Oh yeah I guess we all just missed hulk hogans big redemption arc over the past few years.

[Hondaracer]

The day people care about their own countries politics over celebrity tabloids will be a lovely day hehe

[westopher]

Yeah politics just ceased to exist in people’s minds because you can only ever know of one thing happening at once ever in the world hehe.

[Jason00S2000]

Wouldn't it be so amazing if Hogan dying was a work and he comes out at the next Raw and wins the Heavyweight Championship again??? Imagine the pop!

Isn't basic autopilot just adaptive cruise control + lane keep assist/lane centering? Which you can find in almost every car. Chevy SuperCruise/Ford BlueCruise/Nissan ProPilot Assist is pretty good, Hyundai/Kia/Genesis lane centering is really good, Toyota lane keep ping-pongs (last tried in 2020), and VWs you can euro mod lane keep to lane centering and get stop-and-go traffic assist (aka it goes to 0).

Hulk Hogan really speed ran ruining his legacy over the last few years, he and Ozzy had such different trajectories in terms of their public perception at death.

Knowing their early careers, who would've guessed that.

Hulk Hogan was billed at 6'8 at his peak...
GSP is 5'10...
Age definitely shrinks you, but by how much?

Hulk had to pay for Nick Hogans sins after Nick put a softball sized hole in that guys head

Nick's old posts on Supraforums were crazy.

Larger than life! I cried.

Man if making it to 71 after abusing roids, painkillers and generally being a piece of shit while raising one as well is paying for sins I'd say he got off pretty easy. He could have died 30 years ago and I don't think anyone would have been shocked given the fate of a lot wrestlers from that era.

[westopher]

Could have gone the Chris benoit path pretty easily

[Hondaracer]

Like Ozzy I think it’s a testament to having $$$

You can survive almost anything if you’ve got access to doctors

You do realize there is a difference between talking shxt, and having beliefs that lands you into trouble, right?

IIRC, his use of a N-word seemed rather callous. Along with his later years of becoming a MAGA supporter, I think it is more likely that his racist tendencies is more than just skin deep.

wait jacky chan's a racist ?

i recall in interviews he said that he's lost a couple vertebrae due to decades of doing thousands of leg drops (basically jumping and landing on your tail bone). health wise i wasn't even sure it's possible to just remove vertebrae or whatever but that's kind of scary if true.

I don't ever recall him being a racist, but I see other similarities between him and Hulk Hogan.

The affair(s) -- Jackie Chan wins big over Hulk Hogan here. The way their sons screwed up. Their highly questionable political leanings. Both of their trajectories as childhood heros for many, only to also have that fall from grace...

[68style]

I saw a lot of vids of Jackie Chan lately I guess due to that stupid Karate Kid movie coming out or whatever, but all the interviews he seems to have come around to being incredibly soft spoken and sweet... he has this side hobby of bringing 2 build-a-bear pandas everywhere he goes and getting everyone he works with to take polaroids with them. It was really sweet.

[Badhobz]

I always liked lacky chan... him and bonnie yang, chow yan fat, and other guangdong bastards are good PR for our people.

Me = bad pr for our people

[GLOW]

i recall jacky has an estranged daughter (or alleged) that is gay and was portrayed he abandoned or didn't support her or didn't agree with her lifestyle...

mind you she currently is also an adult so i don't know if things were bad from the start or what.

Nice, you got all 3! Except that the EV6 interface isn't specific to EV6: Kia deployed it across almost their entire lineup, regardless of ICE or EV.

Is it a twist-type, column mounted? Imo that's the best possible outcome. I like it on our i3. Doesn't take your hands away from the controls, and doesn't take up real estate in the console area.

With the exception of a button here or there changed, or screen sharper and bigger, every 'innovation' will be seen as unnecessary ... .

I mean you're generally right... but some of this stuff was truly thoughtlessly designed.

E.g. moving to touch-based controls (whether that's a touchscreen or capacitive touch buttons): the driver of a vehicle has limited pools of cognitive & visual perceptual resource, and the more that can be spent on actually keeping their car on the road, the safer and better the driving experience.

Since neither touchscreen nor capacitive touch input methods provide any tactile reference, you have to draw from the visual perceptual resource.

The touchscreen is probably the worst, where it's a whole contextual UI that pulls hard cognitive cycles: you have to now even think about what wtf is on that screen and how to interact with it, before you can even carry out your intent.

Haptic feedback is completely unhelpful because that's just superficial feedback to confirm you touched something, after the fact. It doesn't help you aim, it only gives you a sense of satisfaction that yeah "you did a thing".

Ergonomically, there's not even a way to stabilize your gross motor system before you try to do the fine-honing of your fingers to the tiny ass icon in the UI, to do what you wanted to do. Operating little touchscreen buttons was already a pretty intense cognitive / visual perceptual feedback loop, even before adding that your fingers' local coordinate system is shifting as your whole damn arm wobbles in the air!

Compare that to a tactile input system (e.g. mechanical switches and buttons) which:
a) provide the physical references for your fingers so they can freely fumble and grope for the controls: you can eventually commit that to "muscle memory" and carry out your intent with your cognitive and visual perceptual system cut completely out of the loop. You've now
b) provide you a way to for you to stabilize your gross motor system before engaging fine motor actuation, because the controls have a non-zero actuation force threshold.

Just imagine your computer keyboard was a touchscreen. You'd have to go back to staring at it, and slowing down to 2-thumb input.

E.g. electronically actuated doors: one issue with this architecture is that the sensing system's prone to false positives, while simultaneously it isn't capable of higher reasoning... but you can't even help it out because you've been totally locked out of the decision making process: it is overriding you. It's a tripple-whammy of shittification.

The paradigm typically used for Lane Keep Assist is a better match for this scenario, imo. You basically want this thing to be primarily a warning system, and instead of preventing you from opening the door, it should just be some sort of tactile friction or nudge. Maybe add some damping to the door hinge, or vibration / pulsing to the door handle, along with beeps and light flashes.

The other issue is that you've introduced more points of failure to a safety-critical mechanism (getting the heck out of your car during a fire). It's totally ridiculous that a catastrophic event of a vehicle fire results in a single point of failure that causes risk of injury and prevention of escape.

And if there's a backup mechanical override, it's now going to be:
a) something you have to look for*, wasting seconds to minutes of time to escape**, and
b) not often being tested. I.e. at least if a standard mechanical door latch mechanism were to fail, you'd have detected that failure before you had to depend on it when a catastrophic event (like a car fire) occurred. Because you wouldn't have even been able to get into your car in the first place.
*I had no idea how to manually open the doors in the Mustang Mach-E, and google says there's a release somewhere inside the door armrest. Just the fact that there is no standardization to this across different vehicles is an issue, and it's not even consistent within a vehicle like in the case of the Model Y where the front and rear doors have different kinds of emergency releases.
**What about from the outside?? Even with the doors unlocked, how is anyone supposed to open the door and pull you out of the burning vehicle?

The MB one is like a wiper stalk, go down for D go up for R and the P is a button at the end. It's not bad but definitely doesn't feel manly or chunky which is why the AMG GT used buttons and then eventually a console mounted shifter in the 2019 and up version.

For this, a good designer mitigates the stabilization issue by leaving space for your other fingers to rest around the screen while you press the software button on the screen. The Audi screens are designed in such a way that you can kind of splay your fingers out for purchase while you press something, and the important functions are arrayed around the edges in large squares to make it easier to reach.

Still not as good as buttons but better than nothing.
