    I think EE may actually be the worst mobile carrier in the UK. My mum used to be on Orange and was transferred over to EE when the merge happened. The issue is that she now wants to leave the network and get her PAC code off them. But you have to pay 25p every time you call their customer service and they have no free phone number, but they also drop calls so frequently that we haven't even been able to get the PAC code off them and they keep charging us to call them.

    Its absolute BS, they shouldn't be able to charge customers who want to leave, especially if they are gonna keep dropping their calls before they can actually do anything.

    For comparison I am on iD which is a VMNO aimed at cheapskates like myself, even they do not charge for customer support. Its no wonder EE has got a 0.9/10 rating on trust pilot.

    First Tesla Autopilot death occurred recently.
    https://www.engadget.com/2016/06/30/tesla-under-investigation-after-first-autopilot-related-death/

    Apparently a "tractor trailer crossed perpendicular to the path of the car. Neither the driver nor Autopilot applied the brakes.".
    "Because of the height of the trailer, the windshield of the car struck the truck's container as the vehicle passed under it. Tesla believes that its "advanced crash safety system" would have prevented any serious injury if the front of the Model S had the hit truck itself.".

    So in short:
    • In the US trailers do not require barriers to prevent cars going underneath.
    • The Tesla didn't see it for various reasons that really need to be fixed.
    • Tesla needs to fit systems that ensure that the driver is actually paying attention rather than simply assuming they are.
    • people need to pay attention (no surprise there...).

    ^ As someone in a comment on another site put it, Tesla's self driving mode is kind of the worst of both worlds.

    It still requires the driver to pay attention while at the same time making the driver think they don't have to.

    Crap, that's trippy.

    I need a new game because I'm stuck on a boss in MOTHER 3 and can't be bothered to beat it. Any ideas?

    Parkitect. It's basically RCT2 but better. What RCT2 would be if it were written today.
