I have a sneaking suspicion that the Robotaxi isn't ready and instead we just got a look at the Tesla Model 2.
It would make more sense as others mentioned for a robotaxi to have more room for seating and cargo. Even face to face seating.
Full height cargo space like a SUV or crossover (station wagon) body would maximize cargo space for quick cargo loading and unloading.

Yup, it's interesting how so many of these universal ID for voting laws don't also include an easy, convenient, and free means for all citizens to get IDs.

Also there are fast food alternatives to McDonalds as well.
IMO, Wendy's has much better burgers. Haven't had Carl's Jr's in a long while but I remember their "$6 Burgers" were pretty good.
Burger King, the meat quality seems to have gone downhill. Like an unchewable but in each meat patty. They used to be my favorite.
Edit: the "$6 burger" is now called the thick burger since it now costs more than $6

Indeed, folks need to get involved at the local level and primaries.
For those that complain about the first past the post voting, Alaska managed to pass ranked choice voting:

If you hate FPTP and the choices it gives you, don't just sit out the election, that's an inherent vote for the person you like the least. You can try to back a similar ranked choice measure in your state:

They also included in the ruling that:
"Chief Justice Roberts determines that “official conduct,” which garners presumptive immunity under the Court’s framework, may not be used as evidence of other crimes when prosecuting former presidents."
https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-supreme-court-s-presidential-immunity-decision
My understanding, a president having an "official" meeting with his staff regarding commiting a crime that falls outside of his normal presidential duties is no longer admissible as evidence for the criminal act.

Yeah, quite a few people on this 3 year old reddit post talk about that experience:
https://old.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/p86sjw/a_warning_for_people_considering_donefirst_for/
Done (DoneFirst), also charged an initial $200, then $79 a month though more current reviews mention $90 a month.
The comments on that thread are enlightening.

This may actually make the medications more available for those who are not patients of "Done Global, Inc" which was a telehealth company that specializes in ADHD.
But those who are patients of Done Global Inc are going to have a hell of a time finding a different doctor and getting back on their meds.
Major pharmacies like CVS Health and Walmart have stopped filling prescriptions from Done
I couldn't find the specific regulation they violated, but reading this and from the vague description, my best guess that they may have been playing loose with "establishing a patient relationship" and doing thorough evaluations of patients to ensure they had ADHD (and possibly skipping alternative lower Schedule medications).
Edit: From the DEA announcement
In many cases, Done Global prescribed ADHD medications when they were not medically necessary.

When I think of "stuffing" I think of people creating wholly illegitimate ballots, which does not seem to be what happened here.
That's exactly what ballot stuffing is and why what these folks are charged with is not ballot stuffing:
https://ballotpedia.org/Ballot_stuffing
Ballot stuffing or ballot box stuffing is a form of electoral fraud in which a greater number of ballots are cast than the number of people who legitimately voted. The term refers generally to the act of casting illegal votes or submitting more than one ballot per voter when only one ballot per voter is permitted.[1]
If the absentee ballots they handled were either fabricated or if the voters they were from already voted, then yes it would be "ballot stuffing" but I didn't see that in the article. Just "mishandling".
Still best that absentee ballots are handled properly as to show the voter hasn't voted in person.

Aerodynamics and metal fatigue hasn't changed much of any at all in a century.
Once you have a good airframe design, it just becomes a matter of upgrading electronics, engines, regular repairs, and servicing parts that are known to be prone to metal fatigue.
Hence why the B-52 which was first flown in 1952 will likely be in service until 2060!

