The mother was on CBS this morning and while the story is sad my wife and I looked at each other with the same question when the mom stated the teen shot himself. Gayle King would have been horrible to start questioning the mother on the gun question but you kind of wish she would have especially in light of the lawsuit.

Earlier this year, after he started getting in trouble at school, his parents arranged for him to see a therapist. He went to five sessions and was given a new diagnosis of anxiety and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.
Sounds like he received some therapy, but this can be an expensive and difficult to access form of healthcare for many.
He put down his phone, picked up his stepfather’s .45 caliber handgun and pulled the trigger.
A tragic story for sure, but there are questions about the teen’s access to the gun he used to kill himself.
You need to charge your phone
Good point
My new Hyundai did this, sorta, and it also had to be recalled. Shifting into reverse would immediately display the rear view camera (good) but then about 25% of the time it would flash a dialogue box on top of the display with instructions on how to operate the display (bad). You could select “Dismiss” or “Don’t Show This Again”. Selecting “Don’t show This Again” did nothing (worse). With the dialog present you could not see the rear view camera display and if you are one of many drivers with muscle memory, the car was already rolling backwards when you realize you cannot see (unacceptable).
Elon sucks and I would never buy a Tesla but just adding this as a reference point that software in cars generally sucks.
He’s a great developer but he needs to find a way not to be so reliant on giant tech companies to make his apps viable.
Do you both have the same type of phone?
Indeed. They discovered that:
shit in = shit out.
I don’t understand a dad joke that never sets itself up to be executed in real life. This is a clever play on words, as are most of the jokes here, but I only value a dad joke that I can reasonably exercise in the moment. How do I make use of this unless my kid happens to ask about minivans giving birth?
Too many families in America, sadly.
