    Leave it to Musk to not idiot-proof his Teslas...so now the car will remind drivers that they are driving, lol. Technology making the world dumber again.

    Tesla is recalling nearly all 2 million of its cars on US roads to limit the use of its Autopilot feature following a two-year probe by US safety regulators of roughly 1,000 crashes in which the feature was engaged.

    When referring to a Small Batch exclusive cigar I use the initials SB, but which is grammatically correct, a SB or an SB?

    An should be used before a vowel in most instances.
    An apple, an exclusive
    A before a consonant
    A car, a Smallbatch exclusive

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    So it should be a SB when read non-phonetically and an SB otherwise if the reader thinks phonetically while reading--"an ess bee"?

    Stupid **** that pops into my head is water soluble. I know this because all the great stupid **** that pops into my head while I'm in the shower is gone by the time I get on the forum. I don't know if it gets absorbed into the towel, or just swirls down the drain. If I can figure it out, maybe I'll remember some of this great stupid **** to post here, but for now I've got nothing.

    ;)

    No, no, don't worry about it. You're doing fine.

    Hmmmm. What if I were to sneak into a foreign country illegally, not speaking their language, and expect them to put me up in a fancy hotel, feed me and give me a cellphone? And then I complain the hotel isn't good enough and demand food I approve of instead of the local cuisine? I wonder how welll that would go over? Your thoughts?

    Don't forget to bring your sick relatives and demand free medical care.
