Popular theory is it murders you then simply makes a copy just like you at the destination. You are now a Xerox. This means you need to be in communications range of the destination to be able to download fresh and latest data scans of yourself to be remade.. But that makes no sense. If it did murder you by taking you apart and destroying you then why would you need to be in a range distance to the destination. Why couldn't you be across the galaxy? All it would need to do is send the latest scan of you and have the destination print you out so to speak. Also what happens if it didn't murder original you? Just left you standing there and made the copy at the destination. Now the copy is all "Yay Im where I wanted to go" but the original you is like "Dangit I wanted to go there

Actor Jeremy Renner is in “critical but stable condition” after being injured in a weather-related snow plowing incident in Nevada, CNN affiliate KABC reported, citing a spokesperson for Renner.
Officers responded to a “traumatic injury” in the area of Mount Rose Highway in Reno, according to a news release from the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office, which has previously said the Academy Award-nominated actor lived in the community.
Wait until you find out you spent it all yesterday.
He lives, (best guess, from what they've said), partway up the Mt. Rose Highway. He may be as close as 20 miles from where the Donner Party got stranded. They get a lot of snow up there, and he's more than likely used to it.Daehawk wrote: ↑Mon Jan 02, 2023 12:28 pm I wonder if stuff got amputated? He has 2 strikes against him already...its in Nevada where snow is unusual except in the high areas in most cases usually so working with an unknown thing and he is an actor who probably doesn't do this stuff himself in day to day life.

Same reason they draw a knife across their palm when they want to draw a little blood. It looks tough.
They are now saying that he was helping a family member stranded on the side of the mountain road near his home and got run over by his own snowcat. He's conscious in the hospital but his condition hasn't been upgraded. He's listed as having blunt chest trauma and "orthopedic injuries".Daehawk wrote: ↑Mon Jan 02, 2023 10:53 am Jeremy Renner critically injured in a snow plowing accident

Yeah, it makes my mind go straight to it happened because it was a Tesla. If being a Tesla was not a proximate cause why would it be in the headline? It's a fact you mention in the story because stories are full of facts but headlines are where every word is meant to be be part of the lede.Jaymon wrote: ↑Tue Jan 03, 2023 6:27 pm That car crash story popped up in my news feed as well.

From the pictures, it looks like it would be pretty easy to get caught up in the tracks if you try entering the cab while it's moving. Apparently he's had plenty of experience operating the equipment, but you only need to fuck up once to have a bad day.The incident happened after a new year storm left around 3ft of fresh snowfall on the ground, Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam said in a press conference.
A family member driving Renner's car had got stuck in the snow near his house, the sheriff said. Using his snow plough, Renner successfully towed the car free.
He then got out to talk to his relative, but the snow plough began to move while empty.
Renner was trying to get back into the driver's seat to stop it moving, when the "extremely large" piece of equipment ran him over, Mr Balaam said.
The PistenBully weighs at least 14,330lb, he said. The average weight of a car, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency, is 4,289lb (2 tonnes).
"An eyewitness detailed seeing Mr Renner getting into the PistenBully and not seeing him again until the PistenBully came to a rest in a pile of snow in front of his driveway," Mr Balaam said.
Renner is a "great neighbour" and always uses his snow plough to clear local roads, the sheriff added.
It is extremely fast and isn't telegraphed much (which makes it very hard to defend against), and can be done when both of your hands are held (like in a bear hug) or you're too close for other attacks. The thing that shows get wrong is that you don't hit them in the forehead with your forehead. Thanks to Mr. Newton, that's a zero-gain attack. You hit them in the face with your forehead - ideally the bridge of the nose. It stuns them enough to give you a chance to break a hold and regain your distance.Kraken wrote: ↑Tue Jan 03, 2023 7:51 pmSame reason they draw a knife across their palm when they want to draw a little blood.

I guess forehead-butting is a real fight tactic because that's one of the thickest, strongest bones in your body. But you can mess yourself up if you do it wrong.
When I saw the article, my first thought was they want to make it appear that Teslas are REALLY safe. Thus you should go buy one.Jaymon wrote: ↑Tue Jan 03, 2023 6:27 pm That car crash story popped up in my news feed as well.

Plus "plunged 250 feet" implies it was a straight drop through the air, which I sincerely doubt.Fardaza wrote: ↑Wed Jan 04, 2023 12:36 pmWhen I saw the article, my first thought was they want to make it appear that Teslas are REALLY safe.

Where I come from, this was always referred to as a "Glasgow Kiss," and I found it to be remarkably effective myself during a schoolyard scrap or two. Because when done correctly, you invariably break your opponent's nose in gory and devastating fashion. Suffice to say, it's definitely NOT a method for the squeamish.Blackhawk wrote: ↑Wed Jan 04, 2023 12:05 pmIt is extremely fast and isn't telegraphed much (which makes it very hard to defend against), and can be done when both of your hands are held (like in a bear hug) or you're too close for other attacks.

It was perhaps scarier for the wife and kids than it was for the husband who was apparently trying to kill them all.Daehawk wrote: ↑Tue Jan 03, 2023 6:22 pm A Tesla car plunged 250 feet off a cliff and the two adults and 2 kids were just fine..like hey we getting burger now?

Tesla plunges 250 feet off a California cliff, all 4 occupants survive
A 41-year-old California man faces multiple charges after he allegedly drove off a cliff on the Pacific Coast Highway with his wife and two children, authorities said.
All four occupants of the Tesla survived the crash Monday after the car plunged 250 to 300 feet below the road it was on and into a rocky beach area known as Devil’s Slide, about 20 miles south of San Francisco, California Highway Patrol said.
California Highway Patrol spokesman Officer Mark Andrews said the car’s three passengers were the driver’s wife and two children. Their names are not being released.
The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office initially said in a social media post that the children were “unharmed.” But the California Highway Patrol said occupants of the car were taken to a hospital with serious injuries.
Based on the evidence collected, “investigators developed probable cause to believe this incident was an intentional act,” the state’s highway patrol said Tuesday.
The driver, from Pasadena, California, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and child endangerment, according to an arrest report. He will be formally booked into San Mateo County Jail after his hospital treatment, the highway patrol said.
On Tuesday, the highway patrol said the Tesla’s high-tech driving features did not contribute to the crash.
“There has been no determination as to what driving mode the Tesla was in; however, that does not appear to be a contributing factor in this incident,” the highway patrol said.
