AP News has picked it up now at least.

even if those pedophiles were in his party

I disagree with you on this. I fully believe that Biden is enough of a status-quo type that he would withhold the documents if there were enough names to significantly damage the current Democrat hierarchy.

I respect the job he did while president, but Biden wasn't rocking the boat any more than he had to.

Great reminder. I've had skin cancer a couple of times and I'm far from what you'd call the outdoorsy type. Caught early, it's a very manageable condition. Keep an eye on your moles and if any start changing quickly, schedule a dermatology exam. I get annual checkups.

FSD (and stock Autopilot, for that matter) are systems you engage while driving, similar to Cruise Control. I feel like the capabilities are different enough that the average driver wouldn't get too used to FSD over a couple week period.

For me as someone who drives a decent amount of country backroads, I'm wondering whether the stock Autopilot obeys stop signs. I know it didn't when I first got the car, and I wasn't in a hurry to test if they added the functionality. I could see maybe someone renting a Tesla with FSD, getting used to it, then not realizing that the next Tesla they rented without FSD was going to blow through a stop sign.

Tesla has also been doing this for years. My 2019 Model 3 has an upgrade option for the acceleration. It's a one time payment, but Tesla's no stranger to the subscription model. They offer monthly fees for the upgraded "self-driving" package and occasionally give me a free trial period to try it out. I've had enough phantom braking incidents with the stock version that I'll never use it.

ETA: Also, any upgrades I get for my car will not transfer if I sell it. I'm guessing that's a big incentive for Volkswagen and the like to jump on board for this shitty practice.

I listened to an audiobook with a main character who had that name (The Rook by Daniel O'Malley) and the narrator pronounced it in a way that rhymed with Tiffany

Peak Road Rash was always timing your kick just right so that they crashed into oncoming traffic

It sure as hell isn't a Shower Thought

I think that's a letter from the Yautja alphabet

I think there was a lot more going on than that. Benioff and Weiss wanted out. They wanted to collect all their accolades and move on to fresh IPs. HBO was happy to give them more money and time to construct full-length seasons, but they chose to push the last two with shorter runs.

I think if they had handed the show off to fresh showrunners ready to build on the existing plot threads and pacing of the show, we'd be looking back on it very differently.

I would add Neil Newbon to the list that really stood out. I thought his acting through the end of Astarion's quest line was the best in the game.
