Thanks, I needed that. Whatever movies you’re watching are terrible.

Forcing your way into Google to have “government techs” change something is NCIS level ridiculous. Conceivably they might get a court order to “force” Google to change.

Didn’t he say full self drive was two years away at least 5 years ago?

Everyone knows the moon landing was faked at a secret soundstage on Mars!