Seeing the same thing here. Apparently I'm scum because I'm renting my previous home for -10%/+10% of: mortgage on the lower price I paid 10 years ago, plus property taxes, plus home owners insurance, plus repairs and maintenance.
Apparently I would no longer be scum if I stopped renting it and refused to renew my tenants lease, sold the house and made a huge profit now, and the next person will have to pay brand new closing costs plus a mortgage on double the home value and double the APR.
I'm guessing most folks down-voting the sane responses saying rentals aren't needed have never tried selling a house (and gone 6+ months paying the mortgage for a house you no longer live in) or don't know there's a "break even" calculation that tells you how many years you have to live in the same house before you're better off than having just rented (realtor fees to sell the house, closing costs, time to sell the home where you'll still be paying your mortgage + taxes + insurance, time to close, getting credit approval for a mortgage, etc).
Hell, I did the calculation when I had to move to a new state and I was able to rent a house for less than it would have cost me to pay for closing costs and realtor fees when I would have sold the house 3 years later. Not to mention the time to come up with 20% down payment.
But fuck me for not taking the easy way out, kicking out my tenants and cashing in on the current huge property values to sell my old home.
Figured it would be a good idea to collect known issues in one place: 1. Dedicated servers with mods to enable more than 15 pals per base can have pals 16+ assigned to a base deleted [Source](https://old.reddit.com/r/Palworld/comments/1bvndly/psa_dont_launch_the_game_if_you_had_the_base_pal/) - For the above, I would have dedicated servers with such mods hold off on 1.5.1 until players get a chance to put all their base pals back in their palbox and/or update their worldoptions.sav file with the correct max pals: [Website to create a custom worldoption.sav](https://palworldoptions.com/) [Local run version](https://github.com/legoduded/palworld-worldoptions) or better yet **set the max number of workers in PalWorldSettings.ini then use [this tool](https://github.com/legoduded/palworld-worldoptions) to create a new worldoptions.sav file.** - Servers that are using a custom WorldOption.sav to increase the Base worker limit may be spared from this issue. - "Deleted" pals may be in spheres above the vicinity of the Palbox. 2. Pre patch incubators will not work (will only accept/store small pal souls) - Destroying and rebuilding the incubator seems to fix this. 3. The Pal Info mod (and likely any mod that shows Pal info) conflicts with 2.0.6 and as such should be disabled until the mod author can update the mod for 2.0.6 4. Players with UE4SS installed get a blank screen when trying to start the game and log in. - Go to Palworld/Binaries/Win64/Mods/ edit mods.txt to change BPModLoaderMod from 1 to 0. - Note, UE4SS Blueprint type mods will not work with the fix above but at least you'll be able to log into the game [Credit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Palworld/comments/1bvt5vf/game_wont_load_past_black_screen_no_login/) 5. Dedicated servers may fail to launch - The server executables have new names. - Make sure your scripts point to the new server names (old ones had -test at the end, new ones are -release I believe) - If you're using any firewall rules that point to a specific name for the dedicated server process, it'll need to be updated to the new binary name.
More notes in comments! **▼New Content** ・Implemented the first Raid Boss ⤷ You can summon Raid Boss Pals by using slabs at the new Summoning Altar ⤷ Raid Boss Pals summoned by slabs are very powerful and can not be captured. Work alongside your base Pals to take on these powerful foes. ⤷ Pals Eggs can drop after defeating Raid Boss Pals. ⤷ The "extreme" version of the Raid Boss is incredibly powerful and difficult to defeat ・New "Training Manual" items have been added. These manuals allow you to give experience points to Pals. ・New item "Ancient Technical Manual" has been added. This manual gives you ancient technology points and can be randomly found inside dungeon chests. ・New "Recovery Meds" items have been added. Using these meds will slowly recover your HP over time.
## Increase Pal Storage 0. Shut down the server 1. Make a backup of your local or server save file (level.sav) and the player files just in case. 2. Download the python utility below: https://github.com/touchfluffytails/Palworld-Palbox-Slot-Injector 3. Download "PalWorld Save Tools" [https://github.com/cheahjs/palworld-save-tools/](https://github.com/cheahjs/palworld-save-tools/releases) 4. Run the command on the save file (you did back it up, right?) ```inject_box_slots.cmd``` (select 17-64 pages, 30 pals per page) 5. Start the server back up And that's it, you can skip the rest of the listed steps in the tool pages, why? Just running the tool against your save file, you will be able to see and interact with the additional storage in the Pal and Black Market merchant "sell pal" screen. The extra steps that are listed in the tool's page (UE4SS, injector, download and install the "Bigger and Better Palbox" mod on the server and for each client, etc will only do two things if you get them all to work: 1. The extra slots (pages 17+) will be visible in the PalBox 2. New players will automatically have their save data adjusted to give them the extra slots. If you just want the extra storage with the caveat that it can only be seen, reorganized and pals on pages 17+ moved to pages 1-16 at a pal or black market merchant, then you only need my 5 steps above and it only needs to be done once on the server (and again if any new players join to give them the extra slots). No additional mods needed and the players connecting to the server won't have to do anything else. I submitted a request in the official PocketPair PalWorld discord "ideas-and-wishes" channel to implement the UI from the pal vendors (when selling) in the Condenser. If they implement that idea, then with just the modified save file you would be able to condense the pals you have on pages 17-64 without visiting a Pal Merchant to move them to pages 1-16 first. https://discord.com/channels/505994577942151180/1066919387921137724 ## Adding bases This one is simple: 1. Download "Duck's Progressive Bases" https://www.curseforge.com/palworld/patch-pak-mods/ducks-progressive-bases/files/5059584 2. On the Server create a "~mods" folder (no quotes) in the Pal/Content/Paks folder 3. Put the pak file from zip you downloaded in that folder 4. Do the same for each client that will connect to the server. 5. Restart the server! ## Other mods Pretty much any mod that comes as a .pak and does not need UE4SS can be installed easily on a Linux Pal server. ## Server Only Mods: These mods only need to be installed on the server (change backend stuff like loot drops) - Gear Progression ## Client Only Mods These change UI items that don't require coordination with the server - Pal IVs (shows the pal inherent stats) Requires UE4SS installed ## Server and Client Mods These make changes that the server has to "allow" and the clients have to be aware of: - Duck's Progressive bases (if installed on the server only, the players won't see the option to build more than 3 bases). I'll add more to this list as I test out and find more mods.
