or science in general) is likely not to even understand what constitutes evidence of a claim. The set of non scientist people who can produce a reliable body of evidence disproving a theory that has not been found by experts in the same field is likely so small as to be negligible compared to the set of non scientist people with “evidence” from Facebook/other who are in fact just wrong.

I passed through a natural lawn sub Lemmy the other day and it didn’t look like that was the norm. The normal seemed to be just don’t mow, which really brings a “this is an abandoned property” vibe for me.

Jokes on you, my back yard is a non euclidean space.

Where you live I’ll come help mow your shit for you. Barely any cost.

If you wanna live in the woods live in the woods, you live in town and your property drives value down for your neighbors… Well you’re gonna get what you get.

Theslad below has some good ideas to game the system, but “fuck you” isnt it. You don’t get to unilaterally decide, that is entitled as fuck.

Followed by HOA intervention fall!

Unpopular opinion: I like my pure grass lawn and work hard to keep it nice with clean edges, no weeds, and comfortable barefoot walking. My flower garden I also work to keep nice in between plants. The vegetable garden is the same deal. The back of the property can grow whatever it wants. I have less than 1/4 acre and if I can have it all so can you.

You will never convince me that a lot with a house that is overgrown to shit looks nice. We can have both.

I don’t want to…

Whatever you say Mr Dahmer joke instead of content. I see that was really all in good faith and maybe I unintentionally hurt your feelings by citing a source on base rate biases?

What data would you like me to bring for discussion since you’ve been so open thus far? Do you want me to bring some data showing that teslas spend more time not having accidents than having accidents? I’m happy to go do some homework to enrich this interaction.

It’s not as though you can just ask Tesla for every case of an FSD crash. The falsifiable claim is just me tossing a number, the point is that memorable bad press and bad stats are not the same.

Marketing besides the naming we have already established and Elon himself masturbating to it? Is there some other marketing that pushes this narrative, because I certainly have not seen it.

These are serious rate differences man.

Every driver, and even Tesla, will tell you it’s a work in progress, and you’d be hard pressed to find someone who has had an accident with it. I’d be willing to bet money that IF You find someone who has had an accident they have a driving record that’s shitty without it too.

If you want to talk stats, let’s talk stats, but “It seems like Tesla is in the news a lot for near crashes” is a pretty weak metric, even from your armchair.
