If mods want to withhold their own work and resign in protest, power to them. But right now they're hanging this all on mass censoring the work of their users. Screw that.
Now, if users want to take down their own content in protest, also power to them.

If you are logged in and click to see all New & Used options, you can select the SHOEBACCA variant at that price.
My guess is that when you're logged in as a Prime member, Amazon defaults to variants that are fulfilled by Amazon so they can guarantee Prime shipping times.
> The Cirrus test pilot performing the spin program noted that while all spins entered were recoverable, they required a method of spin recovery that, while not unique in light general aviation airplanes, is different from that of a light trainer airplane in which a pilot is likely to receive spin training. Significant variability in spin recovery training techniques also exists – ranging from merely releasing the elevator control in some light trainers, to movement of the control to neutral, to brisk forward movement to neutral, to brisk foreward movement past neutral, etc.. In the case of the SR20, the proper spin recovery procedure is to briskly move the elevator control to the full down position. This is an unnatural control movement, when the nose of the aircraft may already appear to the pilot to be pointing down sharply. This is also a movement not typically advocated by spin training instructors due to associated discomfort.

That's definitely not a standard practice, but I can see how that would happen by mistake (e.g. forget to remove FSD from the spec sheet) and then be difficult to get fixed. It's near-impossible to reach the right human at Tesla, so when things fall through the cracks, it's a nightmare. I suspect that's the issue OP is quoting, too -- there's likely a reasonable person at Tesla who can and would help if they knew about this story.
If you sell it to Tesla, they often remove FSD and resell without it; but that's no different than anyone else modifying a vehicle they own and then selling it in its new state.
I think that's true as you stated it, but this wasn't a little 150; it was a 208 (which seats up to 14). Very common to have non-aviation passengers in something like that. On the flip side, the fact that he was sitting front-right seat could be evidence he had some aviation background (e.g. as a pilot + aviation enthusiast, I would excitedly take that seat if it was an option).
I suspect there is a little more to the story. On the LiveATC audio, he was giving descent rates and asking tower/approach for headings. Didn't speak like a pilot but seemed to know more than a layperson. Maybe some aviation exposure but no flight time? Whatever the case, very well done by both him and ATC.
Additionally, the car reminds you of its limitations every time you use it. And it disables if it doesn't detect torque on the steering wheel, or weight in your seat, or the seatbelt clipped in. I understand how someone could be mislead by marketing early in the buying process. But by the time you get to operating the vehicle, it is borderline impossible to use Autopilot and still believe it requires no human attention.
Like you, Andy, and many others, I am not a "rower" but I do use a rower at home to stay in shape with minimal time spent doing so.
I also use a C2 and am hesitant to move off of it. I use a few connected rowing apps, mostly Asensei and Kinomap. They don't deliver a Peloton level of experience but they are good enough to stay motivated and there is no vendor lock-in on the hardware side, which is important to me as this is a nascent industry and I don't believe that all entrants will be winners.
While I have no interest whatsoever in buying another hardware platform, I would gladly pay $40/mo for an amazing software platform for the C2.

I like working within Ableton for a few recording workflow-related reasons but agree SL is fantastic as a standalone tool.
Here's some riffing I did on the Stairway to Heaven solo that showcases it: https://freerobby.wistia.com/medias/vcajgqerla
Ironically, my system for downloading the logs writes them to an SD card on a raspberry pi.
A more cut-and-dry example might be clarifying: if there were a ballot initiative to outright ban strip clubs, and a strip club sent a memo to its staff, correctly noting their jobs would be gone if it passed, would that be a violation of this statute?
