Don't F'ing cut yourself.

Yes you can, you put jerrycans of gas in the trunk/back seat.

practical? meh.

But do that with batteries and the Tesla.

Superchargers provide half a charge in as little as 20 minutes and are strategically placed to allow owners to drive from station to station with minimal stops.

and forget going to say... most of the midwest.

Sorry, the news agencies have not show that sort of competency for about 20 years.

Price?

Cross country trip?

Heck, A trip from LA to SF?

Meh.

Ride a motorcycle or Scooter in California, go to the front of the line legally.

Is your plan to have yourself sterilized?

Everyone knows earthquakes are particles not waves!

You would have to make the case that autism is inherently bad for the human race, and that is not established yet.

And why we WON'T evolve much anymore, we are no longer isolated groups of humans, and we are enforcing conformity where before it was would autistic survive in the wild or not?

I suspect that severe ones would not, while mild or mid level ones might survive in the form of holy men, oracles, etc....

yes!

While still being a nice guy, good kid, decent student no less.... he will help anyone do anything.

Hey! It was 4 minutes to Judge Wapner...

My son is autistic too.

With the right combination of Physical Therapy, Speech therapy, and Occupation Therapy over the last 7 years, he is almost indistinguishable from a "normal" person. He is not that much different from your average geeky kid, except his short term memory is like a database with broken indexing: it is all there, but he has to really work to get it out. If you supply a prompt, the data floods back out of him at a surprising rate.

So far, his only real social setback is he has NO IDEA that all the girls around him adore him. Kid is putting out some sort of weapons grade pheromone or something.

He came home the other day with some cool looking knotting thing going on. Asked him about it, turns out the girl who is the top of the social pecking order in his class saw his shoe untied. She offered to tie it for him at lunch, spent half of lunch break redoing the lacing.

I don't think he will have any problems passing on his genes.

the next Anthony Wiener wannabe sending me his junk in 3D.

We have not evolved enough for this technology.

Word came down today that running any XP images is a security violation.
